I quit smoking 4 years ago using Thrive lozenges and began by slowly eliminating one cig per day and replacing it with a lozenge. I did this until I replaced more than have the cigs with lozenges and got tired of doing this. It didn't really take that long a few weeks maybe a month and a half. Eventually I got tired of…

I log everything i eat, even when I have my bad days like today. I had pizza and am going out later for drinks. I make sure that I keep working out everyday if possible. I fill up on salads and log all that too and find that I"m not as hungry. Fruit contains lots of sugar but I find that the more I work out the more sugar…

I run on my treadmill and love it; usually 3 - 4 days a week. I seem to keep getting injuries for some reason and have to take breaks. I've owned my treadmill now for 3 years and love the cardio, but I haven't really lost a lot of weight so I came back on this site to watch my calories. I have been doing pilates and light…

I'm guilty of cheating. I have to get better at finding the right foods to eat, but I've only been on here for about a week so I'm still learning. I made a promise to spend more time going for walks since the weather is so nice.

Logging my food intake and seeing the calories makes me more aware of what I eat. I was up north for the weekend and went grocery shopping. I had a package of chocolate fudge cupcakes in my hand and I watched as my hand put the cupcakes in my cart. I then decided that eating those cupcakes would make my calorie count go up…

I started doing this and I think its why I gained so much weight. Now that I'm on this site, I only eat healthier things at night and stay within my limit.

I'm in Mississauga too. I think the marathon here is at the end of May. I"m not ready for it yet though. I hope to be ready for one closer to the end of the year.

I hate the words: Cockroach buddy napkin tweak like nipple piss possee I hate when people say "how apropos"

I've had something similar happen to me, just in a different area of my body and I've gained a lot of weight because of it so I know how it feels. I'm there with you. I need the support too.

I love almond milk and one day I decided to break out my old blender just to see what I could whip up. I buy Earth's Own almond milk unsweetened for my shakes and Silk true almond original for my coffee. The consistency is different, Earth's Own is best for shakes because it's more watery. My favourite breakfast shake is:…

I tried C25K today and couldn't be bothered wtih running and walking in the small intervals. I found that I can walk for 5 to warm up and run for 20 minutes and walk for another 5 to cool off. Why not just try increasing the amount of time you can jog for or split it up in two increments of 20 to 30 minutes each and then…

I used to love Diet Coke and drank it once a day. I read that aspartame causes tumours, cancer and migraines amont other things. So, I stopped drinking soda pop altogether in February. Except last week, I had a gin and 7. I can't say that I miss it much. I even stopped drinking Perrier because the bubbles give me burps and…
