You are awesome!!

I always go over on my protein but I personally find that a low carb high protein diet works best for me.

:blushing: :bigsmile: Thanks guys!!

I was in a conference all day and at 2:00 there was a huge plate of freshly baked warm chocolate chip cookies brought in for a little snack. I said to myself....I wont eat those!! I cant have them. Well, then I quickly remembered that I could have whatever I wanted just not the whole plate! LOL , So I ate one cookie and…

what do you mean?

I am the same way, I decided to buy a pint of ben and jerry's ice cream for my special treat. I decided I would have one serving and put the rest back for later......yah right, I ended up throwing it away cuz it was calling my name all night long and I wanted to eat the rest of it soooo bad! I have to just throw things…

I have heard this before but I would rather eat something filling and nutritious (most of the time haha) than use my calories for things that will spike my blood sugar, not give me any vitamins or nutrients or leave me starving in an hour.....:smooched: I guess that is what you have to take into consideration when deciding…

HI welcome!

Yes, they are packaged and you have to be careful, I make my own, I can give you the recipe if you'd like. Basic ingredients are oats, peanut butter and protein powder. All natural and very yummy!:drinker:

amazing!

I too enjoy a good protein bar or shake (or two) they really help me stay on track by fueling my body with the protein I need (plus vitamins)! I like to add a couple of ice cubes in the blender and it tastes like a chocolate shake!

That is so awesome to hear! I love looking on the site to get inspiration from the people who went through the challenge! Did u count your calories or just stuck with the menu?

Thanks! Here are some of my favorites: www.bodyforlife.com www.bodybuilding.com www.healthdiscovery.com:smile: :wink:

This may be true, but if you check out www.bodyforlife.com they promote and encourage the EAS protein shakes and bars as a snack during the day or before or after a workout! I know I have a couple of shakes a day but I dont buy the premixed shakes, I buy the powder and mix my own since its cheaper and I mix mine with water…

Just be patient, hey, its better to keep up the good work than get upset and give up! Maybe you just need some extra rest, take a day or two off and then get back on track, a rest might just give you the boost you need to keep going! Good Luck!:bigsmile:

Healthy choice came out with a 0 pt soup called southwestern vegetable or something of that type and it is soooo good! The soup is endorsed by Weight Watchers so it will actually have the 0 point pasted right on the can!:bigsmile: Its kinda expensive when all there really is is carrots, tomatos, a little bit of black beans…

:smooched: I have been there too, 360lbs to be exact, ( the lowest I got was 200 lbs) but then I became a smart *kitten* and started my old ways again only to find myself 50 lbs heavier! I have found no matter what, we cannot eat like we want ALL THE TIME just some of the time...lol! GOOD LUCK! I am so glad you are here! I…

Wow....that was really intense and too much like work, so in the end, there was a no cal vodka but now there isnt? :huh:

That is too funny! I wish everything had a self distruct button! There would be less crime!:laugh:

:smooched:

I really dont know what is going on but that really nice person who posts lots of information and is very supportive (ICANDOIT) I think??? sorry not good with names) and is very welcoming is saying GOOD BYE??? If I were her, I wouldnt let someone push me around, I hope she stays cuz I always look forward to her "2 cents"!!…

Anyone plan on a cheat meal once a week? At bodyforlife.com they suggest having a cheat day or cheat meal (Sundays eat whatever you want with in reason). I decided since 7days straight with out an ounce of "cheat" I would treat myself to a hot dog on whole wheat bun with the works, a large portion of french fries ( fried…

cool :wink: thanks!

Okay, eat 5-6 times a day, even if you have a small bowl of oatmeal or a boiled egg when you wake up to get your metabolism going! Going potty when you drink all the time is good, your flushing out your system, getting rid of all the toxins. It will get better once your body is used to your drinking tons of water plus your…
