How ridiculous that I didn't even think of fruit? LOL

Eat your calories. Better to be a little over on fat than to be 332 calories low. Veggies, lots of veggies, skim milk, nonfat yogurt maybe?

lol...online.

Welcome! You will love it here! Most everyone is so supportive and helpful!

This is part of what i have been referring to...plus, I'm confident that what I have read and been told is accurate. Whatever works for you is excellent. However, being hungry and "starvation mode" in which your body is surviving on it's muscle and storing fat is different. I'm done. Thanks for listening. Lose Weight: Eat…

Actually, I think I'm more offended at the way you approached it rather than telling me I was wrong. I know it's difficult to type softly, but sometimes your attitude speaks so loudly it is difficult to hear what you are trying to say. And thank you astarte09. I appreciate your support. Just because we do not like what we…

Sigh. It's not like we can do anything about it - because we need to sleep. If we didn't eat for 8 hours during waking hours, our body goes into starvation mode. It seemed to make sense to me, but like any other information - if it's important to you, you should do your own research. I question everything myself.

According to my nutritionist, my doctor and my trainer going 8 hours without food puts your body into starvation mode. The fact that you are asleep does not change that

If it stays within your calorie range - why not? It wouldn't sustain me at all! Remember that the time you are sleeping is traditionally the longest time you go without food which means that you go into starvation mode....

23 miles IS SO respectable. Although I am disappointed that this program would stoop to this level for the money shot. UNLESS, there was no chance of them finishing the race within the alotted timeframe (there are sometimes limits). My question is: did they really start at the finish and then journey for the 23 miles? Or…

Wed 03/04/09 12:58 PMQUOTE: The patch worked for me. I am smoke free for 18 months today... It is hard, but it does get easier. I was so excited to wake up and find that it wasn't my first thought anymore. Just hang in there, everyday gets better. "if you go cold turkey and are successful, it has been said that you could…

My heart goes out to you - I just quit two months ago. Unfortunately, I have no advice to give to you. I quit because I really wanted to quit and that was all the difference. Other than that, I just say no. I'm sorry. I want to help - but I struggle every day too. I try to think about what I used to feel like in the…

My body reminds me when I'm slouching...seems to work. It must work because movie stars will wear girddles to bed after giving birth just to get their stomachs back.

You are NOT alone. I will not eat in front of anybody other than my boyfriend because of the comments. Before I realized what was happening though, I would do exactly what you did...eat a little in front of people so I didn't have to hear comments on my food, diet, whatever, then vacuum a whole lot more behind closed…

I used the calories burned by the number on my treadmill, then subtracted 150 from that for my exercise entries...I know that they are not accurate - but I really give it hell when i'm on the treadmill. I've just started using my HR monitor, which I believe to be more accurate (as it really is my heart rate). Turns out,…

I can relate. I am recovering from Pneumonia and did NOT want to work out once I was able to (and I'm a 7 day a weeker). How did I get past it? I worked out. My desire came back after the first trip to the gym....even though the first trip was positively grueling. Just go...you'll feel better after. The price for not going…

I tried to go shopping for pants over the weekend and I couldn't find my size unless it was for petites and I'm just shy of being able to wear petites. I am thrilled! I had to go to a thrift store to get pants. Isn't this fun???? :smile:

I find the information so useful that I was pretty much wanting to copy and paste the entire web site....so instead, I'll paste the link here....you'll love it! http://www.womenshealthmag.com/

Fear of success. More powerful than fear of failure and excuses are the gateway to failure. I do not study for exams. I couldn't figure out why for the longest time. But then my psych professor told me that I don't study because if I fail then I can say it was because I didn't study and not because I was not smart enough…

I make sure to have plenty of sweet bell peppers and grapes....both are nutritious and very low calories....

I agree with the freezing and the shoes, but I'm not happy about my rings. My rings are sliding around my fingers. But, I'll take it anyway. :wink:

You are an inspiration for us all! Good work!:flowerforyou:

AMEN! Get rid of the scale, get your measurements, and seriously, it hasn't even been 24 hours. This is a journey. It is going to be fun, painful, glorious, and stressful. Don't give up now, you have to prepare yourself for more successes and unfortunately, some let downs. You can do this! And the person above me is…

Found this on WebMD and they are sooo yummy! Ingredients: 1/2 cup reduced-fat canola margarine (8 grams fat per tablespoon), with plant sterols, if desired 1 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 large egg (use a higher omega-3 brand if available) 1/4 cup egg substitute 1 cup…

LOL...with all the healthy eating and working out I do, I need this sin to feel sane. :wink: I love artificial sweetners too....guess I'm doomed. lol

Skinny Cow still has my vote....unless they can find a fruit that tastes like chocolate. :wink: Plus, the fudge bars are only 50 calories.

Happy birthday!!!! Eat before you go anywhere....that is my best advice.

:wink: The thickness covers the nipples and you cannot see a thing....It's not really padded per se, it's just thicker...and boy, my sweater puppies do not move an inch...:blushing: Oh - and no muffin top either.

I usually have to wear three bras when I run because I'm naturally top heavy (and lucky for me, I didn't lose anything even after 13 pounds :drinker: ), but after a LOT of searching, I finally found a bra that keeps everything from moving....It's called the Last Resort Bra and can be found at titlenine@e.titlenine.com I…
