I started the southbeach diet about 10 days ago and I can feel the difference in my pants. I have not weighed myself, because I do not have a scale, I need to get to my SIL house, she has one. I have had a few hard times, like when my hubby insisted on pizza last weekend! I did okay though, I ate 1 peice on thin crispy crust and then I got up and ate a salad, then I grabbed another peice but I just ate the toppings and they were mostly vegetables and ham, but no pepperoni and no sausage or anything like that! I have been to fast food 2-3 times since I started and ate a salad with grilled chicken and low cal, low fat dressings. When I'm at home and controlling things I do pretty well, and I've discovered if I start cooking early, long before my hubby has a chance to suggest eating out that he has no choice but to eat what has been cooked. So, I've been starting to make dinner around 4:30 everyday! Or I find a crockpot meal that is SB friendly and that works too! I like to make chicken or lean beef roast in our Southwestern seasoning, garlic, and more chili powder, and water and cook it all day and then make me a taco salad and the rest of my family can have tacos or a burrito!
Works out well for me!:thumbup: Good luck everyone :balloon:

Treadmills vary greatly in price depending on what kinds of "bells & whistles" you want. I got a fairly basic electric treadmill at Wal-mart for just over $200 last year.

I'm on sparkpeople also (heyfield). Let me know when our group is set up and what name we're using. Thanks!

Hubby and I just discussed how I can buy a treadmill up here, since we don't have stores like Wal-Mart up here. There's only one in the gym that we have. I'm really wanting to get on one and walk a lot, but losing weight isn't my priority right now since I'm still preggo. After this baby is born, no more excuses for being big!

A solution might be a video series called "Walk Away the Pounds" by Leslie Sansone. I don't like walking outside, and treadmills bore me to tears. I found a set of her videos off of an informercial years ago, and I still use them. I see them in stores all the time, and I know I see them on Ebay as well.

Her old program had a 1, 2 or 3 mile "walk", but I have seen a 5 mile video as well. She really works your lower body, and also your upper body. I'm sweating like a stuck pig at the end of the 3 mile.

She's a Christian, and also has some videos that are overtly Christian in nature and music, but I haven't used one of those yet.

Her videos are the only one's I've ever purchased that I actually use, because they are fun, there is a variety, it works upper and lower body, and I don't get bored!

Good luck with whatever you choose!

I just signed up for the "Biggest Loser Million Pound Match-up". Might as well be rewarded for trying to get into shape. Check out my site: http://timandjosee.spaces.live.com or go to biggestloser.msn.com to sign up. The contest chooses five winners to go to California & one pair of people will win personal trainers for a year!

If you visit my site, sign my guest book & leave us a motivational message. It's a hard road & we could use the support from fellow chefs.

Thanks, I'll look into that. I know we'll eventually get a treadmill anyway because I married the "track star" and the man has to run. It's so snowy here he wants to be able to use it during the winter months.

I made a new years resaloution to stop drinking soda... I have lost 5 pounds since new years..... I am almost down three pant sizes too!!!
Any weight loss is better than none !!!!

Right! A loss is a loss is a loss I say!

I have had a bad week.... just need more raw veggies but can't drive. *sigh*. Ok, will be good for the rest of the day. I'm finding hot tea, and frozen (not dipped) bananas are helping me.

I am starting weight watchers tonight...... I need the motivation for the last 50lbs that I want to loose......... But I have slowly started to messure my portion size when I make lunch or breakfast or dinner.. But I also am doing it for my DD and DH at the same time. If I am going to do it we are all going to eat healthy

 

[mommyhugz1978]

I started weight watchers last night and I have been doing a lot of weight loss on my own. And since December of last year I have lost 9 lbs.... jsut want to share with everyone

 

[lockhartkitchen]

I'll join all of you too. Since age 30 the pounds have added on. It wasn't until I started to see myself in photos that I said, "I'm fat". I dont' want to see myself that way anymore. I'm 5"1 and should not be more than 130 pounds for my body frame. I'm a lot more than that. I'm joining the gym in town where they have the biggest loser contest. $2000 for the winner. Good incentive for me. I'm going to do it this year. I want to walk across stage at leadership next year in my size 5 dress. I weigh in on Jan.29 and have my pictures taken. It's going to take daily hour exercise and cut the regular pop. Other than that, I eat healthy. A lack of exercise has caused my weight gain.

 

[lockhartkitchen]

I'm going to "the biggest Loser" at the gym tomorrow. I'm joining a 16 week program. I'm really going to do it this time. I'm going to go to National 40 pounds lighter.

Hey everyone. Did everyone go to sparkpeople? How do I find you?

 

[1upland]

What does DH mean,does it mean "dear husband"?....I'm guessing
