Bananas (not allowed in my house...ever!) Avocados Oatmeal Cottage cheese Blue cheese Goat cheese Beets Quinoa Olives Tomatoes (except sliced very thinly on a sandwich...sometimes...if I'm in the mood) Jell-o Fake milk....almond, soy, rice, etc. (blech!) Regular milk except on cereal Any kind of yogurt Kiwi Liver or any…

To the OP....Oh gosh, I so totally understand where you're coming from. When I started this journey to better health just the thought of exercising made me depressed. BUT, I did what some of the other posters suggested...I kept at it until I found something I like doing and now it's still not my favorite thing to do, but I…

PF Chang's....I used to order their hot and sour soup all the time, until I discovered that one bowl has over 9,000 mg of sodium!! Why???? I mean, I know this type of food has a high sodium content anyway, but that's just ridiculous. Haven't touched it since.

I only eat regular foods and I'm down 38 pounds, with 7 more pounds to reach my goal. I don't even eat lite, low-fat, or reduced calorie foods....I just manage my total calories and try to incorporate more veggies...I also exercise at least five days/week. So far, so good.

Eat a good healthy breakfast every day, I did that over the Thanksgiving holiday and it really helped me later on the day when the temptations were everywhere...I was able to eat a little bit of everything but didn't feel famished....oh, and log everything!

My current situation *sigh*

I was diagnosed with PCOS in 1999. After many years of struggling I finally came up with a weight loss formula that seems to be working (20.3 lbs down so far)....I've drastically reduced the amount of white foods and sugars and I've made exercise a routine. In the past I focused on how much I ate, now I have to be…

I used to be a perpetual grazer....eating all throughout the day even if I wasn't hungry. Now, before I put anything in my mouth I ask myself, "Is this worth it? Is this thing I'm about to put in my mouth worth the calories?" I've actually spit stuff out of my mouth and thrown it in the trash because I just didn't think…

Even though I really didn't feel like it, I got up at 5:15 this morning and did the 3-mile Walk Away the Pounds....also, I can finally fit into a cute red dress that's been hanging in my closet for a while! I'm taking it to the cleaners today so I can wear it on Saturday. Yay!

Awesome!! What an inspiration.
