Hi. Posting super fast so I don't lose you and can make a proper newbie post tomorrow

Pan-fried pork loin chop, braised cabbage, and baked sweet potato

Posting so I can read later. Fibro, PCOS here, and multiple chronic pain issues (have been rear-ended twice, etc). I am just this week back eating more paleo bc the 2 times I did it before, it seemed to help my pain level a lot, and I had more energy. The problem is that the first week I always feel WORSE (which I…

corn milk

I wish I could eat the same thing, but it is so hard for me to do that. I have identified that as a trigger for me to go OFF my diet, when I feel like I am just eating the same thing all of the time. I really need to figure out what I can make in advance and just reheat for myself. Or conversely, what I can make and easily…

I'm not talking about them eating unhealthy things and only I eat healthy things. I am trying to sort of isolate different foods in my diet to see if they are affecting certain health issues, so I am on a food (not calorie) restrictive diet right now, and may add some foods back in. Their food may not be whole 30 healthy,…

I decided that I need to read more. So? I bought the entire Game of Thrones series for my kindle when it was on sale before Christmas, lol. The thing come all together in one file, so I could probably read for a month and be at like 4% done, lol.

Congratulations!

Any of you may add me. I am in the same boat.

That's great!! My dh started (this time) before I did. I have never had his buy in like this before, and it makes SUCHHHHH a difference!

Nobody is perfect at this, otherwise we wouldn't need it. The good news is that now that you have "screwed up" you can drop any perfectionist ideal of doing it "just right" and maybe start with the idea of doing better. Logging and trying to make some better choices is a good start. Those successes will build on…

Hi. I have found you again. I don't know if anyone remembers me. I have been here a couple of times. This time is going much better bc Dh is actually doing it, too! I am recovering from a month in bed with an unrelenting back spasm, and weeks before that with a strained acl in my knee, so any exercise is in baby steps…

Yes, it is unethical. You are purchasing something in order to wear it. That you are actively working to make that item unacceptable to you after you have used it (because it now will not fit) is not the responsibility of the store. I don't see that the line blurs just because it is a big store, either. They are forced to…

WTG!!!

I think that 300 calories actually gives you a number of options for the day. Vegetable soup and a salad with chicken would be filling and definitely not starving. You will just have to pay attention

thanks!

This really is awesome!

I like to look at others' diaries, too. I just find it interesting, and it gives me ideas, and reminds me that there is no ONE way to eat well. You may add me if you like. Mine is open

This, totally.

I'm not being at all flippant when I ask, "Why does it matter?" Let me explain. Whether you have your number set at 145 or 135 or 125, you need to take the same steps to get down the next 5 lbs, right? Just get yourself moving, eating well, feeling better, etc. As you have success, keep going. Have more success! The exact…

WTG for your workout! The dark place sucks. Don't spend any more time there! What can you do tonight to help make it easier for you to succeed tomorrow? You can do this!

http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/12/crock-pot-chicken-enchilada-soup.html This soup is probably my favorite, although I add way more cumin and cilantro, and also some lime juice (don't skip that, it totally brightens the flavor). I also use the roasted corn from Trader Joes. Sometimes I will serve it over a couple of broken…

Guessing that your sodium level is pretty high on this day, so that may make you retain water. Didn't see a lot of veggies, so maybe incorporate more? I think that if you are at the office and just munching out of boredom, you might figure out some alternate things you can do. The tea is a great idea. Maybe some stretches…

Another possibility is to make some pots of healthy chili, vegetable soup, shredded bbq chicken, chicken tortilla soup, etc. that are freezable. freeze them in freezer bags, and then get one of these:…

I haven't read all of the previous responses, but here's my take: I think that some people have this trigger, and others have that one. For some it is chocolate or crunchy things or whatever. Eating late is another. If it is working for you and isn't overly restrictive in other ways, then great! I think that it can help…

My husband tried it once. Not only did he think it was gross, but we both were shocked at how little of the food you are expected to eat is really included. Someone said that the "chicken sandwich" is just a gross "patty". This is clearly not a sandwich, nor is it a meal. There was a LOT of food (salads, bread items,…

Charlotte, here, too.

Shredded bbq chicken in pitas, broccoli slaw, and watermelon

I will gladly look older, if I can just FEEL younger!
