Weight loss buddies

I cant focus on that now. I do want to go to Curves when the weather warms up. It is only 30 minutes a day and i think I can do it. I think I can I think I can

I could stnad to loose a few pounds-- ok like 10-15 to be exact- It seems the older we get the harder it is to keep it off.. I'm tall and have never had any problems with my weight until recently.. Its like I eat the same-- but somehow some weight just stays on longer- : ( I'd love to involve myself with this-- Let's hope some more people will agree and get the ideas flowing!

Carbohydrates do not make you fat. Calories make you fat. Often it’s the sugar and fat contained in carbohydrates that make you fat. Also a lot of carbohydrates are processed, so you don’t get the advantage of feeling full from fiber found in unprocessed carbs. For example, whole grain pasta is more filling — and makes you feel satisfied longer — than white pasta, though both have the same amount of calories. What will change the number of calories is the amount of sauce and butter you put on your pasta. What you want to do is eat carbs in moderation.

I think it is a great idea to start a weight loss support group. :) Support from others is sometimes what is exactly needed to get through a bad day instead of allowing one's self eat the chocolate éclair for emotional support. ha ha Oh come on...you have got to agree that a chocolate éclair makes everything better! :) But I too have had to change my diet and can say that over the last few months, I have lost 20 pounds. Now...that isn't enough yet because it is just in the high bracket of my weight range. And since I am actually very small boned, I know I should be in the low of the weight range for my height. So...I still need to loose 20 more pounds. But here is the kicker. I am borderline diabetic nd can not consume more than 10 net carbs per meal. Of course, I have stretched that from time to time to 14. ha ha But now that I am half way to my goal and feeling better because my sugar is not too high, I have to be careful of the foods I eat. Even foods that claim to be diet are too high in carbs. So, if you have anything that you run into that can help, I would really be interested! :) Great discussion!

You have the right idea to have a support system to help you towards success. Just started a discussion about this kind of thing, it has information about on line help. However you do it I am hoping that it turns out the way you want it to. It can be a long road to hoe but you will get there!

I belonged to WW a few years ago and I still have all their books and information... I tried doing it on my own when funds were low, but you really need that support locally. Have you ever looked into TOPS? It's very similar to WW, but it's actually the very first weight loss support group and it is much, much cheaper than WW... You can do a search to see if there is one in your area... http://www.tops.org We just started one in our town because the closest to us was about 20 miles away. All it takes is 4 people to start one! I started with 4 people and now we have 14 on our roster! It's been going great and I love the support we all receive each and every week! Good luck to you!
