I have a family history of cancers, so I am kind of surprised they aren't doing anything.<BR/><BR/>yeah, when I was slim and could not gain weight for anything, that is how I ate. I had no choice. I got filled up pretty much instantly and was hungry every few hours. I just couldn't get more than a few bites in at a time. Always bothered me and when I "grew up" (about 6 or 7 years ago) and was able to finish entire servings of food in one sitting, I was just so excited that I took advantage of it! LOL Didn't stop to think about it much, since gaining weight had never been an issue. The weight came on gradually and I didn't really think much of it, part of me was happy since I had been really scrawny before. I am keeping a food journal and exercising a lot more, I am sure that will help. I am just very impatient and will need to learn more patience:) I appreciate your help and advice:)<BR/><BR/>Sillygirl-We have one, and it just got back from being fixed. We have tried and tried to find Wii Fitness but they are sold out everywhere. We checked today and one place said to call late next week, they should get another shipment. I am excited!<BR/><BR/>Jude-Thanks! I hope I don't need a sleep machine...that would be pretty uncomfy.<BR/><BR/>Debi-Sorry about your washer:( That is UNREAL! You guys have been through it, this is amazing! Your hubby looks nice in his uniform, btw:) Hope you all get well soon and yeah, the weight loss is unreal. The new diet for the younger two is interesting, to say the least. I made Clown some cookies last night and he HATED THEM! They are so odd...Jock likes them ok and has eaten a few! LOL I am glad David is better!Lowahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11014088685507756473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10017930.post-7028037535996630462008-06-01T16:31:00.000-07:002008-06-01T16:31:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lowahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11014088685507756473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10017930.post-47515034269206148642008-06-01T14:25:00.000-07:002008-06-01T14:25:00.000-07:00Holy cow about the food for the kids!

But, it was awful making different meals all the time (and expensive!)<BR/>UGH! I am so there on the weight gain!

I am seriously always whining about going to the gym but then I can never get motivated, but I've used the wii fit every single night for 10 days in a row so far...it's so fun and you don't have to leave the house, and you can do yoga, strength training, aerobics...its seriously the first time I ever thought I could meet my fitness goals for real.sillygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043018219366256919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10017930.post-81412114567326016982008-05-30T09:18:00.000-07:002008-05-30T09:18:00.000-07:00If I remember right, they don't start doing mamagr...If I remember right, they don't start doing mamagrams till your 40, so you have a LOOONG way to go right?<BR/><BR/>Couple of thoughs on losing weight. First, one of my co workers lost a TON of weight without eating less. How? She follows a diet designed for diabetics. Eat more often in smaller portions and watch what you eat kind of thing. You may want to look into that. Healthy and slimming at the same time.<BR/><BR/>Second, when I lost some weight a while back, the basics of it were pretty easy. You have 3 meals a day and a snack between breakfast and lunch, and another after dinner. The key was lean meats, fruits, and vegetables. Basically cut a out a lot of the fat and the junk food. Throw in some excersize and you'll be svelt in no time.sydwyndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08946337564713356442noreply@blogger.com
