Trader Joes's - Crispy Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies (you get 12 for 150 calories and they are so good) Light Cilanto Dressing (Its next to the salad on the top shelf)

These are SOOOOOO GOOD!! Very easy and perfect with Hamburgers/Sandwiches....

You can still work it off....Just make yourself work harder tomorrow and forget about it. I keep healthy food around at all times and If I crave something bad I might go get it..enjoy it... and go to the gym afterwords and work it off but stop beating myself up about it...It's not too late to get back on track.…

I understand you...I just posted a similar thread the other day. I was wondering if my weight was keeping me from meeting my soul mate. I live in Los Angeles and this city will really make you feel ugly if you do not look like a Hot Chic in the Playboy Mansion. I was always a yo yo dieter and I feel like I been fighting my…

Thanks for your story and support!!

Thanks for your comment!!

I can understand your pain of being out of work. I got fired from my so-called dream job on Feb 19th and I had never been fired before. I had just left my boyfriend/moved into my own place and my rent/bills was very high plus and I was stressed out my mind. The good thing for me is that I do the opposite when I am stressed…

Crazy....I can understand how that would hurt...."Make your Haters your Motivators"

Thanks!! I will try this

I like Newman's Ginger sesame dressing. I also use it on whole wheat pitas stuffed with chicken, spinach and mango salsa.

This is great I was just looking at it and they had another link for 20 superfoods for weight loss. I love reading good dieting tips. It is good to know that so many great foods are good for weightloss.

You can still mix them with potatoes and make them healthier if you really miss the potatoes a bit. I also like butternut squash so I will roast of steam butternut squash and mash it like mashed potatoes so other veggies can work too this is also a very tasty side dish.

You can also order the side salad and 6 nuggets on the days that you just want something bad. This helped me or just get the fries and bring your own healthy sandwich... each little step helps. Like today I am so tired but I am dragging my butt in the gym because I had too much rice during lunch today...LOL

Just take it one day at a time and do things to keep yourself busy to take your mind off of it. I know that cravings can be hard but it is all part of the struggle and you can beat this!!

You can also create them yourself if you are creative. I also take regular recipes and use healthy alternative. Trust me I understand how boring the basic foods can be. I created these light chicken pitas and I bring them to work for lunch. 1 whole wheat pita cut into two pieces..lower calories if you only eat one half but…

I found my answer but I also found some other research too... so maybe I should cut back on the coffee.. I pasted what I found below... Effects Of Carbonation On The Body # It has been believed that carbonation has been the culprit to stealing calcium from the bones. However, new studies have shown that it is caffeine that…

What about sparkling water is that carbonated? I like to drink it mixed with fruit juice to cut down on cal and to get in more water... I found some calcium supp at GNC for 99cent on sale and they have vit D and magnesium. 800mg

what type of calcium pills did you take?

Tomorrow is a new day so put it behind you and start over... It happens to all of us but do not beat yourself up. :smile:

You should try this all natural sports drink Zico coconut water. It has more potassium than a banana and taste pretty good and only 60 cal. It has no additives and is good for you. I like the Mango flavor. Hear is the website.:wink: http://www.zico.com/
