Change of lifestyle! I am less concerned with the numbers on the scale than I am with the fact that my current eating habits will likely give me diabetes and/or heart disease if I keep them up. It has been a life-long issue for me.

This pyramid looks awesome, if you like being constipated.... 0_0

Know your body, including hormonal fluctuations and the effects of medication. The scale could say I lost x number of pounds in 3 weeks, but when Aunt Flo comes knocking the fourth week, the scale can say I gained those lbs back, which might be water retention (then go down the next week). Also, not everyone is the same…

Hi there! I understand the frustration, and it does suck! First, listen to your body. If you get dizzy doing simple tasks, then you must need the rest. Maybe go to the doctor if you can or feel like something is wrong. Something like this might be out of your control, as I experience with certain physiological issues I…

Amen!! Self acceptance and love is one of the healthiest things to do for oneself.

YES! I am surprised more people are not telling the OP to go to a doctor. OP - you really really really should go to a doctor and tell them about the issues you have been having with your weight the past few years. (this was supposed to be a reply to a previous post, not sure how to put the quote in and not sure how to…

Go to the doctor and see if you do not have a more serious metabolism problem, as your weight gain and loss roller coaster honestly does not sound normal at all. Also, I would eat more than 1,000 calories. That is a sure way to tell your body to hold onto all the fat it has, as it thinks you do not have access to food. As…

The high winds whipping the tree branches around outside.

They are AMAZING, and named after testicles :P

I'd rather have an awesome personality.

It happened, it is in the past, now you can move on :). Sounds like you have been doing good overall, one bad weekend isn't a failure.

If it's about the crunch, slices of cucumber work for me. Special K has some new chips out that are decent. ABove all, if you want chips maybe you should have them....just have ONE PORTION at a time.

Is this a joke? If not, and if you really want to impress her, skip the commercial faux-food crapfest that is McDonald's and take her somewhere local that serves REAL food.

Working on true and total self-love! My final hurdle is how I treat my body...personality wise and how I look, awesome and I love it! But through abusing my body by eating terrible food-like substances, I figured I could never totally love myself if I don't respect my body and health.

My b-day is coming up soon as well...I just want to have a good day :). AND a day to splurge!

Straight up foraged foliage and greens! My friend Paul would often go around the neighborhood and collect edible plans, and make salads out of them, with home-made dressing. They were pretty good, some are good juiced, too!

DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went through caffeine/pop withdrawal last week and the weekend, and one day I felt so terrible I was about to give in. Just don't, I didn't and the next day I was all better. Stay strong! Maybe have some tea if you want some caffeine.

Hey there, I just went through this. Your body isn't missing it, please don't have that perspective. Your body is healing from the damage it temporarily does to you, specifically soda with caffeine. Headache is indicative of caffeine withdrawal. Caffeine causes a 40% drop in blood flow to the brain. It blocks adenosine,…

I am 5'2"! This is the plan I am following...this time around I have only started a little over a week ago, but I did this before and it worked out really well. The "diet" is to have a balanced diet. This is based off of Medical Weight Loss Clinic's plan, which is a place here in Michigan. It's about portion sizes and…

lol, oh goodness!

Supportive woman here! I like to reply to comments/updates when I see them. Feel free to add, and I will add back :).

Just eat it! 'cados are soo good!

I am doing my own thing but it is based off of the Medical Weight Loss Clinic "diet" (a place here in Michigan). This is it: 3 servings vegetables 3 servings fruit 2 servings proteins 3 servings starches/carbs. I also eat a string cheese stick or yogurt cup some days. Along with this, I keep track of my calories and…

It's not sugar, though. (there is no sugar in Propel) Propel has a list of artificial preservatives and colorings. It's your choice if you want to put that in your body but the question of "is it water" should obviously answered when your "Water" has an ingredient list.

Except that that "Stuff" is artificial coloring, sweetening, and preservatives. To some people EDTA is a very concerning chemical and I personally try to avoid it, not to mention all the other manufactured crap in that ingredient list. So, is it water? Hell no! If it's not H2O it isn't water! Water's not supposed to have…

I didn't know water had preservatives in it!

Wow, it is amazing how many people think this chemical soup is H2O!

lol, no. Only water is water. Your BODY would not see "water" with added stuff to it as water. Just going a google search for the ingredients....does this look like water? Water, Sucrose Syrup, Citric Acid, Natural Kiwi And Strawberry Flavors With Other Natural Flavors. Sodium Citrate, Passion Citrate, Sucralose, Vitamin C…

Oh man have fun, just remember the pain is NOT serious, just nerve pain on your skin. That helped me at least.

Awesome
