I wish gum worked for me :), it usually just makes me hungry! Herbal tea sounds like a nice alternative to my diet peach Snapple..im going to try a tropical blend I found the other day while on vacay..it smells heavenly..

Hi, I have to lose that much also. Let's talk!

Did not do well today..Too many temptations, but I'm still doing better then I would normally do.

Actually Lynn what we were discussing is if eating a veggie calorie was easier for your body to burn then a bread calorie..if that makes sense?

uh oh :( It's just a bump. Get right back on!

[/quote]Yesterday we ate dinner way early, 4pm. So I was ready to raid the entire kitchen by 7pm. I settled on a quaker thin mint granola bar (about 100 calories), 4 tortilla chips, and a big mug of hot tea. By the time I was finished with the tea I was satisfied. My advice? Save some room for a late night low-cal snack.…

I think making one or two small changes, periodically will be more beneficial then trying to reboot your whole diet with mega changes all at once. For most of us who have issues with food, we need to work thru them and consider all the information that is out there and try out new things. For instance, giving up spaghetti…

Cool! Everyday you take care of yourself is a win! :)

Calorie counting works for me. It's a fact so you can't argue or rationalize with them :)

Today I blew it, 138 calories over my goal..but all is not lost! Tomorrow's another day :)

Need to lose over 100..i know my mindset is the most important tool I have, fairly motivated to make changes. I'd like to feel good again!

Ohhhh not ready for this thread yet!!

Better than usual, but Ive just started watching my calories..quite the revelation!

Currently looking for a really good Vegan Lentil Curry recipe??? Please share if you have one! Thanks!

Some of these will work for me. Thanks!

Tried raw, loved it but my hair fell out (literally!) I am also trying to go Vegan but it's difficult, I don't like beans :/ it's a real problem :/ Brown rice is fine, so is there any other protein source that is comparable to beans??? I don't like complicated recipes, simple is best for me.

Fiber, as in???? I've been eating carrots at night lately. I do like them but it's not a cookie :#

the holidays were my last big hurrah before getting serious about watching it! I actually did better this time then I usually do, but a cookie, is a cookie and I had them here and there! A cookie doesn't hurt, but what is hard is to stop at just one. They tell me that is what slim people do....stop at one :o Seriously?? :#

it's so weird, normally I skip breakfast, but when I am counting calories I am always soooooooooo hungry in the morning! Had cereal with some dried cranberries and 2% and so far that is helping...My big challenge is at night..omg..I've been told go to bed early :( yeah, right, that's pretty impossible at the moment! Does…

omg you are really deep into it :) ..i'm not sure what a macro is but I'm guessing it's fats, carbs etc.? I have a problem with carbs, fats, and salt :( From what I'm reading the kind of calorie counts, which means a veggie calorie burns much better then a bread calorie..not sure about this latest information. I was always…

Wow! Staying under is fabulous! I envy that you exercised for 30 :) I can barely do 10 B)

How are you today??? Are you counting calories or on another kind of diet?? The last diet I was on was weight watchers. I found that diet made me nervious, "points" made me nervious. I did lose on weight watchers but I wasn't very happy..not sure why :| Currently just using the calorie counter to see how out of whack I am…

Good for you Kat! Staying under your calorie load is the only way to lose! Being over on fat may not be a bad thing if it's olive oil, avocados or nuts..these are good fats! Salt is HARD :(

lula nights are usually the worse for me, but I want to lose so badly this time!

My stats-1st day-1,811 184 78 81 2,497 68 Your Daily Goal 1,630 204 54 82 2,300 61 Remaining - 181 20 -24 1 -196 -6 Calories Carbs Fat Protein Sodium Sugar I definitely overdosed on salt. It's a real weakness of mine! Sugar also! :( I have 181 calories left, hopefully, I will choose fruit or vegetables! I stopped myself…

1st day-ok so far I have not gone over daily calorie allotment for losing 2lbs a week and I exercised by walking 15 mins. Of course the night is young :(

How much is a stone? What kind of diet are you on? Thanks :)

Wow, great thread, I definitely have a chunk+ to lose (over 100). Would love to do it with company!
