I guess that stuff did go on that permanent record they talk about whenI was in catholic school.

Marie,

To start, it's good to choose a plan you can stick with. Something

that doesn't limit your calorie intake too severely, but still cuts

back enough so your Kcal intake is less than your expenditure.

So, do some research and tell us what you decide.

Welcome!

Keep the faith ! Your wife might think that you don't want a quilt, tell her you do!

Try deep breathing exercises, that may help prevent the panic attacks,

Oxygen and Women's Health are two I like. I also like Fitness RX (it

is a quarterly mag). I was disappointed to hear about Muscle and

Fitness Hers, too - but they are going to try to make Mucsle and

Fitness a unisex magazine. We'll see how that goes....I looked at las

months' but didnt like it much. They are still going to come out with

Muscle and Fitness Hers special editions so I'll keep my eye out for

those!!!

Welcome Back....I have a Sweet Potato recipe for you....

Sweet Potato Pancakes

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup Mashed Sweet Potatoes (Cooled) 1 Egg white (Lightly Beaten)

3/4 Cup Skim Milk

3/4 Cup Whole Wheat Flour

1/2 Tsp Baking Powder

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, combine sweet potatoes, egg white and milk. Beat

until blended. Add the flour and the baking powder. Stir until smooth

2. Lightly coat a pan or griddle with Pam and heat stovetop to medium

3. Pour mix and cook until top of pancake is covered with tiny bubbles

and bottom is golden brown. Turn and cook other side.

Nutritional Facts (Using Lactaid Fat Free Milk):

Total Calories: 439

Makes 4 pancakes

Fat: 3g

Carb: 91 (77 Net)

Also....try Neutrogena Micro Mist Sunless Tanner, it is wonderful you

spray it on, your hands never touch it. I used it yesterday, and I have

to say you get a half-decent tan. I have used others and they can be a

pain in the butt! Don't forget to exfoliate before using them....you get

a smoother, even tan.

Hope this helps!!

I've tried a couple of times to " wing it " - it's just too hard to stick

to it that way. Maybe it's me, but I *need* the planning - it's totally

worth it, though

There must be a reason so many of us are feeling worse right now. I don't know if it's the heat or just depression. Hope everyone see's an improvement soon.

I know one thing for sure ... you HAVE to get into a

whole new mindset. You have to be tough with yourself

when it comes to eating stuff you know is going to put

weight on ya. I'd strongly suggest meditation but I

know with little kids that would be super hard, all I

can say is you know what you have to do, now find the

discipline within YOU to get it done. Take every day

as it comes and try to make tomorrow better. Good

luck I know you can do it!

Thanks that is a good idea to meditate or at least try. I lost

weight a long time ago and kept it off for awhile but then I gained

it back again. I am so depressed at where I am now.

Welcome Kim. I to hate exercise.

Hey Kathy How are you? Welcome back. Surgery is a big step. I dont know how much you have to lose BUT in WW and any program take it in babysteps goals. Example I am 226 right now so my goal is 199 which is almost 10%. So take your weight and what is 10% and work on that now. House cleaning is calories. It is not sitting down. Since my kids are in school fulltime now I have been spiraling downwards. I am examining it and trying to make changes. Try flylady.net if you want some great cleaning tips to getting a routine going. Rule in my house is after school FRUIT only. I occasionally will consider applesauce fruit. On fridays they get Friday after school snack. They work hard all week and they get a treat. I usually do those little pies, debbie snack, pudding, something sweet. They so look forward to it. Make the M-TH not so bad. I buy individual ones so there are no leftovers. Dont forget portions, water, and exercise in any program.
