Cut apple in small pieces and add peanuts. Sweet, salty and takes a while to eat.

"Diet Sabotagers". They are every where and I never understand their logic.

A few things that have helped me were: drinking a ton of water, cutting an apple into small bites and mixing with a small handful of peanuts (sweet, salty & satisfies the need for lots of chewing), gum, giving up artificial sweeteners (diet sodas). Eating lower calorie foods will also allow you to be able to eat more. For…

I don't think this would be a problem for me I love grilled seafood and it is amazing how much of it you can actually eat within a small calorie range. I went out recently for dinner and had about 800 calories left for the day, and ate: a bowl of jambalaya, grilled shrimp, grilled scallops, grilled grouper, sauteed veggies…

My neighbor once had a dog named Hubcap.

bump-looks yummy

You are gorgeous; though I am envious of that beautiful red hair. I can tell you have been working hard. Congrats & thanks for the inspiration!!!

Bump...Hope you find relief. I finally started visiting a chiropractor for the constant stiffness in my upper back. I gave up caffeine a few months back. Exercise helps me a lot, unfortunately I have not had as much as I would like lately. Wonder if anyone has advice on reputable/effective brand of vitamins, there are so…

Do you know if you have sleep apnea? The health effects were discussed at a w/c seminar I attended -speaker stated sleep apnea often causes high blood pressure, low energy levels, weight gain, causing more sleep apnea, high blood pressure, low energy levels, weight gain and so on

I love the lemonade flavored vitamin water.

Walking is a good start no matter your fitness level, swimming, Pilates (great low-impact stretches), bike riding. Jillian Michaels also has some DVD's for beginners.

Eric is hot, I am in lust!:tongue:

Love it wish & I knew how to steal it.

BUMP: I read that it is low impact , improves posture and balance and it strengths your core muscles. I have been considering trying it myself because my back has been in pain for months now.

cereal since you have fridge for your milk

Let your haters be your motivators.

Yes, I love to cook!:bigsmile:

Congrats, these are awesome! It is amazing to me how much younger everyone looks in their after picture.

Bump!!

Yes I have been doing it after seeing pictures of results on MFP. At first glance the excercises look easy but Jillian kicks my butt.

Get you blood pressure checked.

Wow! How dare you, :laugh:. Geez-you clarified that you heard it, did not claim it to be a fact. I think (insert disclaimer something about not being a fact but my own personal thought instead -no scientific proof, nothing wrong with my hearing -ok, so I can't hear worth a crap) that some take life/soda's a bit too…

Hi, my name is Julie and I am an aspertine addict. I was heartbroken when I gave up my diet soda's about 4 months ago after much defensiveness and attitude toward those that advised me to do so. I was desperate to try anything-something different to loose the weight-so why not give it a shot. I do still enjoy one on…

I wish; my husband is extremely sedentary and subsequently suffers from high blood pressure, sleep apnea, GERD, etc. I try not to nag him (because it is useless) but just lead by example. I used to follow his example and sit in front of the TV a lot but not anymore!!!

Great birthday present, awesome job!!!

What are you drinking?

bump - I am a victim of the nasty c-section pooch...

Looks Yummy. You and I have the same idea, I can eat large satisfying meals for under 1200 calories and I am loosing weight. I feel great and I feel certain my body will let me know when & if I need to eat more.

Yay! Glad to hear it!!!:happy: Sorry your friends didn't say anything I do hate it when no one mentions my weight loss, haircut, etc. I admit I will pout about it like a 3 yr. old for a bit...:angry: :cry:

I hope you will not give up that easily! Keep loosing and the day will come! You may be surprised though a lot of people will make snide comments and give you dirty looks. Every time I go out feeling all good about myself- I get the dirtiest looks from other women, at first I was disturbed now it just makes me giggle and…
