Lost another pound....and 10 calories.
So I lost another pound this week (woot!), so I decided that I should go to the "update diet/fitness profile" (under "settings") to see if I'm still eating the right amount for my weight, since I have lost a few pounds, and when I pushed "continue", without changing any of my settings, it took me from the 1370 calories…

Freaky taste in my mouth!
Just curious if anyone know why I have this bad taste in my mouth since I have been dieting. I haven't been taking any supplements and I recently had my teeth cleaned.

Do you ever wonder....
Do you ever wonder if you're encouraging someone to lose weight- when in reality you shouldn't be encouraging them? Maybe it's just me and my anxiety/paranoia/ocd/trust issues/whatever but tonight I was looking at a profile of someone who recently joined the site. Their picture would lead me to believe they have NO weight…

I Can Make You Thin with Paul McKenna
a fried told me about this, so yesterday i watched the series. it seems to make sense: 1. when you are hungry, eat 2. eat what you want, not what you think you should 3. eat consciously 4. when you think you are full, stop. some of the hypnotic techniques seemed a bit odd to me, but the general principles seem to make…
