Trying Again....and again...

[Janet]

I've been using the program on MyFitnessPal.com. It has a lot of food items already in it's database so I'm just counting calories. I do watch the fat, sugar etc, and if it's too much of course I say "Janet...do you want to be thinner?" and I put it back......lolol

It will also keep track of your exercise and will tell you when you should be at your goal. It really is a very simple program and I also have it on my iPad2. So far I've lost about 6 lbs, but it's going to be quite some time before I will show any weightloss. I just hate walking by a mirror. Such a big stomach and back end!!!

Anyway, I'm eating more fruits and veggies and less of the bad stuff . Hopefully I'll reach my goal weight by 2050....

Oh YEAH, Janet!!! You can do anything that you set your mind to do......you've proved that in the past!!!........and before 2050!!! I'm so proud of you!!

We've had a really hard time getting back on our diet since Christmas. Not that we've gone off of the deep end or anything but it's just so easy to cheat......and all those cheats add up. Amy has gotten serious and has lost another 3 pounds and has lost almost 50 pounds!! Dae Lynn has lost ove 40 and I've lost 25 still. I had lost almost 30 but I've gained a little back but with the girls losing it's really giving me some motivation. When I start swimming this summer and get more active then I know that I'll lose more!!

Janet, find you a partner or someone you can walk or exercise with and that will help!! You're so good at meeting your goals and I know that you can do this one. Just make small goals......not one huge one!!

[Janet]

Thank you so much for the support. I so appreciate it. I am taking one afternoon and driving to a girlfriends house 30 minutes from home and we are going to walk. She's trying to lose also so we've been encouraging each other. She's the friend from school who's mother is in a nursing home.

I really couldn't do the diet you and the girls are on. I can't leave out a lot of the things I like and for as big as I am, I don't like a lot of things. Counting calories and walking will probably do better for me. We'll see anyway. I wish I would have started sooner.....hey..I did..a million times....LOLOL

Good for you Janet. Were all very proud of you.

I don't know how much you use ground beef but I found an imitation that taste exactly like ground beef that can help with your diet.

I have tried other meats but this is my favorite.

Good luck on your diet.

[Janet]

Thanks Jess, I'll have to see if I can find it. Would they have it at Wal Mart?

[JJJ]

I have not seen it at Walmart. I get it either at Whole Food Market or Kroger. Theirs also a Soyrizo (mexican imitation sausage) at HEB.

So far those are the only meats I say I like.

Keep at it, Janet! The walking will be nice, and may motivate you more!

[DianaB]

How's it going, Janet?

[Janet]

It's going very well. I'm hardly every hungry and I've lost 8 lbs total. I'm using that website I mentioned a logging all I eat. It's hard at times deciding on what I want to eat, but I've got plenty to choose from. I just have to remember to choose wisely. I'm really hoping I will stick with it this time.

[DianaB]

Sounds good!!

My scales went wacky after I cleaned it the other day so I'm not real sure where I'm at!! It weighs heavier than it was......bummer!! I've been doing really good on my diet and I think that I've lost a pound or two but without the scales working properly it's hard to tell.

[Janet]

Guess it's just time to buy a new scale Diana....lol. Tomorrow after I take my friends mother to the dentist, I'm going to go for a walk. Hope the sun is shining.

[DianaB]

If your weather is anything like ours it will be a nice day!! Enjoy!!!

[Janet]

It is so pretty out, but haven't gone for the walk yet. I've lost a total of 9 lbs as of this morning. Eating all the right things and drinking plenty of water. Sure wish it showed, but when you weigh as much as I do, it will be awhile.

[DianaB]

You'll be surprised at how quickly you'll notice it in your clothes even if people aren't noticing it. Nine pounds is really good!! Go to the grocery store and pick up a couple of bags of sugar!! That's what you've lost!!! You'll start feeling better without the weight too.

Stinkin' scales!!! I'm just going to pretend that they're right. I really think that they're 5 pounds off of where they were. I'm back on the diet pretty good now. I can tell because I feel so much better!!

[Janet]

I've lost a total of 10 lbs so far. I am thrilled beyond belief. It puts me below 250 lbs now. I wouldn't tell that on any othe forum but here. No reason in the world I should weigh that much except plain ole over eating. I love food.

Logging everything on MyFitnessPal.com is working for me. I'm not doing without either.
