take a huge white garbage bag, cut two holes in the bottom for legs, two at the sides for arms, and fill with wadded up newspapers after you put it on.....secure at neck area with a bow or string. Instant White Trash costume haha!

I lost my uncle last weekend. It was hard staying on track with all the family and food......especially ALL THE FOOD! It's just motivated me even more to stay focused and get healthier. I want to be around for a long time and be able to enjoy my family for a long, long time. Glad you guys got back on track...hang in…

if you go with someone else, share a meal with them and order a second house salad. I do this with my husband. That way we can still enjoy the seafood, but forces us to not gorge on the oversized portions. Get the veggies instead of fries. ohhhhhh...crab legs sound sooooo good!

one of the most important things to remember with a cold is to adequately hydrate. The more fluids you drink, the thinner your secretions will be. Plus, many cold medications tend to dehydrate you. Hope everyone stays healthy or gets better soon!!!!

My vice is a bag of honey dijon kettle cooked chips. I can sit down with a bag and uncontrollably eat the whole bag. How do I deal with it? I don't buy the chips. I love chips and dip......oh the mouth is watering. Instead of snacking on chips, I buy baby carrots and make home made dip or use fat free ranch. I still get…

Could it be possible that they are just teasing you? Sometimes it's good to have someone ask you if you want something bad for you because every time you turn something down and make better choices, it makes you stronger. All of my co-workers are nurses and very good cooks. They realize that I am trying to lose weight and…

Do you have a fever? For every degree you go up with a fever, you burn more calories. Also, I have found out with my sinus issues that I really don't feel like eating as much due to decrease in appetite. I believe this is due to the sinus drainage upsetting my stomach. I have a sinus infection right now, so I know what it…

Yeah, it really puts it into perspective! I have lost 20 lbs and feel so much better. Hope your brisket is awesome..lol.

I know what you mean about stress eating. I just lost my uncle yesterday and I looked at my foods that I had yesterday and I am absolutely horrified! First off, do you take your own lunches to work? If you do not, it would be a good idea to take your own foods and own portions so you have control of what you are consuming.…

Way to go! We are around the same weight. I just hit 241 and have lost 20 lbs so far. It feels great to see the scale go the other way for once. Feel free to add me if you are looking for some supportive buddies. Good luck with your weight loss!:happy:

Feel free to add me. My current buddies list is very quiet and I enjoy having the supportive messages to keep me going. Anyone who wants to add me, add me!!!!!!!!!

I eat a lot of yogurt. I get the thick and creamy (love the texture) in a variety of flavors. Plus, they are only 100 calories per serving! Key lime pie is to die for. You should try it!

how about using half sugar substitute and half regular sugar? Just a thought!

Silly Kiri, jrich is a man....heehee. Was hoping a woman wouldn't be going down the slide with her top off! I'm just teasing, don't mean to embarrass anyone. I'm sorry that this happened to you. I went to worlds of fun last summer, and could barely squeeze my rear end into one of the seats of the ride. It was so…

My family LOVES steak. If I have any leftover, I will make this. I take some fresh sliced onions and mushrooms and saute them with some olive oil. I then add sliced lean steak with the veggies and then cook until the veggies have tendered. I add pepper, but you can add whatever seasoning you like. If you use about 4 oz…

I too have a sister that is very pretty and A LOT smaller than me. I love her to death, but it makes me look at myself and wonder what went wrong with me! She is on this site as well and has been helping me with weight loss. Love her! Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that there are others out there with the same…

Sounds like you need to find healthy releases. Like many have mentioned before, go for a walk, get some exercise, talk to a good friend. Sometimes it's good to find your own "me" time where you do what you like....spending time with pets, read a book, meditate for example. Maybe you should discuss with your doctor the side…

I have a problem with portions. I find if I take the big bag and divide them into several smaller baggies...then when I finish the little baggie, I'm done. That way your brains says...STOP!!!! Maybe putting them into smaller bags will help for you too!!!!

Welcome!!! Add me as a friend if you would like. I am also new and in need of supportive weight loss buddies. :)

What do you do for relaxation? What are you doing for exercise? It seems like you need some sort of release during the day. Take a walk, do something enjoyable with your family. As for foods, protein can affect your alertness, carbs can decrease stress and increase relaxation, and do you intake a lot of caffeine? Good luck…
-
I would suggest low impact exercise such as swimming. Did you doctor give you any restrictions? Swimming is a great way to get exercise without all the extra strain on your body. Good luck with this!!!
-
I would suggest eating smaller meals, more frequently. It's good to eat 3 good meals a day, but also fit in some extra nutritious snacks. Doing this will help keep up your metabolism without having to starve yourself! That is what I am trying to do.

thanks for the advice and congrats on your weight loss. Proud of you!!!
