I am very proud of myself It was our county fair this past week, and I had horse shows all week. I can't say I ate right (I only got about one meal in a day, which was usually breakfast). But, I didn't eat ANY food at the fair, and I didn't drink any pop. I had water, and real lemonade (you got to watch them sqeeze it and stuff). It wasn't at all a "healthy" week, because I didn't get to eat at all. I wasn't hungry, but I should have tried harder to sqeeze in a few more meals. Joining this thread for me, was not about loosing weight at all, it was about eatting healthier, and exercising. Well, this week, I was on my feet all day, Wed. - Sunday. I only got about 4-5 hours of sleep every day. I was up at 5:30am and didn't even get home until about 12am. I lost about 10lbs in that time, I'm at about 115, and I'm 5'6". Today, I've at 2 meals, but I feel SO full, from not eatting this past week. Just wanted to share with everyone!!

Good luck to everyone for the next week!

I'm still hanging around. I know I haven't posted lately but I've been lurking. I'm having a hard time. I had lost 9 pounds but I put 3 of them back on. I'm not giving up though. I woke up late today so I didn't feel like breakfast. For lunch we had chicken breasts w/mozzerella cheese over brown rice and some mixed veggies. I already have a nice salad fixed for my supper tonite. I can't seem to do any exercise. I really need some help in that area. So hard for me to get motivated. I'm just so tired and carrying around so much weight that it just seems so hard to me. I have out of state relatives coming to stay for awhile in Oct. and I haven't seem them for quite some time and I don't want them to see me like this. Alden just bought a motorcycle and I can't even ride on it with him because I'm too heavy. Those are two good incentives to go along with trying to be healthy. I can't believe I'm even talking about this stuff. Its so embarrassing. Thanks for letting me talk.

It's 2:00 pm and I've been good so far today on what I've had to eat. My eliptical machine broke during my exercises, but (thankfully) we have a three year maintenance contract. NOTE: Always buy the maintenance contract on exercise equipment. They won't be able to fix it until next Monday, but I still have the treadmill and recumbant bike, so no excuses. We are having some awfully hot and humid weather, so my routine was a bit shorter than usual. Maybe I will pick up a bit more this evening.

I've just got to get into the routine of dieting. Christa, I know you don't believe in dieting, but as far as I've concerned, anytime one eats less than one wants to eat....that's a diet. I just have to eat considerably less or the weight just won't come off. For me it is a health issue. I know once I can get into the routine of eating less, it will be easier, but I just haven't been able to get past those necessary first 3 days, so every day, I start out again.
