Hi Judy,
Well, I was reading your weekend posts, and saw the comment about being pre-diabetic. To me, that would be a little scary. I have quite a few in my family tree who are diabetic......that was another of my reasons for learning to eat healthy and get this weight off. I have a first cousin who is diabetic and it has been out of control for years, but she can't figure out why. Well, whenever I see her eat, I think I know why! At get-togethers, be they for family or church or whatever, she always brings high carb food and loads her plate with high carb food. You see lots of breads, rice dishes, chips, etc. Very few veggies........and she'll be snitching caramels etc. She always has lots of candy and chips if you visit her house. And I wonder why she even keeps those things around? And she never exercises! I hate seeing what she is doing to herself. She's now at the point of controlling it with insulin.
Therefore, Judy, I am going to make a comment about the amount of breads, cereals, and rice I see in your recent meals. And also the lack of veggies . I know that the average person isn't going to set a goal of 1 pound of raw veggies and 1 pound of cooked veggies a day, like I do..........but they are so nutritious, do so much for fighting disease, and have so low calories! You can eat a bunch of them and fill up because of all the fiber, and still keep your calorie count low. Heaven knows, I'm not the perfect eater to give anyone advice........but I sure don't want you having to rely on a pill or needle someday!
I am so glad that you are trying to lose weight and that you are able to exercise at Curves. That should be so good at preventing diabetes from becoming a part of your life:D Keep up the good work (just watch those carbs!) (remember that little tip from my chiro about having protein with each meal---it helps keep your blood sugar on an even keel, instead of the spikes that high carb foods give you) Pat

Hi Pat,
No, but it could last until September, it will just take some adjusting to and then I will be ok. My workouts are now in the afternoons though and not in the am.
Haven't figured out my food yet today, will log on tomorrow with all my info.
Have a great one.
Bed time.

Hi Judy!
I guess you could look on the bright side of the work hours change....you should be off work earlier, during the spring/summer months when it is so nice out at night. (Will it be dark by the time you want to go to bed?)
I am going to do my weigh and measure at Curves next week. They told me to try to have the same person do it each time. I didn't think it could make that much difference....so the first 2 times I had it done, I had different ladies do it. Guess what? They were really different from the one who originally did mine. She is gone now for a nephew's wedding, so will wait until next Tues or Wed. when she is working again.
I was down a pound this morning. I was kind of scared to get on the scale, because I didn't want to be disappointed. After being so strict and disciplined for 7 weeks, I've let go a little bit and I was afraid of what would happen. Seems like the last week has been one reason after another to stretch the limits of my plan. But, I can still tell it on my looser clothes. The only time my pants really look OK is right after I wash them....then they bag. What a great feeling!
You know what has been the most exciting thing for me about Curves? Losing the inches and toning up. I wore a dress for Easter, that I bought 2 years ago on a sale rack. I'd never worn it, because it was snug. But, I still weigh a few pounds more now than I did then, and it almost looks too big on me.:D I have lost so many inches from going to Curves...and something like that dress, makes me appreciate what it's doing for me (or what I am doing for myself!) Also, I love looking down at my arms and seeing the definition there, instead of hanging skin! They don't look like a body builder's arms, just a little muscle showing. It's such a rush:)
Here's to you and that "rush" to come! Have a great week!  Pat

Hi All,
Haven't been on much, it is kind of hard getting up at 330am to go to work, I am always ready to go to bed when I come home. Hopefully next week will be better.
6lb weight loss in one week. Weighed myself on the curves scale on Wed. WOW down 6 lbs.
I haven't done my meals yet today, really have been bad about keeping track, but seems like I am about 30% Protein, 20% fat, and 50% carbs when I average them all out. I am right around 1300 to 1500 calories a day.
Still no coca colas or any pop.
I am thinking about trying the Curves 6 week diet plan, see how that goes, it looks very doable.
Talk with you later
Judy :)

Hi All,
Thought I would check in, it has been a while, and hopefully things will get back to normal within a week or two...............lots of stressful things and migranes and asthma really kicking in, haven't been keeping my food diary and haven't even been able to work out since Saturday............really really miss that. Hopefully by the end of the week, I will be able to work out again.
See you all later.
Judy :)

