Dsmart

I put 8-10 oz of orange juice, 5-8 frozen strawberries and 1 tsp of green super food in the blender for about 1-2 minutes. Sometimes I might add a banana. I also recently picked up some Hemp protein at Whole Foods and do the same thing with the OJ and strawberries. I have the protein shake in the morning and the green…

Welcome! LOL, yes nip those sodas. Love the jelly roll, now when I see my belly I won't think fat I will think jelly roll...cute. Need energy, try a protein shake or just a fruit shake. I put OJ, frozen strawberries and a tsp of green super food and it's just darned delicious it is. Fruit gives me so much energy I can't…

I haven't figured that out. The people at work make me feel like things are my fault, like where we eat. It's like someone mentions going out to eat at a certain place then the first question is well can "she" eat there. I am compassionate to their needs and ignorance but sometimes I wish I had some support too. I usually…

Welcome! I just started yesterday and I have 65 lbs to lose. It's great to have this site and I love reading the postings and being able to communicate with others. I look foward to seeing how I progress and seeing the patterns in my eating habits. Happy counting. Have a great first week!

Congrats on being vegan, that's very good. When I go to friends for their barbeques or parties I bring a dish and they usually fix a salad.

Hello, I am new too and looking to lose 60 lbs. Counting calories has really helped me. I have already left behind 22 lbs by counting calories, drinking lots of water and doing some changes. Good luck on your weight loss adventure.

I do pretty good with the calories but the excercise part is just sometimes too difficult to do. I can keep my calories between 1200-1600 pretty easily for some reason and that is down from 2300 calories so I've done pretty good but it's been step by small step and sometimes I go backwards but I keep moving forward. I read…

What helps me are pears. I cut them in peices and when I need a snack I dig in. I can eat a pear about 9:30 in the morning and not be hungry til 12:30. None of the other fruits seem to do that for me. I've been told bananas help most people but for me bananas only make me even hungrier. Experiment around with fresh fruits…

I have been trying to lose weight, be active and eat healthy now for a few years. I go back and forth. I have lost 22 lbs this year so far. I am very happy with my efforts and want to continue but it is very hard to do. This whole lifestyle change is like twisting your body in ways it doesn't want to go...you know what I…
