Today for lunch, I had a banana, an apple with peanut butter, tea, water, and some pistachios. In other words, I was running late and needed something fast. lol

I'm not new, but I'm starting over, so I guess that kind of counts. Add me if you wish. I log everyday and spend most of my workday on here!

5 ish pounds, but it's just bloat. About a week after, that weight is gone and I'm no longer the antichrist.

Let me know if any of this works. I have zero booty... No fat, no muscle. I look like a frog wearing jeans. Picture that.... There's your funny for the day.

You can add me. I start out everyday logging. Sometimes I fall off toward the end of the day, but hey, who doesn't occasionally fall asleep at six pm for a "nap" that ends up lasting 12 hours?

You can do anything you put your mind to. Feel free to add me and I will try to make suggestions. Have fun with it. Focus on your goal. Never be afraid to ask questions.

I'm starting over as well. I lost almost 60 pounds and gained back 40 of it... Add me if you'd like. I try to be available everyday, but some days are better than others.

Once in a great while, it's fine. I wouldn't make it a regular occurrence. I have high arches, so running barefoot for long distances kills me. Arch pain for days after, waking up with calf pain in the middle of the night, horrible! But... I do regularly walk barefoot around the yard and down the street and don't have any…

Bourbon with one rock, please.

I just want to be able to wear shorts without my crotch area attempting to devour them. Unfortunately, even the skinniest of my family members don't have a thigh gap and bone shattering reconstructive surgery just isn't worth it, so I will have to continue pulling my shorts out from the great beyond. If you got it, flaunt…

The price doesn't go down a ton until you hit a single D. I'm a DDD and I easily spend $50/60 on a bra. They aren't even that cute! You can't get cute ones until you're down to a C or want to spend a ton of money! GRRRRRR.....

I take melatonin and diphenhydramine to sleep at night. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

Are you waking up hungry, thirsty, needing to pee? Is there a lot of background noise in your home? You can always take a melatonin half an hour before bed. That really helps me. My big problem is leg cramps waking me out of a dead sleep. I have started drinking a few glasses of water and eating a banana before bed and…

Even after I dropped almost 60 pounds, my boobs never shrank. The band size went down, but not the cup size. Now I've gained almost all of that weight back and they haven't changed at all. I don't know why mine never left, but I kind of wish they would have. I don't want saggy boobs, but I'd be happy if I could go down to…

A cinnamon raisin mini bagel with cream cheese, 2 glasses of water, and a handful of vitamins. Yum...

Do you want to lose safely and keep it off? Or just lose it fast and have it all come back after the wedding? If you want it gone fast, cut your calories to 500 a day and exercise as much as possible, survival mode. You'll feel like crap. You'll be losing fat and muscle. It'll all come back as soon as you start eating…

I eat 3 to 4 a week. I'm not worried about fruit sugars. I'm more worried about leg cramps at night.

Right outside of Milwaukee, WI!

I try to scavenge as much as possible at work... snacks in the break room? company lunch? lunch time meeting? I'll take it. When I'm not scavenging to save, about 2 bucks a day on breakfast, 4 on lunch, and if I eat at home, 4-5 on dinner, so about $10 a day. In the summer, when my garden is flourishing, I spend much less…

I don't log it when it's free of sugar, artificial sweeteners, and cream. I do add it to my water count though. If you are monitoring other nutrients, like potassium, you may want to log it. Black tea has about 20 mg of potassium per serving.

I use the bargain brand when I don't make my own. They all suck on sodium, so it doesn't make a huge difference what brand it is for that. Prego has the most sugar. Bargain brand and Ragu seem to have less for most of their flavors. I also add more spices and some cheese to make the bargain brand more interesting and to…

I give myself one day a week to drink moderately, usually Friday and Saturday. I usually consume more calories than I'm allowed, but hey, a girl's gotta live a little! If you can't control it within your calories or to just a few drinks a week, not drinking at all may be best. :/

Coming into work with no snippy emails in my inbox.

It sounds like you've already admitted to having a problem and are reaching out for help, so congrats on making the biggest step. :) From here on out, stay accountable to yourself. Be honest with how much you're consuming. Read labels and follow portion sizes. Find something active that you enjoy. I hate running, so I…

How about exercising so you can eat more yummy food without getting obese? Sounds like a great reason to me!

My family has always shown love with food. We don't know how to just say "I love you". We express ourselves in the kitchen. Unfortunately, this will never change, but we can change which foods we show love with. The other night, we had a family dinner at home. We made burgers, both turkey and beef, grilled asparagus, pasta…

Sorry, if I was a wizard, I'd just make myself smoking hot and not have to be on here monitoring my calories and exercise, but since I'm not, everyone has to suffer. >:)
