Seeing I am not allowed to nag you, then I will suggust that you drop the diet pop all together. You met my daughter last fall, she went from 210 to 125 by going back to the gym, eating healthy and only drinking water, watered down juice and tea, she treats herself with diet pop on special occasions. One of the things I do is to stop eating and drinking about 2.5 hours before bedtime. I didn’t do anything all winter and still didn’t gain weight. Lol don’t give up your OH HENRY the peanuts are good protein. :hehe:

Dianna.~ I refuse to give up the diet pop. Do NOT mention it again. :angry:

Even when I was in TOP form my Personal coach and nutritionist said one glass of Diet Soda with each meal is acceptable since I do not drink coffee, tea, or juice of any kinds.

Losing weight sucks but hugs that you’re going for it and I know you can do it.

Thanks, Jill.

I’m actually looking forward to it. I just really hate the way my body has FELT over the last couple years. I’m too young to feel this old and decrepit. I think it’s because of the unhealthy weight gain, and I don’t want to feel this way anymore, so I need to start taking it seriously again. :)

Totally understand about not liking how one’s body feels. I almost got sucked into one of those Pilates infomercials yesterday, and almost, but not quite, got out my trusty little mastercard and plunked down my $9.95 for one of those babies. But common sense prevailed, and I thought, "exercise, ME?? You have SOO got to be kidding." Sigh. I do have the website bookmarked though. The thought of a better body, 20 minutes a day, 3 times a week, will eat at me for a while. Pass the Mint Oreos please.

I’m here to provide encouragement and asking the nagging, "Did you go to the gym today?" question everyday.

It helps when you have some motivation. When I was lamenting about gaining 15 lbs last year a friend would ask me every morning, "Go to the gym last night?" and because I knew she’d ask, I went, regardless of how crappy I felt. Every little bit helps.

Good luck!! It’s a brave soul to post their weight.

Good for you, Sasha! I’ll be rooting for you. I’m a huge believer in the miraculous power of writing down a goal with a deadline. Just being clear on what you want to accomplish by when is giant step!

Danica~ I think NOT buying those tapes is a good thing. I have abox full of exercise videos…the only thing for me personally that works. is getting my butt out the door. I’m too comfortable at home to work out…unless it with a naked man…then home is the best place. ;)

Grace~ I should be able to say yes then. :D I plan to go to the gym before even turning on my computer so that I dont; get sucked into cyber space. :rolleyes:

Thanks, Charlene. I posted my goal here for just that reason. Peopel rooting for me is always good…and I can’t really back down now.

Sylvia~ Throwing my own words back in my face, huh? ;)

Sasha I think it is great that you have made the decision out loud to make a lifestyle change (never say the D word) :)I too weigh 245 lbs, I have for the last five years since I gave birth to my daughter. Diets never seem to work because my husband always drags me down by saying they’ll never work or that he will do it with me then eats a whole bag of oreos. So kudos to you. And diet pop isn’t bad for you (o calories).
