YES. And you will weigh less without your head, so double the benefit!!!
Congrats on the pound gone, MK (if I may call you that).
I drank my 8 glasses as promised!
Yeah, thelook, let's open a big 'ole store and live like royalty!

 

[Kimerpuff]

There is an app, you scan the bar code on your food and it keeps track of your cal intake ect!

 

[Mary Kay]

Give me a break Kim...I can't find my phone most of the time!

Ok so eating carbs while standing up does not count right??????????????

 

[Mary Kay]

I blew it! 5 days in and I caved for pizza tonight! Double mushroom and pepperoni!
Well I start working on the new house on Monday..so I will work it back off!

 

[100thMonkey]

(((((hug))))) Mary Kay, sounds DELICIOUS.

I'm still drinking my water (my goal for the week) and will weigh and measure tomorrow and come up with a new goal for the week.

Yes, Look, standing doesn't count, nor does tasting while you're cooking, eating off someone else's plate, or any food sample at Costco -- this is all absolutely 0 calories. I am going to write a book on this phenomenon.

Hi everyone

Lets see I stopped smoking and a year later I suddenly put on 40lbs in under 4 months, went to the doctor and realized for whatever reason my thyroid took a nose dive. Started on a natural thyroid pill and watching what I eat for the most part just have balanced meals and don't skip breakfast anymore. I'm down 38lbs now, I try to walk 3 1/2 miles a few times a week now and do my best to stick to water, although I will have a coke now and again. I do not do any diet or fake sugar foods. Just trying to be overall healthy with all I eat.

Alway thought people were crazy when they harped on breakfast but it really does help you lose weight, I don't even think it matters what you eat as long as its just a portion of food.

Weight loss is so hard for women .

Keep up the good work ladies and be proud of yourselves.

 

[Stephaniems]

I only thought that counted or didn't rather when you stood over a sink? lol

Ok so eating carbs while standing up does not count right??????????????

 

[Mary Kay]

Hi Ladies:

If you don't mind, I'd like to join you as well. I have about 30 lbs I'd like to lose. My brother is getting married next September and I'm in the wedding party so I figure I have about 10 months.

I already eat pretty good but have to get my .... in gear with the exercise! I kind of started today by taking the dogs on a mile walk around a near by pond. I'm hoping to do it again tomorrow along with a great cardio dvd that I have.

 

[Mary Kay]

Welcome AKingsley! Sure hop right in and share the name of your workour DVD.

 

[PatriciafromCO]

Hang in there MK,, I agree getting off some foods and then having them they still taste good but I get that sinking icky feeling not too long afterwards when they sitting in my stomach.. lol... I do ok for having pizza thin crust mushroom cheese here and there,, but cheese cake ,, it's just so so too rich for me...

 

[akingsley9000]

Hi MaryKay!

Thanks for the welcome

The DVD is a set called Slim in 6. I used it a few years a go and lost 40 lbs with it but then got out of the routine and never managed to get back into it.

I tried going to the gym for a while, but its just not my thing. I would always find an excuse not to go. Haha. With the DVDs I really have no excuse so I'm hoping to get back on top of everything.
