No...but thanks for your concern! It's not really a diet. It's a book on how to work the food plan you are using while using cognitive therapy approaches. If anyone has truly read the book they will know what I"m talking about.

I do the best when I plan ahead what I am going to eat at each meal, snacks included into that plan.

Either have a salad before any main course meal or make a big salad as your meal, if possible.

a pint is 16 oz.

I would chose something like a fruit, veggie, milk or yogurt when I get like that.

I agree on the measurement part. I wasn't having big losses (for me, I consider 2 lbs or more a big loss) but I have lost 8 inches all over since Jan 19th (as of this past Thursday, 3/8) .

I like this site for that reason. I haven't come across that yet on here (granted I have been away from here for a LONG time) but when I was on here regularly, I really liked it.

Eat fruit/veggies, protein, dairy, water, limit "junk" snacks and it will come off. I am not sure about 5 lbs a week but it will come off. Are you changing up your workout routine?

Maybe just have him hold 3 bags of sugar? Not that you have to PROVE it to him but I think you are looking for validation for yourself of what you have accomplished! Way to go! 15 lbs is awesome!

Oh she hasn't asked me to officially be in the wedding now that she's engaged. I was just saying that growing up or even before I let her know my true feelings...she always told me I'd be in her wedding "someday" when she found the right one to marry! Unfortunately, this was not an isolated incident but I'd say it was the…

Thank you are all the positive comments! This is why I love this site..not just for support on weight loss but on other stuff! Sometimes an objective opinion is what one really needs to hear!

LOL..I have told her before that she's passive/aggressive! She had thanked me for pointing it out as it made her realize "stuff" about herself. That was before the nasty comments though so I guess she didn't realize enough! ;)

Thanks! That is how I feel too but also..part of me wonders where we draw the line of "forgive and forget." I think if I wasn't part of her wedding..it would put it into perspective for her. She always said I would be 1 of the 2 girls she would have stand up for her! Part of me wants to say: Since I haven't lost much…

Opps..sorry. I am not the bride...I am in the wedding! ;) Sorry

Wow..thanks for all the input! I think if I see a good loss this coming WI on Saturday..it will keep me going. I have been good this week about logging my foods and have exercised 3 days. I need to incorporate weekends into working out. I have almost all the BL videos and need to start doing them again. I go to the gym…

Jen W..thank you for all the great ideas! ;)

I feel like I make way too many excuses on weekends b/c I don't fit activity in. If I can fit it in during the week (when I'm more busy), then I can do it during the weekends! Sometimes it's plain laziness and I hate admitting that! Sometimes, I am my own worse enemy! UGH!

I would ♥♥♥ to get my workouts in (or at least a Pilates video in the am and still go to the gym in the PM) but I can't seem to get out of bed early enough. Maybe I'm being too hard on myself thinking it has to be 5 days. Maybe I need to do baby steps and just do 1 day, then add another after a few weeks. I guess I will…

Yes..I have had 3 kids. Dr. said that was part of it.

I agree (confidence booster). I did my 1st 5K in October 2010 and wanted to do it WITHIN 40 minutes (what I had been averaging when practicing at the gym). I finished in 36:24. This coming October, I'm striving to beat that time.

Chewing/spitting to me are also signs of an eating disorder.

Just try to remember that tomorrow is a whole NEW day. Start it off like you would have any other day (without the picnic) and go from there! Plan ahead what you are going to eat and stick to it. Exercise a little bit harder than usual and you will be fine! As long as you don't let 1 day of overdoing it continue into the…

Unfortunately I want to see 10 lbs gone and that will keep my motivation..but we all know that won't happen quickly! ;=:sad: :ohwell:

Sometimes Good WIll if I pick thru and find some jeans. Sometimes Walmart.

WOW...thanks everyone. She is smaller than I am BUT should still could afford to lose "some" weight/tone. She always says to me about herself: Well my pants don't fit b/c I've lost SO much weight (meaning herself) or doesn't it look like I lost some weight? Honestly, I don't really see it and I"m not just saying that b/c…

How many times a week have you been taking it? The past 2 weeks, I have taken it 3 times.

HAHA..I love it. It's so true though. We all think things...sometimes we say them, but most times we don't! I love the OFF button connection! I am editing the letter today and mailing it out!

I will eventually come back to post the outcome. I did mention that unfortunately it's partially my fault, for letting it go so long and not having said anything concrete about it or any other comment. Although almost 5 yrs ago, she made a comment to me WHEN I was pregnant w/ my twins about my size and I called her out on…

I have had the Mirena for 4 yrs and have not found it aids in my weight gain. My lack of tracking and not exercising enough are the reason. I was able to lose weight fine w/ it inserted. Just adding that to the above answers. I guess everyone is different but I have not had that problem w/ the IUD. I LOVE IT as I don't get…
