  • carrots and hummus greek yogurt with a pack splenda fresh fruit mixed in or mashed up Great Grains type cereal from traders joes I know it is hot outside, but soup is really fililng. Chili is much better for you than you think. Hot and sour soup (chinese)-low cal can eat alot, chili, blackbean soup and kind of veggie soup…
  • I think looking over the nutritionals is a great idea. BEFORE you go. You can get a feel for what options you have and you might be surprised. I always get the yogurt parfait and plain grilled chicken sandwich. However, if you feel like you have to have a cheeseburger and fries, get the kids meal. Portion control when you…
  • I adopted a 2 year old. She has been a sweet heart. Plus, there was no chewing, housebreaking, etc. She is so loyal and loving. After I got her I returned to work, she was lonely, so we got a puppy. They have so much fun with each other. Also, if you have a fenced yard, get a dog door. They can go in and out as they please…
  • When I did weight watchers, you didn't have to eat your exercise calories. You could "bank them" and use them for days of that same week that you go over your intake. I also agree that you may be over estimating. Make sure that you drink more than the8 glasses of water on the days that you exercise.
  • I agree. Don't say anything. Enjoy your success. You are the one who has to live with you. Prove her wrong and do what is best for you. When someone shows you who they really are, believe them and keep that in mind in your dealings with her, but find a way to casually limit your time with her. You are doing great. Look at…
  • Sorry- Try again Six pack
  • I keep a few things on hand. hummus-dip carrots, cucumbers, celery or pita crackers in it. Mozzerella balls marinated and grape tomatoes( marinade has the seasoning) I keep extras from chili or veggie soup in the freezer. Soup and sandwiches seem to do it. Also, popcorn (lite) cheese and crackers and grapes Keep some Lean…

  • For a long time, I didn't like cottage cheese, but I tried it again recently and really like it now. I agree with all the comments below. However, during the time that I didn't like it, I did like lite pimento cheese, which is has cottage cheese in it. Us either one to dip veggies in as well as eating it with fruit.…
  • I think you should just count your blessings. Before I started losing I was 300 lbs and my dad was 280lbs. His blood pressure has always been borderline stroke level on the strongest medications they could give him (180/120). I have always been a easy 100-150 lbs. overweight and my blood pressure has always been low…
  • I agree with the eat more protein. I add medical protein my nutritionist suggested. UNJURY(20 g protein per scoop)-order online no script needed, alot cheaper than protein you buy in the stores and tastes better too. Only protein supplement I have ever tried that unflavored is really almost unflavored. I put it in my…
  • I hear you SISTER! I have a goal of 1000 day knowing that depending on not being able to measure or chances of miscalculating I am probably really intaking 1200-1400 a day. Lunch seems to be my problem. If I eat anything other than Lean Cuisine/WW somekind of prepackaged frozen thing or soup, I usually blow majority of my…
  • Do you tend to be anemic? All the exercise can definately tap out your iron levels and make you tired. You may need to take additional iron before you go to bed (Iron can upset your stomach- if you take end of day you will have the most chance of taking it when your stomach is not empty and if you do get nauseous, you will…
  • It used to be Peak fitness. It is in Matthews Festival Shopping Center where the home depot is. $11 a month.
  • I live on the Charlotte side of Matthews. Only about 10 miles from uptown. Being on this side commute isn't bad unless there is an accident.. We love the Town of Matthews. I feel like we have the best of both. Small town family friendly feel of Matthews, but benefits of larger city. Moved to Charlotte from Raleigh in 2000.…
  • I actually have a total of 65 to lose, but have set short term goal of 15-20 pounds by my birthday March 6. Earlier this year I had lost 60 lbs. But "got off the wagon". Back on it now and I am motivated to get the remainder off. You can do it and I can too.
  • Just remember that you are still going in the right direction. It isn't the only day or the worst about over that you have eaten throughout your life. In comparision it is still great progress and give yourself the credit for making the effort. Don't sabatage yourself by beating yourself up. Don't let it thow the baby out…
