  • Goochinator when I started eating more fruit and fresh veggies I was a lot less hungry than I was before. Try eating less processed foods, eat more fiber, drink your water all of those things have helped me a great deal with getting over the urge to mindlessly eat anything. I also would not eat anything that I had not…

  • I quit smoking cigarettes (cold turkey) over 20 years ago, baby carrots and celery sticks did the trick for me. I was smoking 3 packs a day the day I quit.

  • You just have to go!!!!! Getting in the door is the hardest part...Tell yourself you are only going to workout for a limited time say 15 minutes of cardio just to get in the habit of going.. work your way up to 30-45 minutes gradually... and then add some weights later.

  • I asked this question earlier and some people replied. It seems that those who had a lot of weight loss did have some excess skin but not enough to stop them from losing the weight. i believe a couple of women said their biggest problem area was under the arms. So far i have lost 47 pounds and don't notice any hanging…

  • Amen to that. Everybody wants a cookie occassionally just don't eat the whole bag like we are prone to do. Eventually the cravings begin to go away. Beleive it or not I really like the taste and sweetness of an apple or grapes over cookies and cake now. Stick with it you will do this..:smile:

  • I was in the same boat as you get to work at 8:30 leave office at 6:30 -7. No time to work out...or so I thought. I joined the YMCA which is directly on my way home and I can now get in 1.5 to 2 hours a night. :glasses: And I have way more energy now than I did when I thought I was too tired to work out.

  • Someone posted a site with calorie content of chinese foods it was a real eye opener. Although I hope the counts were for an entire entree which can be a quite large amount of food. http://www.cspinet.org/nah/chinese.html
    in Where are my support people hehe Comment by dhayes January 2008
  • I get my drive from wanting to get healthy. On the many days that I want to skip the gym, I just force myself to go...I make no excuses for myself to not go....as far as I am concerned if I don't go I am just being fat and lazy...and I DO NOT WANT TO BE THAT ANYMORE.

  • I cook smaller portions of those foods I can't stop eating. Just enough to eat at that meal NO LEFTOVERS. I HAVE TO BE TOUGH ON MYSELF IN THAT AREA. My "lose my mind food" is pork. I haven't had the courage yet to try eating potato chips, which I think will be another "lose my mind food"

  • When you enter foods, check under the my foods tab to ensure that they actually saved. If not I wonder if you have a browser issue...just guessing. As for the nutritional values, I have found that the values can vary somewhat I assume that is because the nutritional values in foods vary slightly in different regions…
