This. I have caffeine free tea on hand. Right now its lemon ginger or green tea. I put some Splenda in it and drink it hot. Gives me a full feeling, plus with the splenda its sweet too. It helps with "I feel like I want to chew on something" feeling too. When I crave chocolate I usually give in and have a little.

When I was 29 I weighed 327lbs. I was watching one of those shows like the 600lb man or something like that. I kept thinking how could they let themselves get that way? The guy in the show I was watching died, there was no happy ending. Then I realized if he would of changed when he was my size he would still be here, and…

Johnsonville Cheddar Brats. I dont eat them often and I only eat one instead of two or 3 like I used too. I also work it into what I'm eating that day. I saw the above post and I'm having a hard time giving up wings! I just cut back on how often and how many.

Looking forward to Winter! Fall! Most of my life spent in the heat of Nevada caused me to detest summer. Now that Im in Colorado, summer isnt so bad but I still think fall is my favorite season.

I dont care for the snack cakes either. Now I do love a store bought/home made regular cake, but I never buy them and the only time I ever baked them was for my son's birthday. Even when I didnt pay attention to what I ate, I still never bought cake. Even at restaurants, I never ordered dessert. I also dont care for candy…

My dad taught me, "Your word is all you have, dont lie and dont make promises you cant keep." Another favorite "Dont lend money you cant afford to live without." One I had to pass on to my son, engrained it in him. "You may not always be able to control the situations you're put into, but you can control how you react. You…

This. When my son was growing up he had to eat what was made for him or he didnt eat. If I bought treats and he ate them up, then no treats for awhile. He learned balance.

Mushrooms are also high in potassium.

This. I've also noticed that I feel bloated when I dont drink enough water and dont get enough sleep.

Welcome!

Lived in Las Vegas/Henderson Nevada most of my life (28 years). Currently in Aurora Colorado. It feels more like home than Las Vegas ever did.

I hear myself say "Uggg this sucks" or "this is hard". Now I hear a little voice respond "So is being fat".

^^This! I took it for about two weeks to quit smoking and it made me insane. Rapid thoughts/speech, insomnia, mood swings, easily angered or upset and the final straw I tried to kill myself. It took another two weeks to be completely normal again.

Oh my guy does the same "I brought you something". At first I got mad, but then I realized I dont have to eat it. LOL, a lot of times I just put it in the fridge and he'll eat it. The other day he thought he did good because he brought me a Payday candy bar (it has peanuts in it). I left it sitting on the counter, I took…

I peel and weigh. I dont eat the peel so I dont weigh it.

A video my boyfriend took of me flying his remote control helicopter. I was scared and I wanted to scream, who's that giant ugly girl wearing my clothes? I was embarrassed. I couldnt even see the "pretty face" anymore.

You dont need to buy expensive. My grocery bill is the same as it was previously. I budget about $150 for two people for two weeks and I actually spend about $120. The only difference is I'm not buying junk, processed or prepared food and now it actually lasts two weeks because I'm not eating 3000 calories a day. Friend me…

I try to eat as clean as possible. Occasionally Im in a situation that I'll end up deviating and eat something less than healthy. I try to pick the less evil options, or just eat a small portion (eating at a friends house or eating out). Other times I'm craving something (chocolate!) so I fit it into my calories. Also I…

From what I understand you're supposed to take as much as needed to see results. More is not better with Melatonin. Start with the 1-3 mg and see what happens. The 3mg works for me if I let it. I can also "power through" it and stay awake because its not at all like taking sleeping pills. When I take the pill I go lay…

"Live Like You Were Dying" by Tim McGraw. The first time I heard it was about a week after my Stepmom passed from cancer. About 3 years later I was having this weird problem with my vision only in my left eye and the doctor's couldnt figure out why. I left the 3rd doctor's office I had been to in two months and had just…

We were talking about this the other day. I miss Crystal Pepsi. I used to drink it all the time when I was pregnant with my son 20 years ago.

They were yummy. I found them again at Wal Mart and my local King Soopers (Kroger store) just started carrying them. I think they may have changed the recipe. I remember them being delicious, these are a... acquired taste? I have one for breakfast every morning.

Mine too. I'm still giggling. Thanks for sharing.

I just watched a documentary on obesity in America (Weight of the Nation on HBO) and it stated that 68% of the US is obese or overweight.

I feel the same way. My BMR according to the site 2223 and sedentary is 1739. Yet I know if I go much over 1500 I stop losing weight. I can comfortably eat between 1000 and 1400, I dont feel deprived or starved. I'm a 35 year old female, 5'5 and 328 lbs as of this morning. That disclaimer note they have below the chart may…

^^That show. This new frozen yogurt place around the corner from me (100 cal for 4oz of fat free yogurt deliciousness). Also a yummy recipe that is mac n cheese like except you use tofu instead of macaroni. Oh and Justified whenever its on!

LOL I thought it was just me.

Im totally taking advantage of my change/loss of appetite during the summer. I lost the first 4lbs w/out really paying attention. My appetite is reduced and I tend to crave fruits and vegetables anyway.
