Hi, my name is Heide, and I am just getting started.  I have been reading the posts in this group and everyone seems so nice.  I am in need of a group and a buddy, but not really sure how to start.  If you have time can you give me some hints. 

Thanks,

Heide

Hi Gang, we've moved to ALOHA GROUP #8 (May 21). This thread is too long for me to keep up with old/new people (to do the Aloha Group member's list update), thus the need for the new thread. See everyone there! :)  DeeDee

Hey Gayle!!!  That's it!  Keep up the great positive focus!!!  Never forget that we are here to encourage you ever step of the way!  The great thing is that today is a new day...a refreshing day...a day with new beginnings!!!! 

Hope you are having a great weekend!!  Cindi

Hi Lorraine!  I can understand fully where you are at.  The best advice I can give you is to be patience.  Our bodies reach what is called a 'set point'.  It is the point where the body stops loosing for a little while so that it can get adjusted to the weight it has lost.  The time the body sits is undetermined.  It is different for each person.  I lost 20 lbs and just sat there stuck...for a very long time.  I was able to maintain until Easter and unfortuneatly, picked up 4 lbs.  Stayed stuck there forever until just a couple weeks ago when I finally lost 2 lbs. 

We'll be here cheering you on...so don't give up!!!  Cindi

HI all

Rainey /Lorraine/ Wasilla Alaska/48/ Goal weigh of 130

I have been on Slim Fast for a year now and have done really well with it bu tit is always nice to chat with others who are going through the same weight loss battle I have been battling my last 10 lbs for months  now I have lost 20 and for the last few months I stay the same, I walk everyday at lunch 3 miles I work out with a trainer 3 times a week at the gym and walk with my dog every  night but I keep going, any one with some ideas?

hi everyone.

weighed in today. actually gained a pound. I did myself in. My husband went out and got a slurpy and picked up a small hamburger (ate half) and fries. The only way I have lost weight in the past is to stop eating after 7. i love to munch, but that's my downfall. It was kind of depressing cause I fouind a food diary 2 years ago and i'm at the same weight and inches. So i'm starting again today. I think when I have huge goals I get so depressed, so i'm going to have a smaller goal by end of junefor 195 and to get out of the 200s. I'm stuck at 203 for 2 years! back and forth. If any one has been like me and succeeded to break through, please let me know how what you did.

I am going to walmart today and look into a slimfast snack that i could use at night. I tell myself to eat fruit for a snack but htat doesn't work so i'll see about their snacks.

bye! Gayle (mrs.mary Kay)

Hi Cindi

Things are great and we are halfway through the week.  Ladies I am learning to make better food choices and that is awesome.  I work at a call center for a living right now (from home) and yesterday I had a really upsetting call.  Usually, I would have reached for food for comfort.  I did go to the refrigerator on my break, but I closed the door.  I didn't reach for food to make me feel better.  I know that may sound trival,  but for me is it a great milestone in my life.   Have a very wonderful blessed evening Cindi...and my wonderful slimfast friends...much ...much ....love to you all...Gloria
