I was on bc for 5 years and never gained weight because of it...I was on 2 different pills...I've heard the depo shot does cause weight gain, but I would definitely talk to your doctor about your concerns!! he/she will help you find a good bc for your goals..there are so many out there that you can find one that's best for…

I love the turkey tom with the bread out (less calories) with the "skinny chips" :) ammazing! BUT I will have to admit, I am kind of curious about the avacado spread..hmm and edit*** I skip honestly everything on the sandwich except turkey, and add my skinny chips for crunch :)

BUMP! I am so excited to try some of these!!

I am pregnant as well. My doctor has been helping me with my weight loss journey for a while. I have lost about 20 pounds since 12/24/10 and before I got pregnant. She told me that her first two pregnancies she gained more than needed. Her third and fourth pregnancy she used as an excuse to lose weight..please understand I…

lol this made my day :)

Bump-I want to keep reading this!

Bump..thank you!

I felt this way about a week and a half ago..I just found out I am pregnant and that I was probably working too hard and not drinking enough water....This may or may not be your case lol..but it could be number of things...the room temp could have been too high...anything..

I am in the same position you are..so I would like to know as well!

Bump..I need to read this later !

I would like to find a belly dancing class in my area...we do a tiny bit in zumba and I love moving my hips :) :) !! Is it a great workout??

definitely a sports bra or two...I wear a tee shirt and yoga capris...comfy socks and decent shoes!! Oh yes and I don't know about anyone else, but the thick cotton headbands are wonderful for sweatbands...and possibly a towel and definitely water bottles!!!

If I DON'T allow myself to have the occasional treat...then I crave it till something really bad happens (like dq cookie dough blizzard...) If I know what my weaknesses are, then I don't overindulge..it's personal preference..and I agree ..I think you comparing it do drug rehab is completely wrong..we are not in rehab..we…

no because I use gum to help curb my cravings..so if I chew 5 pieces a work day then I am only getting <5 cal each piece..which is <25 calories a week..I burn that much walking to the restroom when I get bored :)

bump...I am interested in reading more..

I have been doing this since Jan 1st as well..I had one breakthrough of a mcchicken :( since then...I also do not consider subway as fast food, but I don't get the bad sandwiches from there either... and along with what someone else said, I sat across the street from a mcds recently and it almost made me throw up! So I too…

This makes me smile :) Thank you all for being so supportive! Seriously if it wasn't for this website...I would not be where I am right now!!

I log everything, to the point where sometimes it actually annoys me...I want to hold myself accountable...I also know that if I log everything, it makes me think before I eat something if it's worth the time to log it :)

I definitely agree with you..I eat cinnamon roll oatmeal because it is SOO much better than eating a real cinn roll..so I completely understand..you do it in moderation..and I think it's fine.. :)

wow..she was just explaining other options..if you don't like the way she eats...don't read it..and don't post on it..

My husband likes a girl with curves..while he doesn't want to see me rail thin, he wants me happy with myself...and if I am happy, he is happy :) He is totally supporting this weight loss journey and he just doesn't want me to go overboard..

ah yes and drink only water at restaurants...(add lemon if necessary) but that's a big calorie cut as well..plus it saves you money!!! :) oh and another thing I have learned...I used to order whatever was cheapest on the menu...now that I am VERY food conscience I order what is good for my body , not the cheapest because…

What I do is look online FIRST BEFORE going out, find what I want, write it down, and do NOT look at the menu at the restaurant...and if you REALLY want something a little bit on the high calorie side...when you order your food, ask for a to go box immediately as well...and if they don't bring it with your food, do not eat…

This makes sense..thank you :)

The thing is, I won't eat meals after 8 bc it doesn't work for my body...I am not asking about that..I am asking about eating the exercise calories...I am not going to eat 500 calories back after 8..lol that's insane! Also the people working nights work out and sleep on different schedules than I do..trust me been there…

I honestly have a hard time giving anything up. It's a success mindset for me.. So I don't! I tell myself I can have anything I want...and then I don't want it as bad especially because I see the pounds dropping, so I WANT to do right with my body. If I tell myself, I can go out right now and get mcd's, I don't feel like I…

hmm thank you so much for posting this!! So far my calorie cut is still new to my body so I am still steadily losing but if I get stuck in a rut, you can bet I will be trying this!! THANKS AGAIN :) :)

I only drink water...which is still sort of new for me...I can't drink pop due to health reasons, can't drink milk cuz I am lactose intolerant, don't like coffee/tea...so other than really sugary juices that add pointless calories, that leaves water!! But I totally agree with you!

I work 7a-4p at a desk job so I used to eat toast or a bagel early in the morning and found that doesn't work for me..so I eat dry cereal at about 8ish when I am fully awake, and then I eat one packet of oatmeal at my 10:00 break... On weekends though, it's typically eggs and toast :)

I have the same issue mixed with lactose intolerance and it sucks pretty bad. I was trying everything to help..and if that's not enough, I was getting stressed, which as everyone here knows, makes IBS worse. On my final attempt before asking a dr for help, I started taking a probiotic and calcium supplements (I don't drink…