Judy,
Glad to see you back. I was wondering how you were. Sorry to hear it's been such a tough week. It's a vicious circle isn't it? If you don't feel good and your asthma gives you trouble, you can't exercise and don't feel like keeping your food journal. If you don't exercise and keep a food journal, you won't lose weight and reduce the asthma symptoms.
Isn't amazing how our health affects everything in our lives? Do the re-occurance of health issues have anything to do with the new work hours? Or lack of sleep, due to the new work hours?
Just remember....you need to get the weight off for your health! Here's praying it will be a better week......one day at a time. Hang in there You can do this:D I am going to the source of all our strength, for you, in prayer. Hisgal Pat

Hi All, :)
I am back  , doing much better, have been sitting in a dark room for quite some time now. I had ulcers on my cornea's, second time in my life and not a fun thing. But, I am back, and the last month, I have gained 2 lbs back, not being able to work out and with all the physical stuff and some personal problems that added stress I didn't hold up to well and just ate what ever I felt like. Started back at curves today, and tomorrow I will start back on watching what I eat, and get on a schedule again. Work is back to 800am to 430pm so that helps to get back on schedule, but we may be taking on some temporary raising of my 3 very small granddaughters, can find out as soon as tomorrow. That should help put my life back into prespective and make me work with a schedule again. I got lax on staying with a schedule once my boys got oldder.
Well, I am going to go, just wanted to say hi to everyone and let you know that...........I AM BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good Luck All!
Judy

Welcome back, Judy
I wondered what had happened to you, and prayed it was something temporary, and that you'd be back. Sorry to hear about your problems......but so glad to hear you are ready to get back at it and start over.
You have been my inspiration every time I want to grab a diet soda:) Thanks so much for helping to keep me strong. I know it's just one little thing, but it makes me feel like I am still in control when I don't have a good day of eating. And it helps me get back at it with a new day or the next meal.
Glad to hear your work schedule got back to normal. That should help things immensely. I know when I work long days in Jan-March, I feel like I don't have a life. Nothing is on a schedule...I'm trying to work in the things that need to be done. It's a crazy time and I love to see it end and get back to normal.
My prayers with you...sounds like you've got some challenges coming up.

Hi All,
Thank you Pat, glad to be back. Didn't keep track today, I must remember to carry a booklet with me, so I can write everything down that I eat.
I ate 1 cup of oatmeal and 1 cup of skim milk for breakfast and 1 small banana
1/2 cup of fruit cocktail for snack
1 bag of raisenettes
Lunch 1 salad made w/lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, 3 black olives, w/fat free salad dressing about 1 tsp maybe 2. 4 green olives, 1 fat free yoplait yogurt.
1/2 cup of fruit cocktail for snack
1 pb cookie
1 banana
2 slices of DiGiorno pizza, 3 meat and 1 cup of milk.
Calories 1808, Protien 14%, Fat 28%, Carbs 58%, Fiber 19.6 grams, and Sodium 2,544 grams.
That is about what I had today...........tomorrow, I work out again, and a much better day it will be.

I never go anywhere without my notebook! Is that obsessive? Anyway, having had so many years of experience with dieting, I know that, for me, the only way I can lose the weight is to be religious about writing down everything that goes in my mouth. Since Feb. 27, there have been very few days that I haven't written everything down. I can hardly believe that! However, it has gotten me from 186.5 lbs to 164.2 lbs.:P And that's how I got from 249 to 157 three years ago. If it went in my mouth, it HAD TO go down on paper. It's my crutch that keeps me going! Tomorrow morning is breakfast with my high school girlfriends (most of whom have absolutely no weight problem ) We are going to Perkins and I am going to have a denver omlette w/fruit and a side of hash browns. From what I've found, that should be 335 cal. 24.5 protein 9 fat
Keep me in your prayers, that I stick with my intentions, and then survive the benefit party for my cousin (house burned this winter and they lost everything), a going away potluck for our parochial school's Principal, and 2 graduation parties. What a weekend of challenges My prayers for you, Pat

