Excellent Name!  (I am a Sarah with an "h" too!)

 

I have been looking through the forums and there seemed like a lot of women who were at 140 trying to lose 10-20 pounds and I thought maybe I was in the wrong place.  I was 226 when I started and I am only 5'4"  I gained 4 pounds the first week--I am not sure why but happily I have lost that and another 7. My goal is 130 but if I make it to 150 I will be very happy.  I know I still will be a size 14 when I weigh 150 but I don't mind having curves.  I just really want to be healthy.  My biggest motivator is that I am in my mid 20s and have off the charts high cholesterol.

Sarah (relativelylucid): Welcome to the forums, it is great to hear that you are doing something good for yourself, and I am positive you will achive your goals. If you ever need anyone to give you a nudge in the right direction just give me a shout and I will e-mail you daily if needed!

Thanks rednikon!

Hi Sarah! Good to see you here. I'm going to go lay back down. (I just took a pain pill), but I'll check back in later.

Morning group!  I am going to have a fab day.  Malto meal for breakfast with milk is only 180 some cal's, but really filling.  I love maltomeal!

Welcome ot all the new people!

Well I had my daughter's first B-Day party yesterday. We had a BBQ and bouncy hpuse. And it rained on and off all day. But the kids didn't mind they still jumped and had a good time. My daughter got tons of clothes for when it gets colder which is great. We had alot of fun. Didn't eat too much either so that's good.

Good morning Nivy and Tina! Hope you guys have a wonderful day!

Goodmorning Pam and ladies great to see so many posting this weekend=)

nivy, I love malt o meal too and its so filling yum yum enjoy

trapp, good job on eating well at the party! I'm sure the was a lil hard.

I'm off to try one of those healthy choice cafe steamer I bought the creamy dill salmon one so I hope its good it only has 240 cal and it looks like a lot of food. Hope its yummo =)

Good Morning all newbies and oldies.  Wow this forum is so awsome I can not believe all of the encourgment from all of you wonderful people.  Okay gang I have a question what is malto meal? (do I sound stupid) I have never heard of this stuff. hahaha if it is good I want to try it. 

Well off to another barbeque at mother in laws house lots of fattening food, but I am going to eat before I go so wish me luck.

Last night went to my sorority wind up only had 1 glass of wine which I am very proud off and not really alot to eat lots of salad. had a lot of laughs.

I just want to say thank you all for being there.

Have a fantastic day

The week of Teacher Work Days did me in.... I've gained a pound back.  :(  But, I have climbed back on the wagon, and am ready again to ride it to healthy living!!

Anna, I think Malto-Meal is a cereal.  Not sure though.

Thanks jessica I am going to look into it.  I just went on to the calorie counter and I can't believe it I ate almost all of my calories.  I am shocked I thought I was making good choices.  I have to get out of summer sizing mode and get into cal counting mode.  What a major difference.  wow!!!!!!!!! :{

anna

Yeah, if we're not careful, we can eat more calories than we thought. That's why I go to the computer after I eat most every time, and sometimes when I am planning what to eat, so I ]know how much I can have, I check it out first.

My teacher workdays start tomorrow, jessicarm...  and I have a plan... I"m going to be "busy" during lunches....so that I can bring my own and eat healthy... and I"m ignoring the evil little shancks that they have for us!

Have ya'll ever written a long post and then have it vanish after you click on POST REPLY? That just happened to me, and I really don't feel like typing it all out again. So I'll just say - Have a wonderful day!
