Pick the white rice over fried rice. I would stay away from dishes where the meat is battered, fried and then smothered in a sweet sauce. Dishes heavy on the veggies are good. It all has too much salt so drink lots of water.

Or you could just split the difference.

The three day thing makes you loose a lot of water. It's ok if you are getting ready for a photo shoot or want to look a bit better for a wedding or something, but don't expect the weight to stay off. If you want to get slim and stay that way, you have to make lifestyle changes.

Very nice. What a wonderful feeling.

Soup has to be the easiest thing in the world to make. If you start with a stock that is low or no sodium no fat, you can add veggies until the cows come home. Stay away from cream bases, tons of potatoes or pasta and fatty meats as ingredients, and you can just go to town. Oh, and by the way, morganadk2, that Red Lentil…

That so sucks. I know the feeling. Hope you shake the plateau soon. (I am so proud that after MONTHS on MFP, I can actually spell plateau without the little red line appearing underneath.)

Total LOL. I have TWO!!

Re-gift the restaurant card this Christmas and use the money you would have spent on them to buy clothes. I commiserate with you. I had a total fashion crisis over the weekend because all of my dress pants were puffy at the hips and looked stupid.

You will get used to it. Great job cutting out the soda. That's like an automatic weight loss bonus.

I would do that and then take some recommendations. Your brain is running around in little circles in your head like a hamster on a wheel. At some point, you are going to have to quit panicking and get proactive. Your brain is full of "CAN' T. You won't accomplish your goals with a brain full on CAN'T. Time to do some…

I eat at 8am, 10 am, 12 noon, 2:30, 6 pm and 9pm.

Exactly.

As you cut them, you drop them in a bowl of lemon water and then you drain them and put them in a bag.

Awesome site. Thanks.

Bacon waffles sound awesome, actually. I love bacon and maple syrup....

It's just "the slide". It will firm up.

I have a very broad view of what's attractive and yet.....

LOL.

So do my Scouts!

You got non-positive feedback that was gently stated with concern for your wellbeing.. You also didn't mention that you are being monitored by doctors. I hope that is the case. No matter, if you do this diet, be ready to shower and brush your teeth a lot. It makes you SMELL and have bad breath. (think rotting meat.) Its…

Fantastic. You are exactly right. BTW, I am so impressed with the progress documented in your signature. Your good attitude is really working for you.

Are you an epileptic child? This sounds like pretty much the Atkins diet to me.

I am wishing that I had something in MY crock pot right now.

You type to loud. (that is the funniest complaint that I have ever heard.) There could be a jealously issue. She could be afraid that you will do a better job than her. Someone could have said something to that effect to her. You could be cuter than her?..... Keep it professional and courteous. Use your cell in the…

Sounds super fun. Good for you!

You get the jitters. You might not be able to sleep. That's all I can think of. Coffee isn't a substitute for water because of the caffeine. Be warned, my husband repped coffee for years so I'm a little biased.

You have to act like the ice cream and baked goods don't exist or limit yourself to hitting the soft serve on Friday nights or something. Also, if I exercise before a meal, I find that it greatly curbs my appetite.

You can eat pretty much anything. It just matters how you prepare it. Look up lighter recipes of your favorite dishes for ideas.

Yikes! Both times I've had that problem I was pregnant!

Your waist!!!
