They aren't "low" in points, but almonds are my comfort food. I buy the 1 oz packages at Trader Joe's - I think you get about 35 x 1 oz packs for about $5. The amount doesn't seem like much, but in 15 minutes I have a nice full feeling - and I am eating good fat. :-)

I also like the Quaker Oatmeal Squares bars. About 250 calories, but they're like a meal.

Not really happy with my "progress"....... :mad:

I stepped on a scale today for the first time since I got home from California back on July 10 and I've lost 15 lbs. I can't afford that.

These last few weeks have been sort of tough for me but I didn't realize I was dropping weight like I am. For some reason in all of the trips to the doctor I've made recently, not once did they weigh me. :shrug:

I honestly don't know what to do. Believe me I've tried lots of things. :(

Osuche I usually snack on a couple almonds while making dinner.

Steroids= weight gain usually Iowaman.


I am crashing and burning this week. I am needing to get a schedule going.

I'm stalled agin - but life has been stressful so I am giving myself a break.

Those 100 calorie pack of mini grasshopper cookies...




crack.

I can sure relate to fzzzy when she said she fights the same pounds over and over again. :( Never fails, I'll be doing good, then along comes a night out or a visit to our kids and the diet goes **poof**. :(

I'm not even going to try to stay on the diet this weekend.

I did horribly this past week .... visiting the hut strikes again .... tomorrow is another day though and I intend to get myself back on track ...If I do it now, then it won't take too long to get back into making progress mode again.

Weight issues suck though ... whether the problem is gaining or losing, it's always a pain!!!! :( But hope you all are having positive moments again as soon as possible!!! xoxox

Anybody ever take a Zumba class?

Nope...I've now Googled it though ;)

Like Lil, I am looking for new alternatives - I stopped going to the gym for a week when I was in Ohio and ate bad food and I LOST weight. Clearly, I am doing something wrong. :rofl:

Seriously...today is my day to get back on track.

Well, I don't know that it's really anything to be too excited about or not but when my specialist weighed me today I was only 10 lbs. lighter than I was at this time a year ago. About four weeks ago I was 17 lbs. lighter. Baby steps I guess.

:bump:


I've been slipping over the past month and I've gained 5 lbs. Yesterday was my first "commitment day" to being healthier.

I'm also considering buying Alli, the weight loss drug. I want to see if it might help me springboard my weight loss - I've been stagnant for months, and now I am creeping up.

Has anyone tried it?

:bump:

I've gained 5 lbs. and I am looking for a little Holiday inspiration. Does anyone have any words of wisdom, or something that's working for them right now?

We are doing Biggest Loser at my school. We pay into a pot on Monday and whoever has lost the most by the next Monday takes it.

I'd dropped about 31 pounds ... but think I've picked up a couple of those again. Gotta watch the snacking. :(
