Done. That's six glasses just need 2 more.

It really does put problems in perspective doesn't it. Great post. And prayers for your friend.

I also have trouble eating breakfast. When I just can't eat a real breakfast I usually eat a pure protein bar. It works for me as a breakfast and is filling. Sometimes I at least eat a banana. Good luck

I've heard many people say they double up on there bras. One regular and one sports or two sports. Its probably cheaper to get two sports because you can buy in multi packs.

On here they count as calories but veggies are basically free. Celery has sodium and tomatoes and carrots I believe have more sugar so it depends on how much of what you munch on really. Fruit has a lot of natural sugar so even though its good for you to much can be a lot of sugar, Just use good judgment. To much of…

All you can do it try, It sounds like you could. But I would do rice separately because rice takes longer to steam.

I eat 100 calorie snack packs. Just enough to take the craving away. I also eat almonds. They are filling and yummy. Sugar free jello is good also. Veggies are always good snacks. i Love to munch on tomatoes.

Join the club..:laugh: Oh I guess you did. WELCOME:flowerforyou:

Well I'm on the other side of the fence. Its great in theory if everyone had great willpower but in reality most people don't or they wouldn't need help losing weight. The one benefit I see in getting rid of junk food is that after a few weeks you don't feel the cravings for it as bad as you once had and don't need to buy…

I get a major migraine when I eat oranges or drink Cherry anything. Its not an allergy its called intolerance or sensitivity. I can't eat them all the same. I don't like cherrys anyway so no great loss but once in a while I get a real craving for oranges.

After your strokes did you go through the rehab program? How long has it been since your stroke? You should talk to your neurologist or GP about exercise programs to get you back to where you can do exercises on your own. Also your diet is the most important right now. Poor diet is a big factor in strokes. Maybe if you…

What- ME When=NOW Where-wherever I can Why-to be a better me. Isn't that enough.:happy:

I have mine set to private. I don't want people to judge me for what I eat. I make adjustments that work for me and only me. I am more accountable without people seeing it. I think some people feel people will judge them and then they won't stay the course. I say whatever works for the individual is what's best for them.

Tea is added to water intake but does your tea have sugar in it or caffeine? Try using splenda or another sweetener and decaf tea. I live on krogers diet caffeine free ice tea. It taste just like real ice tea. Coffee also counts as water to. The only thing you really shouldn't count as water is things like fruit drinks and…

You have started your journey. It happens to the best of us some faster than others but if it was just you gaining weight there wouldn't be a need for a site like this one. Accountability is a great motivator. Maybe you didn't eat all your calories BUT you didn't eat fast food. That's great. I to lost myself in the sea of…

Try a handful of almonds. They do it for me. Maybe even some 100 calorie snack packs. They work in a pinch. Also drink loads of water. A lot of times when we think we are hungry we are really just thirsty. I say go natural and use your willpower and a few snacks. Veggies, fruits just make it natural. You don't need drugs.…

Either way it made you smile so his compliment no matter how off it was did its job. It made you feel good. He was a nice guy.

Always eat before you go grocery shopping. It stops you from wanting everything in site. I don't plan which may be bad but life happens and if I can't manage it when it does I won't succeed. It happens to everyone. Just remember to keep your goal in mind. Whatever motivates you. Just keep healthy snacks around. Almonds are…

My suggestion would be that you don't have to change your workout maybe you just need to increase what you do. Walk faster, lift a little more, add more time, just add a little more of whatever your doing. Don't worry it will come. You have come this far and now your nearing your goal. That's GREAT. Then its just…

Absolutely!!! RIght On Target. Happiness is important in whatever you do. Great Post.

Hello and keep you chin up.. Things will get better. Great job on not smoking anymore. My father had a heat attack last year which was directly related to smoking and my mother died of lung cancer so I am happy to hear about anyone who quits smoking. As for the weight loss you said your on prednisone. Prednisone makes you…

I'm sorry that you have had so many struggles but you just need to know there are loads of people that are working through struggles also. it sounds like you are on the road to happiness and success and I am happy for you. I have only struggled with my weight since adulthood. I used to be a skinny girl but like a lot of…

Its wonderful when all the work you have done pays off. Congrats and keep it up.:smile:

I will try to weed myself down to drinking less. Having no soda on the other hand might be a little impossible. I don't even drink coffee. :ohwell:

I LOVE my books. I have a hard time getting rid of any. i have never heard of that. I guess it wouldn't hurt as long as its on the up and up. I usually buy my books in hardback though. I have to look that up though.

If you really hate saying your on a diet and you know they react badly you could always say it causes migraines. Which by the way chocolate really does give some migraines. Your not saying it gives YOU migraines just that it does. You wouldn't be lying.:happy: I personally don't care I say I'm trying to eat better. But…

Some people say its better to work out in the morning to start your day and get you moving and awake. Others say night because it makes you sleep. It's really personal preference. I work out more in the afternoon. About weighing...Well its a good and evil thing. I step on it every morning. I think it keep me in line but…

Thanks that's done. Free is good. :smile:

I haven't tried that one but have tried other Kashi cereals and loved them. never had any problems with them at all. They are lower in a lot of areas than other cereals. Lower sugars and calories on the ones I eat.
