Just discovered this site ( I subscribe to the Proverbs 31 Ministry) and have decided to join as I both need & desire to loose weight. I am 5?10? and weigh about 220 lbs. I’ve never been a skinny person, and am fortunate to carry my weight well. People never believe how much I weigh, but I know this is not healthy and that my high blood pressure would probably decrease considerably if I loose weight, not to mention I’d look & feel better.

Hi! I’m just joining because I’m fed up! I had my third baby 10 months ago, and I am struggling loose the last 13 pounds. That might not seem like a lot, but I am short, and even 5 pounds make every bit of difference. I joined weight watchers for the third time, but this time it’s not working for me. I just seem to stay at the same weight. Three months have passed since I started WW, and I have nothing to show for. Ironically, I weigh in on Wednesdays, and after weighing in this morning I turned to Lord. I asked him for help, and he answered this prayer with Proverbs 31 and this blog! Thank you.

Hi Jenine, do you know what exactly you don’t like about raw veggies/fruit? If you can figure out if it’s taste or texture or what, then maybe we have some good recipes or creative ideas. Have you tried smoothies? I don’t know if this is such a great idea, you have to watch the sodium/calories/fat invthese meals, but casseroles, pot pie & stir fry offer ways of gettting a variety of veggies. There are healthier recipe versions online, you just have to google them.
Maybe we’ll do a recipe swap sometime.

Okay so I am thinking to be serious about this I may have to actually invest in a scale. Hate dieting and exercising but need to get healthier and want to look better too.

I’m having a hard time sticking to my calorie budget. However, writing down what I eat has made me more aware of what I’m eating, so I guess that’s a start. The good news is that I have been exercising more. That is the only way that I can account for the 1 lb. I lost this week. I am going to have to really try this week not to binge (pms). I am definitely a meat & potatoes gal. I’ve tried eating apples in a pie and pineapple in an upside down cake, but they just don’t seem to work the way I’d hoped. Does anyone have any good ideas for those who don’t really like raw fruits and veggies very much?

Love the idea of WLW. Thanks for providing the forum. I’ve been up and down several times over the years and as I’ve gotten older, my problem area is really ingesting too much sugar. So, I’ve started Monday really cutting back sugar again. I’d like to lose about 35-40 pounds. I used to love to exercise but have gotten away from it, so another goal. Overall, I’m living by the mantra “fit by forty”, which will be in November this year.

Thanks for the incentive to restart WLW. I am checking in here to see what others find helpful, but also a friend from MI and I SD (where it is really COLD -20) are keeping each other accountable with what we eat. I am amazed at how little I have been eating and feeling great. Staying away from bread completely and that is difficult as I bake my own.
The only sweet I am having once a day is a little caramel round candy called Nips and they have 30 calories. Nice to have with a cup of coffee. I am also riding the stationary bike and doing Leslie Sansone’s one mile walk.
Best of everything to all of you!

I’d like to trim down & shape up by this summer; so, I can hike up Harney Peak with my family this summer! My plan is to do some in-home walking 3 x’s a week and Curves at least 2 x’s per week.

Help me! I’ve been struggling to lose weight for the past 5 years, and I can’t stop my indulgence in beef and pastries. My wife now thinks I’m a fat loser, and will not have sex with me! Please let me know any weight loss advice. My email is: msatyro@ucalgary.ca

I’m really confused. I’m stumped. I’m checking back in today, even though I did Wed. Wed it looked like I was right back to where I started. Understandable. I had exercised MTW, that was it. This morning I got back on the scale, I don’t normally and I am back down those 3# I had gained!? How did that happen?? I really wish I knew. Because if it meant I lose 1# every day I exercise, then I’d reach my first goal in less than 15 days! LOL It cannot be that easy!
Oh, and I am now a week before my period. I don’t normally retain water and never see weight fluctuations due to my cycle. So this is just a mystery to me.
