Hey Ladies , The Lovely RBella started a thread about her weight struggles and most of us cam out and said hey... I'm going through the SAME thing. So I thought we might Start a place to hold each other accountable for our habits =).

I will say this ... If you wanna join up I'm gonna try to stay on top of you and I hope other will too ... I would like regular check ins such as

" I had a Great day today ", or "Didn't do So hot today "

That way we can help each other out and if someone doesn't Chime in for a while... I'll try to hunt you down and see how you are doing =)

Ok, well I sure as hell am not posting my stats. Sorry, but I will tell you my goals and what not.

I am hoping to get back to a healthy weight and to increase my activity level. I'd like to lose about 50 lbs and gain lean muscle mass.

My first goal is to get through today without drinking a Dr. Pepper and without binging late tonight.

Ultimately, I would like to start scheduling my workouts into my life, but I don't think I'm ready to do that quite yet. I feel if I can get over the DP hurdle and binging hurdle, I will have made a MAJOR accomplishment.

So far, no DP's today. I have a gigantic headache, but I'm poppin Advil. We will see how later tonight goes.

Good luck Sky. I know we can do this!!!!!!!!!!!

You may buy some of the 100 calorie cans of Dr.Pepper and if you do really well you can treat yourself to one ;-) ... Its good to have treats!

That would be a great idea, but they come in a 6 pack and I drink all 6 at once. I really am pretty pathetic. I do agree that I should have treats every once in awhile.

I'm thinking that I might go out to eat with Mr. Rbella every once in a blue moon, and when we do that, I'll have a DP. What do you think?

This sounds cool and a great way to keep ourselves honest...here i go

I weighed myself a couple weeks ago and found out that I'm carrying 150 lbs on my 4'11" frame, 31 yr old frame. Not happy. I also wear a 40F bra size (I've always had a little Dolly Parton goin on) so I'm having all kinds of issues on my little body. I haven't weighed myself again yet...but I have drastically changed my eating habits. Water all day, no sugar, no cheese, trying to plan ahead for my meals...stuff like that. I signed onto Sparkspeople.com so I'm using that to help me out, along with my bff and bf. I don't really eat alot...just bad habits. I have 3 kids, all which are elite atheletes...so mama's trying to catch up. I will admit, I had kind of a rough day and week...so I had a Snicker bar (don't throw things). I need help...and Id love to help anyone else. Let's get this weight off!!!

Awww be careful girl! I've gone cold turkey on my sodas before & it was a nightmare!!! If you can't take it, just cut down the amount of sodas per day (until you get down to no sodas). The good news is if you outlast the headache, it should be gone by tomorrow. Good luck girls!

Woo Hoo!!! We will!! Don't kill yourself over the snickers. I should think if you just had the one and finished the rest of the day with healthy eating, you'll be fine. What the hell do I know? But, it sounds like a good idea. Anyway, what I mean is it sounds like you are making great changes, don't beat yourself up over one mistake....I'm going to take a look at that website.


Thanks, MAC!! If you don't see me tomorrow by the evening, it is b/c I've admitted myself to a looney bin or b/c I'm too embarrassed to admit that I caved and drank 20 DP's tonight!!!!!!!

^^^This is good advice. Also, do you like Diet DP? I've really tried to cut back on my sodas...and it's helping me that if I do have the craving for one....I make it a diet. ANd Diet DP tastes just about the same. HTH

@Rbella..I did have a pretty good day today. Breakfast was a 90 calorie cereal bar with coffee (sugar added, this will be a hard one); lunch was a side salad with light balsamic vinegarette with apple slices (Mickey D's style)....dinner is baked chicken. Thanks for the encouragement not to beat myself up

Heck yea, you've done great!! I can't do diet drinks. They rip apart my digestive tract.

I will say that coffee is helping a bit. I am trying to follow the WW points system while eating fairly healthy. I had a piece of double fiber bread for breakfast with coffee and for lunch I had to pop in one of my WW frozen meals, oh and I had a peach.
