unanimous! this stuff doesn't work. Log in here,get some friends, eat good food, journal, drink lots of water.

I feel your pain, 10 days no scotch. I do feel better in the morning LOL

diet coke is ok, but I don't use it as a replacement for pure water. Ok, drink the dcoke but drink your water,you will feel much better. If it is to boring try adding lemon/lome and ginger

asparagus, teas, less salt,more water with lemon and ground ginger. The ginger and lemon help with inflamation which could help reduce your menstrual woes and help retain less water. Good luck!

I said no to the glass of wine in the unopened bottle that has been there for 9 days,not that I am counting.LOL

you look fabulous Darling!! Kudos, have a wonderful life!!!

eat barley. Pearled has 6 grams a cup, hulled even more,It is healthy and tasted and is also good for constipation. Good luck. Look for barley soup recipes although I use it like rice.

Chia seeds are packed with nutrients. They also swell and make a gel when hydrated. Thus they fill you up.Do not try to swallow them dry they mix with salivia and can make you choke, very uncomfortable feeling. Do mix the in smoothies or spinkle on cereal start wit a scant tsp dry or up to 2tbsp hyrdated.More is NOT better

try eating wee.com or diabetes.com even if you are not diabetic their meal plans are excellent

flounder is very mild and it is thin so easy to cook. Dust lightly with flour or fine fish batter cook in olive about 3 min a side. Canned salmon(milder thanfresh) and onion pepper egg and a little 3TBsp bread crumb, form in to cake fry or bake

try juicing 2 small apples 3 carrots,1/2 lemon 1 tsp ginger. gives me a boost. If you don't have a juicer buy the juice and combine

also drink green tea and lots of water. But your rate of loss is great. If you cut too much you will most like fall of and eat some thing (or alot of bad things) give it time

we all started there. Hang in this web site is life changing,and free to boot!!

I gave it up for 4 days, had a horribly stressful day and chose Diet Pepsi over Scotch or wine. I am ok with that.But good for you!!

I am open, ashamed some times but open LOL.Add me!

I binge on veg first.If that doesn't work I go to air popped popcorn,Bluberries then tuna.I usaully am full before I get to the Kashi cereal,but I have eaten o whole box before. At least it is good food not junk! Good luck

go whole grain,my new favorite is barley.Alos brown and wild rice. Minute Made has a new mix of Quinoa,brown rice and wild rice. If it must be bread go for a very dense slow to digest bread like Ezickel, rye or pumpernickel. If I eat white bread I can't stop!!

where are you going?

log it!!!

Thanks for the cold brew info.

no soda since saturday!!

thanks for the brands. I got some green tea/peach from Panera yesterday and it is good. I also got some genric green tea and added lime. I think I got this!!

fried foods make me queasy. ^0 yr old gall bladder LOL, I maybe once a year

thanks to all. I have tried over the years to like tea. This is the first one I like. I will press on and find some thing I can brew that is tollerable.I think I will try the Arizona next, the move to brewed. Wish me luck and thanks for the advice!!

you can do this one step at a time. Look at others diaries and believe in yourself and this community. Be honest. Put everything down even if it is horrible food and over calories. That is how u learn.Good Luck!

I love these. I boil the noodles in broth. Take the noodles out,save broth simmer mung bean sprouts,snow peas,mushroom.Add PB2 or peanut butter 1Tbs,low sodium soy sauce 2-3 Tbs,lime juice,dash or more siricha sauce.Add back to noodle, cook briefly 1-2 minutes. Top with toasted sesame seeds and 1Tbs crushed dry roasted…

I have trouble getting back to excercise since my weight went up to 260 lbs. I am now at 227 and have started little. Look on line for things you can do with back pain. Start at 5 mins a day if that is what you can do. I started with 5 simple exercises and am working uo. Some thing is better than nothing.Good Luck

ordered uniforms work gave a voucher for. Down 2 sizes in scrubs. Off of one blood pressure med and one diabetes med(the expensive one!!)

drink lots of water,flavor with ginger and or lemon /lime. Ditch the soad/diet soda.I am still working on the soda. Down to one 16oz a day down from 1 liter a day.

good for you! I relate. I am not a slave to the scale although who doesn't like to see the numbers drop? I have lost 37 lbs over the last 13 months.I am ok with that. My cholestrol is now normal, my triglicerides are down from 320 to 120. I have dropped 2 medicnes and my A1c is 6.2( 7% is acceptable level)My blood pressure…
