About grapefruit, to me it tastes sweeter to put salt on it. Try it, you'll maybe like it?

It's so great to read everyone's replies to this thread! Good luck, and keep on keeping on!

Fruit, definitely! Have you tried the EAS AdvantEdge carb-controlled "shakes" or other low-sugar shakes? They're really good, and quench that sweet craving. I mix the EAS shakes with 8 ounces water, to get extra water while still enjoying the sweet treat. I've ordered some stevia-sweetened vegetable protein-based "shake"…

Since I just recently started here I have only encountered that situation once, and kept my portions small. But I think the site has an app, that you can put on your phone, for such situations. I haven't done the app yet, though, so I'm not sure what it's like to actually use it. Good luck! Sue Ferguson

The calendar days are ticking past so fast! Soon it will be June, the deadline! The scales were very unfriendly last week :# So this week I'm shifting into high gear. I've decided to try "The Extreme Fat Smash Diet" for a few days. Is anybody else doing this diet? I would appreciate any advice!

Congratulations on those 35 pounds Louann that's a great accomplishment! I'm so sad you've had such a rough year. I hope the remainder of the year is a lot happier and non-stressful! Sue Ferguson <3

Awright! I know the time will go by so fast! The pressure of a deadline helps us stay focused! Go, Kmouse!

Zumba looks like fun! I'm mostly doing yard work, walking, free weights, squats. I'm not organized about it, just trying to move more and build up some strength and breathing. I got an ebook like nite that says to do deep breathing to help with weight loss. So I'm going to try that. Good luck to you!

smit7633 a whole month without meat sounds like a really healthy vacation for the digestion and intestinal system! Way to go with the commitment to health, and congratulations on those 15 pounds! no pink skirts I really enjoyed reading your post too, I like a lot of variety and love fruits and veggies. Best of luck to us…

Good luck, mrsz! Lots of low carbers here! Sometimes I do a low carb day, but I don't count fresh fruits or veggies.

Best of luck to you both, and thanks so much for sharing your experiences! This is really interesting and helpful!

hi and best wishes to you both! Good luck on the challenge! Sue Ferguson a.k.a. Fergy

Best of luck, Luke! What foods do you like? There are so many diets, so figure out what are your favorite foods, and do a lot of googling. You'll soon find a diet you want to try. Like, it might be paleo, or the 5:2 diet (it's big in the UK now!). Or low carb. Or The Warrior Diet. Lots of meat, no meat, lots of dairy, no…

Great question, AnikaNck! Chili and wings and a beignet with caramel sauce sounds like a great meal to me! lol I love reading everybody's different ways of doing their diet! It gives me lots of ideas to try, because I never know what might work. I dislike the word "cheat". I call it a high calorie day, or a non-fast day,…

I don't know, Kitty, but I hope not, because several of us (me too) just recently signed up, too! Best of luck to you!

Hi I'm Fergy (nickname). Too embarrassed to post a real photo. Joined MyFitnessPal today. My current weight as of this morning is 220 1/2 pounds. This is the most I have ever weighed, in my entire life. My height is 5' 5". Basically I look like a beachball. It's embarrassing and ridiculous and unhealthy. I hardly go out of…
