1. Don't stock the snacks in your house. 2. If you are around them, make them a good reward, and not at all once. The snacks will be there tomorrow, and the day after. Reward stress with a fun dance, a song you like to sing aloud, a scream, chewing ice cubes, whatever. Don't reinforce your addiction with more food to…

I have to agree with Shadowfax over this. My own thoughts: Don't weigh yourself everyday. By doing that or even by obsessing over weight gained or lost, you are focusing on the numbers too much in a place where it doesn't count. Focus on you and feeling good about yourself. That's where all this should really come from.…

Hello! I'm Stephanie and I'm in my dirty thirties now. Took a look around at some of the older ladies that come into my work, saw that they use terrible methods to stay young. I suddenly realized that I wwas way too young to not enjoy life. My goal is to drop 40 pounds this year. Preferably by August or at the least…

Oh gosh yes. Counting calories, at least for a while REALLY shows you exactly how much you are taking in, and especially forces you to see that without calorie counting/portion awareness, you can have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that costs you 500+calories! My friend doesn't count calories and they assume a salad is…

K its funny looking at these because the pictures don't seem to match to what I see, but its all funny. The person above me likes jokes, and possibly tacos.

I agree here, but also know that while smokers know they smell, they are a lot like drunk people in that they think they have a handle on it, and that it isn't as bad as other people think. My sister would often bathe in aerosol spray when she came inside from smoking, and she still stunk, but she was adamant that she…

Also, fat off a chicken skin, and fat from an avocado are a little different in the realm of fats. I'll eat plenty of cherries and avocados, but I won't be sucking chicken skins off the meat like Cartman.

Uhhh...wow. Setting aside the obvious 'healthy' and 'not healthy' aspect of asparagus versus pizza, 'healthy' foods are foods that do not harm your body. Eating ice creams to fill my caloric intakw will give me diabetes. Eating pizza, pasta, and ice cream gave my father triple bypass surgery. Even if you work off the…

Hi all! I'm looking to lose 50 pounds by August/September, and change my lifestyle so the pounds do not come back. Please add me if you are looking for a friend with the whole lifestyle change mindset and not the 'just need to lose XX for that one time and then back to pizza I go' :P Remember to love yourselves no matter…

Can I join this 30's group? LOL I have until July to be in my 'healthy range' (personal goal) for me, that means losing another 30 pounds, giving me a range of 1-1.5 pounds a week. I'm so lazy and I love food, so this will be a challenge! After the healthy range, I want to lose an extra 20 to be sexy :P

I disagree. Considering how much natural sugar is in so many foods, if you eat alot of fruits, for instance, you should definitely be watching eating donuts and adding sugar to coffee or tea. It's SO easy to go over the very small healthy allowance of sugar, especially when you consider the sugars in foods that you don't…

Just a side note/question, if someone is very overweight, losing 5 pounds a week is less crazy, isn't it? For instance my roommate was 300+ and lost 120 pounds in a few months using some medical shake diet. Granted, he lost all his muscle, and the skin did not have time to repair at all, if indeed it could have. And yes,…
