A couple of things that Jumped out at me were that you were not tracking sugar and did you actually eat raw plain cabbage and onions for dinner - nothing on them???? Where is the protein? Are you just eating spoonsful of chocolate sauce? Does it contain sugar? Is your pumpkin smoothie homemade? That does sound good....This…

almonds, slices of turkey, cottage cheese, yogurt, walnuts

bigdogc23 - he never wants it!! Heck - When he does want to - there is NO way that I am going to say no!!

bjohs - won't work for mine :(

Rainbowbow - I have said nothing for the past 5 years!! This year he decided he wanted to do something about his weight - I was very excited and he lasted a week - he ate healthy - wasn't hungry exercised 10 minutes a day and lost 11 lbs - we was walking around like a proud peacock! I was SOOOO excited. The following week…

Ahhh, the million dollar question. My husband takes 5 different medications for his high blood pressure. He isn't interested in exercising and gets quite nasty for I get persistent. I don't bother anymore and pray that I won't be a widow. His eating habits have gotten better, but are nowhere where they should be. He lives…

First, I would eat a snack in the afternoon. Second, I would up the water to 3 more cups a day. Sounds like you need a little more calories. If you are not eating until dinner, you are going to be starving and thus not eating healthy and overeating. Maybe eat something on the ride home (handful of almonds)? Also, is it…

Why do you think it is YOU tearing the family up if you broke up. I'm also confused as to why you would be homeless. Many people do not want to go to counciling - but why don't you go by yourself?? It sounds like you don't want to leave him at all - you just want him to change and want to get married. Leaving him because…

I did notice that your food diary has a lot of processed foods. Maybe that is the problem. Hot dogs, macaroni salad, brownies, icecream. Maybe cut those out just a little bit more. Maybe have them once a week and drink extra water? Try that for 2 weeks and see if you notice a difference.

I would definitely keep lifting.

When I first started - I had the same problem with water and the bathroom - I think it's normal.

Did you measure yourself before you started this journey? I would suggest you do that. I had a friend who gained 3 lbs, but it ended up being muscle - but she was measured for fat % after several months.

yes - settings - scroll to the bottom and it gives you options for sharing.

How about beef tenderloin wrapped in bacon??

Can you share your food diary?

Best - being fit and having a lot more energy worst - foods that I love now make me sick (severe stomach aches) - alfredo sauce, lobster bisque, etc.

You pointed out that you are the one to initiiate the texts and then he responds. Are you texting too much? Maybe he thinks your being pushy? A man likes to chase, not be chased. If you contact him yet again (i.e. initiate....he might think your clingy) - in other words, don't initiate another contact - it's HIS turn

I am confused - 1st you state you haven't eaten any sugar and now binging on chocolate. I totally get the binging in chocolate, but don't you think that binging might be a downfall? Unfortunately, it sounds like you are relying on food to help your pain. I get that too. However, this might be part of the reason for being…

What types of foods are/were you eating? As long as I stay away from processed foods, I do ok in regards to my fat and sugar consumption.

I noticed that you food calorie for the day yesterday was 872. Do you think that might be the reason for being tired?

I was going through the same thing. However, the gym I belong to had done a fitness assessment (measuring fat %, etc.) on me. A couple of months later, after eating healthy and working out routinely, I had not noticed a change in the scale. They re-did my fat % and I was DOWN 1.5 in my fat %!! Please keep in mind that you…

Whoa.....you are jumping the gun!!! As a woman who has had a c-section, you need to be patient! Although you might have given birth naturally, your body has still undergone some crazy stuff - carried and nourished a baby inside your body for almost a year! The skin will shrink, the fat will shrink, the stretch marks will…

I don't believe you stated whether its men he is working out with or women? If its men, I get it - he wants to workout with the guys. If he is working out with other women - that is not right - I would be very upset.

Everyone can do the same workout and burn a diffierent amount of calories. Age, weight, male/female all play a part. In addition to the previous post, some people might do the exercises at a different pace, again making it hard to even estimate how many calories you are burning.

Congratulations!! You are taking the right steps in order to be successful in your journey. It will be a difficult journey, but hey, you raised 3 kids so it can't be harder than that! Yes, you will hear crying from your kids because there is no junk food in the house. I went through it too! Good luck.

I would have gone to one of the trainers at the gym and told them what I just heard and ask if its true. Once the trainer stopped laughing, I would point to the two guys and state that those two guys just told that girl over there.......let the trainer set them straight.....

Doesn't the prep for a colonoscopy do the same thing?

I wouldn't hang out with someone who is inconsiderate like that. I myself, am insecure and it would be nice to have half of her confidence. I would not do well listening to this all the time and I would not want to go out with someone like her. Is she nice when she's not talking about her "thinness"?

I tried the devils food cake and pumpkin recipe - I thought it was disgusting (and I love pumpkin and devils food cake). My husband hated it too!

to hpsnickers1 - You definitely got my attention. I was going to view your food diary so I could see an example of the foods you eat. Is it possible for you to send an example of a day of the foods you eat? I do realize that my food is my stomach fat issue, but I have a hard time trying to figure out what to eat and stick…