Hi Judy,
Welcome back! Hope you can get back on the wagon easier than I can when I'm off for a bit. I struggle to get off the wheat and sugar first, then I work on improving my choices, then I work on cutting back on portions. Rite now I'm just off the wheat and sugar, eating well and heading for portion control.
I sometimes have an eyeball problem from too much puter time, too. It gets like a musle spasm in my eyeball (not the lids) and makes the world tilt over and over. Weird and extremely annoying. Been going on for years off and on.
What are the symptoms of ulcers in the cornea?

Hi CC,
Thank you for the welcome back, my biggest problem is that I have to program myself to write down what I eat everyday. The exercise part is ok and what I eat has never been ok yet, so that I am still working on.
Well ulcers on the corneas are very painful, if you have ever had pink eye, with the draining itchy watery dry sanding feeling, well ulcers feel and act like that, only a thousand times worse. They also swell up and that causes even more problems and the lids of the eyes get very irrated too..........so all the way around extremely painful, much better with a cold wet cloth on them even ice packs in a dark room, only time it is pain free is when you are sleeping. even a small amount of light is awful on them. They are getting much better though. Have found that they hardly hurt at all till about 9pm.
Well, I have worked out last Wed, and Friday, and also Yesterday and today at curves, will go back again tomorrow. I was weighed and measured last Wed and since I started going on 4/19, they actually showed a weight loss of 7 lbs and 4 inches, wow I am impressed.
Well, I am heading out to walmart, need to get something to keep my food diary in and why I eat what I eat. See if I can shed some light on my subject.
See you all later.
Judy :)

Yeah, Judy!!!
Oooooh, that's great about the weight and inches loss!!! Doesn't it feel good? Just think what it will be next time, if you get that notebook and really watch what you eat!
I just love seeing the definition in my arms and legs. They used to be blobs, and now I see muscle! And all for 30 minutes a day:D I've been going to Curves 4-5 times a week for the last couple of months (before that it was only 3 times a week). Then, unless it's bad weather, I go down to the park, on the walking trail and do a couple of laps. It feels so good to know I'm doing something just for ME! Seems like I'm always busy doing stuff for everybody else, but this is just for my health!
Way to go! HisgalPat

Hi All,
Well, I am back, and accountable. Won't list what I ate today, but started out really well and then went downhill after lunch time.
total calories 2194.5, protien 15%, fat 32%, carb 5%, fiber 36.2 grams, sodium 3019.6 mg.
OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Can't decide if I was a cow today or a pig.
Tomorrow will be a better day. I did go to curves today and yesterday also, went 4 times last week. Have been walking on my 15 min. breaks at work. So that is all good.
Next week I am going to try the diet plan that they have at curves and see if it helps get my metabo going, cause it is for #%@&!. I put on weight from just drinking water. Ha Ha.
Good Luck All
Judy :)

