I know that when I drink it, I get instant headaches. Someone did a report in one of my college classes and it was found in studies to cause holes in the brains of test rats and mice. Then there's the good old fashioned science experiment where Coke will dissolve a nail if left in a glass overnight. Gotta love the scare…

Wow! 70 lbs! Congrats! Yes, please share your strategies! And we love before/during/after pictures around here too! I know that I am committing to use this website daily..no matter how bad it is, to track all my calories and exercise. Use the message boards to your advantage- there are people here with a wealth of…

I am SO trying this tonight when my 9 pm cravings kick in. Thanks Allie! :)

Sounds yummy! What kind of garlic did you use? Garlic powder?

Try some Deceptively Delicious recipes! I've heard they're an awesome way to feed your kids healthy foods without them knowing about it, lol

That's awesome! Way to go!!! Just picture a 10 lb bag of potatoes and 4 pounds of butter lost from your body!

You don't have to exercise for 30-60 minutes..Even doing 10 minute bursts a few times a day helps. :)

The way I understand it, is that you more or less cut out pre packaged foods which are full of preservatives. You eat mostly lean meats, veg, fruit, seeds, nuts..

I'm so proud of you. <3 If you've been sick, maybe your body won't let go of that last pound?? I don't see how it can't come off otherwise. Only other suggestion I have is to cut out a few more calories.. Or go on a cleanse.. It'll come off. You've done so well, you truly inspire me.

I'm having some girls over to watch it! I pre-ordered my copy thank goodness!

Use your Plus! I know you have it..hehe I haven't found where you can see the total daily calories but I'll fiddle with mine later on and let u know if I find it.

Atta Grrl! I love to swim too and it's unbelievable how many calories you can burn! Just gotta make sure your heart rate is up where you know it's supposed to be! Keep it up! :happy:

It comes from the 8 or more servings of fruit and veg I eat a day..though I usually limit my fruit servings to 3/day as per my doctor's advice. I also eat mainly whole grains, nuts/seeds, and lean proteins. Don't think I'm lacking in fibre or nourishment. ;) There's nothing wrong with fruit, IMHO. There's a lot worse…

I was told my my MD that I shouldn't have more servings of fruit than veg due to the higher sugar content in most fruits while trying to lose weight.

Hahahaha Ohhh ya. I think I always feel a bit nautious when their show ads come on Slice. *gag*

The one thing about the Duggars though, is that they have always supported that family with no handouts, and no credit. They pay cash for everything. (I even mean before the TV shows.) The big family works for them, and everyone has what they need emotionally and physically. What Jon did was so wrong, and he is bs'ing to…

I keep hearing all about the-pardon me- "anal leakage". That doesn't sound too attractive to me... :sick: Make sure you read the other link sent by another poster..lots of different views. It's your body, and your money. Knowledge is power! :flowerforyou:

All I can suggest is choosing foods lower in sugars (Glycemic Index)..they won't cause the crash when your blood sugar plumments. They will also stay with you longer and fuel your body gradually...eat every 3-4 hours. And Ya, what MommaPaz says..COFFEE!!!! :) :drinker:

Prunes! Ohhhh yaa.. ;)

Not hungry after you work out? Wow..I could eat the house..lmao :flowerforyou:

[/quote] That's what got me out of trying this one despite the desperation to lose weight quick and easy like Beyonce. Drink MAPLE SYRUP, LEMON, and CAYENNE PEPPER and eat nothing. For 10, 12, whatever days this one is. Really??? That is one of the stupidest thing I've ever heard of it but yet I still considered it and…

I was in the same boat you are in now, was frustrated with my doctor about not increasing my Synthroid dosage even though I felt awful. So I went to a Naturopath. After paying about $600 for different vitamins and supplements, and being placed on a really restrictive diet, I lost about 5 pounds in 3 months. The diet didn't…

This is helping me too..I've been doing this for only a month and the scale hasn't moved in about 10 days...I have been eating all my alotted calories and exercise calories, and almost doubling my exercise goals. And I'm only just starting out, so it sucks to see the scale not change. I'm going to follow the advice of the…

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Ohhhh, yaaa! LMAO:drinker:

Once upon a time, I weighed about 120 lbs, and as a single student, ate waaay worse than I do now. I lived on Kraft Dinner, Ichiban, Macaroni, McDonald's, chips, pop, and beer/assorted alcoholic beverages. But I also felt like crap, had bad skin, dry hair, and needed about 12 hours of sleep a night. I was always…

Cadbury almond ice cream bar

WTG! That's awesome! :drinker:

Been on MFP since May 1, and down 11 lbs. And I've been eating my exercise calories. Some days I eat all, some days not quite, but I also don't believe in not eating if you're not hungry, as long as the minimum amounts have been met. I've been advised by a few that once I begin to plateau, it would be a good move to vary…

Swimming is AWESOME! I've done this before and lost 35 pounds with swimming being my only exercise, and diet of course. It's good cardio and resistance training. I take a water bottle and am thirsty after doing a few laps, and am breathing hard. It does get your heart rate up, if it doesn't, you aren't working at enough…

Oh, one more thing.. lol Whatever pattern you go with, check the back for the measurements. YOu may be a size 14 in every dress shop in the free world, but your pattern size on the envelope will say 18-20! ;)
