Way to go Eric!! Not bad being sick when a person can lose weight!! Just advice take it for what it's worth-the higher the fiber and the lower the fat= less points. There is this bread called Natural Oven that counts as 1/2 pt. The rolls that they also make are very good! I believe they're 2pts but they taste so good that you don't need to put anything on it. For bkft I would have 3 of the N.Oven toasted with 1tb of jelly. That would be 4 and 1/2 pts. 3 pts for the jelly and 1 1/2pts for the toast. keeping track of what you eat really helps. also having the food with less pts where you can eat more of. But you also don't deprived your self from having some thing you really are wanting just be sure to write it down. And the most important thing that when i did do good at it I noticed it would help and that is drink lots of H20!

When you make 5 or more trips to the bathrm in a hr then you know you're drinking lots of h20. The good news is that it slows down with the # of times for having to go peepee! I know what you're thinking!! "I'm not a women"
You can be lucky you're not a women but we won't go there!! Today anyway!!

Shannon you are way funny! Thanks for the laugh. I do good with the water thing for awhile then when I get real busy I forget. I should always carry it with me....make a habit out of it. Thanks for the tips though. Keep them coming if you can.

Do you notice too that at first drinking more than normlly you peep so much but how it gets better later on. Sometimes I think maybe I need a diaper that I can't hold it to get to the bathrm on time just like the kids. I too need to get back to drink more. I started so good and now I'm right back to the beginning. It's the motherhood life that's doing it!!! But I love them dearly. Have a good day Sherly!

LOL! Oh yah, same thing here. I just got done doing that not that you really wanted or needed to hear that. It does get better and I'm getting better at remember to drink water rather than juice or pop.

I've been doing more working out at Curves. For a while it was only 1 or 2 days and not every week but now I signed up for a contest if you show up 4 or more times a week, you'll get your name in a drawing for a free prize. Also one of the girls here at work has made a pack with me that she exercise 4 times a week for 45 minutes and I workout 4 times a week and we check on each other to make sure we do it. Also, she's putting a small pair of pants in front of her treadmill to motivate her to get back into them. I have a dress that I want to fit back into also. Hope this works.
Eric, it's okay that you gained back 5 lbs 'cause then it just motivates you to try harder to lose those 5 lbs and more. Unless you don't get motivated that way!? Just walk an extra mile tonight!

It is a never ending battle of losing weight or even just maintaining it. I've gained about 5 lbs back also and it is only because I'm not as active as I should be. I want to walk in the a.m., but when the time comes I'm so tired that I want to keep sleeping. Together though honey we can beat this battle.
