Hi,
Thanks to everyone that had words of encouragement for me yesterday. I am back to my old chipper self. Who knew that happiness could come from a serving of Special K cereal with fat free milk. I am changing my diet plan to strictly WW points. I apparently need more carbs to stay sane. The low carb approach was making me grouchy, blue and tired. That’s wont due for me I am a sunshiny bubbly person. Bring on the veggies and the fruit.
I dont eat bread that often,but if I do it will be dark and whole grain. I will restrict the pasta to smart taste and whole grain versions and I already eat only whole brown rice. It is my hope that the point system will keep me in check. Thanks again, I hope that all of you realize how important this site is for people like me that dont get much support at home.

Hi,
I pride myself on being positive,but I am really blue today . I wonder if its my impending bday on Sat. I will be turning the big 30. I don’t mind getting older (it beats the option)I guess that I wish I was progressing faster with my weightloss. I weighed myself today(which I should not have) and the scale did not move. My frustration is fuming today. I am going to get out of this I dont feel like me. I always tell my buds to play music and dance. My mp3 is loaded and I am going to go for a walk and then take my own advice. I miss my own smile. My family (my parents-the anti-dieters) believe it is my low carbing thats the culprit of my sadness and lack of energy. I just know that I am not going to quit this time too much is at stake.

Hi,
I have a slight problem. I am great on my diet during the day but at 7pm it starts to go down hill. I have tried just not to eat but I am still actively moving about so my stomach in singing. I also have realized that my hunger is worse when I exercise. I know that you are saying just dont eat, but after a while I start to not feel well. Also, I have a family so I just cant sleep it off. What are some healthy suggestions to combat this problem? I dont like pills or taking anything.Theres got to be a natural way. This is the problem that causes my diets to fail. I really need to beat it this time. Thanks

Just wanted to introduce myself. If there is positive energy and motivation out there I need it. I am a tired mom that looks way older than I should with an athletic husband with the perfect body(well why not he did not go through pregnacies) Well I have decided to look for other sources of inspiration. About me, well I am the chubbiest athlete you will ever know. When I am in workout mode I am a tiger and that blasted scale will not buldge it only increases. I naturally eat healthy (guilty of loving french fries and what girl does not need  chocalate) , but I dont binge on those guilty pleasures, I get my small dose and move on. Any other person in the world with my habits would be thin. My weight has gotten to the point where a old sports injury is aggravated and I am not having surgery. I have got to get it off for myself ,my health, my fear of scalpels, and okay I want to be drop dead gorgeous again. Any words that can ward off frustration would be greatly appreciated and returned.
