It's noon and I'm still in my night-gown.  I feel fuzzy-headed and so
dumpy that I can't believe my size 14's still fit.  I'm scared to
weigh-in: I can see the pockets of fat that grew.  It was a week of
heavy drinking and less exercise than I'd expected.

Today is the six month anniversary of my current diet and I am well pleased.
I've lost nearly 70 pounds and have gone from "obese" (BMI of 33.5) to
"normal" (BMI of 24.8).
In the 26 weeks I've only had 4 weekly gains, and enjoyed one stretch of 11

After the second round of poison ivy and prednisone medication for the
season I'm happy to say my weight is back at 148.  Maybe now I can see some
real results from going back to the WW at work sessions.  I had been down a
couple pounds but gained a few while on the medication.  My ...

Well, actually I've been home since Friday evening.  But this is the first
time I've felt like posting to the group.  I haven't gained any weight or
have anything in particular to bitch about.  I'm just very, very preoccupied
with getting ready for the move.  We found a wonderful ...

Well, tomorrow starts my 2 week business trip.  I think I am going to take a
little advice from Rachael Ray of the Food Network and try ordering half
size meals.  I will see how many of the restaraunts offer it.
Wish me luck!

Just had to share this little goal. My wife, our son, & I live on a corner lot and the yard is a city lot & 1/2. Our grass takes up a good portion of the lot and is a bear to mow(we have only a power mower, no riding...sometime I wish...). Years past I could only do about 1/2 and ...

Anybody experience a situation where you stopped loosing weight after
about 4 or 5 days on the South Beach diet?   Lost a lot in the
beginning and then leveled off.  Been holding steady for 4 or 5 days
now.  Not gaining, but not loosing.   Do you go down in "steps"?

I am new to these boards, and this site. I am a size 30 female, and I have
a problem that I am hoping someone can help me with. It is a delicate issue
and I am very imbarrased to ask but I have got desperate so I have to. I am
having a problem with reaching to wipe after a BM. My ...

It has been a long time since I have been on this newsgroup. I need to get
back to being much healthier. I have gained weight since I haven't had the
time to deal with much except helping my dad deal with a brain tumor. He has
since died and I need to get back to dealing with myself ...

So, yesterday was the two-year anniversary of my starting my new
WOE/WOL.  It doesn't seem that long, somehow, but I'm very pleased
with the result.
I've only been in maintenance mode for about 3 weeks, so am hardly in

Hi all --
I was so upset Monday with my weight of 160.25 at the nutritionist that I thought I
would try weighing again later this week when I felt more "unsalted" :-) -- so I
stopped in this morning after my workout. I was glad that the doctor weighed me

Hi everyone --
Thanks so much to everyone who made such nice comments on the photos I posted
yesterday. I really needed to get that support after seeing the results of my last
nutritionist's visit.

Is this possible? I am not sure yet which is the culprit but when I have coffee
(usually with splenda syrups) I have a crash similar to someone coming off
cocaine! I get sick, heart palps, dizzy, aggressive, emotional....I used to
drink coffee all the time!! I still drink caffinated ...

Can anyone suggest a low carb cocoa that I might be able to get hold of in
Australia.  I'm a diabetic chocoholic which is an unfortunate combination!
Thanks for any help
