Hello from a fellow picky eater! Listen, I love this site and the message boards - I have gotten so much support and ideas along the road of my journey here BUT I hate when people tell us picky eaters it's not possible to lose weight and be healthy without forcing ourselves to eat things we don't like. It is possible and…

Feel free to add me! I'm 38 and have about 100 lbs to lose. I'm on and off the site all day long and try to give as much support as possible. You can do this!!!!

I was 19, he was 20 and we worked together at a department story. He asked out what seemed like every girl except me in the store. Finally, a mutual friend asked why he'd never asked me out and he admitted he didn't think he stood a chance with me (even though I had a huge crush on him). We started dating, got engaged…

22?

It's exactly that kind of "fat shaming" that contributes so negatively to the obesity problem we're facing in this country. There you are, clearly trying to make some healthy changes, and this a**hole feels the need to come up and say that to you? Unacceptable. Don't let that troll keep you out of the gym! You match your…

FR sent! I'm pretty obsessive about logging because it keeps me in line. My diary isn't public though. Hope that's okay! :)

I'm here to tell you it IS possible to be a picky eater and lose weight! I'm a super-picky eater myself and have been successful in the past using WW. I do try new foods but my biggest problem is with fruits. The textures of them get to me so much that I literally gag. I've found that using them to make smoothies works…

LOVE Cream of Wheat! I make mine tons of different ways but my go-to is with a splash of flavored creamer (so many varieties!) and cinnamon sprinkled on top. Also, it's really yummy with a dallop of pumpkin puree, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Tastes just like pumpkin pie!

Bump and coming back later to add some ideas!

I like Cream of Wheat or Cream of Rice. I make it with skim milk then add a small amount of flavored creamer and cinnamon. So delish! Also, so many variations with all of the flavored creamers out there. Plus, it's a hot cereal so it really sticks to your ribs (as my Grandma used to say) and keeps me full all the way up…

Yum!

Thanks Monica - heading over to check out that website now!

Thanks for the input everyone! I appreciate it!

I have the same thing going on! Thanks for all the great info!

We have a Pomeranian whom we rescued almost a year ago. His name is Cooper & he is the sweetest 11-pound ball of fluff you'd ever want to meet! We love him so much!

Thanks for posting this! Can't wait to go read your article. I've been dealing with anxiety/depression for most of my life but it has gotten worse in the past three years. About six months ago, I decided I've had enough and started researching homeopathic remedies which led me to a diet-controlled way of dealing with it.…

I don't know about anyone else but I feel like I eat alot of the same things over and over because I'm so picky. I'm not a fruit eater, only eat certain veggies, and no salads. Hmmm, not so great for a healthy diet, right? :wink: But, I'm trying new things all the time and trying to venture out of my picky palette every so…

You can more accurately track your food by searching for each item individually by brand name. For instance, search for Ragu Spaghetti Sauce, then your noodles, etc. instead of just searching for spaghetti.

I struggle with weekends too. For two reasons actually - first, my sister & I work out together in the middle of the day during the week (we work together) so it's hard to get a workout in on my own. Second, my husband is not making any life changes at this point (although he really needs to) so he is always pushing to go…

The only thing that can hold you back in your journey is, quite simply, you. I came to this sad realization myself this weekend. I was out shopping and found a really cute pair of pants but didn't want to buy them because they "may not fit in a few months". Then I had to give myself a very stern talking-to because there…

I second Leslie Sansone - I love her! I started out doing her dvd's and then about 2 weeks ago started Jillian Michael's 30-Day-Shred, which is HARD being that I'm currently at 265 and definitely have to alter some of the moves but I find that my endurance is slowly building and I'm able to do more and more of the…

Awesome - thanks! :)
