I ask myself that everyday that people come over. It seems like everytime, somebody's gotta make a run to the store to buy cake and ice cream (for the kids). My mom has been getting alot of visitors after her operation and all we serve is junk. We s…
I definitely have fluctuations. If I weigh daily, I can see a pattern like 132.5, 133.5, 133, 134... like random numbers in a 1-2 pound range all week despite what I've eaten the day before or how much I've worked out. I think it's normal for sure a…
I am confused about normal weight fluctuations while maintaining weight loss. I usually fluctuate between 140-142 lbs. I freak out whenever I go up higher than that ! (actually I have a mini melt down when I am at 142 !) My question is.....what is n…
I understand! Why do we serve food we wouldn't eat? Because that's what everyone does? Because that's what they know?
I just had a BBQ for my parents with: chicken/beef kabobs, sweet potatoe fries, veggie kabobs, pita with olive oil/garlic, fruit.…
I think a good idea would be having different choices. So you could have a cake for dessert but also a fruit salad for people that might want something different. I'm friends with mainly guys and they don't care much about eating healthy, but if we'…
I am half Italian and half Irish. My mother was Italian so most of my food influences came from that side of my heritage. When you came to my house for a family dinner there was more food than necessary. I was raised with the belief that if you came…
I still workout ( circuit training, HIIT and SS cardio, along with hiking and biking on weekends) I still track my calories in a food journal, and I still keep track of my weight. I do allow myself a day now and then (during holidays or get together…

You did amazing on your vacation ! I have maintained now for 5 weeks, and I am just now starting to go to social "food" gatherings. I try to workout before I go and eat light for breakfast. I eat what I want and try not to get into " the last supper…
I totally agree with the "fail to plan, plan to fail" motto! So true!
Good luck with eating what you want and stopping when satisfied! That is something I think we should all strive for! And, have a great 5 day weekend!
As of today, I am off for 5 whole days ! The plan for today was to finally cross something off of my "When I Get Skinny List". I was planning to go to the beach for the day (I live in a lake community) for the first time since I've lived here (2 yrs…

How Do I Do This ????????????
I am half Italian and half Irish. My mother was Italian so most of my food influences came from that side of my heritage. When you came to my house for a family dinner there was more food than necessary. I was raised with the belief that if you came to my home to share a meal, you had to leave feeling stuffed to the gills with all types of rich yummy food plus several different decadent desserts or I haven't done my job as a good hostess !

As of today, I am off for 5 whole days ! The plan for today was to finally cross something off of my "When I Get Skinny List".

It is not supposed to be nice today, but I am still praying that all the weather reports are wrong and that by 10 am it will be perfect ! Think positive !

I Got A New Toy !
Yesterday, after morning of shopping around, I finally got a new bike ! I am so excited ! I've wanted one for a long time. When I first met my husband he was big into mountain biking. He has a beautiful bike, but hasn't ridden now for a long time, I think since we first started dating.
We always talked about wanting to ride the New Englans Rail Trails. Now we can ! We are big hikers, we try to visit different trails every Sunday, now we have biking to add to our weekend activitis.

This morning I weighed in at 139.8 lbs. Today marks one month of maintaining my goal weight of 140 lbs. ! This month has been far from easy. The dieting , unfortunately , was the easy part !

I set a goal of maintaining 140 lbs. with the allowence of a 2 lbs. fluctuation up or down, and I've achieved that for this month.
I've learned a lot this first month. I need to stick to about 1700-1800 calories a day. I've allowed myse… Continue
