You should fill out one of those comment/feedback cards and turn it in to his managers and let them know how much his encouragement means to you. Some companies give bonus or rewards to their employees who receive positive cards. If nothing else you should let him know how much his support was appreciated and having it in…

Awesome!

Whenever I have soup I know my sodium intake is going to be over for the day, no matter what else I eat for the day. Consequently when I weigh myself the next day my weight will be 2-3 lbs heavier than it was the day before. By tracking sodium it lets me relax and know that it is not a "real" gain. I follow it up with lots…

You could donate the flowers to your local hospital or nursing home if you don't want to take them home.

So proud of you!

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer and not to disagree with the other posters great suggestions which I really do encourage you to try. But I would suggest that you implement their suggestions and then watch for several weeks. If you find that you are not as successful with losing weight as you want to be come back to this topic.…

I used JC about 8-9 years ago and it worked really well. At that time you lost half your goal weight eating their packaged food (except for fruits, veggies, & dairy) and then slowly transitioned to lose the last half of your weight using real food. The food was a little expensive, but since you no longer bought fast food…

Try adding the Fiber counter to your Food diary. You are eating a fair amount of processed food and the more fiber you eat the more satisfied you will feel. The choices you made (the Wurthers hard candy) for 132 calories you could have had 1/2 an apple and a cup of skim milk for the same calories. That would have given you…

I am 5'8" and I started at 187lbs and 35% body fat. My goal weight is 145 lbs and 20% body fat. It has taken me six months and I am about half way to goal. I tend to lose weight really slowly. I have two small children and I do fairly well loging my food and watching what I eat but I suck at exercising. My plan is to join…

I stopped drinking soda and all artifical sweetners 4 months ago and now water tastes sweet to me. Very strange!

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate all the opinions and thoughts. I will get him the X-Box for his birthday. Our 7 year wedding anniversary is in October so maybe I will keep this in mind for then. I will definately be at goal by then and we are solid as a couple so I don't worry about the pictures ever being misplaced.…

Mines public, feel free to add me.

I do. It makes me happy, keeps me balanced so I don't overindudge later.

Hi and welcome! Feel free to friend me. I have two little kids as well. I am about half way to losing my 40 lb goal so we can do this together. :)

And in answer to your question "hundred" was an exaggeration. :) There are 24 countries in North America (Canada, United States of America, & Mexico are the big ones in North America, but when you add in Central America the countries get smaller in size and there are alot more of them.) There are 12 countries in South…

Please be more specific as to where you are traveling. The continents of North America and South America are quite large, encompase hundreds of countries and all have different ruling bodies of government controlling food safety. Some do a great job, others not so much.

Good things take work, effort and energy. I think your worth it...don't you?

I keep it to myself, but I tend to be a private person anyway. I didn't tell my husband. He noticed I was losing weight after the first 8 lbs and said I looked good but then forgot about it. (It took me 3 months to do that much.) Then after I lost another 8 lbs, he finally stopped and noticed again (16 lbs total and 3 more…

Thats part of the reason I so nervous, I am not really hunrgy at 1200. I tend to eat a fair amount at 1200. (Yesterday was an off day due to some issues helping with my family.) In general if you look at my food diary you see that I eat every day. I feel like a I eat alot. I don't eat a lot of junk, but I do get a good mix…

I am also very curious about this and wonder if anyone has the answer. The other thing you might consider if you dont get an adequate response is just sending Dan, the author of "in place of a road map" a message and see if he will help you. He does makes the statement in his link that he is willing to help and has never…

Don't be scared. The waters fine! Jump on in, you will do great :laugh:

Wear a specific dress I have been holding on to since I was 18 and go dancing with my husband. :)

Sadly, playing dead would be my best option. :(

There have been many nights where half a grilled cheese sandwich on toasted whole wheat bread and a cup of hot yummy tomato soup has been the balm on my soul.

To get helpful feedback you are going to need to open your food diary so others can see what you have been eating. Part of what others will tell you as well, is to give it more time. A week is really not long enough to start seeing much weight loss yet.

Sounds like its time for a second opinion time from another DOCTOR!

Can't sleep with the closet door open! Not even a little bit...
