Roll call

Here!!

Just joined SparkPeople today. Facing the fact that I have put on 70lbs within the past few years is a tough thing. Have spent the past year cracking jokes about my weight. Going through a recent breakup and now it is time to make some life changes.

Lifted weights yesterday and feel great!!

Good Morning everyone...it's almost the weekend!!

Good morning everyone!

Good afternoon!

I've been MIA for the past few weeks, and finally, today starts a somewhat normal day for me. Finally!

To keep cost of spices, whole grains, oils down, check to see if you have a local bulk food store near you. We have one in Ann Arbor called By The Pound. We buy our CousCous, flours, spices, etc in bulk there and it's half as expensive as the store. Plus you can choose to get smaller amounts, which is great for a budget or if you aren't sure if you like them :) :)

Another way I have learned to get my daughter to eat healthier is by slowly changing the food I give her. She LOVES chicken terriaki. Now we all know how much sodium is in the terriaki sauce! (pardon my spelling). What I started doing is each time lessening the terriaki sauce and adding chicken broth. Now we grill the chicken, put them in the frying pan with a tablespoon of terriaki sauce, cup broth, bring to a simmer, add the broccoli, put on the cover and once the broccoli is cooked it's time to eat. After she eats and compliments the food, I then tell her that I made it Healthier and she's losing weight because she choose healthier foods. It's still hard to get her to eat all the food we eat so I always keep baked chicken in the fridge, pre-cooked frozen nuggets/chicken in the freezer, so if she tries what we made she can say no thank you and make her own. I don't ever punish her over her food choices, but I am in control of what comes in the house. It's just like picking out her clothes - She's free to pick and choose and be in control of what she wears - within limitations. As she gets older that bubble of limitations gets larger so she can make more decisions while we still protect her from really bad ones. Hope that helps!

I am here and ready to go and keep going until we reach our goals !

Spring is showing, not wearing socks in my shoes and have blisters O'plenty.
At least the weather's been nice.
How are you doing?

Hi! Started this in 2008 but have not put any effort into losing weight and am not getting any younger!! :) So starting fresh this year and am ready to go! Checking in on day 1...looking for motivation and support! Thanks!

Checking in on this fine Monday!

Good Morning all, I am new here just checking in. This is my 4th day, haven't lost any weight yet this week but I upped my water intake so I am hoping that most of it is water weight. So far I have lost 59 lbs in 3 1/2 months and gone down 2 sizes in my pants, shirts and bra size. I seem to have hit another plateau this week. Can't wait for the pound to start coming off again.

I'm ready for the week!

Goodmorning....or maybe I should say afternoon! :)
