05 diet support group?

Original post by JPC1125

On slim down, there used to be a online support group that was started to keep up motivation and encouragement.
It seems to have dissolved over time but since we 05 brides are still trying to lose those last few pounds before our weddings, I thought maybe we could give it a go here?

Is anyone interested?
I would start the weekly update threads but anyone can post whenever you need a boost or feel like you need some support.

What do you guys snack on? I have a cup of Kashi cereal and soy milk for breakfast at 6am. By 9, I need a snack. Any suggestions?

Hi Ladies! Can I join you?

I'm Christine

I'd like to lose 15 more pounds (lost 43 since Jan 1st)

So far I've done it by going to the gym to do cardio and lifting 4x/week, plus one day just for cardio, limiting carb and fat consumption, eating 5 small meals a day w/ lots of protein and veggies, drinking tons of water (about 12 glasses a day plus 2 glasses of green tea), etc. I hit a plateau for a wehile, but I made some adjustments and have lost 3 lbs a week for the last 2 weeks. Hopefully I can keep it up!


43!!! You go girl!!!!!!!



What a great accomplishment - you're an inspiration to us all - keep up the good work!!

I usually snack on Axelrod Fat Free Yogurt, the banana creme and cherry vanilla are my faves! My guilty snack is 8 honey braided pretzel sticks, they're only 2 ww points!

Went to the gym this morning and feel great! It helps that someone I haven't seen in a while is like 'you lost weight' though I didn't pound wise, it must be toning!

Rebecca - try carrots or flavored rice cakes

I don't know whats wrong with me but it has been so hard to stay on track lately..

I've been so stressed that I keep snacking even when i'm not hungry. I had rejoined WW...I want to take off 10 lbs of winter weight and it won't come off.

Even with cheating on WW a little i still am eating about 1400 calories a day AND i work out. What am i doing wrong?? 1400 sounds so low to begin with. For me to lose i was eating 1200...

I'm trying to not make a big deal..I think i'm healthy but when you have a goal and can't meet it its very disheartening.

Thanks ladies! Some good snacks include low-fat cottage cheese, zone bars, 15 pistachio nuts. We buy the cans of chunk chicken and mix it with 4 or 5 tablespoons of Just 2 Good Mayo and either honey, spicy, or Dijon mustard. A can makes 4 servings, and you can eat it plain, with a low-carb pita or wrap, or on melba toast. Yummy! And don't forget veggies!

Hang in there It will be ok. Take a deep breath. One of the most important things is that you are happy. You can't continue any kind of diet plan or track if you keep wanting to cheat. Try to start again, but slower. Take one week and do a test drive for two days working out and eating healthy, and then eat whatever you want the rest of those days. Then the next week, try another day of eating healthier. Try to get out of the habit of saying 'good' and 'bad' - that is not going to help you at all!! We are all here for you!! You will be fine!

Re: 05 diet support group?

I had a grilled chicken salad and it was sooo exciting

I am going to the gym tomorrow morning. I think we should all post every time we work out to motivate others. Like happybride and FMB going everyday motivate me to go more often. I only go 3 times a week and should kick it up to 5.

Try to make wise choices, no fried food, lots of veggies.

Applebees has a yummy Weight Watchers menu. I also love the salads at Fridays.
