Lol! I actually really like healthy foods! I even tried some "Worlds Hottest F'n Wing Sauce". I could feel the heat on my chapped lips and tongue, but no flavour at all. I told a friend to bring me some wasabi tomorrow if he comes to visit, it's the only food I can't stand. Actually went over on my calories, hoping that…

I don't know if I can get over the idea of a neti pot... my MIL uses them and she explained it to me, but I don't think I could do it! Omg, I've spent so much on OTC meds these last 3 weeks. I'm sure I'm doing damage to my liver by taking them, but my doc can't see me until April, and I don't want to go to a clinic because…

I'm sorry you are going through the same thing, but it makes me feel a little better to know that I'm not alone :)
-
Oh man, now would totally be the perfect time to try wasabi! I actually hate it lol, but if I can't taste it.... You are brilliant!
-
And I've been eating nachos with medium salsa, can't taste the heat, or the salt (really missing the taste of salt right now!!)
-
I did :( I love curry. Also tried onion and garlic soup. Nada!

Wow great job!

My last straw was getting everything else in my life figured out (see below), and realizing that I still wasn't happy. It was actually a get together with old friends that made me realize that my 'social cup' was empty. I now make it a priority to get together with my friends at least once a month, because I NEED that in…

I've lost 15# to date, and noticed last night while laying in bed that I feel 'lighter'. Normally I have to hug a pillow to prevent myself from rolling forward or backward while on my side, but last night I actually stayed put!

Everyone looks great! @immortalities I'm glad you are trying to fix your CW, you are beautiful in both pictures, but definitely underweight right now! Lol, went you get a goal, you really work hardcore! That shows a lot of determination, and I know that you will succeed in getting to a healthy weight! At 5'10", what do…

I believe that Fitness Blender (YouTube videos) has some weight workouts too

That's awesome, I'm so happy for you!!

@xstephnz I found that I was able to break that habit by drinking more water. I keep a 1 L bottle on the counter and reach for it when I feel snacky. I also got rid of any tempting snacky foods in the house. Took about 3 weeks for me to break that habit. In the meantime, try to keep cut up veggies on hand for when you want…

Just curious - is it possible to not sync the two? So for example, if I eat 1200 calories logged with MFP, and make sure that my Fitbit reaches 1700 calories burned throughout the day, then I could just keep track of my calories that way, instead of using MFP's exercise numbers?

I tell my kids "You don't have to eat it, but you do have to try it", and once they try something enough times, they actually start to like it. My 4 year old really doesn't like collards, and protests every time I serve them, but I just say to him that we are going to be eating collards in this house for a very long time,…

Maybe for you, but they definitely are not the same. I can tell when there is egg in food I've eaten because of how my body reacts. But there are a bunch of yard eggs I can't have either. I've actually only found 2 local sources of eggs that I can eat without a problem (one is non-gmo fed, the other is fed regular layer…

How I want to eat, and how I do eat are two different things. I really enjoy eating whole foods, (so so much!) and I'm working towards the goal of being able to grow all my own food for an entire year (including what I can 'put by' for winter). What I can afford to eat is different than what I do eat. Organic chickens…

@AlciaMode you still have lots of time to train for your 5k :) I have to delay starting too, still fighting my cold and today it seems to be getting a bit better so I don't want to stress my body and make it worse. Plus it's super cold here, we actually broke a record for the coldest day in recorded history (feels like…

@Swoopette maybe you're retaining water? Or maybe your skin is starting to shrink and feeling tighter? Or maybe your body has inflammation from the Coke or something?

Hey everyone! I'm so happy that people have replied! Lets use this thread to talk about our goals, trials, and successes. We can do this!! I started out with really aggressive goals (to lose 2 lbs a week), but I think I went a bit too hardcore because I ended up getting a bug that I can't seem to shake. I'm hoping that my…

I found it hard to stay within the 1200-1400 range too. Changed my calories to 1500 today, and I got that number based off what my 'maintenance' level would be when I reach 140 lbs (currently I'm 182 lbs). I figure if I can eat like this now, it will set me up for success when I actually reach that weight. And *hopefully*…

You were down 44 lbs, that's great! You've done it before, so you can DEFINITELY do it again! Don't beat yourself up, just analyze the habits/behaviours/stresses that caused you to gain, and try to fix them. You can do this!
-
Strength: I like to eat healthy whole foods. I think this helps my motivation a lot. Also, there are some foods that don't tempt me, so if hubby wants a treat, I encourage him to get the things he likes that I don't eat (he is 6'2", 165lbs with clothes on, at night. Guy can't gain weight at all. The other day he came home…

@Merkavar mine seem to have shrunk by putting castor oil on my belly a few nights a week (look up castor packs, but I never did the flannel and plastic, I always just rubbed it in then went to bed)

To the people who have gained weight and/or lost motivation, keep going!! You CAN do this, just pick yourself up, brush yourself off, and start over :) Don't let setbacks defeat you. We are here for you, and we KNOW you can do this! Just keep logging, own the bad days - they happen! Learn what your triggers are, and find…

This is what I'm having. It's totally budget comfort food. Chickpea and frozen vegetable curry, with an arugula and spinach salad. I *want* to be able to eat everything in the curry bowl, but experience has taught me that while the mind is willing, the body is no longer able.

Officially once a week, but I do also step on it at random times during the week

I actually find that reading things when I'm craving really helps. There's a motivational thread called "Things No One Told Me About Weight Loss" or something like that, it's great! And super long, maybe enough to keep you distracted until bed? And why are you craving ice cream anyway? Are you tired? Thirsty? Had a…

Maybe next time blend up the chocolate bar into milk and freeze :)
