Wow, congratulations to all of you and thanks for starting this thread. What a motivational way to start the week! I only started last week, lost already 6 lbs though, but still 50+ to go! I can tell the difference in my face already, so cant wait to lose more. Thanks again and keep the good work up!

Try the following: stirfry in a little olive oil all kind of veggies. Turn the stove on low and leave to simmer. Add all types of herbs and spices. Then blend to a sauce. Use for either pasta or lasagna sauce or as a pizzasauze. If you make a very thin crisp bottom for pizza and put not too much cheese on top, you can use…

Maybe you are so negative about yourself and disappointed and so critical with the diet, that you are eating because of the stress! Let it go a little! You deserve to look nice now, even if you are not a your dream weight. So stop being your own enemy, treat yourself with makeup and nice clothes the way you think you will…

Hola Jesus, madre mia, que cuenta! If you stay focused and get in touch with some nice people here, for sure you will lose the weight, no problem! If you do have time during the day, start a profile on Pinterest and find interesting articles on health. (you might want to follow me on Odile Horjus and start reading my…

I was just wondering checking your profile, are you real? no other pictures, no friends, no profile filled in, not a real diet, not a goal work and travel? I ve been for years in the travelbusiness, never met people like you reading these posts, but maybe my English is not well enough to really understand the discussion...

You lucky Americans, in the Netherlands we dont have those squeeze bottles and the pic from Larali makes me go crazy. I check on Pinterest for inspiration and love the lemons, cucumber and mintleaves in a big jar to flavour my water! but I sure will start ordering in some of those powders by mail!

I had a talk about emotional eating with a 'skinny' friend. she even admitted that when she was down she would start overeating. What I picked up from your comments is: you have a baby or toddler and you mentioned "treated myself more". So you see, you are probably at a point where you have enough pressure to be eating…

Eating a lot of sugary food makes me hungrier. As i eat less sugar, i am feeling less hungry but i still have 3 pieces of fruit a day. It's important for me to eat some carbs e.g. bread or potatoes or rice and some protein and some fat or oil with each meal so my appetite doesn't go crazy. Low fat diets are as stupid as…

Yes I could enter stair-treadmill and calisthenics!! perfect!

Thank you all so much for helping out! Nerdeee I bought for only € 45 (in dollars about the same) a Razer Nabu X I hope that you will have some possibility to buy an item like that in the future. My phone doesnt allow me though to put the app on and I wont buy a new phone either!! Sometimes nothing wrong with old fashioned…

I think looking at your diary youre doing okay, I would recommend you to check on Pinterest some foods that are actually really good to burn calories, meaning when you eat them your body has to work for them e.g. cucumbers. You can follow me on Pinterest Odile Horjus and read my board Fit food It will give you loads of…

haha, I win 3 out of 3!!

Diet is difficult as it is, I like smoothies, so I drink them, makes my life on a diet a little special while getting loads of vegetables. About saving money: I go to the market and buy loads of veggies&fruits for as cheap as I can. At home I make portions with loads of kale,spinach, fresh ginger, carrots, red beets and…

I just posted a homemad pizza recipe on the board Diet and weightloss help, this is the good variety of pizza addiction!

Thanks for telling me Rabbit, but since everyone is screaming that they so miss pizza, I thought my recipe needed the spotlight!!

Now I get it!! so actually, I should log my activities at the end of the day in order not to get confused actually. I do have an activity tracker, its the Nabu X utility bracelet from Razer, I just started using it, but since I have a very old phone..... I use MFP on my laptop and the Nabu X on the Ipad of my son. The app…

Are you already on Pinterest? It gives you so much information about diabetes and the foods that can be of positive influences. I read loads of articles and blogs from people with gluten allergies for example. Also I saw this cool list what to do during commercial breaks, sooo funny so a real good idea mentioned by…

This is the best ever, since its lowcal and so delicious!

First of all: please see your doctor! Please start reading on Pinterest all the different blogs and articles about fibro if you re too scared to go to your doctor. First thing with fibro as far as I know is to get enough sleep!! Furthermore certain foods are not very good for your system, so please make sure you take good…

Hi Cat, I started yesterday and I need to lose lots of pounds, but in the meantime I also want to meet interesting people who will keep me busy with stories and away from all that food. So please add me, cause I would love to have some friends to kick butt.

Hilarious all these comments. I think you just have to find a balance, you know you are a very responsible person when it comes to taking care of your food, so allow yourself to throw in the the cats dish and then the trash. Take a deep breath and thats it. For keeping your fresh ingredients as long as fresh as possible,…

i just started yesterday, but there are loads of nice people here to meet. Just add me as a friend and start going. good luck.

I am laughing, not at you, but it sounds exactely as pregnant women: they go totally nuts with everybody giving them advise. You know what is worse: being fat and people starting to tell you about this wonderful diet, Im like Did I actually ask this? Once I reacted to the person: well, I know a very nice store where they…

Scary story, good to know people took care of you. I agree about the too much water story. Some types of drugs dehydrate so badly that you drown yourself by overdrinking. It is as scary as it sounds and was told to me by a friend who works in the ER. In Amsterdam, I am Dutch, they are traffic signs, not kidding, at certain…

well, maybe you should just forget the excercise and fully enjoy the children and the time spent together... by the time you have during the holidays space to practise it means they have moved out and you will feel sorry for yourself you didnt spent even more time with them when you had the chance.

I am exactely like you. Totally hyped up and its only the second day.... Couldnt sleep last night, posting as a lunatic on these boards. So now I have my mantra: brake down, slow down, one at a time... it helps I am recovering from a burn out, so last year I got all the time ill if I started sports or got on a diet. This…

I assume your kids can read, so let them read this: KIDS, YOUR MOM LOVES YOU VERY MUCH, BUT NEEDS ONE HOUR A DAY TO DO HER EXCERCISES. DURING THAT HOUR YOU CAN NOT DISTURB HER. I REPEAT DO NOT DISTURB HER, ONLY IN CASE OF SOMEONE DYING OR THE HOUSE BURNS DOWN. SHE WILL REWARD YOU, WITH KISSES, HUGS, THANK YOUS AND A REALLY…

Hi Tara, interesting question. Im thinking of starting a blog on this subject. I live in the Netherlands and my cateringcompany went bankrupt, so I do actually go to get food from a special government place (aka foodstamps). I am very grateful for this food, since it saves me loads of money and Im even more grateful to be…

The secret: home made Dough: make a huge batch and stick a part for next meal in the freezer!! ingredients: 1 bag of flour, little bit of oil, oregano, pinch of salt, some milk (I use powder,…
