The best advice I can give you is to use this web site everyday while you are in this transitional period.....also use your own god given brain.....log every calorie down and just do the math....water, and exercise will do the rest....good luck you seem like a sharp pup!

I say everyone gave you spot on advice....just do it!

As long as it is toasted, I don't have a problem with bread.....I love sourdough,and rye bread...yum,yum....Also sourdough muffins!

o.k. I agree with you to an extent.......I can easily loose weight between 1616 and 1856 so depending on your size( I say use the calorie calculator) find out really what your age, body, weight...to loose weight there are a lot of variables!

are you out of your mind?

A-MEN sista!

it's plain ole eating too fast and not chewing.....you eat the same way for years and years, and you are not going to correct it over night....bottom line!

Girl I got your back on that one......what the heck you want to be fat as opposed to yacking up a little food....where are your priorities....and do you live in 2011?

The first pizza I had was a round table single serve (it was yummy) As for spaghetti, having it tonight, but made with ground turkey and useing whole wheat penne......gosh I love food!:wub:

Well I have been at 202 for over a month now! I have been exercising...walking 3.5 miles every day, and eating between 1200 and 1400 calories.....I just cAN'T SEEM TO GET TO ONEDERLAND! Well I might have to go on liqueds or something stupid like that. I did not do very well on liqueds before, maybe for a week though! I will say my body has been really shifting around and I have gone down 2 sizes, but I WANT ONDERLAND:(

O.K. I have the best news for you all.....tonight I took my blood pressure and believe it or not it was.....DRUM ROLL PLEASE...142/83!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe it? I am sooooooooooooooooo happy I just had to shout it from the roof top, and here is where I came, because no one but you all would understand how exciting that is! Thank you for your time..Peace out and party on!

I have to agree, the inches are impressive! I just now fit into the first medium (a pair of shorts) in I would guess 17 years or so. It really is inspiring, to stay on track! They are T-shirt materiel, but then I tried a non strechy fabric, and I was a large......still I'm sitting here in those mediums! Haha Even funnier, yesterday without thinking I cut the tag out cause it was bothering me.....By the time I thought "hey I should have saved that tag and had it bronzed!" The trash was gone, in the dumpster! Oh well! everyone stay in touch!

I drink budwiser 55........only 55 calories per beer......me loves them! I have not found anything I can not drink! On that note, it's happy hour time and a vodka with peach snapple (0) cal is in order! Peace out and party on!

Jen those are some really good ideas for articles!!!!!

Well countrygirl.....I still have to journal everything, to keep me on track! When I did not journal, my weight loss slowed down, but then I also did not exercise for two months. My body however was still changing and went down a couple of sizes. I am back on track and exercising every day. I walk for an hour in the mornings....now I notice changes are happening even faster! I eat about 1200-1500 calories a day. 40 more pounds to goal..I will keep journaling till I reach it, it really keeps me accountable! Good luck on getting back on track! Remember: protien, protien, protien, and water, water,water and exercise, exercise, exercise!

Hey Sistersue, I am right on your page......I live in a really small town too, and know everyone! I also want overweight people to feel free to ask me anything about it they want too.

I am the same exact way I will talk to anyone, and tell any thing they want to know.....It does keep you accountable when everyone knows! Being down 60 pounds, everyone is really noticing and gotta say it feels great.....but they also see me hitting the pavement every day 45-60 minutes a day, and I really think that is the key! No one would say anything to my face, their too scared...and I don't really care what they say behind my back....I mean really don't they have anything better to talk about than me? Poor, poor people! Just kidding, but not really...hahaha

I have been on a platue forever! But, I have gone down about 2 sizes.....I Just this week lost 2 pounds finally, it seems my platue lasted over a month! But all the clothes that were just a little too tight now fit perfect, and I can almost wear a tight fitting shirt without any jelly roll!:Banane04:

I am at 203.......I can't wait till I hit onederland! I have not seen that for over a good 10 years! Good luck all!

I love, love, love sushi and it would be my preferred type of food to eat if I go out. Alas that doesn't happen often....but when I do eat it I'm in heaven!

Is the weight just falling off you? Oh I'm so jealous! Ha ha JK.....but I am happy for you!

Well, I started at 262......size 22 (ouch) I am 5'9", and now at 200 I fit into 15 juniors LEI brand from wall-mart and a 14 misses just doesn't fit right......at the end of the day I want to fit into a size 9 and wear a meduim top.........O.K. I may be happy with a 10, but I really want a 9. You know that is a single digit size.:Banane04:
