If I bite it, then I write it!

You will have to walk before or after work, sounds like it is not going to happen there. But if you spend a lot of time on the phone and you do not need to be on the computer, then pace while you are on phone...

Have a big glass of water, and when you finish it, have another.. then when you think that you have had enough...... have some more water... the more you drink the more you get rid of.. and watch your sodium levels in your diet as that will encourage retention...

^^THIS^^^^

I am sure that somewhere in fine print, it states "your results may vary. And before begininng any weight loss program, please consult your physician..."

If there was a pill that worked, everyone would be thin!

In order of preference: 1. Water 2. Cold Brew Coffee. 3. Unsweetened Iced Tea

I have not read through all the replies, so I may be repeating something here. For me, the most touching things are the small things my husband does, that mean the most.... Write in lipstick on the mirror in the morning before she wakes up that you love her, And list the top three reasons. Do this every few days, with…

^^^^ THIS^^^ its your livelihood.. and your risk.. Mitigate it!!!

I can't see your diary! :(

Sometimes people will change for the ones they love, but more often than not, they change because THEY want to.. Did someone else convince you to get healthy or was it something you decided you wanted to do for you? Your fiance will either come to the realization that he wants to get healthy or he won't... What you can do…

I will eat a few ounces of Turkey (breast Meat- No skin, no gravy A tablespoon of cranberry sauce A tablespoon of potatoes (mashed and/or sweet) A cup of veggies AS far as desserts go.. it will depend on what choices I have.. Generally Pumpkin pie is one I cannot say no too.. but I will take a smaller slice and I won't eat…

Spend good money on the cookware... it will last forever.. You need one large deep frying pan with non stick bottom.. you can use that for all your saute needs Get a double duty pasta pot (large) with a steamer top so you can cook your pastas, ears of corns, and soups, stews etc. with a lid. Then a small fry pan for…

I quit last year. This is how I did it. I was smoking a pack a day. I set a quit day.. it was a process-- I set a date 90 days into the future. Then I gradually decreased the amount I smoked. 20 cigarettes a day for 6 days 19 cigarettes a day for 6 days 18 cigarettes a day for 6 days 17 cigarettes a day for 5 days 16…

Work on reducing body fat. But first have it measured with calipers. THen you will truly know what you have to lose. I carry my weight fairly even across my body, but my stomach is the last to give it up.. so I have similar issues.. I look better clothed than naked for sure.

find a few flights of stairs and run up and down them...

hmmm. so I could have avoided all this eating healthy and exercise to lose 45 lbs. Hmph!! Who would have thought it could have been so easy!!

I am 5' 9" I started at 200 lbs size 18-20 Feb. 2012 at 180 lbs size 16 at 170 lbs size 14 at 160 lbs size 12 at 155 lbs size 10 Sept. 2012 I generally carry my weight pretty evenly.. more hourglass than rectangular, or apple shaped! Hope that helps.

2-Minute Pumpkin Pie If you need a little something to satisfy your sweet tooth, whip up this 75-calorie pumpkin pie for one. This simple recipe, pared down to the most basic and common ingredients, only takes 2 minutes to make, but the end result tastes as delicious as traditional, calorie-packed pie. Ingredients: 1/2 c.…

This recipe looks much like any traditional pumpkin pie recipe, with less sugar. The real calorie savings comes from the phyllo dough crust, which is made from a premade product that you can find in the frozen section at the grocery store. Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 55 minutes Total Time: 1 hour, 10…

Let's see! My husband and I have never once discussed who does what, yet our house is clean, dishes done, bathrooms cleaned, floors swept and mopped, vaccumed, cat boxes done, lawn is mowed, house is painted, snow is shoveled, and we always have food on the table, clean clothes and a roof over our head............... I do…

http://www.tookshats.com/ I like these because they have headphones built in!!

I did not read everyone's post so some of this might be redundant.... Take baby steps to make a lifestyle change: after all, you did not get to where you are overnight.. it is not going to go away overnight either......... Cut out one thing to start-- carbonated soda, for example!! And add movement- walk half mile every…

Ideas from Internet 1) Dress up as you normally do. If someone asks what you are, tell them you're a werewolf. If they ask why you have no hair or fangs, explain that it's not a full moon. 2) Get a bag of white balloons and a box. Put the box over your head and cut out holes for your arms. Paint the box a bright color and…

I started it at 200 and could not make it through day 1. so I walked one mile every day for a week, then 1.5, then 2, then 2.5, then 3.. then I worked on speed. Once I was doing it consistently as fast as I could walk.. I had lost 20 lbs, and I then did C25K again.. I am stuck on week four and cannot seem to make it…

I am afraid to try it. I have weak legs, so I am not sure I can keep up!!! But maybe someday I will work up the courage!!!

Dont look at it as a diet, that denotes deprivation, and something that is temporary until you get to your goal. Look at it as a change in lifestyle. A place to learn where to control and fuel your body properly to gain longer life. The weight loss and changes in your body are a side effect of healthy living!!!

THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is just my opinion: You need to find some protein. What you are doing now, is not easily sustainable.. It is a journey.. not a destination. You will find that the deprivation will cause you to binge eat. And you will be disappointed when the weight comes back! This is just my opinion!! EDITED: just read that you do…

Sometimes the hamburger and fries in the kids meal is less calories!!!
