Hi Laura, I'm pretty new too, and am finding out that the cleaner you eat, the better you will feel and the more you will lose. Keep logging as you are, but add a LOT of veggies and fruits and (complex carbs). I weigh in on July 1, and know I've lost probably 10-15lbs this month. Look at my diary for ideas - but you CAN do…

LOVE Quinoa! I make it in a rice cooker - equal amounts water to quinoa. I always add cut up veggies - oninon, carrots, broccoli, zuchini, whatever I have and they all cook together. I like to add flavorings like low sodium bullion or herbs, and it comes out like a rice pilaf. Spray a little butter spray on it - YUMMY!

Grape Tomatoes are like CANDY right now - so sweet! Keep them at my desk all the time. Also, English Cucumbers are amazing - love the fiber with the edible skin. Yum!

Congratulations! You are a HOOT. For the record, I had colon cancer at age 43 and am now fifty, the age when you first get screened. I'd probably be dead without the first colonoscopy at 43! Definitely wasn't OLD then . . . guess 50 qualifies for old, but I still feel 19! Go figure.

Low fat cheese stick (or 2) and an apple. Perfect energizing snack especially around the 3pm slump.

Once per month - I am a scale addict and I let that number, good or bad affect how I view my day. Sad I know, but when I weigh in, I KNOW there will be a great and motivating loss. My clothes have gotten drastically loose, and my butt and hips are getting smaller! YAY! I will weigh on July 1 after starting MFP the last day…

My dream is to go on a vacation (cruise?) with my husband, and feel "invisible". Know what I mean? Not the "fat couple" everyone looks at, but just another husband and wife, enjoying each other on vacation. <sigh. . . > It will happen! :love:

I read this article today. . . I KNOW drinking 8-10 glasses or more water per day has helped me tremendously. My hair and skin look awesome, I have a ton of energy BUT I also feel healthy. See below. I use crystal light sticks in various flavors - mostly decaf teas - to make drinking palatable. Remember even high water…

Looking at your diary, you aren't eating any fruits or veggies, and not enough water. May be too many processed foods. Try eating clean for a week - I bet you see a huge difference. Good Luck!

I eat TONS of raw veggies cut up. Favorites are grape tomatoes - I take at least 2 cups of them to work with me. They are sweet and fun to eat. Also 2nd favorite is cut up cucumber with a little salt & pepper, and lastly is a whole green pepper cut in strips. Its a ton of snacking, or great to add to a veggie burger for…

No food is off the "diet" menu. This is a lifestyle change. I hope you have great success losing weight for YOU! Congratulations on getting started.

Boca Burgers - 100 calories each on a light hamburger bun, a little ketchup, mustard & veggies - very portable for work. Just microwave for a couple of minutes and its done. Yum!

Fyi a Diabetic eating plan is VERY healthy and balanced. Not something to be wary of, but a great way to get good carbs and lean proteins into your diet. Even sweets - its about watching carbs not sugar. Good Luck!
