I haven’t been doing very good on the weekends.  I was really good for a few weeks then BAM. My weight is still down but I have been gaining on the weekend again about 3 pounds.  I need to get this under control.  It’s funny that I can tell in the morning if my day will be a bad binging day or if I will have good eating

habits that day.  I don’t know if it’s hormones or what but I can tell. Watching my two granddaughters 2-3 days a week isn’t easy either.  I am constantly making one of…

I know a couple who is getting married April 14, 2012 and both are trying to lose weight.  The three of us are doing our own thing and of course the guy looses the most weight.  He has a good built and was in

the reserves for our country, so he is in pretty good shape but has gained the weight since he has been home.  She is so excited for her wedding and wants everything to be perfect from her weight to the decorations and specially her dress. When I was married at 18 years…

Well, since my last post I went on vacation for a week in Myrtle Beach. I took some of my own foods to help me with my healthy eating.  I had lost 9 lbs at the time my vacation started.  I could have been better with my eating on vacation but then again I have been much, much worse.  When I came home I had gained 8 lbs back in one week.  Now, Iknew some of that would come off pretty quick due to water weight from higher

sodium than I’m used to.  It took me one week to gain it &…

When I was first married 36 years ago I was 18 yrs old and I had no worries about my weight.  I’m 5’2” and weighed about 110-115.  Today I’m 54 and my weight is 124 lbs, not too bad. I want to get down to 120 lbs.   I don’t remember girls or guys trying to lose so much weight 30+ years ago for their weddings.  I believe it’s because brides and grooms are older now and weight is an issue with some.  None of my girlfriends worried about their weight like girls do today and I’m no different. …

I just noticed that the last two of my blogs are gone. I'll give you a short update and then continue for this week.  I started on the Pritikin way of eating and taking the alli pill.  I'm down 8 lbs in about three weeks. Here is this weeks blog.

Well, I’m doing pretty good and I feel so much better.  I’m down another 2 lbs.  I’m still following the Pritikin way of eating and taking one alli pill at breakfast and one with dinner.  I still have had no side effects from the…

Well, I'm still doing good even over the weekend. My weight is down 2 more lbs, 126. I finished reading the Pritikin book and it was really good and a very sensible food plan to follow, not diet. It is real eating with lean protein, fruits, veggies and whole grains. The whole food plan revolves around eating very little fat, under 10%. I eat about 1200 calories a day so I should be eating 120 or less calories from fat. All food labels are marked with "calories from fat". I have no problem…

Well, I haven't posted in quite awhile.  My weight went up to 133 lbs & I was so discouraged with everything I just couldn't write.  A week ago I was grocery shopping and saw alli, the only weight loss supplement that is approved by the FDA.  I broke down and bought it, it was very expensive.  I needed something real fast or my 13 lb weight gain was going higher.  I know this because it has happened to me over and over again.  I started alli on Monday night.  I had some pains from gas I…

A bad, bad, bad week.  My weight is up to 131 & it's the highest I have been in a few years.  I have no control over my eating & I'm so tired of always fighting my eating habits, I love to eat.  Last time my weight kept going up & up was about 8 years ago & my highest was 145 lbs.  Too much for someone who is 5'2".  I just want to eat & eat all the time.  I was eating all the left over ice cream & goodies from Father's Day weekend, I couldn't stop.  I had a graduation…

Things are not good, not good at all.  Weight was up agian this week to 129.  Then party Friday, Saturday and Sunday for father's day.  Too much good food to pass up.  Today I feel horrible.  My stomach feels horrible and I don't feel like working out.  Mondays are always bad for working out due to extra calories in food and drinks.  I feel sluggish and just don't want to do anything but lay around.  I'm having a problem with my hips and knees cuz of the extra weight.  I know it's only 10…

Not a good week, need I say more.  I weighed in at 127, up one pound, and I ate so much at my granddaughter's baptism that it made me sick, really sick.  Why do I do this to myself over and over again.  I tried on my good black pants for the baptism and that started my morning off bad.  One pair fit me out of 6, not a good thing.  But did that make me eat less, no.  When am I going to learn???  This morning I'm starting off good with a weight/aerobic workout, oatmeal with banana, cinnamon…

I weighed myself on Friday and I was down to 126 lbs.  The problem is I can lose about 4 lbs during the week but then I gain the same 4 lbs back on the weekend.  I talked with my neice and she does the same every week.  I was so careful this weekend with drinks and food so we'll see on Friday how I did, it's a constant battle every week.  With so many graduations, cookouts, wedding showers and weddings it's so hard to eat right.  Our gatherings are surrounded by food and booze.  LOL  Then…

I haven't post in a few weeks because I'm so upset at myself for not being able to control my weight and eat right.  Again today is a new day and I either have to lose ten pounds or buy new clothes.  I went to a Memorial Day picnic and no shorts or capri's fit me but one pair and they were tight.  A lot of bad words came out of my mouth and I was so mad at myself.  I weighed myself on Friday and I'm up to 130 lbs.  The highest I've been in a few years.  I know how to eat and what to eat.  I…

Do we ever conquer the yo yo weight problem?  You think you have it figured out and BAM you lose all control over your eating.  Good luck to all brides and grooms trying to get healthy and shape up for the big wedding day.  My husband & I both eat junk food when we're having a bad binging weekend.  I gain 4 pounds over the weekend & he may gain one, what's up with that???

I weighed myself on Friday and my weight is up to 127, still trying to find a common ground…