Judy,
So glad you are back. I had decided tonight that if I got time to sit down at the computer tonight, I was going to write you a message and see how you were doing.
Evenings used to be my downfall too. I think my trick is to not have the bad stuff in the house. I don't have a problem leaving my hubby's cookies, bars etc alone, as long as I have my own "treat". I've found a few things that will satisfy me, right now it's single serve 94% fat free popcorn bags (100 cal. 2 g fat), the sugar free jello with fat free Cool Whip, baked tortilla chips (yeah, I know, they are processed, but they do the trick) with salsa, and a variety of frozen low fat "ice cream" type treats. They have gotten me through. Oh, when I'm really having a carb craving, I have a whole wheat, fat free pita with fat free cream cheese and no sugar added orange marmalade. That's especially helpful when we don't eat dinner right away. It has enough protein and fiber to take the edge off. Sometimes I use it as an evening snack too.
When I met my high school girlfriends a week or so ago, there was one there who was actually my college roommate. She is only about 5'2"-5'3". A few years ago, I remember her telling me that her blood pressure was high, and she was going on medication. And her cholesterol was high, and her doctor wanted to put her on meds for that too. And I just had this empty helpless feeling in the pit of my stomach. I knew that if she just lost some of her weight, that she could avoid stressing her body with those drugs. Now, she is an RN (we were both in nurses training when we were roommates) and should know better. But, although I talked to her about it, I knew she wouldn't lose the weight until she was ready. But, it hurt me to see her like that. And the reason it hurt is because I'd been there. I remember all too well how I felt at 250 pounds and I know how much better I feel now. There is just no comparison! At that breakfast, I thought she looked thinner, but hated to ask. She volunteered the info that she'd lost 50 pounds. Now, 50 pounds is a lot of weight, but she had gotten heavy enough over the years, that I couldn't tell for sure, that she'd lost weight! But, I just about cried with happiness when she told me.
One thing I've found, since I lost this weight, is that knowing how good I feel physically and emotionally, I just want this SO BADLY for everyone who is overweight. I know we've never met, and that I haven't known you online for very long, but I sit here with tears in my eyes when I write this. And it's because I especially want this so badly for you, too. You've told me that your asthma should improve with the weight loss. And I know you'd feel so good as it drops off.
I have been praying for you, and I want you to succeed. Think about your name on this site....it's a positive one. Soontobeme.....that's what I want for you. I tried a lot of different plans on my weight loss journey, and each one gave me the boost I needed to keep going and not give up. And I learned something from each plan I tried. I think they helped get me to the point I am today. I pray with all my that the Curves plan is that boost for you You just need to string some really good days together to get on a roll and get that scale dropping. That is such a heady feeling, that it makes each day easier to stick with it.... Don't forget to pray for yourself too. That is mostly what kept me going and gave me the strength. I just admitted that I couldn't do it on my own, and I needed God for strength and guidance. Peter needs some emoticons with tears....because they are running down my cheeks as I write to you. I want you to grow through this process and succeed beyond your wildest dreams My prayers with you always. Pat

Hi Pat,
Thank you for all the words of encouragement and for caring and all the prayers, hopefully they will start heading this way. Well, I have been good about writing down everything I eat, when I eat it. I get some strange looks, but to bad.
I worked out at curves, both yesterday and today.
I am not going to write down everything that I ate here today, but I am holding myself accountable, did horrible both days, just wonderful on Wed during the day, but decided McDonalds was for dinner and I opted for a DBL 1/4lb w/cheese meal :(  That totally blew it all out of the water. My totals for Wed were:
Calories 2011, Protien 16%, Fat 29%, Carbs 56%, fiber 19 mg, sodium 2573 mg.
Today was a total bust, food day at work, and all it was was junk except for the fruit kabobs, and of course I couldn't resist. Dinner was good though, had grilled chicken breast with an orange juice/white wine glaze, wild rice flavored with fat free chicken broth and lots of herbs like rosemary and thyme fresh, and carrots. But the totals were just awful.
Calories 2824, protien 14%, Fat 32%, Carbs 54%, Fiber 11 mg, sodium 5929 mg
There were biscuits and cherry pie and home made jam and strawberry cheesecake and all those awful bad things, and a ham salad for a sandwich, and of course sausage and crackers............glad today is over. I can start fresh tomorrow.
Hope everyone does like a thousand times better than me.
Judy LOL :)

