Hey eveyone, its good to see everyone back here again. I sure wish I could get motivated to lose this weight. What gets you guys motivated for even just a one good day? Also how do you stop the snacking at night? I eat one thing after another. I was like last night don't eat dinner just snack all night, What are your secrets?

Hope everyone has a good weekend. Mary

Hi Mary! I find that eating a dinner full of Protein really helps curb the urge to snack later on... Most dinners all I end up eating is the protein part and not the rest. I have always been a huge evening snacker... Once in a while I will treat myself though, but I always limit the amount... Also, when the urge strikes, try drinking a glass of Water, that might help... Along with just not keeping the bad stuff in the house...

Good Luck! :clap2:

I forgot to tell you my motivation.... My biggest one is being 241 pounds... The lowest weight I have been in 15 years! I will NEVER allow myself to be 282 EVER again.... Everytime that scale ticks down another pound I tell myself that it is another pound that I will NEVER see again... Sometimes I feel like I am in AA/NA and taking it one minute/day at a time. Little successes add up to big successes!

Our bands are not "cures" to being overweght, but tools that assist us in loosing the weight and living healthly lives again! It is not easy, by any means, but you can and will do it!

Well it has been a while since I posted.. I was traveling.. Went to Vegas and Chicago back to back.. I was hard to stay on track.. eatting out day and night.. but I walked my butt off in Vegas and lost my butt in the casinos.. I went to the Dr yesterday..and in the past month I lost 4 pounds.. not bad for eatting out. so I asked for a 1/2 fill.. because I feel like my portions were getting a little bigger.. so yesterday was Clear Liquids and today full liquids. How did we do it for weeks? 2 days is hard..

It has been nice here so I have been doing things outside to keep active.. I also bought a core stability ball to doo things at home..Have no used it yet since it has been nice, I have walked did yard work.. and cleaned my garage..

Good morning Friends

Happy Weekend!

2 of my walk teammates and i just did a 5.5 mile walk! Part of me wankts to lay down on the floor and never walk again but I know that feeling will pass in time!

Christine - glad vegas was a good trip!

Lynn you're so right - little successes do add up!

i don't know if i will make the easter challenge but these last 5 months have been amazing! i'm loving every bit of this new lifestyle.

Happy Sunday friends!

got on the scale to see if i was making any headway to this easter challenge and my scale finally showed a # i hadnt seen yet! Maybe this yoyoness is over!:clap2:

I also bought the yummiest Protein powder! Isofruit Delight. I've tried the sngle packets of the cantalope and loved it.

Went for the big jug and got the green apple. YYUUMMM. 100 calories a scoop and 21 g of protein. it is so nice becuase its not like the think shakes i've had with the myoplex packets. I feel guilty a little since i have a ton of myolplex packets work bought for me and a thing of GNC vanilla that i never opened.

but mmmmmmmmm!

off to figure out how to make no-sew blanets and try to make room for a treadmill my DH doesnt think we have room for :confused:

have a wonderful Sunday!

So the scale finally moved after being stuck for weeks. Yeah!!! I don't think I'll make the Easter Challenge goal, but at least I'm losing something! Hope everyone else makes goal!

Gmorning everyones,

Gratz on all the sucess! Heres my story for the weekend:

I went to visit my friend, she is heavy sized gal- wears a size 26 and used to give meall her old clothes. So I go and visit and this bitch lost weight! I couldnt believe it! Shes in a size 20- and was showing of some new jeans and slaps her ass and says "how you like that? and I didnt even have surgery!"

I almost beet the bitch ass! I couldnt believe she said that! I think she prolly doing something illegal and thats how she lost it. Hopefully she will regain hers back. Heha ~Raynie!

LOL.......Giv'er hell Raynie!

You no it will all come back + more. That's the way it always goes.

She has probably joined the STARVATION NATION! If that's the case,

she'll get tired of that $hit, and on the weight will come.

I keep sayin,,, all in time..

Memorial Day IS the next holdiay...I can't believe this year is going so fast!

Losingjusme you are SO close to onederland!! I am so proud of you.

Raynie that sucks that your "friend" threw her weight loss in your face like that. Not cool.

Cmon raynie: Remember all good things come in time. I no it sounds like bull!,,butttt,,,, it's very true. Give yourself a chance and some time., and yes you will see a diference. We all didn't do this for nothing!Even me, I went out the other day and got a new dew..No more perm for me "curls" my hair is straite, short, and some cute cuts in the front they look like small spikes comeing down and around my forehead.It's cute! don't think I lost any weight, but, changed my look. what ever works for this old lady "$hiiittt"LOL. So get it together, do what you wanna do. and don't worry about some body else. easy off is easy back on.
