CRABBy...we are all going to weigh weekly and then report lbs lost but not your actuall weight and then we will discuss what we ate that day and any challenges we had. We are going to just keep playing it by ear I think. Red

Hi Guys,
Sorry I haven't been on, It's 3 AM and I can't sleep, too much pain. I have been running to Dr. talking to lawyer, I haven't got all the back money they owe me yet, since the beginning of Oct. so my lawyer is putting in for penalties. I will let you know what happens.
I definately want in on the diet. I want to lose 15 lbs, so I will be going for 1-2 lbs. per week. I usually lose a lot at first and then slow down.
Red you are a doll for doing this for us.
The rest of you can join in even if you have already started to lose weight it will be fun.

how about you all do you talking on here maybe we can learn and be inspired to go along in a silent mode

Sweet tooth,
You can be our mentor so we stick to it, that way you will still be in on it even if you don't want to diet. It always helps just to know there is someone to talk to .

Red,
I'm willing to do this, since I have more weight that I want to lose and have been at a standstill. I think the steroids and other meds have stopped me from losing. I don't actually have any specific weight loss plan. i can't afford the special foods. I was just gonna keep doin what I was doing, by eating lower fat foods and watching what I eat. Will this be ok??? Let me know.
Take care
Vickie

that is the best way Vickie

[backache]

That is what I'm doing, just cutting back and drinking more water. If I bought the special foods that you get a week at a time, I would probably eat it all in one day.

Good morning all .....

Vickie, weight watchers is what you described. Weight loss does not have to be any packaged type diet. I am going to do what I have been doing also, and that is cutting back, making different selections, cutting back on fats and pure sugers... which is actually not not a big problem of mine. Mine is more along the lines of peanut butter.... what can I say, guess I never grew up....

Backache ... welcome...to the list. I am trying to add more water also. Water is needed to remove the fat....and I always loose when I drink more water. They recommend 6-8 8oz glasses each day. Does everyone drink water to assist with weight loss?

Where is Chris Chris...has she been gone. I have not seen her around for awhile. Now I am going to worry.... let me know ok.... love Red

Everyone else who is on the list..... How about we all weight in on Monday next, and get a good start that way.
