Nimm

Have been wondering this myself so thanks everyone for all the answers!
I actually just thought of this -- I studied abroad in France for four months and while there, I saw parents (several times) pouring a bit of wine into the Water they gave to their children - a common practice in France. And wine has been said by many people to actually be good for your heart... so I'm wondering if maybe that's not a bad idea. Maybe not day one, or even week one, but adding a tiny bit of whatever type of wine you want to Water to ease back into that lifestyle for those who need it.
I'm going to try to stay away from fruity/sugary stuff myself, but I'll also be honest - I'm 24, and I'm in college still. It's just a social thing (plus I likes my wineee) but I'm going to be much smarter about it now *hugs stomach*

Thanks everyone!
I actually picked up the Jillian Michaels dvd this morning at Target while I was out (wish I would have checked this out before I left, or I would have looked out for the Sansone dvds. Maybe I'll have to go back! And as far as cable goes, you know I hadn't thought of that - will definitely have to check it out.
Didn't complete the WHOLE workout session (although 80-90% of it!) and my arms and legs feel like Jello. This good. Going to stick with it for the full 30 days or die trying I suppose. Except not really.
I WANT TO TAKE A ZUMBA CLASS SO BAD! They look like SO much fun. I just want to give myself some time to get comfortable with the idea of working out before I do. Maybe come next semester!

:S I dont know what's wrong with my scale. I get on it at the same place and it keeps on giving me different numbers. Most of them I do not like, so until proven differently I'm going to pretend it's just broke and I magically lost lots of weight. Yup.

Not sure what I was last week, but woke up to a shiny 312.2! Holla, close to being out of the 300s!

Haha! He went to school with me every day (Even had a teddy-bear sided Beauty and the Beast backpack) and was there for my kindergarten graduation too. And my highschool graduation. And when I went to France. And the second time I went to France (and Italy, and London, and Switzerland.) And when I graduated (although I kinda didn't, whoops) from college. There's no way my mother would have even DREAMED about getting rid of him. I'm being buried with that thing!

Why are some people on here so rude and nasty we are all in this together everyone knows what to eat this is a life style change but we also have to live our lives and if someone wants to eat a icecream sandwich in moderation that is fine they don't need to be beat up about it. I cannot imagine eating just Protein and not having a treat for the rest of my life. But you van rest assured I will not talk about out here since some people think they ate the judge and the jury

I'm so scared to cheat, haha. I've been watching that scale go down every other day and I'm CONVINCED if I have anything sweet at all it's going to bounce back up to my original weight. (I know this isn't the case but karma has never been nice to me)
If you limit yourself from everything good you're going to go crazy and binge. I've been to a few support group meetings and more than several people have stated this. As long as you keep such things as, let's say a weekly or bi-weekly treat, you should be absolutely fine.
I'm living quasi-vicariously through you guys until I stop looking at the scale and work up the courage to visit a Coldstone. I think if I meet my mini goal I'll treat myself to a scoop!

As long as you don't start justifying a "treat" every day, you should be ok! It's the "I deserve this treat every single day or two or three or four times a day" issue that leads us back to where we were.
I had a 1/4 of a roll at the pizza place (along with some salad and the toppings off of 1 slice). I had vowed I would NOT eat that roll, but dammit it smelt so good!

Last week was 294, this week is 290.2...another 3.8... !

I'm so glad someone else thought of this too! Hahaha.
I don't do heights to well so rides and airplanes are kind of a meh goal for me. I do however want to be able to walk into to say a Target and be able to buy something that will fit. Or a GAP, oh that would be so much betterrrrr.
And I want a cute pea coat that doesn't make me LOOK like a pea!

Man, just think about how awesome it's going to fit into those pants every time you start feeling down. That makes me wish I'll stumble across something awesome like that to keep my hopes up!
Keep truckin' - you'll get there!

here another post of yours

I am 5'3"
Date of Surgery Weight: 227lbs.
Today's Weight: 138lbs.
Goal Weight: 127lbs.
this is the post of proud person who CAN DO THIS. you did great job. please don't ruin it now.

Hey, what's happened?
I found your post form 6 month ago
where is the person who wrote it? Come on.... I am sure you can be back on track. put the picture of yourself before surgery on the refrigerator and ask yourself DO YOU WANT TO BE LIKE THIS AGAIN??

It's ok, you can be that person again.
Tomorrow is a new day. If you mess up, try again.
Getting off track and gaining some weight does not mean your doomed.
Things happen, and now its time to get back on track.
Have faith!
