Understandable, but it shouldn't be worshiped and over indulged. It should be eaten for sustenance, enjoyed, and end of story. Right? The thought that food is such an important part of out lives and that we NEED it triggers our mind to always "need" it. We need it to a certain point, for health and energy. And this is…

I kinda try to avoid the food without an ingredient list on them. hahaha. (i.e. veggies, fruits, meat, nuts) It's easier to keep track. :)

Like I say to everyone who says "as long as you are still within your allotted calories".... yeah, if you are not someone who eats this kinda things regularly I guess it's fine. What people tend to focus on is the weight and calorie intake and what not, but you ignore the idea that fast foods have a ton of nasty fat and…

AWESOME!!!!

I just ate some cheerios because I almost picked up my keys to go to the store and get some chocolate. haha. Plain Cheerios no sugar added with a little milk. got me through that craving.

Dang, thought you had a good Hummus recipe. hahaha. I personally love love love Gevalia. For years I used to order it online, but I see now that they sell it in stores. :) I make it at home with Hazelnut coffee creamer without adding sugar. it's good that way. And I went to Marshall's one day and saw that they sell coffee…

Yup! So I won't I feel sick and empty, then I end up wanting to eat everything in sight. eat high calorie healthy things, like nuts and oils and avocados. :) I'd avoid Fast food calories because they just aren't good for your over all health. That grease and fat just sticks to your arteries. And with all the exercise, you…

Wow! That is awesome for all the women and men out there working towards this goal. :) I am in a great relationship and I do want it to end up in a marriage. Maybe in a way, I can do my weight loss for that possible day too. :) It would be amazing to fit in a beautiful dress of my choice, not one that I feel that I have to…

Nice work! :) Inspirational. Were you wearing an HRM when you were dancing and jumping ;) I bet you lost a lot of calories then, hahahaha.

Yup, you really need some good Zumba shoes. And I love doing Zumba. I have some Saucony shoes that work really well for me. Though, I have been doing Zumba for a while now and my knee pain is getting worse because of the impact. My friend was a full time Zumba instructor and she had to cut her time because she was starting…

Ugh, I have that in one knee. I can't imagine both. I fight through it though. I don't like taking pain meds because of my liver and what not. But that is really unfortunate to hear. I did therapy for my knee a couple years back. It made it feel so good, but then I got another job and didn't have insurance anymore. :( I…

Dark Chocolate Almond Bark..... Yummmmm.... :) if I'm gonna eat chocolate, it's gonna be dark, less milk fat. :)

I do pretty much what savageman69 said. But I do not eat 1900 unless I exercise a lot. Eat veggies and it won't hurt your calorie intake much. :) Good Luck!

I don't plan to have a cheat day. Just sometimes I go out with family (like today) and I end up spending my calories fast. I never intended to "cheat" it just happened. I'm still gonna work my butt off the rest of the day and tomorrow. :)

May not necessarily be a carb craving, when I tried Paleo for a month I was always wanting meat. Once I ate a healthy protein bar or shake I was fine. Sometimes you gotta ignore what your body is "wanting" it's just used to getting a different type of food. Some people crave burritos or Mcdonald fries, doesn't mean they…

I see this as changing my diet all together. I don't "award" myself a day to eat whatever because food is not the reward. The reward will be fitting into those cute jeans when I lose the weight. Yes, I have those days that I eat candy and treats, but I don't see that as a reward. I end up regretting it because I work my…

I would lower my calorie intake and gain weight all the time. You should just eat more healthy calories and keep up the exercise. :)

I have learned to use both, but trust the tape measure :) Inches are dropping, but weight kinda hangs around, maybe I'm gaining muscle? I don't know.

No kids here. Just from gaining and losing and gaining and losing. I've had stretch marks since I was young, i've had them on my hips since I can remember. They suck. But I've tried Mederma and Cocoa butter and all of that. I guess I don't mind them now. I'm used to them.

Beating yourself up for eating that way is what is killing our motivation. :) One day just go for a jog, then do it everyday after that. You'll start feeling like you have more energy and you will start feeling better about yourself. Don't get yourself down, it isn't the end of the world. You've already identified your…

I will probably just put them in my profile.

How do you wake Lady Gaga up?.... P p p poke Her Face p p poke her face. Hahahaha! My nice told me that one. oh and...... What kind of meat does Lady Gaga eat?..... Raw raw raw a a! :D

It's always easier to have a goal, because then you have a way to push yourself to do it and when it should get done by. If you just say, "well sometime next year" The next year will come and then you will say, "well, okay, sometime next year" it will not get done in a timely fashion. Then, you go on ten years later…

I have been trying to get to 190 by August 3rd. That is the day that I'm going in for surgery and the surgeon didn't say that I needed to lose weight, all of the blood work came out good, but I want to lose this weight for myself and I know healing is easier and faster when you are not over weight. I am not quite at my…

I recently tried this bread from Great Harvest Bread Company. It was amazing.... it was about 140 cals. per slice... but it is so good. With nuts and grains in it. Whenever I did eat it I ate one slice with peanut butter on it with coffee on the side and that was my meal. Hahaha.

I know most people will say this is stupid, but I am a firm believer that sweeteners are worse for you, Your body works better with things that it is familiar with, sugar from the cane is fine.... in moderation. So many things have sugar in it though that sometimes I'm not even aware of it. I usually go over my sugar…

:) a stone sounds so much nicer than a pound. hehe. I will just say from now on, I'm 14 stone. :D

Haha.... Yup, my chonies used to shrink all the time.... dang dryer..... but I've switched detergents, it's called "Healthy". HAHAHAHAHA!!! Seriously, I put my undies on now and they are all saggy around my body, I guess it's time for new ones :) But that day for new clothes will come when I reach my goal.

hahahahahhahahahhahahhahahahhahaha...lol...^^^THIS^^^

It's not really about the word DIET because the original definition is: the food that a person or animal usually consumes. People nowadays have slaughtered the word to mean something different and forbidden. I don't say, "I'm on a diet", I say, "I've changed my diet". When someone says something to you about your own diet,…
