I drink mine black too :) I love the taste of it now.. I drink so much coffee that I wouldn't even want to think about the extra calories if I added cream and sugar.. Maybe you could try one of those fat free french vanilla creamers

only when I drink too much of it.. do you put anything in your coffee?

Sounds to me that upping to 1700 has definitely kick started your metabolism :)

If I slip up and eat something bad in the evening, I think that it gives me the freedom to eat whatever I want for the rest of the night since I already ate 1 bad thing I might as well enjoy myself and eat what I want before a new day starts and I have to be good again.. this has turned into and extra 500-1000 calories…

I'll do it with you Anne. I am getting so close too and 9 out of 10 times when I have trouble with my eating it is when I've had a few drinks.. I will promise to not have a drink until at least Easter.

Man.. I love tuna.. and now I have to worry about mercury? Is there anything in this world that is safe to eat? :ohwell:

Edward 100%.. I think I got more goosebumps from the Edward in the boko than I did in the movies though!

That is so ironic.. my Nan just sent home a baggy of fresh jubies with my daughter last night... I absent mindedly ate one and then threw them on the top cupboard before I ate the rest! ahaha

Hey! I read what you said about running in the rain in my blog the other day..I am seriously considering it.. although I HATE being cold worse than anything...So maybe tonight as long as it isn't too too bad I'll give it a try :)

Night away with my husband...jaccuzzi suite, out to dinner and a few glasses of wine! And I'll buy a new outfit for the night out :)

I'm a Child and Youth worker.. I work straight midnights and am alone in the house all night with cupboard full of chips, cookies etc... sometimes it is soo hard not to just sit and eat all night long when I'm bored. I don't really care for my job...but it works for now and allows me to be home with my daughter as much as…

What everyone is saying is really true...Planning ahead is best. If there is something that I REALLY want for dinner that night, then I enter it in first and plan the rest of my meals to fit in with it!

She is beautiful.. my parents had 2 female boxers..we just had to put 1 down at 13 years old :( They are a wonderful breed (think that are lap dogs) and they make great running companions!

I'm so glad you asked this question.. I was literally thinking the same thing 5 minutes ago! My fibre amount is also set at 30.. I try to get as much from bran, fruits and veggies, but also just bought some benefibre today...So I was just wondering the same thing...

Is it just me or does it seem like some people aren't eating enough??? Breakfast- 1 poached egg, 100% whole grain toast, black coffee AM Snack- Chocolate Vita-Muffin Lunch- Weight Watchers minestrone soup, 12 whole grain wheat thins, granny smith apple PM Snack- Celery sticks w/ laughing cow cheese dipped in franks buffalo…

I spend anywhere from $150-$200 every other week.. that's for my husband, my 3 year old and myself.

Thanks to the ladies who replied and understand where I am coming from and did not take it out of content... By the way SugarHi.. you did sound rude and if you didn't want to sound rude than you shouldn't have said what you said

I am absolutely not trying to bash my family.. which is why I wrote at the beginning "I love my family more than anything" Just wondering if anyone else out there is the "black sheep" trying to lose weight and be healthy in a family that LOVES to eat. I added that last PS. because I am not looking to hear "maybe you should…

How much diet coke are/where you guys drinking? I am just wondering because I love diet coke...if I have it in the house I could drink up to 3 cans in a day.. but if I don't have it I can go a few days without it.. sometimes I think to myself "I wish I had a diet coke right now" but I definitely don't experience any kind…

Eating 1200 calories allows me to lose 1.1 pounds a week. When I exercise I always eat my exercise calories. I eat clean 90% of the time, but once in a while I enjoy a 100 cal ice-cream bar etc.. Once I hit my goal weight I will adjust my calorie intake to be able to maintain that weight. I am not on a "diet" now and never…

MMMM I love enchiladas! Don't you love it when you cook something that is so good it feels like a treat, but it is still low in calories! That's how I feel when I have pita pizzas!

I am a complete Diet Coke addict. I don't drink any other kind of pop. And I have to have my diet coke in a can, not a bottle. I can't give it up and I am not even close to being ready to attempt it. :ohwell: :laugh:

I plan all of my meals out at the beginning of the day. So when there is bad food around I can think about what foods I have to look forward to eating that day! It makes it easier for me to have it all planned out like that.

I've gone down a cup size.. I used to weigh 170..now I'm 142

Wii Active- My goal for March is to do the 30 day challenge without skipping any days :)

I'm sorry to hear that.. I have never experienced that kind of lack of support myself. But I have heard stories of others who have had that issue. I think that sometimes it has to do with the spouse feeling left out that you may be bettering your life and they might feel left behind. With the accusation of cheating, I have…

1000 calories a day is way too little. But to answer your question on how to lose weight.. you need a 500 calorie a day deficit in order to lose 1 lb of fat a week. There are 3500 calories in 1 lb of fat, therefore 500 calories x 7 days = 3500 cals equaling 1 lb. So you would have to figure out about how many calories you…
