Mizunos are always great, I like the WaveRunners.

I just restarted it and I'm on day 11. You're right, I totally don't mind the food options, there are a lot of great combinations to still have. I only lost 3.6 pounds in the first week so I was a bit disappointed but I'm sticking with it. Best of luck!

You can do it, start with small changes and keep things realistic for yourself. Maybe just start with logging what you are eating, that will help you to recognize what everything is costing you in calories. Then start subbing in some lower calorie options where you can, and increasing water intake. If you are ever blessed…

Not sure it will help with calories but I've subbed avocado, veganaise, or even a little bit of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Or just try a little bit of mayo and then add in a lot of mustard to get the consistency right. Another trick is to make sure you get the water packed tuna and just don't drain as much…

You can hide a lot in macaroni and cheese and also in rice. Anything noodle based usually works the best though if they are really picky. Depending on how old your kids are, you may be able to get them excited about a vegetable (new or old) by teaching them more about it first, like where/how it grows, what animals also…

I like mine just smashed with some lemon juice and lawry's seasoning salt.

Raw pumpkin seeds are a terrific source of iron and protein and, I've seen recipes also add in a 1/2 cup of oatmeal or coach's oats or even some yogurt. I need to experiment with mine some more because I'm starting to get bored. Mine come in at around 380 each day. I also found this post with tons of recipes to try: Almond…

I completely agree, I have my husband half on board so I need to talk him into being more of a support system I think.

Welcome back, new jobs are super stressful, hang in there! I'm feeling a bit frustrated with my lack of progress lately on the scale, but I'm still getting rid of some inches so I'm hoping that I'm gaining some muscle with my new 5+ daily mile walk (before my day would maybe be 1/5th of this amount of movement). So I'm…

Excellent work and great progress, you look so much younger too!

I have the same problem on the go. Now I make sure to have a variety of things in my purse like raw almonds, cashews, and my new favorite are the Clif Kids Fruit ropes (http://www.clifbar.com/food/products_clif_kid_twisted_fruit/). If all else fails, I chug a bunch of water to tide myself over.

Chooped up in salads, sliced or mixed in with soups (black been vegetable yum!), with some lemon/lime/seasoning for guacamole, in place of mayo on sandwiches, in place of mayo for tuna or chicken salad, mix in with some hummus, you can sub it into most recipes that call for oil (even desserts!).

Go and jokingly order the camel and rock badger stew loud enough for your uncle to hear. They won't care what you really order after that one.

My favorite theory is Walter goes into the witness protection program and that is the beginning of Malcom in the Middle. ;)

I was trying not trying but not preventing for 7 years before I decided to go to the doctor. After i was diagnosed, the docotr wouldn't even give me medicine until I lost weight. So I was in the midst of my weight loss journey adn also incorporated the use of ovulation strips and the period tracker app and about 30 lbs and…

^^This! My new favorite is the curried lentil and vegetable lentil soups.

Offer to bring a dish that you know you can eat (veggie or fruit tray) or just eat before hand.

Good for you, I've been thinking about opening mine back up again too. This week, I'm going to take the stairs at every opportunity and increase my water intake.

Welcome back and great job on vacation, that couldn't have been easy to do :)

Thanks all, requests have been sent. grvirgilio-great question about the other stats that make up your calories, like sugar, fat, etc, I think I first just tried to make the calorie goal and once I was good with that I moved on to look at what those calories are made of. Read up on macros as there are several different…

Like a previous poster said, contact the BBB, and also write a letter to the Department of Consumer and Affairs, and most importantly write to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). CFPB will actually make the place address the issue and research the data privacy breech thoroughly, while the others really only…

*hand raised* I love logging my food and seeing what it is I consume everyday to make better choices. I even do some prelogging to organize my day.

I have a 3yo son, an 11mo old daughter, and about 75 more lbs to lose. Feel free to add me!

Thanks rsimoneau1!

I definitely lose weight in my face first.
