Lemon water works great, and eat bananas (ripe bananas).

You know its love when the happiest memory you have with them was at home in your pjs doing nothing at all :-)

I have to say the Burger King... I don't think I win in either scenario...

Hi! We're about the same age and I have the same concerns as you. Hope we can support each other :-)

Instead of crash dieting, read tips on breaking a plateau. A plateau is what it sounds like to me. Try out some new exercise activities, go pescaterian for a month, try a teatox. Do something different, but DO NOT CRASH DIET. It will not work. Hope you get the results you want :-)

I honestly still struggle with this. I have a few things that have helped though. First off all, I tell myself that I'll eat everything I want AFTER I brew a pot of tea. Surprisingly, after I drink the tea, I calm down and feel safer (weird but the tea is super comforting) and don't want to eat anymore. If I still feel…

I do beauty related things. As I lose the weight, I have noticed I have become more confident and feel prettier. This isn't from the actual weight loss, it's from the sense of empowerment that I feel after having accomplished my goals. When I lose 5 lbs I go and buy a new lipstick, or lotion and treat myself to a mini spa…

Try imagining how you life will look like in a couple years. Will you be vibrant, happy, enjoying life and your family? Will you be happy with yourself? Will you be there for the people you care abut? Or will you be tired, have no energy, always trying to keep up with your kids? Will you still be there at all? These are…

You and me, my friend. I am in a very similar situation. I needed to lose around 60ish pounds. I have lost around 20ish so far. Go ahead and add me! The only reason I haven't been logging in regularly recently is because I have been taking care of my grandparents for the last couple weeks. Usually I am a very regular…

You are already going in the right direction, so just keep up the awesome work! You know you are an inspiration to the people around you and in a couple months you won't even remember that little blip. I send you hugs over the inter-webs and hope you feel like champion again soon!

Organic lip balm made with coconut oil is amazing! I get mine at a farmer's market near my house. Best stuff I have found in years. Try going to a organic market!

First off all, you need to stop thinking of certain food as "bad." When you restrict yourself of a certain kind of food, you will inevitably want to eat it. *Ahh, the lure of the forbidden!* I know everyone has different tips with how to deal with this issue, but my main advice would be to change your attitude toward food.…

Would you recommend getting a gym membership? This is something I could do. Would that be more economical than buying new weights every week?

I do squats, weighted lunges, sumo squats, lateral raises, dead-lifts, curls, and kickbacks. I did 2 sets of eight reps of each in the beginning and steadily increased my reps and number of sets. I know I have to get heavier weights ( which I am doing this weekend), but I wanted to know how often I should be switching up.

Hi, I'm on that limit and it works great for me :-)

Well, I think it depends on the person. For example, I am fine on a 1200 calorie limit, I'm not hungry but I do eat. You have to get used to eating lots of high fiber/volume foods. But then again I have a small frame and don't do crazy amounts of exercise everyday. Obviously not everyone is like me and so if you don't feel…

Thanks for your message. You're right, I can't just make excuses. So thanks for putting things objectively :-)

Me too! Motivation and support are great!
