I lost more weight!!

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.

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.

What I'm doing must be working. I weighed myself today and I weigh 227 lbs. That's down from 238 lbs. YEAH FOR ME!!!!!

Wow Janet,
Keep up the hard work!!! Just don't starve yourself. Make sure you get a good breakfast! You're working so hard and it's paying off. You must be so proud of yourself!

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.

As of this morning, 2 more lbs are gone. Now at 224. I know I should only weigh once a week instead of boring you all every couple days, but I need to make sure the lbs are going down and not up. I want this so bad.... my first goal is to break 200 lbs. Then I'll set another.
