Fell Off The Diet Wagon

[Gina]

Ladies, I am so upset with ME!!! I was doing so good excersing and eating healthy. The last two weeks I have been busy with work, haven't gone to the gym and am eating and eating.. HELP!! Anybody else going through this?? I keep saying tomorrow I will get back on.... It's frustrating :mad:

[Janet]

Yes Gina, I am going through the same thing. I think mine started more last week when I started take the Chantix. I haven't gained any, but I'm sure not losing any either. I've just had a lot on my mind too, husbands back, puppies, wanting good weather...you name it, I'm thinking about it.

[Gina]

Janet my problem is that I love food to much.. at night I am bored and look for sweets ughhhhhhhhhhh

[Janet]

That's when I want it too. Sooooo I buy those Weight Watcher cakes and save them for evening. I let myself eat one everynight if I'm in the mood. That's my chocolate fix for the day. I love food too and mostly the stuff that isn't the greatest healthwise, but sure tastes good. I hate being fat!!

I have tasted the WW mint bars they taste like girl scout mint cookies not bad Janet, I can use some ice cream right about now.. lol I went out and brought Edys american idol slow churned ice cream not bad , and its half the calories...

[Forgivenmom5]

At least you guys are on the diet wagon. I keep saying I'm going back on wait watchers and loose at least 10 pounds before I go to the beach and I'm going June 2. I really need to start this week and I might come close to the 10lbs. I need to lose more than that but that won't happen before the beach so I will try for the 10.

[Mandy]

LOL... Gina, dont feel bad! I keep forgetting i was on the diet wagon :D

You'll be able to do it by June, you just have to want it bad enough. I lose the first 10-20 lbs really fast, but the rest takes forever.

[Marilyn]

Gina, Ladies, you are not alone. I was doing so good. Started working out last May, lost about 16 lbs with only about 8 more to go. Backslid a bit over the Christmas holidays. Got back with the program in January. Fell off the wagon in February, but surprisingly a month went by and I had actually lost weight back down to my pre-Christmas weight. Not too bad.

Then last week I weighed again & I've gained 6 lbs. I just have to get back to the gym. I got some capri's out that fit me great last September and they are way too tight!!!

We need to hunt up that weight loss encouragement thread and revive it!!! I, for one, have to find the resolve to get back to the gym. I have 14 lbs to lose to get where I need to be, and for some reason, it's not easy for me to drop that much weight.

I may break down and go to WW.

[Gina]

Okay Ladies now that I ate a delicous breakfast of pancakes...lol that my hubby made. I am going to go to the gym once I pry myself off this computer...lol Marilyn I love capris, hang in there they will fit great once again. :)

[Chandra Amaya]

well I have unwillingly started losing weight again. not that I didn't want to just not this way. I have had a terrible stomach virus for 3 days now. I'm afraid to leave the house because I can barely make it to the restroom here. :thumbdwn: The upside is maybe by the time its over I'll have lost the 30 lbs I want to.

[Mandy]

aww thanks Mandy. I'm trying to drink lots. Seems alot of people have this. :(

Traci, have you tried drinking flat coke? Add a tsp of sugar to a little coke, my old doctor told me to drink that everytime i had a tummy bug.

I have never heard of this but thanks for the tip. I'll definitely try it.

[Mandy]

It always works like a charm for me, but drink it slow :thumbup: Hope it works for you too ;)

[Janet]

We were always taught to drink 7-Up or Sprite when we had upset tummies. We would just sip them, not drink a lot at once. Hope you feel better real soon.

[Chandra Amaya]

ugh that is awful. We've all been complaining about snow & cold sometimes we forget what the other side of the fence is like.

[Mandy]

Its cooling a bit tomorrow, which is great, it changed from cool to real hot way too fast, which is never good.

[AngieDoogles]

Make sure you drink lots of water. You can get dehydrated so easily if it's that hot.

[Mandy]

Make sure you drink lots of water. You can get dehydrated so easily if it's that hot.

Yes, im drinking lots, and lots of water. Its too hot to enjoy any food, so ive had fruit instead :thumbup:

[Chandra Amaya]

[AngieDoogles]

Yes, im drinking lots, and lots of water. Its too hot to enjoy any food, so ive had fruit instead :thumbup:

Sounds yummy. Hot weather makes the best diet, right? lol. Makes you stick to water and fruit or at least light snacks. :)

[Mandy]

& popsicles... hee they are great & taste better... I know i'm bad water is better for you.

