When Did You Notice a Difference?
How long into your weight loss journey did you see and feel results? Like your pants being looser, etc? What is the first thing you noticed?
-
sugar
I am having trouble staying within the sugar limits I get. But I think part of the problem is because this calorie counter doesn't know the diffference between the good sugars and bad sugars in food. How can I keep a more accurate count? Sugar and fat are two of my main concerns.

drinking water
I have a hard time drinking enough water, I just get bored with it. Can I add something to it so its not so boring but still counts for my water? I'm always seeing the crystal light packages that you pour into your water does that still count for your water?

Looking for a partner for support
I know I can do this alone but it would be easier with a support partner. Just need someone to vent to Iand I can help too. Not looking for someone who only needs to lose a couple pounds but rather someone who know it is time for major weight loss.

The hanging belly!
Ok, so... I know there has been discussion here before about the excess skin after weight loss and the concern if it will go away... I have recently realized that one of my self sabotaging thoughts was that since my belly hangs down (and even folds over! :embarassed: ) I will still have that folded hanging skin once I lose…

Shared with you from DWLZ.com....great tips!! 1. Make a bet with or co-worker to see who can drink more water during the day. 2. Have a big glass of water at every transitional point of the day: when you first get up, just before leaving the house, when you sit down to work, etc. 3. Make it convenient - keep a big,…

Does anyone know how to add a friend?? I keep reading people say about adding friends but i can't seem to figure it out. Thanks!

A little off topic...
It's not right, this feeling you have. You aren't sure when it came to this. Maybe weeks ago, maybe much longer. All you know is, this feeling is not right. You call. The other person doesn't answer. You wait for a return call and eventually it comes, but it's hours later. Maybe even days later. You ask why the person…

Need answer, can anyone help?
Alright the last three weeks I lost 6lbs, this week I think I've gained about 2lbs back. I've been following my diet, if anything I haven't been eating enough maybe. I've been working out fairly hard, been packing 60lb pack four times a week four miles each time. Plus been doing some calisthenics on the side. I would think…

Quitting smoking...
Okay, so I've decided that it's time for me to quit smoking. I've cut down to 4-5 cigarettes a day to start weaning myself off of the nicotine slowly. I've contacted my doctor about starting the prescription, Chantix, to help me as well. I know I can do it...if I can find the willpower to exercise and count 1200 calories a…

Triumph!
I had a retreat this weekend with some friends out on a beautiful ranch in the Texas hill country. It was an overnight, Sunday to Monday. Sunday is usually my "day of rest" when it comes to this new lifestyle; I don't count calories or worry about a workout. I knew we were going to have lots of junk food and sweets and…

Hard one
An old man woke up in the middle of the night and found, to his utter astonishment, that his pecker was as hard as a rock for the first time in two years. He shook his wife by the shoulder until she woke up and showed her his enormous boner. "You see that thing, woman?" he happily exclaimed. "What do you think we ought to…

I'm training for a half marathon--I've done these before, so the exerience isn't new. I'm dilligently recording my training along with…

I think we have the flu!
:sad: I just want to cry! I'm a big baby when it comes to being sick! My two year old boy got it first. I'm about two days behind him, so I am able to watch him and see what I'm about to go through. It's so hard to see your kids going through something like the flu. We have been sick so many times this year. I think I have…

How do I say it politely?
I am getting really tired of people pushing cakes and cookies and junk on me, and getting offended when I say “no thank you, I am on a diet.” People say, “you look fine, you don’t need to lose weight, one piece won’t hurt you, or tomorrow is a new day.” Or they say, “You don’t need to diet, just eat right and exercise.”…

Drinking water?
Does drinking water really make that big of a difference? I drink water but not the recommended eight glasses. Would that make that big of a difference?

A couple of laughs
Honey A teacher was working with a group of children, trying to broaden their horizons through sensory perception. She brought in a variety of lifesavers and said, "Children, I'd like you to close your eyes and taste these." The kids easily identified the taste of cherries, lemons and mint, but when the teacher gave them…
