I try to save 50 or so calories a day. I know I will miss something, I don't take bites or tastes, but I can miss something in something. if that makes any sense. I don't know how much salad dressing I used if I dip the tines of my fork into the portion 10 times, I don't know if I used exactly one tbsp of ketchup or If I…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: EXACTLY RIGHT:drinker:

Bamboo Does that drink have caffeine?:yawn: I could sure us a boost, but hate to drink too much caffeinated stuff. Did I spell that right? sounds great though, and I think the B vitamins also help with metabolism? is that correct?

Yippee!! great to see you all healed. hope you have been doing cardio or walking in the meantime though. :laugh:

protein and carbs have the same 4 calories per gram. where you go over on one, cut back on the other. drink lots of fluids. proteins burn slower, so you feel fuller longer, they don't raise blood sugars, and they don't cause cravings like carbs or empty calories do. you need some carbs though they should be fruits and…

YOU DID IT....that is a huge victory for you. One cookie from a plate of warm and inviting ones calling your name. you did just the right thing, you had one, so no one pressured you into any guilt crap, you limited yourself, so there was no guilt there and you took the time to accept the cookie, and throughly enjoy the…

Zen, you are very right about food being the center of our social lives. People eat for comfort, they eat for joy, for boredom, to play cards, watch tv, to play sports, well, I am sure you get the idea. and there is rarely food for all. its almost always goodies in one form or another. short of carrying a bag of celery…

I have NEVER had a picture taken of myself that I like. not ever, and my hubby is just the opposite, why is that? he can have scruffy hair and crappy clothes and looks great and I get all jazzed up and look like 5 pounds of sausage stuffed into a 2 pound bag. :laugh: I just overcame it by being the one behind the camera.…

maybe some crunches in your chair, or leg lifts or something that's not too exhausting, anemia is a hard thing sometimes. My hubby is and it can be a huge effort to get even a little done. But he does leg lifts, or bends in the chair, or short trips to the mailbox and back. keep moving if you can. every little bit helps.…

I like my treadmill, got the basic one from Wal-mart, it has a strong enough motor for me to run, should I ever be able to do that, and tension and an incline, it monitors heart, distance and calories. Its in the kitchen and I have a shelf directly in front of it for my dvd player. The downside for me is my feet get hot.…

I Loved the HALT thing. I have to log everything or I will wander from the course. Stopping and thinking about it does help. Also, having to decide if I want to exercise another 30 mins so I can have pizza is an enormous factor for me. :grumble: BTW, I re-read my first post, I am very sorry if it came off all B****y and…

You ARE going through withdrawl. :mad: it sucks but you had empty carbs and sugar on the pizza and now your body is screaming for more. instead of trying to figure out what you can have so you don't feel deprived, suck it up and drink a protein drink and eat some veggies and accept the fact that tonight you have to do…

no cheat days here. but there are days where the choices are harder. like when the boss buys lunch for the office. great. and its mexican. shucks. another hard one. but I order the taco salad with chicken, toss the shell, scrape off the green paste (ugh) toss the sour cream. ok, now I am having a small salad with less than…

FANTASTIC!!!!!:flowerforyou: :love: :drinker: :happy: KEEP ROLLING GIRL.

I like my hair...there is bunches of it.:love:

wow.:happy: If I count the pudding as a diary, and the banana is the fruit, what can I count the sugar free cool whip as? (other than bliss?) grin. I am going to look for those cutlets. Deana, try putting your vitamins by your purse, or coffee cup, or even by your toothbrush. I put mine by my car keys. with the idea that…

We spend as much for 2 people to eat right than ever. :noway: I can't even afford the luxury of lettuce and tomatoes are out of the question, I can buy celery when it drops to under 150 a package. I get my veggies frozen in bulk when on sale or even canned when I can find the no salt ones. its hard. but I like the idea…

Hey, don't take that crap from anyone..:explode: ....look her right in the eye and say...nope, just fat, how about you? let them stutter and stammer and get all flustered. Or say something really off the wall....nope, its the medication the psychologists place gave me for my violent reactions to stupid questions. Don't…

I like the idea of pre making the dinners. I prepackaged the food, like the chicken etc, into portions, but didn't think of actually cooking it first!!:grumble: probably should have thought of that. laugh. I do make the zero soup. I see there are several versions, but love the one I make with spicy v-8 and I do put that in…

Well I am 22 days into my 100 day journey. I am down 11 pounds and have met a couple of goals. I still have some things that need work. finding more than 30 mins a day to work out. making sure I eat as clean as possible with minimal empty calories. that is the hardest!!! Some of you guys started journies of your own....are…

measurements are a great idea. I want to do mine, but can't do it alone.... I don't think and don't want my DH to say it out loud!!:grumble: think he can do it with his eyes closed?

have you been losing up till now? could you be at the dreaded plateau? I am sure you can find buckets of advice on how to break one. just don't give into anger and over eat. remember for every moment you give to anger and hurt and frustration, that's a minute of happiness you have given up, and you can never get that back.…

you are a better woman than I am!!!:heart: wow, going out to walk in 40 degree weather? you seriously rock. I whine when it gets in the 60's and have to force myself out of bed. If you can do that now, imagine what you are going to accomplish when it gets warm!!! stay strong:drinker:

What brand of sugar free carb free vitamin water should I look for? I use the EAS as a between meal snack at 11:30 instead of something with empty calories. (yes, that's my mantra!!!) it has scads of vitamins and keeps away hunger, plus its chocolate :wink: I like not having to think about what to have. can you get too…

I have never heard of that. gonna go google it and see if its something I can do. I try to eat as clean as possible, something along the lines of a weight trainer but not as much. no empty calories is my goal. thanks for the input.

now you are going to have to change your name from maybesomeday, to rightnow!!! good work. :laugh:

I weigh every morning and then divide by 7 to get an average.

Hey girl, I broke my arm and dislocated my shoulder 7 years ago, took care in the rehab, all the things listed and one with a towel, dropped it over my good shoulder with my good arm and grabbed it behind my back with the bad one and pulled gently, so I could get the range of motion for reaching behind me. I have only had…

:laugh: EMPTY CALORIES!!! (Ok, necessary...but empty):grumble: How about an apple instead? :happy: I gave up drinking for the 100 day journey. mostly because I can't have ONE cocktail, one just makes me want to drink. so, I am interested in learning how you go about having just one, and what it does for you. do you feel…
