You didn't get any replies to this thread because you didn't really say what you wanted to discuss. Yes, growing your own food is becoming more popular in urban settings.

I like cheese. Cheese does not like me. Sad panda.

Ain't nobody holding you down and stuffing donuts in your mouth. Put on your tinfoil hat and worry about a real problem, like Obamacare death panels or Google reading your email.

Yeah I used to hate it. I have tried and failed Weight Watchers several times for that reason. You just have to make yourself do it until it becomes a habit. By then you will probably realize what a valuable tool it really is. If you keep your diary closed there is no need to be embarrassed, no one but you will see what…

You should definitely clean out your colon! If you are having a colonoscopy or bowel surgery. If you are doing it for any other reason you are misinformed. If you don't have any medical issues your body doesn't need any outside help with detoxification. You have a liver and kidneys to do that and your intestines move…

Whether or not pregnancy makes you fat is entirely up to you. However, there are much scarier things about having children than a little weight gain so if that's all you are concerned about I'd say you haven't really thought it through. It is good that you are thinking about it though.

I have almost eliminated my plantar fascitis now but it took some trying of different things. After trying tons of different inserts in my trusty Keen hiking shoes and not quite finding the right ones I went to the orthopedic shoe store where they have a machine that analyzes the pressure points when you stand on it and…

Agree with above. Don't give up. Read the stickies and as long as you have a reasonable plan in place keep at it. I stalled a few weeks in too but I kept at it and started losing again.

My hubby and I love craft brewed beers and would have 1 or 2 every evening. I stopped when I made the commitment to lose weight since that's quite a few calories right there! But I found that I feel better and sleep better too. Now I have one beer when we go out for sushi every Friday. It tastes really good and one is all…

What exactly do you hate about jeans? Hard to make a recommendation without knowing. But, jeans do tend to be one of those items of clothing where you have to try a bunch on to find the right ones. I have found the Target jeans to be nice looking, decently made, inexpensive and they come in many different cuts/fits so you…

it's yummy with celery!

I lived on peanut butter toast when I was pregnant with my last kiddo. I have cut way down in favor of higher protein, lower fat things now that I am trying to lose weight but it is still one of my favorite snacks. I will always <3 peanut butter.

Toss the pasta with some fat free cream cheese and a dab of butter and some cajun seasonings. Throw in the chicken sausage and whatever veggie sounds good to you. Bam, Cajun Pasta.

Beet juice is nastay. But beets make yummy chips.

There are any number of free videos on the internet you can do at home. Try fitnessblender.com.

two slices of lunchmeat rolled up in a sheet of nori a cup of frozen grapes medium nectarine 14 almonds Jeez, you really don't get much for 100 calories

I like Old Navy for inexpensive tops and sweaters.

Goals (short term): Preserve lean body mass while I lose fat Strengthen problem areas (quads for knees, core and back for back) to make exercising easier and less injury prone and give me more options for cardio. (Long term): Maintain a normal BMI/Body fat % Be fit and strong Get some sexypants :) I have enjoyed the videos…

I wouldn't do it myself, and I would try to dissuade anyone I cared about from doing it, but in the end people are responsible for their own selves so it's their call to make. I know people who have had success with surgery. I know people who have failed weight loss after surgery. I know people who have died from…

Purple, I looked at your diary. You are still eating 800 calories per day or less. What exactly are you doing healthier this time around?

I'm losing on Zoloft but I have taken Paxil before and I recall how sedating it was. Taking it at night helped me have more energy. I think I may have actually lost weight on Paxil but I am a stress eater so once my stress was reduced a bit I think the weight at least stabilized. I know Paxil is the drug of choice for…

I've been at this about 3 months and have lost 27#

Whatever works! Some people can have that stuff around and some can't. I avoided it as well as I could for a few weeks myself but in the end I had to just learn to say no because I can't control what my coworkers bring in, whats served at parties, etc. I don;t think banishing stuff from your house is the wrong approach. We…

Ok, wow! I love that dress and you look fabulous in it! I hope to find my waist again soon too :)

Funny, how much sugar yo eat isn't even mentioned here! http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/insulinresistance/#steps Huh.

I looked at Minnie's diary...she eated a cookie!!1110!111!

Same question has been asked before, do a search and you will see a wide variety of answers, some of them reasonable and some not. I'd like to see the diary of the person who stays within 24G of sugar a day because I just don't know how ya do that honestly. I decided to take sugar off my diary and replace it with fiber as…

I made a yummy asian slaw with it once. I usu either make Kale chips, or sautee with some olive oil and salt and pepper, or blend some up in my morning smoothie.

Thanks for this, very helpful. I think I'm going to take the sugar numbers off my diary and replace it with fiber or something else instead.

Tagging to see replies because I have the very same issue. I feel like my diet is quite reasonable and I eat very few processed foods and still exceed the sugar allowance by at least double. I haven't worried about it since I am losing weight but I have wondered.