Judy,
I wish I could be there, and steer that car away from McDonald's for you:? Or go for a walk with you, when there is food at the office! But I know from multiple experiences, that YOU need to be the one who makes the choices. I had to admit that I was the one eating the cheesecake, NO ONE ELSE WAS FORCE FEEDING ME! I found that I could find an excuse for everything I put in my mouth that I shouldn't have.....EVERYTHING!!!!!!! And I also knew (or eventually figured out) that as long as I did that, I wouldn't be successful at getting this weight off. I had to decide how badly I wanted it. Ultimately, my husband, kids and grandkids were my boost. I didn't want someone taking care of me in a nursing home, because I stroked out from high cholesterol. And I didn't want to be held prisoner by a test kit and insulin needle for the rest of my life. And I did want to be there to see all my children married and be around to enjoy my grandkids.
Judy, you deserve to get this weight off! You deserve a great looking body!! Judy, you deserve to be HEALTHY and live a long life!!! BUT......Only you can give yourself what you deserve!!!!
Have you figured out your RMR & BMR, and your activity level on the calculators on this site? Then substracted about 15% to find your calorie range, to safely lose weight?
Yeah for you, for getting that notebook and writing down what you eat. THAT IS A BIG STEP!!! And Judy, think of the rest of it as baby steps. Baby steps are good, as long as you keep going forward:D Some people on this site, talk about how they can only handle changing one or two things at a time. There's nothing wrong with that:P Just keep on making good changes;) and make them permanent.
Have you thought about writing out a mini-goal? Following the footsteps of others on this site, once in a while I write in my diary my calorie/protein/fat/fiber goals or why I am doing this or set a date by which I will lose a certain amount of weight. And I have some goals that I just keep mentally, and don't write down (although I should put them in writing in my diary).
What is the Curves 6-week plan like? Have you started that yet?
I am praying for you daily. May you find the strength to make a plan and stick to it! Your biggest cheerleader, Pat

HI All,
Today I started the curves diet. It is not bad, and I can subsitute things that I don't like as long as they fall in the range that is listed for what was on the diet. Like I don't like egg subsitute so I subsitute for egg whites, don't like them much either but I can eat them. Egg subsitute makes me sick to my stomach and gag. Not good. This week, I am eating higher protien diet at only approx 1200 calories, can go over to 1300, but try not to..........next week calories go up to around 1600 calories a day, you stay on that until you don't loose weight for 2 weeks, hit your goal or want a break from dieting for a day or two. After you reach your goal you go to phase 3 which is about 2000 to 2500 calorie daily ned and if you start putting on weight then you go to the 1200 calories for two days and slowely work back up to the higher calories, it is lean meats, lots of fresh veggies, seafood, and fruits on the diet. It is very doable if you can do the first week, that will be the hardest, but by then you should be able to shrink the tummy a little, and of course drink at least 8 8 oz's of water a day.
today I ate:
Breakfast 1 yogurt, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1/2 oz of low fat cheddar cheese ( I tried the egg subsitutes and almost puked had to throw them away, so I to improvise with the time that I had left this morning.)
Snack - 2 oz of lean deli ham, 1 mozzarella string cheese
Lunch - Lean cuisine Salsibury Steak, 1 cup of cantaloupe, 1 cup of salad greens w/light salad dressing ( I use so little you can't even say I use 1 tsp)
Snack - 3 oz of tuna w/1/2 tbsp of fat free miracle whip, 2 rye crisps(these are yucky, how my husbands eats them I don't know, they are like thin bricks, will switch to triscuits can substitue 3 of them)
Dinner - 6 oz chicken breast grilled, w/lemon pepper seasoning, 2 cup of salad greens w/no dressing, and 1/2 cup of peaches.
1 protien shake for night time snack
Total intake today Calories 1269, protien 44%, Fat 19%, Carbs 37%, not sure of my fiber intake, will try and figure that tomorrow. Don't have time tonight.
I worked out for 30 mins at curves today. Walked on 15min break this afternoon. I am on 10 hr days this week, so not pushing more workouts other than the curves in the am.
Not such a bad day today............See you tomorrow.
Judy :)

Judy,
Looks like you had a GREAT day:D I had a good Monday, too. But, I was off plan for the weekend. Don't think I've done that since I got serious about this, the end of Feb.
Sometimes all I need is a serious plan to follow. Then it seems so much easier to stay with it. Sounds like a do-able plan with Curves. Go for it Pat

We took custody of my granddaughters on June 30th and I just haven't had anytime at all for the computer or anything else. Don't know when I will be able to spend more than a few minutes on line.
Will catch up soon.