You can make those healthy popsicles with jogurt, and freeze them :thumbup: they great! :D

[Mandy]

So true, just want fresh things to eat, i cooked this evening, my husband asked why i fancied standing in a hot kitchen, he wanted to take me out for dinner on a terras awwww .... oh well, maybe next time :D

[Chandra Amaya]

You can make those healthy popsicles with jogurt, and freeze them :thumbup: they great! :D
Crystal light popsicles are great as well :)

[AngieDoogles]

Sounds good! I wonder if Marty would like yogurt popsicles. He loves yogurt...

[Chandra Amaya]

Sounds good! I wonder if Marty would like yogurt popsicles. He loves yogurt...
you could always try it. worst case is he doesn't then you can feed them to Brendon :D Then we can tell him he ate dog food again;)

[Mandy]

If you have a kong for him, make him peanutbutter/yogurt icecream, he will love you for it :D Stuff the kong with the mixture, and freeze it :thumbup:

[AngieDoogles]

I don't have a kong yet but I have been meaning to get him one for the longest time! I will definitely have to do that. I bet he'd just love it!!

[Forgivenmom5]

Hope your son feels better Mandy. I am always cold but I don't guess I would be there huh? Hope it is more comfortable for you tomorrow.

[Gina]

Mandy I hope your son is feeling better. He has a loving mom who will take care of him. He should feel better in a day or two. :) Send some of the heat this way, here in the Northeast its freezinggggggggg, we are having a noreastern and it hasn't stop raining :( :(

[Mandy]

Thanks girls, my son is feeling a lot better today :thumbup: and its so much cooler this am. The weather is changing so much, perhaps we skipped Spring?

[Chandra Amaya]

Thanks girls, my son is feeling a lot better today :thumbup: and its so much cooler this am. The weather is changing so much, perhaps we skipped Spring?
I think you may be right. It does feel like today might be a nice day. We can only hope. I hope your son is feeling better.

[AngieDoogles]

Thanks girls, my son is feeling a lot better today :thumbup: and its so much cooler this am. The weather is changing so much, perhaps we skipped Spring?

NO! We can't skip Spring. lol. I'm so glad your son is feeling better. Hope you have a nice and cool day. :)

[Mandy]

Ok... for the past 2 weeks i have been drinking liters and liters of water everyday, and i still see no change :mad: Im not at all snacking, the only things i drink is LOTS of water, and a few cups of coffee, i never use sugar in my coffee or sweetners.
My son says its because there is no weight to be lost (Bless hes heart) how sweet is he!
My husband says, i need to workout. Now ive suggested we both go for a good 30 minute walk everynight, the weather is nice enough, but he doesnt want to, while he also needs to lose weight!! * UGHHHHHH MEN* :rolleyes:

[Janet]

I wish you were closer Mandy...I'd walk with you. I love walking, just not on a treadmill. My son walks with me and that helps. Today and tomorrow it's suppose to be rainy and crappy, so far, today is following that forecast. Guess I'll walk when it quits raining. It will help Mandy if when you go shopping, park as far away from the door as possible. You won't believe all the stuff you're able to see walking to the store...pretty interesting people out there...LOL

[Mandy]

Ahhhh Janet, i wish i lived closer too, we would have a ball :D
Can you believe this guy? He is now wanting to buy bikes for each of us, and go riding, he said he will put a basket on mine for the girls, and a biketrailer on hes for our lab LOL... can you see this happening? Hahaha... i cant, not in my wildest dreams!!
I told him, ok, but he has to buy a dozen tires to take along with him on the rides, because he could never miss a nail if it came crawling towards him LOL

[Janet]

You are so funny, Mandy. We all have bikes here, but hardly every ride them. I don't mind a nice ride, but to get back home, it's all up hill. Darn near kills me. I'd rather walk it...LOL

[Mandy]

I hear ya LOL... i hate riding uphill!! Good thing about this place, its all sooooooooooo flat LOL - riding over a bridge ahhhhh no that wont happen, uhm... i'll probably dump the bike in the water and walk the rest of the way LOL

I actually knew a guy that did dump hes bike in the canal while riding uphill over the bridge, there was a lot of wind, he was having a bad day, and was so fedup, he threw hes bike over the railing LOL

Hi Ladies, I would like to join this thread.

