    Hi there! I'm doing well as far as calories and food go but I'm not feeling too hot. I was just wondering why actually. I have a dull headache and my tummy is a bit unsettled. *sigh* Very strange since I've been eating the same all week and this is the first it hit me. Other than that, I'm proud of myself for doing so well this week! Yay!

    Yep me too. I'm not feeling so great myself! My stomach is killing me - and it's not hunger. I've had a few headaches the past couple of days but curious if that's not because of my contacts or something. Or maybe a bug going around . . .. just what I need.

    I'm good on my water but have never realized how hard it is to find a decent snack to eat in house with 3 kids and a hubby with a sweet tooth. Fighting my hunger with allI have but the apple fruit pie things are eye balling me and calling my name. Temptation is a nasty thing....sooooo hungry and it's not like I haven't eaten....I'm just never pleasantly full anymore

    I am opposite. I love water and drink it all throughout the day without problem. It's that daggum chocolate that kills me LOL!

    Oh no! I didn't even think about it possibly being a bug. I did stop drinking soda 3-4 days ago but I'm still getting caffeine in the form of coffee. Maybe that has something to do with it? We are not allowed to get sick, people! :noway:

    ive had 560 of my 1530 goal. I just ate a lean cuisine - panini. it was very yummy. however, since starting I have been eating natural foods mostly made by me so my sodium has been very low. the LC had over 700 mg sodium and now im regretting my choice. oh well, cant do anything about it now - i hope i can drink water and flush some of that out (?)

    I have had 540 calories today and drank almost 2 large bottles of smart water (23.8 fl oz.). Doesn't seem like many calories but I had a v8 for breakfast and a glass of warm tea before lunch. Then had a ginger garlic chicken lean cuisine with baked lays chips.

    speaking of wine and beer...the weekend is coming and Im supposed to be going out for drinks..ugh but i dont know what to doo

    I allow myself alcohol 1 night a week now because I never stop with just one drink. Sad but true for me. I figure this is a lifestyle and I have to allow myself a bit of wiggle room or I'll end up binging on something and wreck it all. I give myself Friday nights for a "cheat" meal and some drinks with friends and then I'm all ready to go for the next week.

    Also, just to clarify, I was on Weight Watchers priot to joining this site and lost 15 pounds doing the Friday night "off" plan. It's never given me a problem and I think it keeps me on track and not feeling deprived.

    Forgot to add: I usually will get a gin with soda water, twist of lemon. It might be an aquired taste, but I love gin and can handle the drink. Try vodka if not.

    Hi I'm new here..

    Wow some of you are taking in some seriously low calories.. My limit is around 1,300 a day and I'm doing really well I think. This site is such a motivator.. I went over today so did some exercise to bring it down. Am really impressed. I've lost 3lbs already, although I'm sure some of that is water. I really couldn't go any lower with my cals.

    The more water you drink, the more you want/need it. I drink at least 6/7 bottles of 500ml a day - am always on the loo though.

    Yes, but what were you all drinking on your cheat night...because i dont like hard alcohol at all. so really all thats left is beer and thats bad.

    To be honest, it depends on my mood. During the winter I'm a big red wine drinker because I live in Michigan and flipping cold here! During the summer, I drink Miller Lite beer. I don't freak about counting all my drinks either. If I'm off then I'm off. This is something that I will be doing for the rest of my life and if I can't cut loose and not worry for a night then there is no way I'll stink to it. Maybe it will slow my loss down than if I totally cut alcohol or a cheat meal BUT this is a life that I can go the long haul with. It's really a personal decision but it works for me. :drinker:

    When the apple fruit pies call your name, act like the kids: Have selective hearing!! :laugh:
