Wednesday Nov. 16 QOTD: Do you drink caffeinated beverages? Why or why not? Do you feel like it helps or hinders your weight loss or neither?
I do, not because I like them, if there is a non caffeinated option, I do try to pick it. Since being diagnosed with diabetes ages ago, I had to give up a huge juice habit. At the time I swapped to diet soda and most of those have caffeine. Last May, I decided to cut pretty much everything out of my diet that wasn't water or propel. I noticed a weight loss within the first week. I did this for about a month, but I am not a good water drinker. So it did not last.0 -

I drink caffeine once a day, in the morning. Sicne I have started this journey I have had one major drawback and that is Pepsi. I honestly feel it is the caffeine, though. I will usually do goos for a few day, have my horrible caffeine headaches (because that is truly the ONLY caffeine I get), and after about 4 or 5 days I am drinking it again. I know that Diet Pepsi is a lower calorie option, but I know to optimize weight loss NO Pepsi is the best Pepsi. So, for the past couple of weeks I have been drinking a cup of hot green tea in the morning, and then a decaffinated cup of hot green tea in the evening. I think that the green tea is helping my weight loss, but I have been told that caffeine hinders it. I have noticed, though, that I sleep much better at night limiting myself to just the small amount in the morning, and I am not craving that Pepsi anymore. I think it can be alright in moderation, just like everything else. I am hoping to eventually work up to no caffeine, but I am not in a big hurry.

Oh I am so bad with jokes. Here goes!
DIET PILLS"I'm prescribing these pills for you," said the doctor to the overweight patient, who tipped the scales at about three hundred pounds. "I don't want you to swallow them. Just spill them on the floor twice a day and pick them up, one at a time...."0 -
Wednesday Nov. 16 QOTD: Do you drink caffeinated beverages? Why or why not? Do you feel like it helps or hinders your weight loss or neither?
I go through phases. Most of the time I drink only water or unsweetened macha tea which I log as water. In the fall and winter I really enjoy a couple of cups of coffee in the morning some days. Depends on my mood and how radical my schedule is for that day. I don't typically do soft drinks though I confess to loving diet Mt. Dew which I think is full of caffeine. I may have 2 or 3 a month and sometimes not that much. There are mornings when I feel that the coffee give me the little extra energy I need to fit some excercise into a busy day so in that regard I would see, yes it helps. Additionally I am discovering I am doing better without eating a big breakfast and my green drink and a hot coffee or tea keep me satisfied until I get genuinely hungry. Wish I had started doing THAT 8 weeks ago:) Ha, live and learn!0 -
QOTD 11-15
What was your goal at the start of this challenge and do you feel you've gotten there?
I didn't really have a goal; I just wanted to lose as much as possible. I have lost over 13 pounds since the start of this challenge, so I am pleased.

No, I do not drink caffeinated beverages. I stick to water, and teas (caffeine free) mostly.
I don’t think caffeine affects me much at all, I just don’t care for it.0 -

Having lost weight over the past few years, a lady was discarding things from her wardrobe that no longer fit.
Her seven-year-old niece was watching as she held up a huge pair of slacks.
"Wow," the lady said, "I must have worn these when I was 183."
Her niece looked puzzled, then asked, "How old are you now?"0 -

QOTD 11/20/11 - Do you take supplements on a daily basis? Do you find it helps or hinders your weight lose goal?
Just like weight lose, sometimes I am on again and sometimes I am off again. When I am on, I take calcium, vitamin D, Magnesium, and Omega 3. For some reason, I find that if i take my supplements, I excercise more, eat and sleep better. My doctor calls it "expensive urine".0 -
QOTD 11/20/11 - Do you take supplements on a daily basis? Do you find it helps or hinders your weight lose goal?
I don't take any supplements. I work to eat a balanced diet as often as possible. But really, I just have a hard time taking something on a regular basis (vitamins, medicine, birth control, etc.). I just don't have the discipline to do it. However, I don't feel it has impeded my progress as I have generally met and exceeded my goals throughout my journey so far!0 -
QOTD 11/20/11 - Do you take supplements on a daily basis? Do you find it helps or hinders your weight lose goal?
Me too - A with weight loss, I am on again; off again. When I am on, I take a multi vitamin, calcium, vitamin D, Magnesium, and Omega 3. For some reason, I rememeber to take them. Good thing I don't rely on BC pills or I would have a herd!!0 -
QOTD 11/20/11 - Do you take supplements on a daily basis? Do you find it helps or hinders your weight lose goal?
Yes, I try. When I take them I do think they help me. Even if I find myself cheating, I find I still can lose weight. It's like I never ordered pizza and hot wings. I know, sad. But, this is my cheat food.0 -
