Children say the darnedest things!!!!!!!!

Mon, 17 Jan 2011 21:08:51 EST

I have found that children are wonderful beings. As i served my 3 lil one's lunch. Xavier (8), Triston(7) and Navaeh (5) were having a conversation. Triston asked me if i could come volunteer at his school, so i said sure and walked out the kitchen. I hear X say T everyone is going to make fun of you if you let mom come to the school, T says no they aren't and X is like yes, they are going to say your mom is so fat. I didn't know what to say. I knew that my weight was an issue to my children,...

Why can't I stay motivated

Thu, 22 Apr 2010 18:31:31 EST

I have been trying so hard to stay focused. I want to lose weight but i just can't seem to stay focus enough. I do try to do a couple arm excercises, but that seems to be all i can fit in. This is driving me crazy. It's so easy to gain weight, but hard to take it off. To make matters worse my DR suggested i stop drinking coca-cola or caffiene in general 222 . This is so hard, day 3 with no soda/pop 46

Miami

Fri, 4 Dec 2009 17:43:11 EST

I am going to Miami in January and i would love to lose 26 lbs. My family has not seen me in 4 years and i want to look a little slimmer and be able to keep up with them without getting tired and having to sit down. I chose 26 lbs because that is 10% of my total weight and i know i will feel a lot better with off. I am tired of being tired.

I CAN DO IT

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 17:31:57 EST

I have had some recent events in my life that began last week. Namely my husband was talking to a friend about my weight and i did not realize how he viewed my weight. Of course i had to curse him out, but after that i realized that he was right, i did let myself go and i can no longer blame it on my children, my youngest just turned 4 on Wednesday. After calming down, i decided that it was time for me to get back on track, but this time i am making sure i do not let life get in the way. I...

getting Motivated

Wed, 25 Mar 2009 13:02:50 EST

i have been trying for several weeks to find the time and energy to get up off the couch and exercise. When i get home all i want to do is crash. i look at all the exercise equipment and then say i'll get to it later. it's so frustrating, although i haven't gained any weight, i haven't lost ant either and i really need to lose. My kids are learning all about eating right and being active at school and my 6 yr old asked if the reason i was fat was because i wanted to die . I couldn't make him ...

finding time for me

Mon, 19 May 2008 17:26:31 EST

As a busy mom of five who works fulltime, i realized that i could only workout 10 mins here and there, so i brought my eliptical in the house and put it in my living room, no it doesn't go with the furniture, but now as i prepare dinner i can jump on for 10 mins at a time and by the time the night is over i have completed a 30 - 40 min workout, i have been doing this for several days and it makes me feel relaxed, normally i can't unwind until 11 pm but that has all changed since i brought my ...

losing weight

Wed, 5 Mar 2008 14:50:15 EST

A few weeks ago i gave up on dieting and exercising, it just seem to hard and time consuming, 1 thing i did learn was to eat a lot wiser, although i was no longer dieting, i still stayed in my calorie range and took the steps more, i was sure i had gained back the weight i lost. Today i put on a pair of pants that i bought over a year ago, they fit, not only did they fit, they went on with no problem.

Sparks has taught me a lot about this weight loss process, i am happy to see the ...

Lunch

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 12:55:17 EST

I had a salad for lunch,i measured everything except my salad dressing, what a big mistake, although i believe i only put 2 or 3 tsps, i started to read the label, i was so shocked. i had in 2 tsps 170 cal, that is ridiculous. i am switching to low fat or reduced fat or something a lot healthier.

time????????

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 09:57:36 EST

i was determined more than ever to work out, but of course with a uncopperative husband and 5 kids, that went right out the window. I got home, cooked, gave baths, helped with homework, did laundry and cleaned the kitchen. This weight loss thing is going to be tough, but i will meet my short term goal of losing 13 pounds by 2/14..........
