Besides cooking with it, when I have hot tea, I stir in a teaspoon or so. It gives it a nice, creamy texture. Yum!

Thanks for all the help and motivation!!! <3

This depressing thought has plagued me also. I'm hoping more people will agree that I won't have to do it forever. But I know every time I've quit doing it in the past several months, I gain weight back. :sad:

I just got this book and was wondering who was using it as a dietary guideline. I agree that it's more of a lifestyle change, and I think it's something I could do. For those of you who do this plan, have you changed your MFP goals to reflect the sugar/carbs, or do you just track it separately? Thanks!

Bump

Thanks! I'll definitely try to watch my intake better and try to include some more potassium-rich foods in my diet.

I've just finished 48 ounces. My daily goal is 75, but I usually don't make it. :blushing:

Thanks!

Try not to get discouraged. I've felt this same way over the past few weeks. I finally went in and changed my setting to only lose 1/2 pound a week instead of a pound, and I have been focusing more on the TYPES of foods I'm eating, and a little less on the total calories.

If you're brave enough to make your diary public, people can look at it and give you good advice.

Also, if I have a craving, I try to cave a small amount and just keep my portion small.…

Bump.

I think once those muscles are cut, they'll never be the same. I'm glad to hear that the pooch can be decreased. I have a friend who started working out and lost weight after her two c-sections. She finally went and got a tummy tuck to remove the excess skin because she said no matter how much she dieted or worked out, she…

This is just what I needed to read today!!! Thank you!!!

Thank you! I like green tea and should drink it more often. I'm really trying to up my water intake right now, as it was definitely falling behind. I am re-setting my goal to lose 1/2 pound a week instead of a pound, and I'm going to try to eat my full calories without eating too much sugar. Thank you for all the replies.…

I just made my diary public.

I never know if I should eat my exercise calories or not. Everyone has differing opinions. And I just changed my food diary to show my sugar intake, which I think is part of my problem. I can stay under my calories but go over on the sugar. :(

Christina, we have the stainless steel versions that we bought at Bass Pro last summer, and we LOVE them!!! They keep the water incredibly cold and fresh. Thumbs up from me, too!
