Healthy Weight Loss

Honey, I've been there and done that! As easily as I can motivate myself somedays, other times I can fall prey to my own peer pressure. I'm telling you, there are days when I have ZERO willpower. Once I get an idea in my head that I want something... it takes everything in my power to just say no. Somedays, I can't. Honestly, it's an addiction.

Try getting some healthier chocolate options and keep them in your desk. 3 Muskateers are "supposed" to be a good choice if you have to raid a vending machine. I know, it's fuckin' tough when you hear a Reese's Peanut Butter cup calling your name.

You are NOT weak Jackie! You can do this! Remember, when the days are hard, take it one meal at a time!

(sigh) I'm eating sweet granola now.....

Ohhhhhhhh Rosie............I'm just so disgusted with myself....What happened to the gung ho "I'm gonna do this" attitude..........I've been bad....bad...bad...

The sabotaging myself thought process has begun......

I'm sorry I'm being a downer in here folks. I don't mean to be negative and wish everyone continued success....

Maybe I should be a contestant on Survivor. That's the only way I'll fuckin' lose weight by eating bugs and shit....

Seeee you can do this! Good choice on the granola! And Corkey is right, DARK CHOCOLATE is the best alternative there is to the bad stuff.

You are not being a downer honey. We've all had those days, where sabotaging ourselves is a hell of a lot easier that motivating ourselves. It's easy to fall back into our old ways and/or eating habits. That's why this journey is a bumpy one.

This group is all about the support & encouragement... we are all gonna have those days where it seems like we are fighting a losing battle. But let me tell you... I HAVE ALL THE FAITH IN THE WORLD IN YOU! You might be down, but you won't be for long. You are far too determined & stubborn I might add, to go defeated my friend! TRUST that!

OMG. I am SO excited!!!

My favorite Gayboy at work has been so supportive and rooting me on with my weight loss. He truly is the sweetest boy ever and informed me today that he was going to sell me his Nordictrack Elliptical for $100! This is the same machine he paid almost $1000 for!

I am BEYOND excited and can't believe I'm about to get my wish - Have been looking all over for the last year for an elliptical and have been disappointed several times because I want a quality machine that will support my weight. I have been looking all over the paper and craigslist and just couldnt pay what people were asking and so my delightful friend is helping me out so wonderfully.

ELLIPTICAL LOVE!

My Wizards weighed me in at 199 today.

For 7 years I have not seen a number below 200.

I attribute this to our changed eating habits via what I put in the cart at
the grocers. And difficulty with the face ~ feels like it ran a marathon after
a minute or so of chewing. That's another deal all together, but still.

I stepped on that stoopid scale today and I always let them know to
start at 200. They did, and I saw the thingy not move. She drops it
down to 150 n slides that thing over...it evened out at 199.
Wow. Just Wow.

Encouragement goes a long way.
There's a lot of it in this thread.
So thank you everyone!

I am having a 6oz bowl of plain Greek yogurt with one teaspoon of honey and it tastes better than the other stuff.

Hi, Zimmy.

Consider trying the natural sweetner agave nectar. It is excellent and completely natural. It is the only sweetner I now use. I would recommend this brand. You should be able to find it in natural food stores if you can't find it in your grocery store.

Congratulations, Medusa! I just got mine put up the end of last week (finally). I am planning on taking the Thinker 30 day challenge and checking in here for the group to hold me accountable (well, in my own mind).

So far I am 2 for 2! I am forcing myself to do it early in the mornings b/c otherwise I won't do it. So odd to get up when it is still dark out!

Getting to be that time of year, when you haul the crockpot out for some easy cooking. Here's something I experimented with this weekend that turned out pretty good.

4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (frozen is ok)
1 sweet red pepper, diced
half of one sweet onion, chopped
2 jars salsa (your choice)
1 can black beans
1 can corn (drained)
half to a full packet of taco seasoning (I used half a packet of the low sodium kind)

Put the chicken on the bottom and dump the rest of the stuff on top. Cook on low for 7 hours. I served this over some brown rice and it turned out great. Lots of room for variations with the recipe. This was me just clearing out some stuff in the freezer and fridge, really. In all, pretty healthy dish.

HACK - We LOVE the crock pot in this house and I'll definitely be trying that! Might be a good chicken mush to put in a wrap!
