How do you eat your vegetables?

Well, one thing I've been doing is bringing along a frozen veggie to work to put in the microwave at lunchtime. I always bring a Smart Ones meal or similar type meal and add a container of some kin...

Over-eating In The Evenings

Hummus sounds good, I'll give that a try, the crunchy aspect of the cukes sounds great, and I've had hummus before so I know I like it...thanks for that great idea!

Over-eating In The Evenings

I tend to go for salty fatty snacks above all else, but also carbs.....cheese & crackers, ramen(with cheese), soft pretzels, peanut butter, sometimes ice cream... I've tried water...it helps, ...

Profile Information

About Me:
I am a 42 year old wife and mother...I've got a 16 year old daughter and two stepsons, one 16 and one 21 and now also a 21 year old Daughter-In-Law!

I've had weight issues as long as I can remember and this is truly the only serious attempt at losing the weight I've ever undertaken. I'm not sure what is different this time but it's working. I guess I was finally ready, and I'll tell you it feels great.

Highest known weight: 310
Current weight: 250 - up 8 pounds from my last weigh in but I'm back on track!!!
Goal: 150

100 pounds to go seems like a huge thing, and it is...but I'm at 60 pounds lost and finally being able to put that big weight on the scale at the 200 and working my way down is great!

I can honeslty say I enjoy working out and that it surprises me. I get into the gym, get sweating and feeling it in my muscles, and it drives me to work harder...I've been off track for a while, but getting back in the swing to get rid of more of this extra weight. It'll kill me if I don't!

Blog To Lose is a great tool and I feel like I've made friends here. This sit is full of people who get me, who understand this struggle, and who are here to support and not judge. I feel blessed to have found BTL and can't imagine how I'd do this without all of you! And to think it all started with a search for whole wheat orzo! Long story, but ask and I'll fill you in sometime!

Good luck to everyone else!!

Can't believe the number....

Got on my bathroom scale this morning. I haven't been weighing in at all lately, and it was a shock. I knew I'd gained, but boy did I ever gain...more than 10 pounds...how depressing! Anyway....that isn't going to shake me from staying focused. In fact, if anything it is motivating me to eat right and keep going to the gym. I mentioned a few days ago how tight my jeans are...well no darned wonder! I'm getting there..come hell or high water! So the plan tonight is to meet my friend Michelle at… Continue

On Track REVISITED...

Well, yesterday I felt pretty bad about myself. I did go to the gym, got 55 minutes of cardio in. That felt like a mini accomplishment. I stayed focused all day with my eating. The only time I strayed a tiny bit was the ONE bite of my daughter's McFlurry! ONE bite...I had a decent dinner (chili, rice, 1 corn muffin)...then brushed my teeth and stuck with water from 8pm on! So, today I am feeling a bit better...and shoving my brain back around what I know is the right way to handle all of this.… Continue

On Track?

I've been saying I want to be on track for weeks now, and talking the talk....but I haven't been walking the walk...or lifting the weights, or walking the treadmill...NOTHING....at least not much of anything. WELL....this past week's been an eye opener...my jeans are tight again, and I am beside myself about it. I feel fat and ugly....dumpy, gross...you name it. I am trying to get my brain back around the lifestyle I want to have. I don't know why I am stuggling so much, but I know I NEED to ge… Continue

Getting "ME" time back soon!

Well, the marching band season is dwindling down and will soon be over for this year. It makes me very sad to see another year over for the marching band, and I tend to get very down when it's all over....but on the flip side, I will soon be getting "ME" time back! I haven't been able to get to the gym enough, and this has led to excuses about everything else...including the way I've been eating. Not enough time to cook decently, everything is fast and mostly not as good for me as it should be.… Continue

I looked for clementines in the produce section at Wal-Mart last night and I couldn't find them. Maybe I will try the local produce stand or HEB.

No, your comment wasn't pushy. And I do usually rely on myself. I have been losing on my own and Jerod starts ww but never fully commits. Just kind of half a** does it. I told him that can't do it for him, that he needs to wait until he is really ready. My thing is I just don't want him tempting me with something he knows that I shouldn't be eating. What do clementines taste like? Are they like oranges?

Thanks for the comment. I usually do bring my lunch, but just couldn't get my crap together this morning. I am planning on making a quick trip to the grocery store after work and going home and getting some f&v ready to bring tomorrow. I will not let this holiday season end up like all of the rest. Now, I've got to tackle getting my a** to the gym!

Hey Michele! Sorry this week wasn't very supportive for you. Next week will be better I promise!

Hi Michele. You are so awesome. Thank you so much for such an inspiring and back to reality comment. I really really really needed it this morning. I know that you usually don't jump on during the weekend, so I'm so glad you did and were able to cheer me up a little bit.

Honestly, I was not going to work out this morning (just to have a break because I worked out hard every day last week) but I think that is bringing me down. I'm going to pick out an easy workout and go sweat myself out of it.

We did make a committment to each other and I'm going to take it serious. I know it is hard for both of us and we are going to do it together. 15 pounds a piece.

Thanks so much Michele!!!

Hi Michele. Just emailed you...let me know when you get it!
At 1:55pm on October 24, 2008, Lynn said…
Hi Michele. I think that sounds like a great start. If you want we can email our food journals daily to each other. That way I will be forced to have some sort of accountability!!! Not sure how often you get on here, but I am on here every day. I can also give you my work email...just to increase availability.

As for working out, I do have that under control. I work out every single morning in my living room. I have a bunch of Leslie Sansone walking workouts that I do with 8 or 10 pound weights.

I really want to end this year under 200 pounds. It will be the first time I do that since I was in high school (15 years ago)!

Michele,

I am sorry about your dealings with TOM. My problem is I had a hysterctomy 5 years ago, so I never know if or when he'll show. FUN!

I just found this website on Splenda: http://www.truthaboutsplenda.com/index.html
I think it is sounding pretty unhealthy--similar to aspartame.
