If you drink that much soda a day cutting all of it will give you a killer withdraw headache. Try for a smaller goal. Cut out 2 a day until you cut them out completely. Remember if you start to get a headache to drink a little to stop the withdraw. I am also a soda drinker but now I drink a lot less and don't miss it that…

Well I usually Worry way to much on pleasing everyone and buying perfect gifts. Of course when I ask people what they would like the answer is usually I don't need anything. So I decided this year to stress ( a little less) I am spending less and buying the adults one gift. The kids I bought one gift I think they would…

When I stopped drinking regular Pepsi years ago it took about a week to get over the withdrawal. They say to not drink it until you feel a headache coming on then drink a small amount. Then again go as long as you can stretching out how long you go without it. Soon enough you will wean yourself off. I wouldn't start on…

I agree. McDonalds does NOT make people fat. People eating to much is what makes them fat. I am overweight but I also know its my own fault and am working on correcting that. I don't thing McDonalds needs to go out of business. If people want to eat there then it's a free work. Eat it in moderation and not every day.

Well I agree with most of what you said. The only thing that I don't agree with is that I believe MFP is a weight loss site for some. If losing weight is why there here then so be it. If it gets them healthier than so be it. People are here for different reasons. Whatever the reason I don't judge them. I don't believe in…

I think out of everything that is on the menu that is about the only option that would be anywhere near good for you. Mostly the sauces at these places are the worst. High sodium and sugars. i thing you made the best choice.

I think your husband might be trying to be supportive. He isn't telling you that you need to lose weight he is telling you that you are beautiful to him how you are. That should at least make you feel loved. That IS his way of being supportive. If you lose the weight I am sure he will love you for the new you. I know you…

A few years ago when I was running on my treadmill I found that (this will sound weird) but when I turned up the speed to my treadmill it was easier because I found the balance of speed I needed to run. When I had it slower it seemed more awkward and it didn't meet my stride. If that makes since. It was like stumbling to…

Interesting article. I wish I had to worry about over doing it. I need to get to that point first. :)

Bonjour Stephanie...Hope you find it helpful here.

Have you tried probiotics. They are sopose to help control yeast and regulate things. Its worth a try. I am not a doctor or nurse but have read a few things about probiotics. Or here is a site I looked it up on. http://www.holistichelp.net/candida.html Good Luck.

Work it out on the treadmill. Treadmill helps lengthen the legs. Incumbent bike makes legs look thicker and the rear look larger.

There is a place online that you can trade gift cards for ones you want. There is CardWoo.com/GiftCards and www.swapagift.com among others. I have never tried it but it might be worth trying to get what you want.

Starvation mode is when you eat to few calories for a while and your body holds on to the fat because it thinks your body needs it for fuel. I have read that if you keep your body in starvation mode to long it will be that much harder to lose the next time. It slows your metabolism. I looked at your diet and it only shows…

My profile was stuck on saying I had a friend even though I already accepted them. It was that way all day but has finally gone away. You might have to write it down and add it tomorrow. I think maybe MFP can't keep up with so many people joining. The website might not be able to handle it.

I recently found Sensible Portions Veggie straws at Sams Club. They taste like chips,are crunchy and are only 130 calories for 38 straws which is quite a helping. Low in fat also. They are my saving grace when I need a crunch fix. For sweets I recently bought desert gum by wrigleys. It tastes like Andes Mints and is 5…

If you want friends on here all you need to do is ask. I will send you a friend request. You will find this site really supportive and helpful. Good Luck and Happy weight loss.

After my father had his bypass surgery they recommended no more then 2000mg of salt. I basically go by that and don't add salt to anything. There is enough in your everyday food.

sure thing!!

sure thing!!

Thanks for all the feedback. We will see how it goes.

I always log it high because I saw a Dr. Oz show one day and it showed that most people under estimate what they eat. And i have found that is true in most cases.

That's funny. You make me laugh. I always wanted to try it to but thought the same thing. You will have to let me know how it goes.

I'm on a country road. We have a lot of people that walk up and down it but my neighbors have seen bears on their porches and in there yards. I do walk it but I watch very careful and don't walk early in the morning when they have seen them. I mostly use my treadmill. Nothing will want me for lunch in my basement. Well…

The constipation might be due to not getting enough fiber. It's hard to say what might be the problem without seeing your dieary but maybe take a look at your carbs,fats and salt. I know eating a lot of carbs stalls me. If I eat to much bread I can forget any weight loss. One week of no weight loss is not really a problem.…

Your doing great. I can't wait to get to a point where I have to go out and buy cloths. I went shopping in my closet a while back and had about 10 pair of pants. Four of them where brand new from when I bought them in transition. So I had a whole new wardrobe then. The next step I have to buy. That's an inspiration. Just…

Genna I'm still trying to figure out the whole calories thing. I have my set at 1200 but I seriously am starting to think it is to low. I keep stalling. I have lost 17 pounds but have been having a tough time getting beyond. So I would guess it is a game to play until you find what works for you.

First thing in the morning and naked. Your always lighter.

My allergies and sinus get me sick like that with changes in weather. That happened to me twice already this year. Other than that I don't know. I always got sick to my stomach from the drainage and the headache came from the fast drain from when I got sick to my stomach. I usually eat crackers. It seemed to help a little.

Yes eating to few calories puts your body into starvation mode. The longer you do it the harder it will be to start losing again. Eat at least 1200 calories. Did you put your info in to set your goal? Do that and it will be fairly accurate.
