Who's Trying to Lose Weight?

[bakechef]

well folks, i fell off the wagon big time, yesterday. chinese food, chocolate covered strawberries. then for dinner, an eight oz lobster tail dipped in melted butter. however the scale says no harm no foul. so i am back at it today. it was a wonderful mothers day though. my son gave me two tails for mother's day. my daughter brought the chinese and i made the berries. the strawberries were the best i have seen in many years. red and good even in the middle.

You didn't fall off the wagon! You had one of those "that's life" kinda days. one day of indulgence here and there will help keep you sane and won't hurt your progress! Gotta allow life to happen!

Oh no! That doesn't even count!!! Any meals shared with Great Grandkids does not contain calories...

Just keep going. The pounds will fall off if you stick with it. Ya gotta believe

maybe you're not ingesting enough, babe, & your metabolism is fixing things for you by compensating by itself. lemme tell 'ya, too few calories generally works less than ingesting a reasonable, -yet restricted-, diet

Lifting weights can help increase your metabolism. Pick up some 3-5 # dumbbells or just use some large soup cans for the weights. Lift over your head, up & down or side to side. Good luck with it. Hope this helps.

And weights are good for bone density. A big consideration for me.

I just joined the forum yesterday. I have been trying to lose my last 6 pounds for about 6 months now. A year ago I made the change to get healthy and all and I lost 35 pounds. My goal weight is only 6 pounds away! I was within two pounds in January this year, but gained back 4 since then. Its so hard to be so close!

i am getting very discouraged with my diet. am beginning to think i will just stay at this weight. not just yet. want to dry exercise on my recumbent bike first.
