Girlfriend,
I would love to see your weekly plan, but I just can't read a guide that is one letter/line at a time!
Anything that you can do?

I opened the links and saw what you saw but when I enlarged my window, everything was back into paragraph form and easy to read

If I misunderstood your dilemma, sorry that I wasn't any help.

It's kind of like Google is extending the ads all the way down, which squishes everything, even in a full screen... I don't know what you could do, really, but I'm thinking of copying and pasting into wordpad, so I can remove the ad...

I love that someone pointed this article out. I missed it the first time and have so very much to lose.... *sigh*

Taryn, sitting a squidge under 300 lbs...

Could someone who's experiencing this issue take a screenshot and send it to

contact @ budget101.com (without the spaces), so we can fix it- we need to know what browser you're using, which version the browser is (like FF 3.2, etc) also, if you happen to know what your Monitor screen resolution is set at, that would help greatly as well!!

Thanks

I'm starting slowly to lose weight. Most of my life I was thin and able to lose weight easily after each baby but since our middle child was brain injured as the result of his service in Iraq 7 years ago I'm sleeping odd hours and not as organized as I used to be and am having a hard time. I'm also an emotional eater so you can see where that's going haha I've been working on a plan that is slowly coming together for me. I used to never weigh more than 125 lbs but now wear 200 lbs.

First I'm getting on a sleep schedule that gets me at least 7 hours a day. I don't always get to bed before it gets light (I'm the night nurse) but it's my goal to do that because I sleep better if I get to sleep before it gets light outside. This is not as bad for me as you all might think because I've always been a night owl and am at my best from 6PM onward.

After reading Covert Bailey's books --- he's a biochemical engineer I think -- I've started riding my stationary bike for 15 minutes before each meal. This revs up your metabolism and continues to burn calories more quickly for some time after you finish riding. This worked for me the last time before our son was injured.

I'm eating the same food I've always eaten but am using a forced portion control. I never eat the food I've cooked for the current night's dinner. If I do I have a tendency to go back for seconds. I'm freezing my meals in the smallest square snaplock container which is 10 oz and eating from the freezer OR having a salad for all three meals. I was never much for breakfast foods so this works well for me. I'm never likely to go back to the freezer and thaw a second container of the meal I've already eaten no matter how good it tasted.

So I haven't lost any weight yet but I don't feel deprived, I have plenty of energy and my clothes are feeling looser. Maybe this method might work for some of you who are having trouble sticking with a plan.

I too am overweight. My weight came from wrong medicine prescribed, eating the wrong foods, eating too much, emotional eating and eating when I'm tired. I do not have the money for the gym and do not have a stationary bike. I have been off from work since Jan 31 and have gained more weight. Thinking of walking during lunch when I return to work on Monday - at least. I need more vegies in my diet too. Maybe we could join up and work together to lose our weight? They say it is good to have a partner who wants the same thing. Anyone?

If there is anyone who wants to chat privately about weight loss I'm Linda Prince Johnson on FB or maybe we want to start a forum? Not sure how to do that.
