Sugarfree gum will help curb my sugar cravings. After about a week my cravings for sweets will diminish.

I have a friend that has been on it the last couple of months and has had a lot of success. It is easy to look at her and think how easy it would be to go onto medifast to lose the weight. I am always reluctant though because: 1. What happens when you stop following the plan (not drinking the shakes, eating their snacks,…

I'd like to join too! I'd love to lose 20 lbs by Christmas. I'm weighing in at 225.6 as of yesterday

I was an avid diet coke drinker as well. For years I drank diet cokes and in May I decided to cut them out cold turkey. I just thought no part of drinking this diet coke is good for me. If you go online and read about what a can of "coke" can do, it will may you think about putting it into your body. I also cut it out…

I like fruit (strawberry, kiwi, apples, grapes, blueberries) Low-cal string cheese / cottage cheese Natures Valley Fruit and Nut Bars Snap Pea Crisps (whole foods / trader joes) -- delicious! Chicken Salad with Ak Mak Crackers (these crackers are so filling - 5 for 115 calories) Fruit Roll-up for something sweet (50…

Here is what I figure the nutritional value is. This is based on 6 oz piece of chicken, 2 tbsp of classico basil pesto, 1/4 cup 2% shredded mozz cheese. To make it lower fat / calories you could use ff cheese and 1 tbsp pesto (1 tbsp of pesto I think is enough). I personally don't like the way ff cheese tastes so I use 2%.…

This sounds great!! I am going to a party this weekend; I think I may try these!

Maybe a dumb question... but how do you track calories burned with a HRM?

Thank you for all of the comments! I will start checking other sites out as well. I am about the same where I only eat about 1/2 of them.

Maybe just try telling them that you are trying to eat healthier; maybe even try making a healthy meal and encouraging them to try it. just an idea

Spinach Strawberry Almonds (you can do sliced or candied) Serve with balsalmic vinegarette

Oh!!!! I get it. Just figured out DTD

Heart Rate Monitor?? I can't figure out DTD... must be something racy

What the heck is DTD and HRM?

1 banana (or you could do 1/2 a banana) OJ (about 3/4 cup - low sugar version) Frozen Strawberries (about 1/2 cup) Frozen Blueberries (about 1/2 cup) I don't really mesure anything, I just pour in what looks about right. The less liquid the thicker the smoothie is. I've also added to this pinneapple, but have stopped…

I agree that you are probably eating too many carbs. I am a carboholic, and I recently stopped eating all white flour, pasta, potatoes, bread, and white rice. I am limiting myself to only eating 2 servings of good carbs per day (not including natural carbs found in fruits / veggies). I found that doing this has almost…

Thank you all for the ideas!! I'm going to have to try them out. :happy:
