HELP HELP HELP.. I WORK OUT 2 HOURS ALMOST EVERY DAY BUT YET I AM STARVING.. PRESSURE FROM KIDS HOME WORK AND STRESS.. FODO IS HERE TO COMFORT.. PLS SOMEONE COMFORT ME AND HELP ME...

Food only adds to the stress! You eat it, then you feel guilt for eating it, then you eat more!!! I had to get back on the wagon after a horrible week of eating, so even if you have a bad day (or week), don't stress about it. You can reward yourself after a hard day with the kids, or after finishing a paper for school, by eating a snack sized suger-free jello snack (15 cal each)! We are all there with you, working on losing our weight, so don't give up!!! :)

Superbowl + Birthday + Valentine's Day = 1 pound gained this week. :( Getting back on the wagon, and I've still lost 15 lbs so far...
happyloser, 26 days ago
Woo-hoo! After 5 weeks I'm down 20 pounds! I've got 70 to go, but I know I can do it! Best wishes to all of you! Keep believing in yourselves!

Hi-I need to get my Doctor's verification. Must I go to a Dr on the healthywage website? Or is any Dr okay?
happyloser, 30 days ago
Any doctor is okay!

Hi! How are people posting info on the "friends/everyone" discussions? Like F for food A for their activities and mood level?
Mary, 1 month ago
Hey Marty, this is kind of a random question but I had a few thoughts on some things and was going to e-mail the site's peeps-in-charge but I can't find contact info anywhere on the site! For technical questions who can we go to? And if we want to see what our doctor input on the website for our info, is there a way to do that? Thanks!
Marty, the HW Coach, 1 month ago
Sorry Mary I thought I answered this the day it came up. If I did here it is again..We love feedback at healthywage out email address is info@healthywage.com

My name and photo is not in the members column on this page. How come? I thought I had joined this group weeks ago.
di2825, 1 month ago
I wonder if the pictures on the change as people join, like facebook friends, my guess it that there is not room for the 100 members in this group on the side of the page. One last thought does it say remove me, below the helth group tab, if not you have not joined this group.

My doctor's office called and said they entered my information today. Where do I find it?
colley, 1 month ago
It has been less than 2 weeks since I started this program, but I have already lost 3 pounds. My BMI just missed the cut-off for the monetary challenge
colley, 1 month ago
Opps! Hit the post by mistake! The rest of that sentence was ....... but I definately need to lose weight. The hardest part was just getting started. The second hardest part of dieting is to start changing bad habits. In my case I was doing a lot of mindless habit eating and not making good food choices. The first few days were a little difficult, but I decided to attack one problem at a time....first, the mindless grazing and the worst of my food choices. Now I am going to start working on improving the nutritional quality of my diet.

I had a salad for lunch...not the greatest salad... I might have to get used to this a bit.
happyloser, 1 month ago
Make sure you add protein to your salad--beans, a hard-boiled egg--so you'll have energy to carry you until the next meal. I also like to experiment with different low-cal dressings. And don't be afraid to toss unusual things in a salad, like slices of an orange. The tang is great with the greens! One last thing, the ingredients in a salad don't have to all be raw. I frequently "nuke" broccoli or a small potato and toss 'em on top of all of the other ingredients. Good luck, Charlie!
bevcharlotte, 1 month ago
It's going great!! I avoided my unhealthy snack habit today, and I am going to go for a walk with a friend after work!
bob79, 1 month ago
My wife and I are trying to do the contest but our doctor is unwilling to provide all of the personal information you are asking of her. Is this really on the up and up? There was a LOT of personal information you wanted from her.
bob79, 1 month ago
Hey Elle, I know what you're saying, but that is info that they want about us. The doctors have to go on to register and give info about themselves. I guess we'll have to doctor shop now to find someone willing to sign off for us.
Marty, the HW Coach, 1 month ago
Hi Bob, sorry you're having trouble. We try to ask only what is neccesary to verify the doctors' identity. The extra info is a hassle, we know, but it is worth it to prevent any fraudsters from impersonating doctors, etc. Hope that helps.
elle, 1 month ago
All I saw on the doctor's form that was needed was your weight, height, BP, and cholesterol info. I don't see how that's "a lot." I hope there's not more than one form and I have the right one.
stasia1982, 1 month ago
I am wondering how long it takes the weigh in results to show up on the computer. I weighed in about 9 hours ago... I am just hoping I did it right - and my entry will be valid. I am so excited!! I have lost 5 pounds this week!!
happyloser, 1 month ago
Congratulations, Stasia! That's awesome!
Marty, the HW Coach, 1 month ago
It's easy to tell whether you've weighed in---just click on "things I need to do" on top right (to the right of the timer), and you will see whether your weigh-in has been completed.
elle, 1 month ago
Ditto. My weekly loss doesn't show yet either. Maybe it takes a while?
stasia1982, 1 month ago
We are having a dinner party tonight. Any Ideas for fun, healthy, company food?
Marty, the HW Coach, 1 month ago
Throwing a healthy dinner party is a tough one. I like to start with grilled chicken or grilled fish, which form a nice low calorie foundation. I try to use spices instead of butter, oil and cheese, whenever possible. Fruits and sortbet or yogurt for dessert, instead of chocolate cake. Don't forget about a nice big salad!
colley, 1 month ago
Good Morning! Today marks one week on the program. Although I won't weigh-in until Tuesday I am sure I will be pleased with the results. Overall I have had a pretty good week. I have managed to control most of the cravings, eliminated most of the mindless eating, and by Friday had started exercising again. Hope everyone in the group has had a good week!
happyloser, 1 month ago
Woo-hoo! Just finished my first week and lost 7 pounds! Now the real work begins!
stasia1982, 1 month ago
7 lbs is so amazing! Keep it up! I would be so happy to loose that much! Any great advise - what helped you?
colley, 1 month ago
Fantastic!
Marie, 1 month ago

Everyone: what are you biggest reasons for losing weight?
MrsMc2010, 1 month ago
My weight has gotten out of control and I feel tired and awful most of the time. I want to look and feel great on my wedding day this year, and i want to be healthy enough to have kids and be around to see them grow up.
Takeoff50, 1 month ago
My health is the number one reason and I really want to feel comfortable in my body again and be able to do all the activities I used too.
colley, 1 month ago
Actually, my main reason for wanting to lose weight is to feel better. I am dragging around @30 extra pounds and it is a load I want to shed.
happyloser, 1 month ago
I agree, chunkie. And I want to be a positive role model for my daughters!
chunkie, 1 month ago
i want to be around for my family
elle, 1 month ago
How do I enter and save a homemade item in the food journal? I tried the pantry but if you don't have a brand name it won't save it--just the message "item not found"
colley, 1 month ago
Elle, just below the search box the is an entry "can't find food". Click on the message beside it "enter food information". That will bring up a screen where you can enter a new food and the nutritional information. Hope this helps.
