HAHAHAAAA... such a great post! That is my life too... I am trying to avoid weighing myself daily (only to see a 1/2 pound difference, if that - and sometimes in the wrong direction!). I'm trying and trying to wait until Friday to do my official weekly weigh-in. It's so hard to wait!! But at the same time, I know that it's…

How many calories are you taking in? I've noticed that when I limit myself to 1300 or less, I seem to gain weight - maybe it's water retention or something, not sure. But when I increase my caloric intake to about 1500 calories, the weight starts coming off. I know this is true for other MFP members - I've seen it on other…

I've never tried this tip, but I remember someone telling me that a baked potato with some lowfat cheese was a good snack for PMS cravings. Maybe the cheesiness will satisfy that grease hunger? LOL - try it and let me know what happens!

Oh yeah!! Soup, of course... :) I wish I had one of those Lean Cuisine dinners... I'll have to find that one. 160 calories - can't beat that. Thanks guys!

I agree with everyone above... I love almond butter too! I think it tastes much better than peanut butter. Not an acquired taste if you love almonds. I found it in the regular peanut butter area at HEB - just on the top shelf with all the "gourmet" stuff. You don't have to buy it in the "need to stir" type either - that…

Yay! Congratulations to you! I know that feeling as well, just haven't experienced it in a while... but hopefully, I will soon! Keep up the great work!

I have heard of the hot herbal tea trick late at night - and although I have tried that, I'll be honest. For a hardcore sugar addict, it just doesn't work. Some nights, I'm able to trick myself, drink the tea, and go to bed early even with my stomach rumbling a bit. But thanks for posting the tip anyway! I am always on the…

My goal is to avoid eating sugar for one single day! My sugar habits are always derailing my calorie counting... I guess I get on that "Oh, well, I cheated, so now what can I eat?" thought process and everything goes downhill from there! So tomorrow - no chocolate, no cookies, no Reese's peanut butter cups. For just one…

I can't stand the Workout Barbies either... we have a ton of those at my gym. Their faces are very carefully made up (even foundation and mascara!), their hair is always perfect, they're decked out in Nike workout gear, and they hop on the ellipticals for like 2.5 minutes before it's time to cruise around the gym and talk…

Count me in as well! I've lost a few pounds since joining MFP so I am in love with this site and I log on every day. I think logging in on Fridays with our start weights and personal goals would be perfect. And yes, we could all add each other as friends so we can see what we're all up to. :) As for me, I've added a lot of…

Know what? Count me IN. I am a sugar addict out of control. I've been trying to lose some weight but every time I have a good day, I follow it with a binge day. Binge on sugar, that is. It's driving me crazy!

Congratulations!! That is such good news. I know what you mean when you say you wish you had started sooner. I've been counting my calories for just a week or two now, and my jeans are already starting to feel loose... I'm basically kicking myself in the butt for not doing this ages ago. I just kept eating ice cream and…

Congratulations, rogers8702! That is a huge achievement - you should be so proud of yourself. How did you start running? Outside or inside on a treadmill? I used to run a couple of years ago, but I've had two babies since then (including way too many months of bedrest!) so I'm incredibly out of shape. I will have to ease…

Thanks for the welcome! Sassiebritches, I noticed that you have a quit-smoking ticker. I think that's AWESOME so I wanted to give you some support on that! I am a former smoker myself. I've been smoke-free for about 17 months now, thanks to my kids. (I quit for the last time a few months before I got pregnant). Anyway, I…
