Trying Again....and again...

[Janet]

Sometimes I wonder if I should even bother....I mean life is short and this is just so aggravating. Eating healthy is one of the hardest things in the world for me.

[DianaB]

I know how you feel. I can tell energy-wise that I don't feel as good and my energy level is much lower. I hate feeling this way!!

[Janet]

The energy thing is what I'm wanting more of... I read that vitamin B12 is good for low energy...is that right? I've been reading a bit about it, but can't decide if it's something I should start taking or not. Anyone else have thoughts on B12?

[gja1000]

Yes, B12 is good for low energy. But in the past it was most effective taken by a shot. I don't know if that still true.

[DianaB]

I took a vitamin that was a complex of B vitamins.......and yes, it made me a LOT more active!!! I have trouble taking things like that though because it makes my heart act up!!

[Janet]

Well then, before I do take something I'll talk with my Dr about it. Not sure when, but I don't want to take something if it's going to make my heart race.

[gja1000]

For some reason, I have a better control of my appetite this week. I wish I knew why I get so out of control sometime.

[Janet]

I feel it's my emotions. If I'm upset, stressed, down...I eat more, especially the bad stuff.

[gja1000]

I'm just the opposite, when I'm stressed I can't eat. So when things are going well, that's when I'm most likely to overeat. . And sometimes I just can't stop eating and I don't know why.

[Janet]

Well truth be told....I overeat anytime....lolol...but mostly when I'm down. When I'm feelilng good I'm usually too busy to want to eat much.

I gained back 20 of the 19 pounds I lost last year! I got addicted to dollar store candy, chips, and Little Debby cakes, which are pure fat!

I am trying to eat well. I think I'll aim for losing 10 pounds and be happy with that. I only have one pair of jeans that still fit!

Ahhhh......I wish I had the metabolism I had when I was young!

[gja1000]

My appetite is greatly increased with all this exercise. I'm trying to eat healthy and less, but I don't think I'm doing very well.

[DianaB]

I've been doing horrible and making cookies this week is NOT helping!! I've gained a lot of my lost weight back but I'm not sure how much because the scales are broke.

[Janet]

I'm watching.....but haven't lost any more weight. I'm staying right at 237 -240. Don't like it, but if I would exercise more I'm sure more would come off. Every place here costs so much to join, so I don't. I do use my ab lounger, but that's been it. I need to get busy, my 40th class reunion is next June and I would really like to lose 80 lbs before that....wishful thinking I know.

[gja1000]

I'm learning in my exercise class that exercise doesn't really help with weight loss. It's the number of calories taken in, that is the trick. EVERYONE says you must track your food, that is the most reliable to control the calories in.
