Guest guest Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 Before I got my treadmill, when it was too cold to go outside, I would put on a cd and walk in place. Its not much but way better then doing nothing.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 ----- Original Message ----- From: " CLD " > HI...im lurker sussie... > > is the sugarbusters like atkins? Hi Sussie, No. Atkins is very low carb. Sugar Busters is very low sugar and carbs that act like sugar in your body (white flour, white rice, white potatoes, and corn). On Sugar Busters you are encouraged to have whole grains and fruit. Those items are limited more strictly on Atkins. I've been doing Sugar Busters for 3 weeks. I like it. I seem to be less tired and have fewer cravings. Atkins isn't for me but some people swear by it. Check the Sugar Busters book out of the library and see if it makes sense to you. Stop lurking and start posting! Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've talked to several people who have said that this year more people are having breathing difficulties due to very high pollen counts in our area. I'm crossing my fingers that this isn't a chronic thing for my little one. > > since can put Lynn to bed at 8 without > > having to deal with both kids. > > Will she go to bed without giving Mommy a goodnight kiss? If so, then I say > go for it! Oh yeah. They've been trained to go to bed without mommy since they were a few months old. At least 3 times per month I go out in the evenings for a much needed break (book club, Mothers and More meeting and mom's night out) a few other nights per month I'll go out and run errands in the evening. Even when I'm here often puts the kids to bed. I figure that I've been with them all day and he needs some quality daddy time. Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 Congratulations. Keep it going. I weighed in today with a 2 pound loss. I think we are getting the hang of this slowly, but did eat two Easter cookies today. Although, I did only eat two and I had garden vegetable soup for lunch (0 points on WW) and a piece and a half of cheese-less pizza (is that still pizza???? it was good whatever it was) who is cooking leftover ham for dinner tonight with a WW of saffron potatoes (husband had a hissy at the check out counter when the price for the saffron came up....I shrugged and said it is for a recipe in my WW cookbook...he said it had better be a good recipe ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll become less obsessed with the weight and pay more > attention to just eating the right foods for now. Good idea in theory but not for me. For one thing I have very few vices these days and I have no intention of giving up my Diet Pepsi or my scale. For another thing, I just don't trust Sugar Busters yet. I like it in theory but I need to monitor my weight to see what happens if I concentrate more on sugar than on calories. I want to see what happens if I stay on program for 5 out of 7 days or whatever. If I don't lose then I know I need to watch my portions more closely. Without the scale I won't have the feeback part of the loop. I went to 7 or 8 stores looking for a scale today. What a waste of time! The store were listed on the Tanita website but none had a good selection of models. They all had the expensive ones that measure body fat. I know my body is fat and I don't need my scale to tell me that! I'll order the basic model on line. > Sick again? Or is this just vomiting from the post nasal drip and the > asthma?

For one thing I have very few vices > these days and I have no intention of giving up my Diet Pepsi or my scale. > I'm just as bad. I talk about trying to hide the scale and Ed insisting I put it back, all the while checking out the scales for sale in Wal-Greens that measure body fat. I *am* addicted to that thing, and yes, it *does* tell me what kind of day I'm going to have. For instance, I ate on-program for a few days now, including getting all my water in AND exercise. This morning I had a 2 pound gain. In fact, it's 2 pounds *over* what it was when I weighed before going to bed last night (Yes, I'm really that bad - lol)! Tell me, how does one gain weight while sleeping? And it *is* accurate - Henry and Ed test it out all the time and we've even gone as far as putting 10 pounds of flour on it and gotten accurate readings. > For another thing, I just don't trust Sugar Busters yet. I did warn you that a lot of people said they gained for the first few weeks as their bodies got used to all the whole grains. Again, it should be long-term health and not just weight we should be concerned about. > I went to 7 or 8 stores looking for a scale today. What a waste of time! You may be better off with mail order, if you know which one you really want. > They all had the expensive ones that measure body fat. That's the *only* type I've seen in any stores lately. Either they don't sell scales at all or only have the ones with all the bells and whistles. I know my > body is fat and I don't need my scale to tell me that! LOL! I always say I don't need calipers or submersion takes to find out my percentage of body fat - just assume it's 90% fat and the rest skin, bones & blood. Calipers are useless when you can grab a handful! And I haven't been able to put my fingers around my wrist in decades! Even as a little kid I needed extensions on my charm bracelet! > She was fine afterwards. I don't know what upset her tummy. Must be something going around - Henry woke up like that this morning, although he doesn't believe it's the post nasal drip. He *does* have a big presentation in robotics class today so maybe it's just butterflies. Sue in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
