Me too! It is frustrating. I heard a tummy tuck is only about $2500 - $3500. I'm thinking of asking for that rather than the honeymoon we never got. If I can lose my weight, that is what I want for a reward. I've lost all the muscle in my stomach after 3 babies.

I personally like veggie sandwiches - a hoagie bun loaded with sprouts, lettuce, spinach, tomato - whatever veggies you like. A bagel with single serve light cream cheese (in the little tubs). Go old school -- buy a thermos in the sporting goods section and fill it with filling, low calorie soup. Google Cabbage Soup Diet -…

I'm sorry to hear this! I hope you get better real soon! I have heard of this and even heard of a lady dying from drinking too much water. I have been wary of that for years. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods

I agree! I don't think twice per month is bad. My aunt lost 60 pounds on Slim Fast doing it only Monday through Friday. On weekends (every weekend) she didn't diet at all. Currently, I am eating very healthy Monday through Friday and eating what I want on the weekends. I have lost 6 pounds since the 27th of December which…

I don't think it is mean. I think they are lying anyway -- or anorexic or bulemic.

Thanks everyone! Excellent advice! I'm embarrassed to make my diary public ;). I am weening myself off of Regular Dr. Pepper at the rate of 2 cans per day vs. the previous 4 per day. If I go cold turkey, I have severe headaches and withdrawal. I'm not looking to lose weight fast. I figure I gradually put it on and if it…

Graduated in 1990 at 121. I now weigh 179 at 5'2". 3 Babies, old, no metabolism - blah, blah, blah. At this point, I would be happy to get down to 150. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

I'm not young. I'm a 38 year old mother of an almost 5 month old baby boy. I'm not working because he has Down Syndrome and requires lots of therapy and appointments. To top it off, we just did a long distance move and I have boxes everywhere! I'm busy so I know how you feel :(. We went to spend Christmas at my husband's…

When I was 21 I dated a 42 year old man. He was a wonderful date / companion. We had nice dinners and went to all the Arkansas Razorback Basketball games. I did get tired of comments like, "You brought your daughter with you tonight?" or "We really like your dad. He's a great guy." Then I saw his 12 and 13 year old…

That is awesome! I'm proud of you! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods

Good luck! I too am starting over again and hopefully for the last time. I'm not on a specific diet. I'm only counting calories. I tried Weight Watchers and wasn't happy with my weight loss. I lost 10 pounds over a 5 month period. I think I was eating more on it than I am normally used to. MFP has me set at 1330 calories.…

I love Edamame. I found some at the grocery store in a box that has individual packs that steam in the microwave. Add sea salt and they are delicious and filling. I like things I can eat a lot of but not get a lot of calories. I am not big into celery sticks and carrot sticks though. I am hungry too though. I just keep…

Ditto. I can't believe I have let myself get this out of shape. But we can do this. I am taking small steps this time and not plunging in. When I dive in to a diet full force, I get really burned out. I am doing my 1330 calories Monday through Friday and not counting calories on the weekend. I have to have something to…

I would say that egg noodles are healthier. My husband is Taiwanese (I'm white) and just from knowing how he eats, the rice noodles are normally fried at one point or another and sometimes are fried twice. I haven't seen them fry the egg noodles for anything.

Great job on the 10 pounds! Especially during Christmas. I'd be happy to be friends. I need people to help me stay on track. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

My 4 month old baby rules my sleep schedule. If I get to sleep past 6:30, I'm sleeping! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

Raven looks really good! I would also like to have Jennifer Hudson's body.

I just signed up tonight and I have about 50 pounds to lose. My problem is that if I have a good meal, I want to eat about 3 portions. I also have an addiction to Dr. Pepper. That throws me off everytime. I need to work it this time = meaning the plan and work out. We could hold each other accountable :). Created by…

After spending the Christmas weekend being totally humiliated by my mother in law about my weight, I am really going to try at this. I don't ever want her to have reason to do that again! Because of my weight, she decided that for Christmas dinner we would have whitefish and rice. My son died in April of 2010 and I put on…
