I only log the calories the treadmill says I burn at the gym, I don't go by it on here, but I am going to try doing the stuff suggested on here :)

I ate 2 blue berries, stole them off my daughter's cheese cake LOL

I went from 7 to 9 dr peppers a day to 2 or 3, I am still trying to cut them out complely.

lol, I had to add 2 blue berries because my daughter in law ate a blue berry cheese cake and I stole her blue berries off it LOL...There was only 2 though LOL

You need to do it for you, and tell him that you have had enough of his attitude. First telling you he is tired of having a "fat' wife, is not only rude, but cruel. Keep your head up, and do it for you, not him. btw when you get back to "super model" dump him LOL... j/k but he needs to love you for you, not what you look…

lol!!!

wow you look great!!! Congratulations!

That is what I do now :) and all of my family (no joke) is doing this with me :) I am one happy camper :)

I am going to respond before i read the other comments, but your story is very touching, and I know it has to be hard cooking for 1 person. (I went from cooking for 8 to cooking for 2 and it was crazy) but I also learned what "freezer cooking is." I don't know if you have heard about it, but what you do is spend an entire…

It's because your stomach is shrinking and you can't hold as much, and I have noticed on the boards not so nice answers too lately. I ate a brownie tonight just to get to my calorie intake. I ate so much today, It's crazy how this thing works...

I am 41, 4 kids, and a grandbaby, My weightloss is a little slow, but I also have thyroid issues :( (doesn't work at all) I just take it one day at a time, I been doing this for a week 1/2 and I lost 3 pounds so far. It don't sound like a lot, but when you put 3 pounds of hamburger on a plate (its a LOT) LOL, I am 5'2 feel…

Thank you I did talk to them :) and I think I got through last night. I asked my kids to stop bringing me food home, when they go out, and just to respect my boundaries. That I wanted to feel good and not have 174 pounds on my 5'2 body. That I hurt all the time and I was tired of hurting. I honestly think I got through to…

I know the poster did not know I was very sensitive to aspertame, but I wasn't looking for "it's your fault" I was looking for other members that have this same problem with their families, and how they cope or deal with it, because honestly I was ready to just give up. I can read, or take positive criticism with the best…

I just added you :) I sat down and talked to them last night, Last night I shouldn't of ate the wings but I had no idea 4 bbq wings at apple bees would be almost 500 calories. (crazy) So I know not to do that next time. (skip wings have salad LOL) It is very hard with my family, it's not that they don't care, it's that…

You know, the rest of these post were helpful, yours just made me angry. 1. I can't drink diet soda, I almost died from it. The aspertame in it is a poison. (do research) I just started this whole thing so I am not sure what calories are okay going out yet. I will learn, but thanks for the encouragement and positive ideas…

Could you email the recipes to me at stitches@dollarstitch.com I can't see how to view your diary on here :(

I would love to know how you make your mini burgers! :) and mini cinnamon rolls :) they sound good and something I could totally do :)

Thank you these are really helpful. I ate 2 boiled eggs for dinner, but lunch was 1/2 cup rice with pat of butter, (garlic/salt) I ate 1/2 cup of green beans with potatoes. and 3 dr peppers all day, (cut down from 7 a day) my hope is to get off them soon with out the migraines. I figured cutting out 4 a day and eating…

I would love recipes, but it's more then that, in order to stick to something you have to also eat the foods you like. (in moderation of course) I was drinking up to 7 dr peppers a day. (was) I cut it down to 2 a day. I just start this, but I am drinking more water and tea. It's not about what they are eating, but what…

are you thawing your chicken in water before you cook it? I saw on a tv show that you shouldn't because it makes the chicken dryer.
