my go to when i need to consume some extra calories but dont want to ruin all my hard work is Silk, Light Chocolate Soy Milk...there are 90 calories in a glass and even just one of them makes me feel full, there is plenty of protein to help repair my muscles and it tastes good... i am always under my goal but try very hard…

if you exercise daily you are supposed to eat half of your body weight in ounces... if you weigh 200lbs...then 100ozs of water... but at least 8 - 8oz glasses a day is recommended...

that all sounds good...i was looking for some meal ideas for the coming weeks...anyone else want to share what they are having for dinner??

anywhere from three to seven lbs...

that is a really low budget but you can probably do it if you are smart, shop the sales and use coupons... i can feed myself and my two kids for about $40/week so its definetly doable... get the Sunday paper, check the sales flyers for your local grocery stores and see if you can plan meals based on what is on sale... if…

you can add me too...ive got about 60lbs left to loose!

what brand of Protein Shake do you buy? i use Myoplex Lite, either the Strawberry or Chocolate...both are good! i just mix with water...i always put a few ice cubes in since they taste so much better if they are really cold... adding milk seems to add too many calories...

yep...i have a day off every now and then...but i still track and try not to go crazy and eat 3000 or 4000 calories in a day...which is very easy to do if we eat out twice that day... like today for example...i am over by 400 calories...i really wanted a Wendy's Chocolate Frosty Shake and didnt even think to log it before…

have you tried marinating in some light Miracle Whip with some Mrs Dash and some red chilli flakes? then bake it covered to stop it drying out...

bump...anyone else??? thanks to those who have replied!

i get terrible cravings when its that time of the month...and just a few days before... most of the month i dont have food cravings...but about three days before i get my period i want to eat chocolate bars, rich chocolate cake and Moose Tracks ice cream...notice a trend??? the worse thing is that if i do cave and…

i have been doing Curves since September of last year... my starting weight was...a huge 301lbs... a year later i weigh 211lbs... you can add me if you want... i love Curves...its quick, close to my house and it leaves me no excuse not to get in there for 45 minutes a day (I always do the stretches!!!)

if you are hungry then eat...its not good to starve yourself... do you have some whole wheat bread and peanut butter? make yourself a sandwich... do you have some lunch meat, some lettuce or turkey and some other raw vegies? make a wrap...add a little mustard for some taste...you can add a little low fat cheese too if you…

i work out first thing in the morning and have never been one to be able to eat a meal as soon as i get up... so instead i have half a glass of light chocolate soymilk...its only 45 calories and full of protein...

since i changed my lifestyle a year ago i never renewed my membership to the Clean Your Plate Club... i cant help but think that one of the reasons i was such an overeater was that i never knew when i was full...but only knew that when a meal was served, no matter how big i would eat the whole plate... i bought new plates…

reading this thread is inspiring and depressing to me that the same time... ive lost 85lbs with about 70lbs more to do... ive been doing cardio, strength training and eating right from the beginning with the hope that my skin may bounce back and allow me to have somewhat of a normal body without lots of excess skin and not…

im in the same boat as you...i have two girls...one seven and the other will be four at the end of November... i never lost the weight after my first child and then gained a whole lot more with my second...oh, and then even more after that... i never eat off their plate...they have been told for the last year to throw your…

i always use my banks online bill pay...its easier for me to keep track of what has been paid and to just log onto one place to pay all my bills rather than different websites... sometimes ill think that i havent paid something (mummy brain!!!) and its really easy for me to look back at my paid bills to see if i have or…

im 5ft8.5inches...my ultimate goal weight is 150lbs... i started at 301lbs...current weight is 213lbs...

i love the Cook Yourself Thin cookbooks....i have both of them and use them almost daily... its food that is normally very high in calories but they have taken away alot of them and given you alternatives... one of my favorites are the "cheese fries"...which is roasted butternut pumpkin, tossed in a little olive oil and…

thanks for your answers and i do understand what everyone is saying with the whole dont focus on your clothing size...but its hard not to... with so much weight to loose i guess i shouldnt be surprised...and the fact that i carry it all in my mid section and bust probably has something to do with it since that is where the…

pretty much...i usually shop at Ross since the clothes are cheap and they have plus sizes...

i know just how you feel...ive lost 85lbs and only gone from a 3X to a 1X and sometimes still a 2X...and its very depressing! i recently lost a lot of motivation because of it...you would think that after all that i would at least be in the regular section of clothes and not still plus size... that said...like you, my…

im in the same boat as you...even when i was skinny i had D's...i was up to a DDD but now am back down to a DD.. i do what everyone else has said...wear two bras...it is the only thing that i have found works for me aside from getting a really expensive sports bra, which seems pointless since im going down in sizes...

the energy that you got from that coke was from caffine...it will give you a high and then a crash which is usually why people get addicted and drink so much of it... you will get the same amount of energy from eating an apple and having a large glass of iced water...only the engery is from natural sugar and not a…

if you know that your three year old will be safe and not bother anyone and that the 3 month old wont just cry the whole time i say go for it! go when its not busy, i bet if its a gym in an apartment complex then during working hours (say after 10am) there will be no one there so go then... you might just want to check…

do not dwell on this...its done and you cant change it... just do better next time...that is all that you can do... but i repeat...do not dwell on this, dont give it another thought... you are human, you will make mistakes...just do better next time...

my daughter huged me as she got off to school and said "i can get my hands all the way around you mummy, and i can touch my arm on the other side"...i almost burst into tears on the spot...but instead waited til i got back in the car...

i agree with the statement that if you have a lot of weight to loose then you should be excerising as well... i have lost 85lbs so far and see very little loose skin... i know a few people who have also lost lots of weight but with diet alone and their skin is terrible...unable to wear short sleeve shirts and stuff like…

water, water, water, water...oh, and more water.... i am also a low-carber and i do not get hungerpains anymore... i try not to eat any carbs in the mornings, or before about 1pm when i have lunch since i notice that when i do i just want to eat everything that i lay my hands on... but if you are hungry then eat...and dont…
