Trying Again....and again...

Lindsey, from the pictures I don't see where you want to loose weight. But if you do, the best way is to start eating 5-6 small meals a day. Make tuna sandwiches an eat one half and save the other for a few hours later and so on. Keep slice apples deep in peanut butter to snack on.

Cut down on carbs too Linds. And, drink lots of water!

I keep sabotagine myself. I ate a big bag of Tootsie Roll Midgies for dinner this week. I'm just not ready! Usually, I pig out before I begin to seriously watch what I eat. I guess that's what I'm doing.

You all are doing so well!

Jessica, that is really sweet. I know I don't NEED to lose weight, but I just know I was smaller before, and I want to be smaller again. I am 5'8 and 145 lbs. I used to be 5'8 and 125 lbs, but I've filled out since then (hips, chest, and I finally grew a butt lol!) I want to be around 135 though. Even a smidge under 140 I'd be happy with. I am worried though that the weight I lose will be chest and butt!

Gayle, I will try to cut down to 1200 calories.

I normally just snack on fruits and veggies during the day. I'm eating my lunch right now and it's just slices of carrots, celery, and a fat-free yogurt. I try to make healthy food for supper, even if it's just swapping things out in normally unhealthy meals lol... last night was tacos but we used extra-lean gound beef, lots of veggies, low-fat sour cream, and whole wheat tortillas. I ate less than I normally do.

No matter what the scale says, I am still feeling healthier than I did before. I think maybe I should stop looking at the scale every day.

I've been stuck for a few days, so I'm drinking more water. I do feel like I'm losing and someone asked me the other day if I had lost weight!!!! Yay....I don't see it yet, but I'm sure glad someone did. I know I'll get over this hurdle, but until then, make sure I drink my water and add some exercise. I finally bought me some new walking shoes so I'm planning on walking....

Good for you Janet. Keep it up.

While you ladies have been losing I have been gaining a few pounds.

I'm afraid I've been gaining too... I'm still doing my workouts every day and feeling great but caring a little less about what the scale says. We were out at a going-away party on the weekend and Scott laughed and told me a group of college guys behind me were checking me out. It boosted the self-confidence a little bit LOL!!!
