welcome lory glad to have ya.:cool: and 50lbs in 4months that is great you should be very proud. and to answer your question it depends on what i am eating. some days i can eat a cup and others no. this is just my opinion i dont see any thing wrong with eating 3meals and 2 snacks if you need it as everyone is different and what works for one person may not work for others. but, i did learn this and i stand firm on it. watch your body if it is telling you your hungry after eating those 3 meals add the snacks cuz if your not getting enough to eat then the body is starving. those snacks might be what you need to keep you an track and the scale move n. i learned that the hard way. was eating only a meal a day and my body was starving. and im so happy we all motivate you. i like ww as i dont feel like im giving up every thing. and i do feel satified and i have met some great ppl along the way. so lets get moving see you all at the finish line.:cursing: and to skinnygirl this wkend was cool i havent been in the gym but, have been walking alot and seem to be doing well. burning 550 or more calories a day and im fine with that. well my kids baked brownies tonite and i didnt have any. :w00t: and here is a non scale victory for everyone i put on a pair of brown capri's i got like a month ago and i can almost climb in2 them without unbottoning them or unzipping them so i think im losing alot of inches. think im gonna buy a messure n thing at the fabric store and messure myself every month and see what happens. and my walk group is getting bigger i now have 3other women i walk with durning the wk. now if i could only find the time to add swimming in i would be good. im working on trying to put together a food menu and workout menu for the wk and follow that and see if that helps me out more and put it on my fridge along with a pic of what i dont want to look like ever again. my kids have there dads skinny gene they are really hyper. right now im trying to break a very nasty habit and not eat after 10pm and then slowly get it down to 830 maybe. so im telling you all this cuz its a fight everday and im sure gonna win it. im planning a cruise to jamacia in sept 2011 and i would like to be down to a size 20 by then or smaller so that would mean i have to get my ass in gear and do what i need to do. any takers wanna ride with me. :tongue2: and of course i will do the challenge with you i think its important to set small goals as it seems reachable rather then doing big ones and then get overwhelmed. so yes that is my goal for june 10lbs. did anyone ever try the smooth move tea:thumbup: i love it. so monday is a new start i will post it all even if its bad i love this group it really helps me to know im not in it alone. love ya china whats everyones first name me china :scared2:

hey there im here. we yes i do have kids they are 11 and 6 i have one of each. and im close in your age range. a women never tells her age or weight at least that what my mom always says. well i got on the scale and to my suprise i have lost 2lbs im ok with that. i have been drinking shakes and smoothies as its just to damn hot for food. my kids eat the same thing over and over so there easy. and your so right some times we have to indulge to get it out of our systems. that salad sounds so good. and no i dont eat bread to much it doesnt digest good for me. i think your doing great just remember when the scale doesnt move that you are losing inches. and that is a very good thing. and i so kno what you mean about the kids being home my kids are skinny and eat what ever so i cant deprive them cuz mommy cant eat it. i will have to let you know how that goes for me.

i am so proud of you good job there hun. you really must go out and celebrate. and honey if money grew on trees i would have to many trees in my back yard. and i would shop every damn day.:thumbup: and i to love this thread to. i have been doing ok i have not been eating really seem the hotter it gets the tighter the band gets so i have mostly been drinking more and maybe a meal in between. other than that i have been doing ok. i started working more and burning more calories so that is a real plus. so i hope this wkend goes good for me i will keep ya posted on that and you do the same.

dont worry i am i cant have ya all lookin hot and im not. well today was a better day i walked at the park in the rain then went shopping with my mom so it was all good. i did renew my gym membership and added my boo so he said we can workout together some times he little as hell.:thumbup: but, my gym partner joined so we can work out again together so we will see. so here is what i had today b-2med. eggs,2patties s-1c Cereal,.50c milk l-lean cusine meal 260cals s-med coff, .50 donut:redface: d-lean cusine meal 280cals i didnt have my ww book so cant tell ya what the points are. left it in my friends car and her son riped it up so i have to try and get another one.

hi everyone how is every thing going, me im doing ok not great but, ok :thumbup: i went to ww today and i gained a lb im not worried or stressing im just ok. wow its funny that you would post about the scale and stuff i did look at it at ww but, didnt want to pay $35. and i do plan on getting those books that you mentioned as i think they can really help me. i to have the older food scale and maybe i will look at prices for a digital one. i think you made some great food choices if you ask me. so you should be proud as you know you could have eaten way more than you did and passing on the cake that was a classic:thumbup: you get cool points for that. well everyone is doing great keep up the good work well i didnt post what i eat will start back 2morow with ww and keeping track of what goes in the tank:biggrin:.

omg im so happy for you. keep up the good work well i have been kinda off track with this test and all. we i took it and passed it so now im getting back on track starting monday. but, i will eat healthy over the wkend. i didnt weight this wk but, will do so tuesday and see what damage i have done. well what ever it is i will work it off. monday is the start of a new me in more than one way. so i will keep everyone updated on how that is going. im going to ww 2morow and buy that 3month journal i think that will really help me and the dinning out book. i saw they had a packet for 25. i think im gonna treat myself and get it. i really would luv to get that ww digital food scale. i mite gotta work on that one. so how is everyone doing this wk. well lets keep up with the posting as it is very important. skinnygirl let me know how you made out.

hi everyone i still on board and happy to report when i got on the scale tuesday i was down 8lbs. it was so funny i asked the lady at ww are you sure she said yes im sure. i must tell everyone it felt great to get that sticker. now its a new month and i plan on really getting in 2 the gym this month. i have been swimming on and off but, gotta step it up and do more and i set a mini goal for may of 12lbs. so i will see how that goes. what is everyone else up to these days. and i purchased a pedometer to keep track of how many calories and steps im doing and i like it. and to freebird doesn't matter what you do for excerise as long as your moving good job keep up the good work.

skinnygirl when you least expect it the scale will move trust me. but, just cuz your not losing weight doesn't mean any thing as you can be dropping inches and that is a good thing also but, your like me i said but, the wlc doesnt count inches they count lbs. but, i would take those inches and be just as happy. i seem to be thinking about that damn scale alot lately. i was at my moms house 2day and saw her scale and got on it again and its saying im down 1.1lb since tuesday. i didnt buy a scale for this very reason. however i have noticed that i must be getting a cold and seem to be very tight and pb today. so gonna do yogurts and thing for a day or 2. my body aches das for sure. i dont feel like doing much of any thing. however i do have to get back into the gym. its a new month and i have to work my tail off as my mini goal for may is gonna be 12lbs for the month. so i will keep everyone updated on how its going. i noticed you have a hard time on the weekends like me next to my store is a bakery and it seems like it be calling me let me tell ya so i think im gonna start posting on the weekends even if its bad. however 2day it was ok. b-1.5pk of oatmeal w/water=3pts l-1 pb cookie, med. coff,2creams,splenda=4pt s-med.coffee w/sug,cream_2pts d-chinese pork w/mushrms=5pts(pb it all up) 14pts eaten out of 44