Judy,
Have been keeping you in my prayers, even when we didn't hear from you. Hope they've been helping to sustain you and keep you strong! Whatever the circumstances with the custody thing, it can't have been an easy time for you. Hang in there and come back when you have the time and energy. I'll keep praying for everything you need to keep you strong, and get you through this. God Bless, Pat

Wow! Just the ages sound exhausting! Kudos to you for taking on the task....may God be with you to keep you strong for whatever you have to face. I don't know what the circumstances are, that you've gotten custody, but I'd say it's even more important now that you lean on God for strength and guidance, and teach those 3 little darlings about Him too.
In prayer, God Bless, Pat

Hi All,
I have been gone for a while, it was really hard to keep up with everything and take care of the girls, wow, what a busy life, really hard to take care of the 3 girls, 2 teenage sons, a husband and work full time. The girls will be moving into a pre adoptive home on Friday, a very very nice couple that will give them lots of love and attention and we still get to be grandparents to them.
Hopefully you will get to hear from me and I will start posting again more often next week.
The eating hasn't been the greatest, and haven't had time to keep it logged, but have been going to curves, when my asthma isn't bothering me, had a bad attack in late Sept, and didn't get to work out much in Oct. but, I have kept up a weight loss and inches too...........not much, but not weight gain or inch gain, I have lost a total of 4 lbs, 9 inches, and 1% body fat.
Since I am working out more now, and will have time to record my food, which means I will be watching what I eat I am hoping for a 4lb weight loss this month and at least 4 inches total if not more.
Well, it is good to be back. Will write again.............Saturday.

Judy,
WELCOME BACK!!!! So glad to hear from you! I've been praying for you and wondering what was going on in your life. Sounds like you've found a solution that you're happy with, in the circumstances.
Congrats on keeping up with the weight loss and working out. That can't have been easy with things so unsettled in your life! I hope it helped relieve some of the stress. I think you've made more progress than I have since you've been gone
Way to go!
Blessings to you,
Pat

Welcome back, Judy!
I sure haven't made much progress since you were last here! I really ate a lot over the holidays. I had only been up 1 pound overall from before Thanksgiving until Dec. 24, but I've been eating for a week and my scale puts me up 11.5 lbs this morning I don't know how much is water weight, but I know it's not all water!
But I am back on track today........a new year, and I'm going to hit 140 way before my son's wedding in June!
Happy New Year

OK, don't beat yourself up.....look how great you did through most of the day! I know for me, it's usually the evening that is the hardest to control my eating.
Also, I find the first few days back on plan are the hardest to stick to! Just get through these first days as best you can....baby steps to walking to jogging!

Yesterday I had:
Sausage McGriddle, Hashbrowns for breakfast, with a coffee w/equal
about 2 oz of a ground sirloin for a snack
1/4 protein bar, I think it has 260 calories, not sure, will have to look once I get to work.
McDonalds Double Cheeseburger for lunch with water
about 2 oz of a ground sirloin for a snack
2 cups of taco bake w/Sierra Mist Free for dinner (taco bake consists of Mac & Cheese, ground beef (lean), taco seasoning, salsa, sour cream and cheese) I will have to see if the recipe book shows how many calories are in this...........just can't wait to see
Will figure up my calories later today.............have to head off to work soon. I dont' remember everything I ate on Tuesday, didn't have a bad day, just didn't write it down.

Hi All,
I have been gone for a while, Had some surgery done in February and have been recouping. I have not been able to exercise, not even at curves, was in way to much pain before the surgery and now have to wait for the dr to give his ok, do not go to dr's till the 21st this month. Hopefully I can start exercising then. I haven't really kept up with the tracking of what I have eaten either, hopefully, I can start that again soon. Will try for tomorrow. I have been feeling better, so maybe this can be one of my small steps.
Hope to write again soon.
Judy

Judy, I wrote you a note in my diary, if you want to check it out.
I was wondering if you saw Patchers   Easter Challenge??? I'm sure you could still sign up, if you want to. There were some others that just started. We just each set our own goal that we wanted to lose by Easter......and then we report in. I think the thread is under General Discussions. I know you can't exercise yet, but if you are back to watching what you eat, maybe you'd like to join us? We will report in again on March 25 and then on Easter Sunday. Just a thought, if you want to use it to get you started. It sure got me going again.
