Paragard IUD. No hormones. No weight gain. Insurance covered 100% (minus $30 office copay). Lasts 10 years. I totally LOVE that thing.

I do it. Especially with lunch time. If Im hungry more than 3 hours before I last ate, I will drink 15-20 ounces and wait. If Im still hungry, I eat. Also works on weekends when my schedule is off. And if I really am hungry after I drink the water, I end up eating less because the water filled me up a bit.

I tend to get annoyed with the healthy sites. I just tweak the recipes from my favorite sites. I like the easy recipes she posts although its not every day. I love her chicken enchilada soup and Im about to try the Mexican Cassarole (I put it in the recipe analyzer and its really not too bad).…

Fast food salads are definitely the first thing I think of. They can be sneaky *kitten*. Also, frozen yogurt - "yogurt" doesnt mean you can eat 7lbs of it in a serving.

Ill do a crockpot soup and freeze the leftovers. Or steam a ton of brocolli and eat it all week. Make extra of whatever you normally eat and eat leftovers for a while.

Mix together and make patties. Cook in skillet. I ended up eating 1.5 or 2 of them. Husband suggested that I cook the onions first.

Hi Hazel. Great job. I started right about where you did so its great to see it can be done.

Different scales are rarely the same.

eat those *kitten* and enjoy every minute

I used to say that I dont have the time bc I dont get home until late then eat dinner late and just dont have the time. Its all BS. Im just lazy right now. No need to jump me about it. I know and Im working on it.

1. granite counter tops 2. food scale also, jager helps a lot

woohoo!!!

Thank God the viagra is low carb.

:flowerforyou: I really want to hug you for this. Like an internet stranger hug.

I stalled out at 1320 calories after losing about 40ish pounds. I researched the roadmap that some on here have had great success with. Now Im up at 1690 and the scale has started to move again. It took about 2ish weeks to adjust.

Im 26 and I have never in my life been trick or treating.

interesting...

When I was losing weight steadily, I set a goal to be in onderland by Dec 1st (which equated to 13-15lbs in 2-3 months). Then I platued 5-6 weeks ago. I know why I stopped losing but its been very hard to fix it. When I started I refused to set goals out of fear that I wouldnt make it. Then I set goals and Im not going to…

:flowerforyou:

I started in March but my husband didnt really start until September. Once he was on board it was kinda easier even though he would already eat what I was eating/cooking. Also, no matter what I said, what helpful hint I dropped or what healthy meal I cooked, it had to be his decision. We went on a hike in August and when…

If its something that people have eaten for 100s of years, I tend to think that in moderation, its ok. Eating 2 slices of pizza a week wont kill you but its not going to be my only source of calories. Anything with buzz words like "extract" or "cleanse" or even "organic" tends to make me wonder. I mean, dirt is natural and…

I delete people if they continuously dont log in (like if I see "blah hasnt logged in for 3 days" about once a week), annoy the crap out of me or have never commented on anything I post.

You dont hate halloween. You hate that you have no self control. For me, Im scared about Wednesday.

Things I use: - large water bottle (refill, refill, refill) - food scale - measuring cups - planning and more planning No attitude. Just advice.

My thought exactly...

Nope but I love the name of your topic. :D

Wow. Your hard work shows! Congrats!
