I have overcome it in the past but it keeps creeping back in!! The only thing I have found that does work is having a 25cal hot choc/cocoa drink about 20mins after dinner, if the sugar cravings are still strong (and I know what you mean by going crazy if you don't have something sweet) then I brush my teeth and go to bed…

BUMP

I will be following your blog, I love vege gardening and will definitely be making your zucchini bread.

Sounds Fabulous! Will be making these, keep them coming. :smile:

I am going to try this tonight - sounds fab!

I completely understand this problem as I too had exactly the same habit every night and my husband was the same. I no longer eat biscuits at nights now as I simply don't buy them or have them in the house (if I did, I'd go insane thinking about them 24/7 and then eat the whole lot in one go!). I do have a low cal (25 cal)…

Congratulations! I know how it feels and its great! Make sure you treat yourself to something nice to celebrate, 20lbs is a huge milestone I think. Buy yourself a new lipstick or nail polish or new top to mark the occasion. :bigsmile:

I can second the Swiss Miss 25 cal hot cocoa drinks, I have one every night after dinner which is when I get my sweet craving and it fixes it (which still amazes me as I used to eat cake/cookies after dinner!) :blushing:

I eat a similar diet to you each day, exercise, reached my goal weight and started suffering from constipation (really bad). I was completely baffled as to why/how I could be bloated & constipated when I am so healthy and fit. I asked on here about it and had some great replies, what has fixed me is I drink a glass of warm…

Thank you!

Bump

THANK YOU to all who gave such great replies to my rather embarrassing question, I went and brought some Sunsweet Read To Eat Prunes last night, I just logged them into MFP and it says 105 calories for 4 prunes??! What prunes are 100 calories for 7, are they dried prunes? Do you just eat the prunes dried or some other way?…

I have never brought Prunes, wouldn't even know where to look at the grocery store, is there a brand that you recommend or a prune juice that isn't 180 calories a cup? Thank you to all who have replied, I have read and re-read all posts and will eliminate the yoghurt each day & cheese to see if that helps but will also add…

OMG! YUM! I will have to make this but will try and wait for a special occassion.

Are the Morning Star Vege Patties available at most grocery stores?

Don't despair, your diet sounds nearly identical to mine and I promise you if you stick with it, the scale will start to show your hard work. With only being one week into it, you might be showing the week before's weight on the scale, I too live in the country and can not get out walking due to narrow crazy busy roads, I…

Last night I did level 3 for the first time, I was scared about giving it a go as I have been doing level 2 for 3 weeks solid and L2 didn't seem to be getting easier! In the warm up Jillian says things like this is going to be much harder than L2 etc... I wanted to stop the DVD and go back to L2! I am pleased I didn't as…

Welcome Jean, you will find this site so motivational. I too am a total sugar addict and can sympathize with how hard it is to cut this out of your diet. All I can say is stick with it, I found the sugar cravings incredibly hard to ignore but honestly, I found once I had done 8 days straight of sticking to the calories…

Day 30 is today, keeping in mind I haven't been able to do the high impact cardio of level 2 for the last 2 weeks due to injury but I have kept with it (only missed one day out of the 30) and lost a total of 8lbs! I am thrilled with the results and the changes in my body. I haven't attemped level 3 yet as I am nearly…

Unfortunately I did hurt my ankle from this DVD BUT I don't blame the DVD at all, I think I just lost concentration on how I was doing the jumping jacks and it doesn't take much to hurt yourself if you lose form. Even though I hurt myself, I have done the 30 day shred everyday for 15 days now and lost a total of 5.4 pounds…

All I do is walk my dog for 30 mins (briskly) before I do the DVD.

I have been doing the 30 day Shred for 3 weeks today, the last week & a half I have had an ankle injury so haven't been about to do the cardio parts, I have modified the cardio sections with things like squat punches, walking on the spot doing jumping jack arms etc... If that helps you at all Kasuki. It is amazing how…

I make my own bread too but with the bread maker, I make a 1 pound loaf every night when I get home from work so we have fresh bread for sandwiches the next day. I know exactly what goes into it, anything that stays 'fresh' for over a week can't be good for you! :noway: Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

Thanks My Quinney, there's no improvement in my ankle but I am determined not to let all this hard work go to waste so I still did my level 2 work out last night but I didn't do the cardio exercises, instead I did cross punches and walking on the spot rising my hands like a jumping jack, no impact but still working/moving…

I am so upset, I did my level 2 workout last night (day 14) and I've hurt my ankle!!! I can hardly walk on it today and it is so sore. I don' t know how I did it but I think maybe doing the jumping jacks I rolled over on my ankle a little. I can't believe this has happened, I am so committed to doing this for 30 days to…

Do you mean basic crunches? By that I mean just shoulders off the ground?

Hi Everyone. Today will be day 14 for me, I am on level 2 but still struggling to do all the moves without resorting to the modified version. Level 1 was hard to start with but after 8 days of doing it I moved up to level 2. I think I will be at level 2 for another 4 days or so. I have definitely started to tone up and…
