  • buying clothes other than from a big tall store
  • I was considering bypass surgery because of several medical issues. My medical center requires potential patients to go through a 12 week life style learning program. Patients can't even be considered for the surgery until completing this program. Many people that finished the program were denied for the surgery by the…
  • I would stay away from Honey Bunches or most cereal. A couple of things I do to help. I am a type 2 diabetic. If I need to sweeten up my food. I use Splenda. I also would try just oatmeal with some fruits and nuts in it. It didn't sound good to me at first, but I actually enjoy it and its pretty good for you. I would also…
  • Only 5 more months till there is snow!!
  • If you are really honest about losing weight, you have to stop with all the excuses. One of the best exercises you can do is just walking. Instead of investing in a jump rope or videos, go out for a walk for 30 minutes everyday other day. You can take your dog with you and you don't have to really worry about side pains or…
  • Sure...add me if you like
  • I am not sure I have much advice to help with your diary. It looks like you are on top of keeping track of your calories. Great job there! This is probably not what you want to hear, but I wouldn't worry about the results of the scale. If you keep doing what you have been, the scale will take care of itself. From your…
  • I agree with a lot of the others. You shop and cook what you want. If he doesn't like it, it sounds like he knows where else he can get food. It sounds like you are in a miserable spot. To be 100% honest, it sounds like time for some really tough love and decision to be made about your future. Hope it works out for you and…
  • everyday on the way to my office.
  • you can me if you like. I log everything I eat and all my exercise on MFP. It works great for me and keeps me in check. Weekends suck for me too!!
  • I have been there with low motivation. I find changing up my routines helps with that. I will either change what I am eating, but staying healthy or doing different exercises. I think we all tend to get a little bored and loss motivation. Hang in there

  • Everyone has what I have learned as "A Lapse". If you know it's happen, you have won half the battle. The other half is getting back to living a better healthier life style. I like to plan a head and set goals if I am going treat myself. It seems to help me focus on meeting my goals. If I meet my goal to have a treat, I…
  • add me if you like
  • feel free to add me. I am kind in the same place. haven't used the in the past much other than just tracking my calories.
  • Add me if you want. I can be blunt.
  • If I have forgotten to thaw or defrost (what ever the proper anal way of stating that is), I will boil them in water for 30 to 40 minutes. I like to add my seasoning after they are cooked. They seem to be pretty juicy and tasty. I will also buy the pre-seasoned frozen chicken as well. I also buy frozen fruits. Add a little…
  • I am trying to quit and lose as well. I try to do something else to take my mind off it when cravings start. Going to the gym or walk during my cravings seems to help. If I can't do that, I get a mint or gum.
