Yep !! :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :noway: That's NOT where I need to lose weight !!!!!

A small piece of cheese and some fruit is a go to snack for me !! I could give up CHOCOLATE B4 I could give up cheese !!!!! :happy:

coffee & creamer !!! Egg sandwich } 1 or 2 scambled eggs, tblsp bacon bits or 1 slice canadian bacon on whole wheat english muffin. Keeps me full and gives me energy till lunch. :drinker:

Mindless eating....and I ain't talkin bout brussel sprouts......

I do one better....If I buy something with my cc I am not allowed to buy anthing else till that item is paid off.

Peppermint tea will help ease your stomach.....

STYX....Then and now. Just saw them last week and they are still rocking !!!!!!

crystal light's "pure" line is made with stevia. but all the rest of the line is made with aspertame. yuck !! I would stick with the pure line or I use "True Lemon" brand Lemon, orange or raspberry lemonade. I can usually get 6 glasses of plain water in but after that I need a little help...

peanut/almond butter.

Welcome. Just remember slow is good....Keep your head up and keep on keepin on !! :smile: :happy:

You can't shape YOUR life based on someone else. (Everyone in Hollywood LIES) Aim for your goal and then re-evaluate based on YOU. How do you feel, do you look healthy? Then adjust.... Please, trust in you and listen to your body !!!

KNEES ........ I don't know if my weight is totally to blame but I'm sure they would be alot better off if I could drop this 35 Lbs. My nephew says they sound like pop rocks!! Makes intense workouts REALLY hard.

My coffee has always been the hardest thing for me. I like mine sweet and have always used flavored creamer. I've been trying to cut out as much processed food as possible. Used stevia for a while but ack didn't work for me. I do use it in my tea. I started using Natural Bliss creamer (milk sugar & cream) no chemicals. I…

Just wait till the hot flashes and night sweats set in !!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

cut out processed foods, water water water, watch your sugar and make sure your eating enough protein. Log log log......

Welcome. Biggest tip I have is cut out as much processed food as possible. And drink half your body weight (in ounces) of water everyday.

Wait, I have a better idea. let's everyone over size ten go into A&F and stuff our *kitten* into thier jeans. Take up dressing rooms and keep trying on different sizes untill you have a huge pile of jeans to be re folded or rehung. Gotta keep those pretty people employed!!!! :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:

Would'nt shop there even if I was a "appropriate" size. I couldn't stand being somewhere with all the smart *kitten* teenagers and not being able to slap someone !!! :laugh: :laugh: :happy: :laugh: :happy:

Greetings and welcome !!:drinker:

I think I also am going to remove tracking sugar, cause it's making me nuts !!! :noway: Three pieces a fruit is waaaayyyy over the limit. Ugh !!

Just try to ween yourself off the diet as well as the SI. Like you noted it has chemicals (artificial sweetner) and they alter how your body's systems work and not in a good way. It's hard I know, my biggest obstacle is coffee/w flavored creamer. You can do it. Also remember water is your friend. I use True lemon in my…

Afternoon is always my "sugar" craving. So when I go back to work after lunch I take a protein shake with me (chocolate) that takes care of it when the feeling hits me !!!

Three lbs in 10 days, that's great. Keep up what your doing.

CHEMICALS = NOT GOOD FOR YOU. :noway:

One a Day has a new womens multi called Pettites. You take two a day (kinda funny) but its easier then trying to swallow a pill with jagged edges. Also your body can absorb more of the supplement if you take it in smaller doses, I take one with breakfast and one with dinner.

everyday: multi-vitamin calcium magnesium fish oil glucosamine/chondrotin ( :frown: knees)
