YAY!!! Glad you could make it!!!! Sandy

Hi Autumn! I quit over 5 years ago using Chantix ... you should go to www.quitnet.com and join the CHANTIX USERS CLUB on there, that's where we all "met". I had mostly good side affects ... wow do I miss the wonderful dreams. Sandy

Some great ideas there. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how a can of black beans will substitute as flour for brownies. I've been doing some experimenting with Almond Meal already. Sandy

My favorite snacks - Babybel Light Cheese round, Black or Green Olives (healthy fats and really filling), Artichoke Hearts. Before gym on many days I'll have a "peanut butter cookie" that I make 1 cup peanut butter (I use extra crunchy) 1/2 cup splenda or Stevia 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla Mix well. Use a small scoop and drop on…

Peggy, Small changes and get used to them, otherwise you'll either feel overwhelmed or feel like you're missing something. I have made a lot of significant dietary and exercise changes over the last year, but I didn't make them all at once, I would make a change, wait 3-4 weeks until that change had become a "habit" ...…

I'm usually on the mobile app, which is why my responses to discussions are infrequent, and in clumps when I do. Sandy

Peggy, things will get easier has your dosage goes down, you're doing great! Don't get discouraged. My Friday weigh in (on Saturday) shows me with a loss. I'm getting so close to my next goal (loose 100 lbs)! Sandy

Thanks Bob! This is Sandy, originally pop9095 on the Q, now Zanth07 ... I've not gotten on the Q in a very long time though, but I was part of the whole "Motley Crew", quit in '07. Sandy

My OCD kicks in sometimes and I tend to weigh myself a couple of times a week, but my "normal" day is Saturday morning just after I get up. It would not be best for me to start doing it 2 days in a row, so hopefully it's ok if I just stick to Saturday?

I use unflavored chobani 0% fat yogurt. I find it's very yummy and filling if I add about 1/2 - 1 scoop of About Time Birthday Cake protein powder (I'm sure that a good store bought vanilla protein powder would be just as good) and a teaspoon of Polanar Sugar Free Strawberry preserves with added fiber. It works out to 30 -…

I'm still very much motivated, I hope that the changes I'm making now are lifestyle changes! I know that for myself I'm a carb addict. I do everything that I can to limit carbs ... if I don't I end up craving them and that is no fun at all! Most days I look forward to going to the gym even ... not so much today though ...…

Hi all! I have a couple of tips that may help: 1.) Eat slowly ... put your fork down between bites and chew a lot. We tend to have the need or desire, not sure which, to eat quickly, but it takes our stomach a while to send the signal to the brain that we are full ....slow down to give it time! 2.) Use smaller plates ... I…

<waves> I love myfitnesspal, been using it since February I think. I track food and water every single day. I don't track exercise on it though. I'd like to get a fitbit at some point in the future. Sandy (my total lost is from prior to and since using myfitnesspal)

Hi all, My current goals are to track food each day, keep my carbs below 50 grams a day. I am also aiming for 64oz of water or more on a daily basis. My ultimate goal isn't small, but I'm looking to loose another 82 lbs. Sandy
