It's good that you've got your wife to help you. My fiance and I tried to be healthy buddies but I always feel bad telling him not to eat things so I don't, and he's not very forceful with me either. That's why I'm here. Good luck! :)

Hi! :) Maybe eating sugar free things would help. I'm also finding that chewing gum when I want to snack is helpful. And of course you have your typical "drink water when you're hungry" schpeil. I hate water, but I put Crystal Light packets in it and it helps. Good luck! :)

Aw, I hate that for you! At least you've recognized that you've gotten off track. Now, just jump back on! Put the past behind you and only look to the future. No "oh, I got off track" only "here I go!" :) Good luck.

So glad you're tracking yourself to get back to good health! Good luck. :)

Wow, that DOES sound good--and filling! I'll have to try that!

I think if you go to the "track exercise" piece here and type in WHAT you did (ie, dusting) and type how LONG you did it, it'll track what you burned for you. I feel the same way about my job...I've been decorating my rooms at school, so I've called that "walking at a slow pace" because I'm running around all day, just not…

Hi! I've been here about a week now, and I'm wanting to lose about the same amount as you. It's hard to lose the smaller amounts, because it's "not as big of a deal" and a "smaller" lifestyle change. Good luck! Hang in there! Feel free to add me if you'd like.

I do use the powders, but I don't always have time to make a bottle of water and do all that nonsense early in the morning. Maybe I'll try the V8--70 filling calories in a drink vs. 170 filling calories in a drink is always better. Thank you!

Great list! Thank you.

I don't need to be reprimanded...I feel badly enough about it. Here's the thing, though--someone asked me to go to lunch with them. They chose McDonald's. I don't want to be rude and say no or say "can we go somewhere else" because I'm trying to make friends at work. So what should I have chosen?

Great! Thanks for the advice.

Problem is--I don't like water. Unless I am dying of thirst, I really find water to be kind of bitter. I can't force myself to drink it.

Awesome, thank you!

Well today for instance, I had a bowl of cereal, some nuggets from McDonald's, some apple juice and a Fiber Plus bar. For dinner, I am making homemade spaghetti.

I am in the same boat as you, girl! If you'd like, you can add me as a friend and we can try to motivate each other! :)
