Since I was a kid, I have loved Cheez-its, the real thing. My son recently wanted me to buy him a box, and I told him I was afraid I couldn't control myself. He said that he would let me have one at the end of the box, that way I wouldn't be able to eat the whole thing. What a guy!

I just had spaghetti and garlic toast. YUM! It was in my food budget, too!

I agree, I think you start feeling less motivated.

I hear you! Today is the first day I feel more determined! I did well, then for the last month, not well. There's always something coming up, but hopefully sticking to it this time.

I have always hated making something work, like fat free cheese! YUCK!!! I just use less of the good stuff!

Hunger Games! Never read the books, but now I'm going to.

I think if it does fit it into your caloric intake, it should be okay. I try not to deprive myself completely of the food I like, because losing weight is all about self control. If I can eat a serving size of chips instead of the whole bag, I'm doing well! I believe counting calories works, and I exercise daily, and…

Chuck Norris slams revolving doors.

BAHAHAAAAAAA I think I have heard this before, but it definitely brought out a big laugh!!!! Thanks!

Still laughing about this one!!!!!

Eating a box of Cheez-its!

This topic comes up SOOOO much! My experience for what it is worth. Sad to say I have been a constant struggler with weight. When I was younger and needed to go on a diet, I didn't even know what it meant to eat back the calories burned from exercise. I am female, and usually decided 1500 was a good intake, and I…

This cracked me up!:laugh:

I ate half of a large pepperoni pizza the other night. I had burned a lot of calories that day, and felt like I could have eaten the whole thing! I stopped because I was feeling embarrassed, not because I was full, and I think somebody else wanted some!

Great abs!

Been there, done that! Don't be discouraged, but be thankful that you feel the way you do, it's the first step toward success! Keep up posted.

My kitchen is never closed, partly due to the fact that my son eats constantly. I try not to join him, and don't eat too late, because I can't sleep too well with a full stomach.

I have ALWAYS loved bike riding, and try to ride 20 miles every time I go out. I ride a lot of hills, so I think that is an added bonus. And it's fun!!! I feel better if I skip a day, though, so I walk 3 - 4 miles alternately. Hope you enjoy it!

Sounds like you're doing everything right. I agree with the lady who said riding a bike uphill. I live near a park where I ride frequently, and it is very hilly. I'm pretty partial to bike riding, but i do think it is probably the best for a tight bottom!

This is great! I was wary of that myself about 3 years ago, and after all else had failed, I decided to try it and the first week, lost 2 pounds!

Very nice! Congratulations!

My dad had cancer in the esophagus. He found out he had it on Father's Day, in 1989, had surgery 2 weeks later, and then died in recovery of a heart attack. He was only 52. My husband's mother died 2 years ago from cancer. My brother's first wife had ovarian cancer and died. On the positive side, my friend's son was…

Someone once told me I looked very "robust." I know he meant it as a compliment, but not the sort one wants to hear!

My husband has that and a friend who is a nurse practitioner suggested that when sleeping at night, my husband pull his foot forward. I'm not sure if there's anything you can buy, but my husband uses an ace bandage and pulls it that way. It might be helping a little, he has only just started.

I never see it as wasting calories; I'm usually pretty hungry when I get up! I couldn't go without breakfast, and since I am a morning exerciser, I need some fuel!

Yay! Looking forward to seeing more pictures at the end of your journey! Keep up the good work!

You look great! My favorite thing to look at: before and after pictures! Very inspiring.

I try to eat all of my calories, but if it's too late in the evening I might not. I can't sleep very well with food on my stomach!

Really great!
