Blueberries and Iced Tea.

I love this. Thanks for sharing. “Make no judgements where you have no compassion.” ― Anne McCaffrey

THIS!! I love it! Thanks for the laugh... :bigsmile:

Hi, feel free to add me as well. Are you involved in emergency services?

I have only deleted a few people and only after sending them a few messages asking if they are ok. If I don't get an answer back I usually wait for another week before I remove them. I am also trying to keep my list down to a reasonable group. I want to be able to support my friends and it gets to be difficult when there…

This! I also weigh daily, it gives me a better idea of how my body reacts to certain foods. I record my weight once a week and that is on the scale at my weight loss center. Measurements and how my clothes fit are a better indicator of how well I am progressing.

This. If I am going out with my husband we will plan to share a meal. Restaurant portions are huge and this keeps both of us from over eating. Like many others have said pre-planning is the best defense. We attend these wonderful winetasting dinners about once a month. I take the menu beforehand and figure out the entire…

Tea (just about every kind you can think of) Eggs Frozen Proteins (Tilapia, chicken breasts, ground turkey) Cheese Wine

Here is a fairly good explanation, but the quick answer is absolutely. http://www.sharecare.com/question/what-water-weight-gain

This!

Hi all. Feel free to add me too. I would be happy to provide support and I can always use the motivation.

Hi Beba. Feel free to add me as a friend. I'll be happy to support you.

Let's hop in the "Way-back" machine for a minute: I was working at Burger King in the 70's, during the "Have it Your Way" campaign. I was at the counter and the conversation went something like this. Me: Good Evening, what can we make for you? Him: Can I really have it My Way? Me: Yes sir, what would you like? Him: I want…

I am a Dispatch Supervisor for a federal wildland agency.

Absolutely have your thyroid checked, especially with a family history of Hashimoto's. Even the smallest variation in your thyroid can cause diminshed weight loss. It is almost always the first sign I get that my thyroid medication needs to be adjusted. I will suddenly put on a few pounds even with watching my calories and…

I am on 150 mcg's of Levothroid. I have been on thyroid medication for about ten years and was actually diagnosed when I went to the Dr because I started gaining weight while on a very strict diet. It is difficult, but not impossible to lose weight with a thyroid condition. I pay a lot of attention to my symptoms and am…

Any one of the Estee Lauder family of perfumes. My favorite is Pleasures.

Absolutely! You really need to weigh the intangibles in this equation.... The stress is going to create more issues at your current job and no job is worth your health.

Hi Michelle, I'm in El Cajon too.

I officially weigh in on Tuesday nights at Jenny Craig but I also weigh myself every other day in the morning.

:glasses: I already did. Love, love, love your motivation!

Well said! We are at our best when we support each other unconditionally. I joined this site because the site I used before didn't have this type of support. Hold me accountable when I need it, but support my successes as well. We all need a little help along the way. Learn not to read intent into someone's written words.…

Hi Denise, feel free to add me as a friend. It sounds like we have a lot in common and I could use the support as well.

Hi Robin. It sounds like you are thinking this through and planning ahead. My JC consultant always says that if you fail to plan you plan to fail. You should definitely eat several small meals throughout the day, the worst thing would be to feel like you were starving when you get to the party. Alcohol lowers your…

Hi All, I'm 53 and have been dealing with the hormones and a thyroid condition. I just joined MyFitnessPal after using FatSecret for a couple of years. I would love to have the support as well. I have 16 lbs to go. Feel free to add me. Lisa
