Nothing wrong with them that I know of HOWEVER when you crave things, your body often needs something. I found I craved carbonation when I was low on calcium. I did some research and found this is common. Take a look at your nutrition break down and see if you have a lower intake in any nutirents.

Exactly!!! there is nothing wrong with any of these foods and true there really isnt a negative calorie. HOWEVER... what is the harm in incorporating these items into your diet. It is true that there are some foods that fill you up more (like an apple) or some foods that bulk up in your digestive track and bloat you more.…

AGREE!!! I love love love Leslie. It can be as easy or as hard as you want to make it. It was especially great for me when i first started out. It made me realize that i really could excercise (bad knees and all) I also 100% agree with the water excercise. I did water aerobics for a long time, its amazingly effective, you…

Its kicking my A**!!!!! I swear instead of etting easier as the days go on, its getting harder and im only on level 1! I can see where people get bored with in quickly, I have a small library of dvds that i can mix up to keep things different. it does get a little tedious doing the same one everyday. I doubt ill see huge…

Heres my theory on it... If i burn an extra 1000 calories in a day (which is normal for me) I am not going to stuff my face with 1000 more calories worth of food just to eat back the difference. If I am hungry I will eat, which often when i workout hard I am hungry. However if Im not hungry im not going to force myself to…

The more the merrier... anyoen feel free to add me :)

When I use fresh I cant taste it. I tried frozen once and yuck! Stick with fresh and its well hidden by the fruit.

Anyone can add me, one can never have too much support :)

I have my first goal set at 60 lbs but i really need to lose over 100. Anyone feel free to add, you can never have enough support

bring it!!! :happy:

Thats how i read it. You need to love yourself regardless. Its that love for yourself that makes you strive to be healthier.

I just started yesterday so Im only one day ahead lol Count me in!!!! Anyone who wants to add me feel free. No one can have too much support :)

More proof that it doesnt take much to make a big difference in our health.

Cheat days are a mistake. they are a binge waiting to happen. They key is to act in moderation over all. If you are craving some chocolate, its better to have a little bit when you want it than to wait till your cheat day. Healthy eating and weight loss is a lifestyle makeover not a fad diet or a diet at all. If you know…

the more the merrier :)

I started at 263, Ive been at it for a month now but im not sure how much ive lost since I dont have a scale. Im always up for new friends who understnand what its like to see 2's or ever 3's in front of our weight. Heres to pushing each other to be healthier!!

No diet aid will help if you dont first adapt a healthy lifestyle. There is no such thing as a miracle drug to make you skinny. They may aid in weight loss but it comes with dangerous risks to your health. Theres no point in losing weight if your going to be too sick or worse dead, because pummped your body full of…

there are a ton of things you can do with eggplant!!! eggplant parmasaen, eggplant cannolini, moussaka, mexican eggplant, plain ol season eggplant "steaks".... oh the possibilities are endless :)

I had cut myself down to just the flavored creamer and slowly backed off that so i wasnt over doing it. I kicked the coffee habit but untill I did I just made sure to compensate for the calories elsewhere. If yoru drinking multiple cups in a day, try cutting back on how many you drink. I was finallyl down to one cup for…

Hey we can all use all the friends we can get. :) Anyone feel free to add

Children shouldnt be taught to be ashamed of their bodies. I think american culture has over-sexulaized the body to begin with. Look at how many other cultures have no probelm with it at all. Our kids should be taught to be comfortable in their own skin, but should also be taught modesty when appropriate. I think along of…

I like my black no show socks, they match my shoes lol

completely understand this one!! My mom gives me hell all the time because i usualy only prepare vegetarian meals at home. She always turns her nose up. A lot of people do. Its sad that peoples minds are so warped on what truely healthy food is. healthy doesnt have to mean tasteless, cardboard crap like the prepackaged…

If your like me and you eat alot of homemade stuff, just add the recipe and it will calculate it all for you. If its premade just look at the package and add it or search on the internet and add it.

60 is my starting goal but i need to lose about 100. Lets rock this!!!!!!!!

first of all stop beating yourself up!!! it happens!! second: maybe try tracking these binges, do they happen for a reason (i.e you get ina fight with someone, your stressed etc..) see if there is some sort of connection to something so that you can try to head off the binges before they start and manage them a lot better.…

It makes a huge difference depending on what your "diet" was like before. I havene weighed myself but my pants are falling off already after switching 2 weeks ago. I do green smoothies in the morning and a vegitarian diet the rest of the day. before i ate whatever, but now i meal plan and make the effort to not just grab…
