Welcome! You sound serious and I believe you will succeed!

Good For you Skyra and best of luck!!! Welcome to the funny farm.

I wish I could NOT make myself eat enough! hardy har har. But seriously, I agree with Dave. Protein. I have a chocolate whey protein shake that I mix with ice and rice milk in the blender. You can also use frozen berries and make a smoothie. You can mix protein shakes with water or lowfat milk and ice.

Thank you so much. These are all good ideas. I forgot about gum. I really appreciate all of the support!

What do you do on your HUNGRY days? Please give me some ideas!!!

You are going to have such a blast, such an amazing, incredible, magical time!!!! I just went in February for my birthday and I have to say it was the absolute BEST birthday I have had since my 6th birthday party when we went bowling and threw a strike, but trust me this is like a gazillion times better than that!!!!

Hey chat group. I've been using tea, lemon water, 3/4 organic vegetable broth to 1/4 organic veggie broth, and whey protein shakes as fillers. I hope to lose a pound soon :):glasses:

Hi Melissa, Sorry about your back. I'm glad you are starting over. I have started over so many times it is ridiculous, but never before on this site. This is a great site. Good luck and I hope you are feeling better soon!

I didn't notice the title was wrong until you mentioned it. Now it's driving me crazy too! And I don't even have any seedless grapes but I have been thinking about them a lot lately. I love them!

Thank you for the advice. I do drink Chamomile, sleepy time or bedtime tea and it really does help. I just have to remember to drink it!

I go through it periodically. All I have to do is take inositol and 3 mg. of DFH Melatonin. DFH stands for Designs for Health and it is the only melatonin that I have found to work seriously. Get this though, I don't take the natural supplements because I don't like to "take" anything. I want my body to work it out…

What kinds of things are you eating to make your protein go over?

I'm sick too...Boo hoo hoo!!!!

I think there are varying degrees of eating disorders. I do not take this subject lightly and I do understand that it can be life threatening. I just have a tendency to overeat and I use to binge eat which I haven't done in quite a long time. I hope that anyone facing a serious disorder will get help.

Oh I'm glad it helped you find something you needed to know :)

Thank you sooo much for posting this! The dreaded plateau!!! And I did not know how to get out of it!!!

Yes this site does have that certain, as they say in The French, "Je Nous Se Qua"!!!

Thanks for the recipe! Looks Yummy :) Here's one that I made for Talapia. I used smart balance instead of butter, Light cheese, and veganaise instead of mayo. It is called Broiled Talapia Parmesean and it is soooo good! http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Broiled-Tilapia-Parmesan/Detail.aspx

That's okay, I was all gung ho but I'm thinking it's too restrictive for me!

Here is one from Taco Bell: http://www.yum.com/nutrition/menu.asp?brandID_Abbr=5_TB Anyone have others we can use?

He wrote Ultra Weight Loss, Ultra Metabolism, and Ultra Simple Diet. He cured his chronic fatigue. Any of this ring a bell with anyone here? I found a lot of tools and free stuff on his website last night and printed out his 7 day challenge diet. Anyone game?

Try some destressing. Here I found a link to hypnotherapy you can download for free and I have found it very calming and very helpful. http://www.davidpye.com/index.php?page=hypnosis

rice cakes drizzled with chocolate 100 cal bag? Also, organic dark chocolate is really not so bad if you just take a couple of pieces.

Here's my fav: http://health.discovery.com/recipes/recipes.html Hope this helps!

I vow to lose 5 lbs by that date!

Hi LemLem! Welcome to MFP. It's true, that WAS a saying about not trusting a skinny chef, but picture a skinny chef in your mind. Do you trust her? Of course you do. Now picture yourself, the best you, you're thin, in shape, Do you feel you can trust this person? Of course you do, this is a man who cares about his health!…

Hi Jen! Welcome to MFP and best of luck to you with the site :)

Hey mike, just curious...how many users are signed up to myfitnesspal? I think that would be a cool thing to be able to see when we sign on.

I'm not familiar with that brand, but I definitely believe in the power of cleansing. I do the perfect cleanse it is a 7 day program and I like it very well.
