I started drinking almond milk or coconut milk. Regular cows milk is loaded with hormones and has about 12 grams of sugar per cup. This was really hard for me since I LOVE MILK and also use to drinks gallons.

Mine is open also. Add me. :smile:

It sounds like you're doing things the right way. Keep up the good work. :smile:

Several days you are really low on protien. Carry small bags of raw almonds or walnuts where ever you go to snack on during the day. More veggies. Something that helps my weight loss is to track my sugar along with fat/carbs/protein etc. Even sugar from fruit can impeed your loss if you are taking in to much. Good…

Arlington here.

Thinking about adding Biotin (it's one of the B vitamins) Sister says it helps with metabolism.

Here is the daily list: multi vitamin 2 glucousamin/chondrointin (grinding knees) 2 calcuim/magnesium Vitamin D Fish oil 2 Centrum Fruit & Veggies

What type of food makes up your 1200 calories? That makes a big difference.

It's a can/bottle of chemicals and non-food ingredients, how can it be good for you? Adding all those chemicals into your system impeeds your systems from working properly.

Kitty-You are right walnuts are a great snacks as are raw almonds. I always keep a small bag of them where ever I am just in case the munchies hit. I peeked at your food diary and you look like your making good choices. I would suggest that you add sugar as an item on your tracker. I have had great results by keeping my…

I have an addiction to Yankee Candles !! :heart:

Hang in there. I do agree with some of the others, you don't have to go organic but you need to stop the processed foods. They contain so much crap and chemicals and this is definatley effecting your weight lose. Also if you aren't doing it now add sugar to your tracker. Not only does excess fat make you fat but sugar is a…

Great idea.

no, it just shows your food tracking

I still cannot have any kind of chips in my house. But I think that my sweets cravings are under control. I allow myself 2 squares of dark chocolate 3 times a week and this seems to be enough to keep my cravings in check. This still amazes me, cause just a couple of weeks ago I would have eaten the whole bag 10 minutes…

Yellow cupcakes with chocolate frosting... Heaven...

Chemicals....chemicals....chemicals... Can't see how putting this JUNK into my body can be beneficial/ I eat as clean as possible and I do take a few vitamins to boost my health.

Awesome !! Keep it up. Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out.

Pepperjack cheez-its ARE NOT ALLOWED IN MY HOUSE !! Danger....Danger....Danger...It would not be pretty.

My name is Donna and I'm addicted to Cinnammon Vanilla coffee creamer. (recently kicked it) :drinker:

I also have a hard time not going over my sugar grams. It usually is within 10 or so and if the sugar is coming from fruit i don't worry to much . Then I try to addjust the next day to be on target or below. I would bet though that even if you go over occasionally your intake is still alot lower then before you were…

I used to use splenda also, I have since switched to Truvia (stevia) it is a naturally derived sweeter (less chemicals) I use it in my tea and even on my oatmeal.

Stay away from as much processed foods as possible. And try to really limit your sugar intake. People think that "fat makes you fat" well I have found that sugar is worse. I love my cheese too. I try to work some in a couple times a week so I don't feel deprived.

A newborn baby. That's great!:laugh:

Fresh baked chocolate chip cookies :sad:

Not everyday but several times a week. That's what keeps me sane !! :flowerforyou:

You may be getting in your calories, but are they quality calories? Try to cut out as much sugar and processed foods as possible. Sugar is a real diet killer. You would not beleive how much hidden sugar is in packaged foods. I added sugar to what my page tracks and I stick to the 26 g that I am allowed and I have lost 7…

Okay I get GW=goal weight, but what is sw & cw?

Good for You !! Few basic tips... Water NO soda Cut out as much sugar and processed foods as you can. You have to eat! Don't give up!!! Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out,
