@PedmomJill Yeah I dont really like to cook. I bake. My husband does the cooking so I struggle because the only things I like to cook are high calorie, high carb, comfort food casseroles. So all else fails I make scrambled eggs. It's just as easy for me to drink a protein shake..🙄 I know I need to exercise more, mostly…

Hi ladies! 43 here, 5'8 and currently 203. I was up at 213 (highest ever) and was like this has to change. I have to get healthy. I am on a medication to help with the binge eating (obsess over food until I eat it all) and it has helped me focus a lot more and not mindlessly eat. I am struggling with making healthy dinners…

You got it!

You got it! We all need some help!

I recently went on medication to help with my binge eating habit as well as starting counseling specifically for that. There are many reasons why we have these habits and they will never be fixed until we get to the root of the problem. It is not "just a lack of willpower ". This is often a mental health issue. Be mindful…

Make sure that you are drinking lots of water too. I find that one or 2 glasses off wine will make me gain 5 lbs of water over night and then clothes don't fit.

I use mine before I change into my workout clothes so that it is already working when I take off. My Dr told me that my specific inhaler takes about 15 min to get things completely open. So that's what I do. You might want to ask the dr or pharmacy how long it takes to work. Is it an emergency inhaler like it takes 2 min…

I hit 20 lb lost and sometimes I can wear a size smaller, sometimes not.. of course it came off my face and chest instead of around the gut where I need it gone the most... Sucks but stick with it, one day it will be boom 2 sizes down.

This. I usually try to make a note. Some times it is just Just Because day..lol But then when I gain 5 lbs overnight I know why.

Yes you can develop allergies or intolerances at any time. What about the turkey sausage? Is it the same as always or a different brand? Cut one out for a couple days and then the other to see if you have any changes.

ice cream would have lots of carbs.... so watch that.

I had one that had me coming in 2 times a week for months that did nothing for me. I switched and now I only have to go to her when I have an issue. I go a couple of times then I am good for months. I have issues with my hip/pelvic bone that are reoccurring. I think that you have to find one that works for you. Just like…

You have some time to decide. It is not like he is leaving in a week. Wait it out as much as you can and see where it takes you. If you wait until closer to when he leaves, then you will have a better idea of how stable your relationship is. Also as someone said, if his deployment is 6 months or less I would just wait…

It is a struggle for me to do that. If I should drive by a food place and it was somewhat close to lunch, then i would stop. Knowing that I have good for me food 20 min away at home, helps some. But it is still hard to retrain your brain to wait a few minutes.

baby carrots are my go to snack. I portion out some ranch so I don't go crazy with that. But I could snack on carrots all day..

It can be frustrating when you have lost some but not all of what you had planned. Like you really need them to tell you what you already know. I have not lost to my goal either and my husband will remind me to exercise or ask if I am going to... bah its my journey and it will happen as I make it happen. He is constantly…

It depends on where you start losing the weight from first. I lost mine first in arms and upper chest so those areas weren't as noticeable then say if you lose your stomach area first.

All the time! I spent last weekend just drinking whatever and eating whatever.....It is amazing how quickly things like potato and macaroni salad add up. I really had to step back and say yes its great for a little treat, but you can't eat like that often. I drank almost my days calories..YIKES! ...I am still learning by…

x 100 :flowerforyou: No one wants to be around the grouchy momma either.

I don't change what I bring, but when we have any sort of non-potluck type of gathering, I make sure that there is healthier choices out there for people. Before I didn't care if it was all chips and soda..lol

I have pizza every Friday night. Its from a local place but I have just used the Pizza Hut numbers. I am guessing that its actually less than that but that's what I go with for that day. I guess if you find something that is close in toppings, size, stick with it so that your logging is consistent.

If you have a chiropractor you may just need to see them. Mine will go out and I can hardly walk, couple of adjustments and I am back on track. Take some advil, rest and see what happens.

I had to make sure that I had no cash to buy goodies and the above suggestion. I had to go cold turkey for about 3-4 weeks because it was just a habit to pick up a candy bar or chips or whatever on the way through the check out. You will gain confidence in yourself to be able break that habit.

The only bad food is the stuff that is rotten and the dog won't eat :laugh:

Try to count when you breathe in and out. My husband had to call cadence (sp?) when we first started so that I could time my breathing because I was holding my breath. I still have to breathe in for 2 out for 2 when I first get going or I get all messed up. Then I find that I am just going. Make sure that you aren't…

I was just looking into this and found a nice link on their website.. http://toughmudder.com/tough-mudder-boot-camp-training/ I have no plans to do one but thought that the workout would be cool. Good luck!

And she does it all while smacking her gum...lol Love it!

Add it to you recipes. It may take a couple of minutes now but if you are like me, our family eats the same thing over and over, so its there ready to use for next time.

I love Life Choice Peanut Butter. I think they are only at walmart. 210 cal, 21g protein, and only 14g Carb (7g sugar). I have noticed that a lot of them are high in carbs/sugar as well as the protein.

Just because you buy the all you can drink card doesn't mean you have to go hog wild. Have a drink or 2, enjoy it and get some exercise in while there. My boss actually lost weigh on the his cruise from so much walking around that he did on the ship.
