I lost more weight!!

[DianaB]

That's great!!!! Eight pounds is alot! Have you tried picking up 8 lbs of sugar at the grocery store?! Way to go! As soon as I get done with this job I'm going to get more serious about losing weight too. They keep bringing in doughnuts and my will power is very low when it comes to doughnuts. I keep telling my self "NO" but it doesn't always work!

Janet , first I want to say great job I myself have lost about 4lbs. and I have joined a gym and eat healthier. I had posted about the weight control oatmeal that Cindy posted. I like the banana nut. It is great they have all flavors, I mentioned in the other post that my dr. said do not microwave the water, boil it , if not it loses all the nutirents. I try to eat oatmeal every other day, for my total chosterol is a little high and he told me that eating oatmeal helps reduce it. When I eat the oatmeal it does fill me up until lunch and sometime even later. If I can help you with any questions, pm me ..

I don't know if you have aol broadband but this thread about watching your weight was on earlier. I saved it, read it through it gives great dieting tips and it allows us chocolate lovers to have sweets. Hope I posted correctly..

Yes I saw the thread about boiling the water. I think the oatmeal tastes bad with water, so I've been using 2% milk (on the stove). It does stay with you longer that's for sure, don't feel near as hungry at lunch like I did.

Janet, I put milk in it to , its does fill you up, and did you read the thread I posted above?. It is very good check it out.

[Janet]

Gina that is a great link you posted! Thank you! I saved it in my favorites so I can look at it anytime. Some really good information.

Janet - that is awesome about your weight loss. I havent been as diciplined with my healthier living styles as i should be. I need to surely get back on track.

I asked my friend to join Weight Watches with me but she said she wasn't ready for that sort of commitment yet. Bummer...I didn't want to do it alone.

Thanks Sheryl, I must really want to lose it this time, because I have been doing really good. The only thing I am doing is no white stuff, limit even my whole grain bread, simple servings (so I can at least have a bite or two of everything), no bigger than palm size of meat, drinking lots of water. Making sure I eat 3 meals a day at approx. the same time (so I don't get the starved feeling) and as suggested in an earlier post, having a snack between meals. Usually an apple, banana, rice cake or a WW cake. I don't eat anything after 7:00 PM. Just water. So far it's been working. The first day or two I was sooo hungry, but I just kept drinking the water. Now, I don't have that feeling. It's pretty nice! I just pray everynight that I can do the same thing tomorrow.

I think the hardest thing about losing weight is I want to lose it TODAY!! It's hard waiting for results, but I can tell my stomach as shrunk some. It feels tighter or something. Wish it looked like it feels...LOL

Now if I can just get my big butt on the treadmill I know I will be able to tell a difference a lot sooner. I just haven't gotten there yet. I keep telling myself....one day at a time.....one day at a time.

Don't worry, I am eating everything I like except for the white stuff and pop and I did cut out all the sweets except for WW cakes. I eat one of them a day to curb my chock cravings. I eat a good healthy breakfast too. I'm just eating normal size helpings and then stop. I've also been drinking a lot of water.

I'm still losing...so far. This morning I'm at 226 lbs, down from 238 lbs. I stayed at 227 for a few days, but just kept doing what I'm doing and this morning it was 226.

I have been eating oatmeal, never liked it much, but since it's suppose to be good for you I thought I would force myself. I just can eat more than half a bowl. I just don't like it, no matter how hard I try. I tried eating like a scrambled egg one day and then oatmeal the next, and then something else the next day. I just don't like this stuff. I will continue to try and eat it, but YUK!! I just hate wasting money.