I started dieting with the group on YT that did the lemonade diet. It lasted 2 weeks for me, then I got sick. But I worked really hard to chnge my eating habits and was doing really well until I had surgery on my elbow 4 weeks ago. I had lost 24 lbs. My goal is 50 lbs, by my birthday in July.

If I hit my goal, I promissed myself I would get a boob job. I have been very heavy chested since I was 11.

Since, my arm is finally getting better, I need to get back with the program. I have 25 lbs to go and 3 months to do it.

I would appreciate any help I can get.

Ok......A lemonade diet? I've never heard of a lemonade diet. Tell me about it.

[goofywife]

Here is the link. It is a cleanse, that helps to rid your body of toxins. Unfournately, I got a kidney infection while doing it.

But you use herbal tea to get things moving in the morning, and you drink 8-10 glasses of lemonade(fresh), cayenne(sp) pepper and grade b maple syrup. It really is tasty if you like lemonaide.

Here is a link with a pdf about it.

I wonder if anyone else on here has tried it, and if it really works?

Stick around girl, these ladies are all very supportive! :)

[Janet]

I don't see how that lemondade diet could be healthy for you at all. I would think if you wanted a good cleanse drinking plenty of water could do the trick. I've been trying to follow my own type of diet.

I've just been following the WW idea of portion control. I've been eating whatever I want but in the correct portions. I also do no snacking after 7:00 PM and I cut out all pop, and white stuff. I've lost 20 lbs and I'm kind of stuck right now and have been for awhile. I haven't been exercising and I think that has a lot to do with it. Once I'm able to get out and do more I'm sure it will come off again. I've just told everyone that I'm not in any hurry this time.....at all!! All the other diets I have tried in my lifetime worked great, but the lbs came back just as soon as I quit the diet. Not going to happen this time.

[Jessica R]

Ladies, I am so upset with ME!!! I was doing so good excersing and eating healthy. The last two weeks I have been busy with work, haven't gone to the gym and am eating and eating.. HELP!! Anybody else going through this?? I keep saying tomorrow I will get back on.... It's frustrating :mad:

I'm exactly in the same boat. I work for a CPA firm and since the final week of tax season I totally fell off the wagon. I was doing so good before then, 26 lbs off. This morning is my weigh-in; I haven't gained any weight, but sure haven't lost any either. :(

I normally don't stay for the meeting at Weight Watchers, but I'm going to today. I'm definately going to finish losing this weight, so I can participate in my children's summer activities! I took the entire summer off, and I'm not going to ruin that by sitting out of the pool this year again. I might not get in till July, but I'm going to make it, lol. Sorry, giving myself a pep-talk. ;)

Good luck, Gina!

I'm so sorry you got sick. :(

I think Weight Watchers is (lol, was) really working for me. They use this point system based on calories, fat content, and fiber. I signed up for the cheapest monthly program and it includes their online etools, so it's a cinch to enter info, and you get to record your diet and activities on the online journal. (www.weightwatchers.com). I've lost 26, but still have 45 more to go. It's great that you're halfway there, and I know you'll be able to do it by July. If we were on the same side of town; I'd suggest we start meeting for walks.

Good luck, and I know you can do it!

Ive never heard of it. Im going to squeeze some lemon juice in my water, to see if that is willing to burn some of those LBS :rolleyes:

I drink a hot cup of water as soon as i wake up, i have heard that helps :confused: Thats also going to get that lemon juice sqeezed in it, those extra's will get burnt, one way or the other LOL

Jessica , today I have a Commuion brunch, but I promised myself that when I get back I am going back to the gym. I am paying and not ulitizing it, and I was doing great.. We all have to focus and be discplined my aim this week is to do it.. Once you slack, it is hard to put yourself in that gear.. But it can be done, ladies we should really encourage each other and keep this thread booming, offering suggestions and what is working for them.

[Janet]

I know, we need to keep it going, but summer is a bad time for me to diet. I do much better in the winter time as far as watching what I eat. I get outside in the summer and forget to eat and then I'm so hungry I eat everything I'm not suppose to. I hate to stop doing something just to eat....LOL I'd rather get my task done, but by then I'm starving!! Not a good thing. I still haven't gained any back yet though.
