Hop down to the supermarket and take a peek at some of the snack foods available to you. I'm constantly surprised by what I -can- have, even if they're not the 'cleanest' choices. Adding a special snack into my day can often bump me out of the diet rut I also feel I can get into. Variety is great to keep you motivated, and…

Yeah. It's definitely hard when people don't -understand- what you're trying to do and look at you funny when you decline something you'd usually have eaten without thinking. Just remember, you're in control. If your sister brings you some food, tell her thanks, but you already ate. Or at least check the package first and…

Hi there, and welcome! There's -all- kinds of exercise listed in the database, you might just need to search smarter. Try searching under "Strength Training" instead of "Cardiovascular". It's right beneath it, just look down the page a little, after you click on the "Exercise" tab. If you type in "Squats" it gives you…

It IS hard. My very first day I got to about 1pm and I'd eaten all of my calories. I panicked! LOL People here gave me great advice. Something I learned is that I -had- to find low calorie snacks I enjoyed to carry me through between meals. Once I'd found some and had them ready and on hand at home, things got easier. The…

I would also encourage you to go and see your doctor if -YOU- are unhappy with the way that PMS is effecting you. As for your ex boyfriend, breaking up is an awful thing to have to go through, but it never kills you and the BEST part is, that it leaves you open to meet somebody who's going to love 100% of you, mood swings…

I'm actually experiencing this, today. Its VERY strange. I even went ahead and prepared some food and then threw it out because I couldn't stomach the thought of eating it. It's -definitely- not pregnancy for me, so I don't know. Maybe it's our bodies just adjusting. Not sure. I'll try to find -something- I want to eat…

Oh my gosh! Thank you -so- much for sharing your photos. I'm sure it was hard to add the first one, but it's an inspiration for me. You look great and all that in only 3 months?! Wow! :)

No! You're totally right, kimberk67. I had absolutely NO idea about what I was eating or how much. I actually thought I really wasn't eating all that much and now I look at my food diary and I have to face the fact that things have been really, really out of control. You're right. At least this way, I'm educating myself.…

Wow. I'm just blown away by the fast replies and the quality of the information you've shared. I feel -SO- much better knowing I'm not the only one to balk at the change and that there really -are- other people starting this at the same time I am. I dunno. It just makes such a difference for me. I guess I've got some…
