I'm Jenna. I'm allergic to plaintain, ragweed, timothy grass, chamomile, aloe, MSG and raw fruits and vegetables (which I only recently found out about. I thought everyone's lips, mouth & throat itched & burned when they ate these things but apparently not). Somehow cooking the vegetables removes the part I'm allergic to…

The machine isn't super-loud and can actually be a good white noise to help you sleep. The steady in & out breathing sounds can block out other background noises that might otherwise wake you up. I'd suggest just don't have him put on the mask until after "fun time" is over and if later on you're feeling frisky he can…

Well, nothing says you couldn't veg, but maybe try to find a less bad for you (and filling) snack to munch while chilling with a movie.

I HATE bananas!! I've tried to force myself to eat them but the moment the taste hits me the gag reflex kicks in. I'm willing to try most things at least once or twice (except anchovies, monkey brains, haggis...other regional dishes of creatures or parts I don't think I should eat, like tarantulas...EEEEWWW!!!) However, I…

Wow, that's awesome!!

At least one other person's already said this, but get the single serving size. It's like a dollar for a little container of it (which isn't good sense financially, but is good sense calorically) That way, you have to stop when it's gone, but it's less than you would otherwise have eaten.

I don't have any advice, but want you to know I'm with you in the problem of suddenly seeming to be unable to stop eating crap. It's like every time I think I'm making progress some secret sabotage code kicks in.

Gained 1.8 lbs :frown: However, it did cause the funny accident that I did the Check In and accidentally typed 152 and the site went "Woah, you've lost 100 lbs since last check in, do you want your goals recalculated?" and I had to hit back and put in 252.

When I joined the Army, the sudden increase of exercise caused my period to stop for 6 months. Now, this time, I'm not exercising anywhere near as intensely as I did in the Army and my periods have gone from being every 35 days to every 29 days.

I lost 3.8 lbs!!! Woot!!!

Don't you mean "more than one way to skinny a person"? lol

That's the frustrating thing for me. I can motivate myself to exercise if I think of it as earning a snack, but not if it doesn't affect how much I can eat, but then my Mom scolded me and said "If you eat back your exercise calories then what's the point?" and I get discouraged from bothering to exercise. Anyway, an add'l…

Where is it that you can reset the fiber to a number of your choice?

It's so funny! I just went back here to post this very question & you have asked it! I found where it lets me pick the categories to track but not where I can tell it how much to shoot for.

ejbarker I, too, have a tendency to self-sabatage and thinking I can't do it. Sometimes it gets to be too overwhelming when looking at the big picture, but the people here are great for support and for helpful ideas.

Thank you for all the suggestions! I'll try these out and let you know how it goes! :flowerforyou:

I gained 2.4 lbs this week. Boo :sad:

I've also read that taking aspirin right before bed (especially for the sake of blood pressure) is more effective than taking it during the day.

Fiber One Chewy Bar Chocolate and Oats 140 cal 9 grams of fiber 2 grams protein And it tastes like a rice crispy treat with chocolate chips in it.

Thanks for the ideas. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thank you.

Can you give an example smoothie I could try to make that doesn't have any pineapple or banana in it?

It's cool that you guys can do this. I couldn't because I hate bananas (seriously, merely tasting them sets off my gag reflex) and I hate pineapple. I also can't chew anything hard because I have a damaged jaw, but I'm glad to see that it's helping some people.

LA Ink. I started watching for the tattoos & the stories that go with them. I still watch for the tattoos, but I also get caught up in the drama that happens between the coworkers. Cake Boss. They're so energetic & get riled up so frequently. It's fun to watch the family bicker but also the great cakes that get created.…

I'm so grateful to all of you helping me with info and suggestions. I was worried I might offend people with my question, but I'm now really glad I asked because now I have an opportunity to fix something that might need fixing in the way I eat. Thank you, and any more feedback/suggestions are welcome.

I know it's not the healthiest way to lose weight, but I currently have some sort of stomach bug (I'll spare you the gory details), needless to say, at least for the moment, I have more coming OUT of my body than going in! I hope this doesn't cause my metabolism to get sluggish & not going to exercise until I don't feel…

It's always good to not be morbid lol.

I'm probably the last person who should suggest anything as my stuff isn't as healthy as some other people's, but these things work for me: I get frosted mini wheats (they aren't the worst thing for you and since I eat them dry w/ a glass of water, they help me fend off hunger pains, too) Fiber One Chew Bar Oats &…
