One day at a time. You are doing great so far!

Click their name then when something pops up click their name on that. It takes you to their page where you can add them.

I have to agree with Annie on this. Why do you need to wait? You probably won't be happy with someone who would judge you based on weight anyways. What if, God forbid, something happened that limited your mobility and you gained it all back? It's not your weight that is the problem, it's your confidence in your worth. I do…

Thank you

Slow and steady. Like everyone else is saying. I saw excellent advice today on another site.. Write down what you CAN do and do just that. No matter how many or how few you do, write it down. Then wait 30 seconds before going to the next doable item on your list. Do this for a few days then up everything by 1. Do that for…

Do you feel like you are missing out? I like the free version. I have no need for the paid. If it were a one time fee then MAYBE but monthly? Yearly? Not worth it. They would do better to offer a one time fee for the added features then offer a monthly subscription to access trainers and dietitians or diet plans with…

I havent been. But I havent felt hungry enough since adding more protein. I just hope it means faster weight loss..

Now THAT is the hardest thing to do! Have an open diary and still be HONEST! I may not COMPLETE the diary, but I still leave it open, and I still give an honest account.. even if I do have to wrestle with myself to do so. But I need to stay honest with myself and need to have it open for others to browse.

I dont know if it keeps me more accountable and I have yet to be "defriended" even if I make mistakes.. I just thought it was polite to keep it open so others can see that they arent the only ones struggling with this. That, and if anyone WANTED to take a look and saw a pattern they could help me with or advise me on,…

Hamburger helper? Thats ..gross. It taste cheap.. Your body isnt use to "healthy" options. Consider it a detox of sorts even though it is only replacing lunch. It will take several weeks for your body to adjust. When you start a pet on a new diet, the vet recommends mixing the old food in with the new for the first few…

Pretty eyes. And smile.

Correct. 1200 calories is 1200 calories. But the reason for higher protein or fat is because carbs leave you hungry later on while the other two keep you full all day. (I am learning this and loving this).. But if you are in control of what you eat, you can eat 1200 calories of pastries and be fine.. maybe bloated and icky…

Eh, Ill add you.

Use the recipe builder to build your own recipes with what you use and then plug it in. Just used it today on my sister in laws crockpot chicken chili. Made it easier than doing it by hand each time as she uses the same items and amounts every time she makes it. Wish she would drop a can of chili beans though.. man those…

Depends on the calories. Mustard, probably not. I mean, youd have to pour it on to make a dent and then the sandwhich is eww.. creamer.. YEAH.. 1tbs of my favorite hazelnut creamer is 60 cal.. I take 4. I HATE less than that and cant drink the coffee without it. So pretty much my breakfast consists of coffee and yogurt or…

I lowered my carbs and upped protein. Fat was already where it was suppose to be. The fats you want should mostly come from fish, avacado, seeds, nuts.. and less from veal, beef, and other bad fat sources. You want monosaturared and Polyunsaturated fats. Saturated fats are ok on small amounts but trans isn't good at all.…

I'm lactose intolerant but hate soy so I use my daughters lactaid milk which is cows milk with the lactose protein taken out. But I also buy frozen fruits and use that and make a fruity protein shake.

You said you are currently seeing someone? Casually mention him the next time he hints at you two hanging or demanding to know where you are headed. Just laugh if he mentions glasses of water or smoking or something ridiculous and say you will have to get the ok from your boyfriend or "yeah, don't think my man will be…

Reaver -To plunder.. Reverie -To day dream. Combined it is Reaverie. To plunder dreams.

It gets very exhausting worrying constantly about "calories" and "healthy options" and "did I exercise enough".. thats why diets never work. You change your lifestyle so it becomes the norm. This isnt easy to do. I have a great memory thankfully. I know the calories (and prices) of just about every food I like. And those I…

First, congrats on coming back. Its those that give up completely that are losers. Winners cant be kept down, even if it takes awhile to bounce back. Second, if you are truly ready and motivated, you dont need others to motivated you. You have it set in your mind already that with or without help, you are doing this and no…

I don't know what it's like to want to eat at night (I'm lazy.. I'm enjoy sleeping to much), but I have changed my mornings. When I was overweight at 21, I would get up at 6am with my stomach burning and clawing. It was so bad I couldnt move right away. It was agony. Then I had to grab SOMETHING, even a handful of cereal,…

I'm sorry you don't like that I'm not sugar coating my response to her like most everyone else. I can't help it if you care so little about others that your response is always in favor of what the other person wants and not what they want to hear. I'm trying NOT to kill her. She posted NO STATS and no pics when I asked her…

Gross. And I am allergic! So bonus. I dont have to suffer with that vile vegetable! But that doesnt mean other people are wrong for liking them. My kids are nuts for their veggies.. even the gross water ones.

Too much? There use to be such a thing as no transportation. Now ask yourself that same question.

Yes. You can stop having periods from excessive weight gain or excessive weight loss. Here is a kicker.. I started this a month ago.. NO weight lost. I went from couch potato to walking 2 miles EVERY day and went from not paying attention to what I eat (other than to realize it was a lot of soda and junk food) to being WAY…

You can look up healthy crock pot recipes, measure everything out and count the calories, then divide it into freezer bags saving some for dinner. Or if its just you or one other, set it up the night before to be started (store the insert in the fridge), then start it before you head to work on low. Same goes for…

I hated stretching in PE. I STILL hate stretching! So I dont do it. When I do stretch, I am too tired to do the actual workout. I have never gotten injured from not doing them. Closest thing to stretches I have ever done was pilates and even then I fast forward past the exhausting stretching portion and go straight to the…
