I actually decided to cut out all sugar 6 days ago because I am so addicted to it. If I taste it, I crave it and like an addict, can't control the amount I eat. I just can't be around it, unfortunately. Today is day 6 with no sugar including fruit , dairy and artificial sweeteners. I will reintroduce fruit slowly (and…

Awesome work!

Two years in a row I have gone for 11 months only to have a period on the 12th. This year I am praying I go 12 months... If I can make it through June - I'll have done it!

Yes - some of the JC food isn't pretty, but honestly, it is tasty. The only thing I can't eat is the chili. It looks gross and tastes that way. I'm at 1200 calories a day. But I end up eating more like 1350 because I'll add extra fruit during the day or veggies. Thanks for everyone's answers! I just needed some…

Yeah - if you are eating a ton of carbs -- like "white" or processed carbs - that's something you should look at changing. I wouldn't suggest anything extreme, like Atkins - but keep an eye on how many of your calories are coming from carbs like breads, potatoes, corn, pasta, rice and such. Also sugar... oh the dreaded…

Ladyinwaiting - I am 5'5 -- When I was 140 (which is my goal too), I wore size 6/8 bottoms and 8/10 tops. I was very happy with how I looked!

ZebraBri - How long did it take you to lose 87 lbs? You said "last summer" - so I just want to make sure. Don't be discouraged. Many many women hit a plateau and it can last for months. I am not a doctor or a weight loss expert but here is what I know: 1. Eat healthy - don't be a perfectionist about it - A treat here and…

I've read lots of articles that discuss how as women age -- particularly if they are menopausal -- they gain in their midsection. I certainly have noticed this to be true and I'm 45. Also - YES! Back fat! UGH... that has been growing... There is no such thing as spot burning... you just have to lose the fat, and make sure…

I bought a Polar about 2 months ago and I love it! What to look for? Depends on what you want to use it for. I wanted one to measure my heart rate so I would have an accurate reading of the calories I was burning during a workout. This is perfect - and it does a lot of other things that are really useful. I chose it after…

Today was my weigh in day and I was down 1.5 lbs! Total of 7 lbs so far in 3 weeks! Very happy! Good work everyone! It feels great to get lighter and feel fitter!

Sejainigam - did you start JC? How's it going for you?
-
OMG - So many people have posted! Is there a way to get an alert when someone has posted on a topic you are interested in? Anyways... Stacy - Not sure if I have tried "new" foods... But so far, everything I've had I've liked with the exception of a few. I have not had the homestyle chicken... I love the salad kits... LOVE…

This is really interesting topic. I drink Crystal Light - not full strength... I add just a bit to my 20 oz water bottle to give it some flavor. I find I can get all my water in if I do that. But I worry about the artificial sweetener in that too. The only other sugar I've been using recently is raw sugar - a 1/2 tsp in my…

Great job Diane! How long did you stay on JC to lose the 80 lbs? Did you do a combo of JC and eating on your own or did you stick to JC 7 days a week?
-
2reads kids - I'm from ND too! I had my first weigh in last week - lost 4.7lbs - I didn't exercise at all because I was just coming off a cold. This week I've been exercising - walking, weight training, yoga -- so I'm excited to see the results. I really like the food too. The only thing I"ve had so far that I thought was…

LOL!

Part II of my response :wink: If you need a boost - make sure you aren't doing the same exercises each day/week. Interval training is a great way to push through plateaus. Of course, weight training is essential for burning calories. Circuit training is a great way to combine weights with interval training. Cut back on…

I think it is widely acknowledged that losing between .5 and 2 lbs a week is doable. But, I also think you may be focusing too much on the scale, and too little on how clothes fit or your body measurements. Why are you measuring this by 7 - 8 lbs? Is there a certain size you'd like to be by the end of the month? If so,…

OMG! How great! That is inspiring!

Hello to you! I think you'll love My Fitness Pal!

I sent you a request!

You're not alone sister! But frankly, jumping is overrated. :wink:

That's cool! I've read about a lot of people doing that.

Hello everyone! I'm 45 and the mother of four boys and wife to one ;) I am working on losing 20 lbs and then I'll work on another 10 - if my pre-peri-whatever- menopausal body with let me. I love exercising, coffee, traveling, theater and SHOPPING! I'd love to be added by any of you fabulous 40 women! :smile:

I've never done Nutrisystem - although I knew someone who did lose quite a bit of weight on it... then gained it back. I know Jenny Craig is not a long term solution - but it's the right one for me now. I've only been doing it for about a week and I have to say I'm impressed. The food is really good. And I haven't been…

So inspiring! Way to go girl!

Super! Way to go!
