I lost 17 pounds in 3 months while eating Count Chocula for lunch daily. I buy like 15 boxes during October and use it for the whole year.

My 3 year old loves salad. She actually asks for it. The only thing I buy for her that is her "kid" food is frozen waffles and mac-n-cheese cups for those times I don't feel like cooking. She generally tries what I cook and if she absolutely hates it then she can have a snack later which would be cheese, almonds, fruit or…

First off - I am very sorry for your loss. But don't stop ... It is hard to get back. It is hard to get remotivated. It is hard to get strict. My advice for what it is worth ... set your calories to maintaince and still log and pay attention to what you are eating otherwise it is too easy to fall back into horrible eating…

LOL - I was reading this thinking "Did I make up a new name and post this without remember?" I have the EXACT SAME problem with my mother-in-law! She is super sexy for her age and continuesly bring ups my weight loss around everyone at family gatherings. She will pull people over and be like "Doesn't Courtney look great?…

... I kinda <3 some of those bad foods and still find a way to squeeze them into my diet from time to time. I have soda at the movies because you just can't watch a movie without a giant soda and popcorn in my opinion. I also love a good steak and I make potatoes weekly at my house for dinner. I do try to avoid french…

I don't log my strength training for the calories ... I just use my calories burned from the strength training to help cover any over-estimating calories burned or under-estimating calories eaten during the week.

Thrift stores are awesome! I even found brand new black dress slacks from White House/Blacket Market for only $6! I go in every so often and scope out not only the size I am currently wearing but also a size or 2 smaller so right now I am wearing 14/16 but I already have some 12s in my closet just anxiously waiting for me…

BACON!

I drink the crystal light pomegranate cherry all day long! I have the singly bottle packets in my desk drawer and gallons of water in the fridge. I bring a 32oz cup to work every morning and I drink and refill all day long. I split 1 packet into 3 glasses though so it is only adding a little taste. This seems to help me…

I use about 1/3 of the cyrstal light single packs in my 32 ounce cup. I keep a large jug of water in the fridge at work and just keep topping off my glass during the day.

French Fries! Or I often do skillet potatoes and onions - just add some fun seasoning and I always cook mine until they burn so they are crunchy, salty and hit the spot!
-
LOL - I talk to myself all day long! Sometimes in my head but sometimes I have to say it out loud for it to sink in. The one thing I tell myself repeatedly throughout the day is .... "You are stronger than this!" I pass by the boxes of donuts in the breakroom in the morning .... "You are stronger than this!" and I go eat…

I only close the door if we have guests or I am wanting to hide from my Husband and 1yr old! Then they both tend to migrate to the door and bang or scratch until I come out.

Drink a big glass of water before each meal ... much cheaper and healthier "diet trick".

Having to spend a month staring at my daughter in a plastic box because she was born 7 weeks early at 3 pounds 6 ounces. This came after I spent a month in the hospital myself on bedrest trying to keep her in as long as possible before she wasn't able to get enough oxygen and I had to have an emergency c-section. This was…

I am pretty sure I love you ...

I drink a lot of water so when I have to pee every hour I take the longest route to and from the farthest bathroom in the building. Some of my co-workers look at me weird and wonder why I am always walking on the wrong side of the building but I just say the other bathroom was full (there is a bathroom like 10 feet from my…

Lemon as well as other citrus can help with digestion and settle an "upset stomach" ... it is recommended to use for morning sickness when you are pregnant and is often used after meals like the famous Italian lemoncello after dinner drink! I have never heard of it helping with weightloss and I wouldn't bank on a wedge of…

I have 2-4 dove dark promises every night while watching tv with my husband ... it is my treat for a day of healthier eating!

I have the same issue at my office. The break room always has horrible "treats" waiting every morning and afternoon. I keep a drawer full of "better" (well better than the donuts and chips in the break room) snacks. I have raisons, 100 calorie packs of cookies, popcorn, cereal, nuts, and random fruit/nut/oat bars. It is…

Sushi is almost always my "cheat" meal where I don't count the calories! I just pig out on the fishy goodness and don't worry about it! LOL - I guess I just feel that if I am going to eat something that delicious I am sure as heck not going to limit or modify a thing!
-
We get the bite size rounds thare are 140 calories for 24 and I count out 24 for me and my husband and then put the bag back in the pantry. We load each chip up with as much salsa as we can so we get to really enjoy it and feel pretty full after that! I could never give up my mexican food!!!!!

So ... you eat less and move more? Hrm ... that sounds like this other diet I heard of but can't quite remember the name!

Wait ... what is wrong with Pizza and Bagels?! I go to PF mainly because they are the cheapest gym in town and have locations that are close to my home and work. I am a working mother and convienence is most important when it comes to a gym. They have plenty of machines and weights so I am able to get a good workout in…
