A cannoli! I told my Dad to hurry up and eat it. LOL!

MusclePharm is currently being sued for misrepresenting the amount of protein in their powder. http://www.forbes.com/sites/alexmorrell/2015/03/12/lawsuits-say-protein-powders-lack-protein-ripping-off-athletes/

As a WW leader used to tell me, "No one got fat from eating too many apples." I don't shy away from the sugar in fruit as long as my diet includes vegetables, protein and lean meats.

I love the Syntha 6 Chocolate Milkshake, especially mixed with PB2. I also like the Nature's Bounty Complete Protein and Vitamin Vanilla flavor to mix with fruits.

My niece likes water ices for her birthday. I don't know if you have a place like Ralph's or Uncle Louie G's where you live. It still has sugar, unless you get sugar free, but better than cake.

That gives me hope! Thanks! I actually enjoyed training to run. It gave me a great sense of accomplishment on something I thought I would never be able to do. I do other forms of cardio as well, but just the fact that I know have to rest and "take it easy" sucks. I feel like I'll lose all motivation and give up.

That is AWESOME!!! Great attitude! I say, "I didn't gain it overnight, and I won't lose it overnight, either!" Slow & Steady. Keep it up!

I started yesterday and it was difficult. I did it, but I'm not sure I can do day 2 tomorrow. I have been working out 5 days a week for 9 weeks, including 60 minutes on the elliptical. I think maybe I need to lose a little more weight? I went from 247 to 217 so far. Was it this hard for everyone on the very first day?…

One night stand. (Maybe two).

Tomorrow is a new day, sweetie! Don't get too down on yourself for "falling off the wagon". You have asked for help, so you know it wasn't the best thing to do. But to "want to die" because you overate? We have ALL been in the place where we feel like crap after that 2nd Snickers (or third!). Please, remember that you are…

Thanks for this post! I needed it. I was about to give up tonight because after being very careful logging my food, and definitely being at a deficit with working out, that scale hasn't moved, and went up at one point in the last week. I feel better after reading this. :)

I'm in!!! Good luck, peeps!

Hi Trisha! I'm Stephanie, and I also have 90 lbs to lose. I know we both can do it! :)

USA!!! Swimming, Track & Field & Gymnastics!!! Also, Marcus Browne in boxing...from my hometown of Staten Island, NY!!! Woo Hoo!

I am a HUGE FAN of P28 100% Whole Wheat Protein Bread, which my son gets for me from GNC. It is large and very dense, so one 130 calorie slice is usually enough for me.

On a website I saw (I'm not sure if I can name other websites?) she suggested Artisana Organic Coconut butter from Trader Joe's. She puts it in Chocolate, but you could probably use it with Vanilla and a little pineapple juice and get a pina colada flavor. It seems to be the equivalent in fat & calories as PB.

Incredible! Congratulations on your transformation!

I stopped, but I just stopped. I don't know what advise to give you. I stopped iced coffee too, which was my favorite thing in the world. Maybe try the 4C Sugar Free drink mixes to add to your water. I know if I REALLY crave a Coke, I'll have it.

I want to join! Sounds fun! I don't have the game, but I will pick it up tomorrow. =)

I did that tonight! Banana, strawberries, skim milk and ice, but I added some blueberries. Delish! I know several people also make the smoothie with OJ instead of milk. I feel that would be too much sugar, and acid.

I say don't deny yourself something you really want! You have to live realistically, and most of us will not be able to deny ourselves our favorite sinful meals for the rest of our lives.

Someone just posted a website, ThinDish.com. You enter your zip code and it will show restaurants around you, and the choices for meals under 600 calories. Hope that helps...but you can't go wrong with grilled fish of the day!

Good luck! I think the support here can't be beat!!! :)

This is a great start! There is more support here than anyone could ask for. We are all in this together! =)

Absolutely! My sister wasn't even trying, and as a postal worker with all the walking, lost over 30lbs!

You are doing such an AWESOME job! You look great! Keep it up :)

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! :)

Monsters,inc.

AGREED!

LOL! Thanks for that!!!
