It never stopped me from loosing. But the doctor suggested giving up the sweetners which I did and my headaches went away.

I have always ordered skinny anything at Starbucks. But now I found out the arificial sweetners are causing me headaches. So now I am back to the real syrups but still going non-fat milk. Pumpkin latte, my holiday choice!

Almond butter Cashew butter raw spinach in a salad Greek yogurt

I am not sure which is right, but I workout first, shower, then eat. I seem to have more energy with my stomach empty.

I have already bought clothes as I have lost weight, but when I finally reach my goal and weigh 20 pounds less, I am going to buy a new a couple new outfits and go on a vacation where I can wear a new bathing suit!

I hear you, I am there myself. Right now I joined the "Eat more, weigh less" group here. I am trying to reset my metabolism. I think the body just gets so used to what we are doing, what we are eating, how much exercise we are doing, it needs a change. I have upped my calories a lot and have not gained. I see you are…

The calculators are confusing, but you should not be eating less than your BMR. You burn that many calories sleeping. If you stick to that you will be eating at a deficit with the activity that you do each day. I agree with several others, that you don't seem to need to loose weight. Be careful not to go into starvation…

You look great! Just keep doing what you are doing and see where it takes you. At some point you will stop loosing with the amount of calories you are eating now, and then that may be where you should be.

I pack snacks for morning and afternoon in my lunch box. Here are some of my favorites.... fresh fruit packaged fruits such as applesauce, peaches, pears, mixed fruit/ all packed in juice/no sugar cocoa covered almonds any nuts low sodium beef jerky Adkins bars (I do the low carb when possible) celery w/peanut butter…

53 and feeling younger than I have in years!

www.kettleworx.com I love all of the DVD's and it is a great calorie burn, about 300 for a 30 minutes workout.

I have to eat out often. If I do subway, I like the turkey salad with fat free sweet onion dressing. Salads at any restaruant will do . IHOP has menu items under 500 calories, Applebees has menu items under 600 calories. If the restaurant does not have low calories, I go with low carb and that helps.

Cut back on sodium for sure. Also cut back on your carbs. When you eat carbs make sure they are low glycemic. Oatmeal will digest slow and keep you from spking blood sugar levels. Watch the sugar in fruits, some fruits are really high in sugar like pineapple, berries are better when you have a choice like black berries or…

Avacado anytime. I love it mixed with Miracle whip light and put on toast!

I love smoothies. I freeze any fruit you can get your hands on. Then I blend them with a little milk and splenda! With milk in it, it is like a shake! yummm. I also love the Adkins snack bars, very low carb. Nuts of any kind. My new found love is cocoa covered almonds.

Same here! I am a busy grandma who works two jobs and spends time with 2 sons and 3 grandsons. Not a lot of time to debate. I spend some time on Catholic Answers to help teach the faith.

Sales/Retention rep at a credit card company. I sell and save accounts!

Hello everyone, I am trying the "Eat more, 2 weigh less". I upped my calories almost a week now, while keeping my net carbs around 100 and have not gained, in fact I lost a pound. It is so great to eat more. I am eating about 1800 calories now instead of 1300-1500! Eating all those exercise calories does help.

You need to eat more for a while and boost up your metabolism again. You are at a plateau because your body is used to the amount of calories your are eating. Actually yo yoing your calories and exercise is good. Eat 1200 one day, 1600 the next and make sure you have a cheat day each week and eat more to boost up that…

Eat protein before you work out or drink a protein shake!!!!!

I love the "Cocoa covered Almonds" by Blue Diamond Nuts of any kind Fruit

Starvation mode does exist. If you eat less than 1200 calories a day for very long, you will stop loosing!!!!! And then giving your metabolism a kick start will be hard. Eat more healthy foods and you will still loose. Eat lots of vegetables!

Your nutritionalist is right! Snacks can be 100 calories such as nuts, fruits etc. On days I work, I eat breakfast, pack a snack in my lunch box for morning and afternoon and my lunch. I have everything in my lunch box I need until supper. I do like to leave a lot of calories for supper, but do stop eating 2 hours before…

It is good to have a cheat day, with more calories than normal. It will boost your metabolism! If you eat the same amount of calories for a long period of time, your body will get used to it and it will be hard to loose. Just do a littel more exercise the next day. Yo yo your calories and exercise, keep your body…

I am trying it! This is my second day! Time will tell!

I would like to join. I lost 50 and then now I have maintained my loss for a year. I have been eating 1300-1500 cal per day and only maintain. I would like to loose another 25, so I hope this works. I looked up TDEE last night and it says I should be eating 1900 per day. I am not sure exactly what exercise is suggesgted.…

Love it!!! Got to try it. lol

My grandsons love any kind of fruit. I cut it up like a salad. The 3 boys can eat a watermelon in no time flat! I buy go gurt and freeze it and they eat it for snacks.

Hello everyone. TGIF, I am so glad the weekend is here. I always do better on keeping my calories down when I am home rather than at work. I am in a walking competition at work and have been wearing a pedometer since May 10th and will continue to wear it through the 31st. I hope this helps me loose a few pounds. Have a…
