  • I was pleased too! Surprised, but pleased!:happy:
  • I'm also looking for recipes - haven't found any great ones yet...I do find using a sugar substitute helps lower the calorie count (be careful though, it doesn't work as well with some things - i.e. it's fine for making banana bread but not tapioca). Also Jello (gelatin) is great to make - it's super low in calories and…
  • Same thing happens to me - once I eat my Rice Krispies in the morning I'm already over my sugar. I don't pay too much attention to it anymore, especially since I'm still losing weight anyway. It does seem low though...
  • Everyone has really great advice! I'd just like to add that I'm a big fan of Splenda -or any sugar substitute (don't know if this is available in Kuwait). It really cuts back on the calorie intake and I don't feel as guilty when I want to bake cookies or something :happy:
  • Yummy! Can I come to your house, you're eating more interesting things than me :smile:

  • lol I have a hard time not going OVER my calories - I'm going into my 3rd week and was under my calories only one day and not by much, I'm usually over by a couple of hundred...but I don't care because I'm still losing weight :laugh: Everyone's different I guess.
  • Good for you!! Very inspiring :smile:
  • My scale fluctuates too much every day - I'm thinking of throwing it out the window :grumble:
  • Thanks everyone! Lots of great advice to follow - very much appreciated! :smile:
  • Please forgive me if this a stupid question but I've never dieted before...is it normal to feel hungry most of time? I just finished eating lunch (big salad, skinless chicken thigh and small potato) a half hour ago and I feel like I could eat a horse right now. I seem to go to bed hungry and wake up hungry also. Could it…
  • Oh no! I don't want to lose my boobs! :sad:
  • I had an eye twitch of and on for about 6 months straight and then it just stopped. This was before any dieting or exercise...although I was drinking 2 -3 cans of Pepsi a day so there may be something to the "too much caffeine" theory :)
  • This is the first time I've had to diet in my life. I have Crohn's disease and was underweight growing up - actually had to try and gain weight :noway: . I've been on some great meds for the last 10 years so the "healthy" weight crept up on me and here I am. I also get migraines so keeping track of what I eat on here might…
