I prefer Dannon Light and Fit - good protein and only 80 calories. Very yummy too! :o)

Bump. And yes truvia or stevia are allowed.

Exactly. That's great. You have nothing to worry about.

DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT weigh yourself in the am and then again in the afternoon. You are setting yourself up for upset and failure. I weigh myself daily, but if I were to weigh myself in the afternoon, I will ALWAYS be up from the am. You will not get accurate readings if you weigh yourself at inaccurate times of the day.…

So, what's the recipe for this Asian style peanut sauce? I've been dying to find something to put on chicken, similar to what they would have on a Chinese Buffet. I'm so bad...

I love PB2, and I'm a Jif addict. Check, since I'm not sure where near you is; but I hear that Wal-Marts are starting to carry it. Meijer stores are not yet in Michigan though. :o(

You're an inspiration to me that you could lose SO much weight and still drink vodka with diet soda on the weekends! I LOVE my vodka, but I always find myself up between 2-3 #'s after a weekend jag with the girls!!! Then it takes me most of the week to fight that water retention weight back off to get back on the losing…

Oops sorry, I've heard both of these before. From the same man, concurrently. Sadly. Oh. He had to go!

And I don't take that as a personal challenge to make it real the next time(s)!!!

NO freaking NO! I've tried Adipex and know that you can struggle to eat 800+ calories. But you have to. You have to eat 1200-1400, depending on your beginning size. Never less than 1200. You might lose, but you will gain it back in the long run. Don't do it. SMH.

matta!! that's some funny stuff right there! yeah, if only all of us women knew our place! gosh! :o)

Ha! I got this! I'm dating myself, and prolly no one will know this, but when I was a freshman in high school I'd hear this darn song in the am getting ready for school and I'd be an s.o.b. if it wouldn't frigging stick with me all day! Hel! just thinking of it now it might! But luckily I don't know it all, just enough to…

I agree. Drink a poo ton of water and flush out. I bet you're retaining from sodium. I have this happen at least once a week. I fluctuate 2-4 # regularly, then I'm back down and then some. Please add me if you need more encouragement. I'm a great cheerleader. Good luck hon, I think you already have this bull by the horns!…

Listen to the Staci believers... http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/07/21/meet-staci-your-new-powerlifting-super-hero/ http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/833500-what-do-i-do-common-sense-cliff-notes (This is genius!) Ignore the rest of the flying monkeys on here that just want to pounce and not help... Also, if you…

Me too, me too! I'm frequently guessed @ 50# lighter than I am. 5'8"... Currently 223.8# but still get guessed under 170#. I am big boned, like Garfield. ;0) I've always carried my weight well.

Wonderful work! You are one of the few here that seem to have it figured out. Congrats!

I thought the point of this site was to not want chocolate? I'm not into chicks, but suddenly I want a flibbin' Easter Bunny!

it's powdered, but you mix it equally with water. it's actually quite good. jif it is not. but it reminds me of natural peanut butter and you can choose your own consistency. it's quite tasty and if you leave it dry you can mix it into your protein drinks. very good! enjoy!

I really enjoyed what you said at the end of your post the most. Thank you for sharing your story. Good luck on the rest of your living! Enjoy!

pb2 - very good!

Coffee and caffeinated drinks dehydrate you. You may need to drink an ounce and a half to recover every ounce of caffeinated beverages you drink to rehydrate. You should be drinking 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water every day. 200 lbs, 100 ounces of water = 12.5 8 ounce cups. I personally drink 13-16 sometimes a bit…

Between Grand Rapids, MI and Kalamazoo, MI here. Not that close. But closer than some. Welcome and good luck! Add me, if you wish! :o)

Consider yourself creeped on. LOL. ;o)

I don't buy it... But, for those of you that do: ARMAGEDDON, ARMAGEDDON!!! :noway: :laugh:

Corn Dogs! Yum.... Oh and Deep Fried Oreos! OMG! No wonder I'm on this site. Thank goodness fair only comes once a year! ;o)

Those who do not continue to learn and improve each day, do not truly live. You are not crazy. You are living! Enjoy. The pitfalls will be short-lived and the benefits will give to you for the rest of your life! You are amazing. Congratulations!

As my step mother told me when I had this issue a few weeks ago: 'Eat like a bird, poop like a bird'. LOL. But seriously, she gave me a serving of dried prunes, quite tasty and effective within a few hours. Good luck.
