Hi, I am into week 3 and I struggle every day. I don't know how the friends thing works but feel free to add me as a friend. Good Luck

I do the same thing. I enter the food before I eat to make sure it is worth the calories. I found a great low cal popsicle at Food Lion if you have a bit of a sweet tooth on snacks. It is the strawberry and it has 70 calories, no surgar but carbs and no protein so that is the pitfall. It's called Whole Fruit and they have…

My sister just had half of her thyroid removed about two months ago. She got along very well in recovery. She sees an endicronologist on a regular basis so she was concerned about the weight thing because they had just gotten her thyroid regulated in the last year and she had lost a lot of weight. The doctor told her that…

Last night, I was craving confort food like chicken and rice soup. When I looked up the calories ect for just 1 cup I was shocked. So, I cooked some regular white rice, opened a can of Harris Teeter Sweet Peas and a can of Swanson 98% fat free white chicken breast packed in water. I put the entire can of chicken and broth…

I am about 2 weeks in but I have learned one thing - you have to count everything you eat. I have started entering food I want to eat before eating it so I can see what the damage is. If the damage is too bad, I just delete and try another until I find something that is diet friendly but taste good. Whether I lose of not,…

You need to love yourself scars and all and you may need some professional therapy to do that. A lot of people do so that is nothing to be ashamed of. In your photo, you look very young so you probably won't understand what I am saying right now. The point of being healthy is that one day, you will have your own children.…

Wow, I don't know how you stick to 500 calories a day so I can't offer any tips other than good luck. I have trouble staying at the 1480 calories a day for a slow steady pound per week loss. Glad to know you are under the care of a doctor because I would think at 500 calories a day, you need to be monitored on a regular…

Hi, What kind of class do you take that burns that amount of calories? Thanks

Same here. I am past 50 years old and had some major health problems five years ago and had to retire from work which means I don't and can't move as much as I have in the past. I have slowly put on 45 pounds in the last five years and seems like everything I have tried that worked in the past just didn't work and…

I forgot this on my first reply. On your hands and joint aches, it would not hurt to see a dermotologist on the blister thing. If it is the beginning of Psoriasis (sp?) that is a sign of an auto immune disease. However, it could be that you are allergic to something and allergens can cause other things like joint aches. A…

The short answer is your husband's family needs to quit putting pressure on him. He may not realize it but the pressure put on him by his family is spilling over to you causing you to have more health problems as in depression. Maybe if you explain this to your husband he will explain it to his family and they will back…

There are different kinds of fat. Some are good - Trans Fats are bad. Trans Fats are fats that are solid until heated like Lard, Crisco and Shortening. Real butter has saturated fat . If the brand is Country Crock, it is probably margarine and not real butter. Both have a lot of fat but I would rather have a slither of…

Things that help me - sugarless chewing gum, black coffee, water and my favorite - eating crushed ice. I like the crushed ice plain but you could add a low calorie juice or drink and make it like a snow cone.
