Hey -- I am the same way - but unfortunately for me, the answer was 'no,' I can't stop counting on the weekends and still lose weight. Good luck to you!

I searched everywhere and found them in 2 places at Whole Foods: 1 in the aisles in the asian section (these ones were gross), and 2. in the refridgerated area by the cut up fruit. They were OK -- somewhat palateable -- but I wouldn't recommend....

Here's an AWESOME drink I love -- Green Tea, Hot steamed Milk (or fatfree cream is even better), splenda and a drop of vanilla extract. ITs called a LONDON FOG. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

WOW -- my husband and I are sitting here marveling at you! Can I ask, MacMadame? -- did you have to get skin removed?

ACK -- thanks for fixing my photo above but my 'after' is screwy! LOL I will find a new one! Pink

IT WON"T WORK....I've tried 2 billion times.

Okay everyone --since I asked you all to do this, I better put my own up! Here I am so far....:blushing: http://photos.myfitnesspal.com/images/photos/245/817/245817_5607_thumb.jpg?1907 BEFORE http://photos.myfitnesspal.com/images/photos/245/817/245817_3531_thumb.jpg?1907 CURRENT --80lbs down, 70 to go!

Thanks Pals, I was able to fix it but removing my initial posts and then reposting. But by then I had consumed 113 calories over without realizing! boooo! --Pink

You guys are HOTTTTTT! Thank you so much for the inspiration! I'm keepin' at it!! --Pink

Yay, keep 'em comin'!

Hi MFP Gang, I made THE MOST delicious thing last night -- if you like sushi this is a real hit! FOR THREE -- Multiply or divide if required. Ingredients -- 5 sheets of Nori seaweed, 1 cup (uncooked) of instant brown rice, three eggs, 1 tsp of sesame oil, canola cooking spray, 2 tbs sesame seeds, squirt of hot sauce.…

Thanks Ladies! WOW -- I can't believe how much weight you've both lost. What an inspiration!

Hi Gang -- I make HUGE quantities of one-pot meals like, chili, quinoa casserole, chickpea salad, pasta and meat sauce, etc... and I put them in 1 serving measured out foil containers (from dollar store) and freeze them. It is like having your own frozen dinners without the 1. additives, 2. high cost of frozen entrees. I…

These are GREAT suggestions! Keep 'em comin'!!!

How do you have things broken down? You can go a little over in protein, but too much is still too much. What is your total daily calorie allottment? For 1500 calorie diet on a healthy person it should be: 40% Carbohydrates (150g) 30% Proteins (113g) 30% Fats (50g) Sugars -- max of 60g per day (try to keep at least 40g…

YOU GO, GIRL!

I too hate flying -- but -- I still do it. Its kind of one of those "suck it up, Buttercup" things -- I just ask myself -- "What? Are you going to let fear stop you from seeing the world and living life? That's worse than letting fat stop me!?" Good luck! Pink

No more than 2500mgs Good luck! It is tough! Although -- it makes a HUGE difference on appetite!

Hi There, The medication doesn't usually take effect for about an hour after you take it. How much it will drop is dependent on WHICH medication it is. www.mayoclinic.com is a very good site for credible information. If your blood pressure has lowered because of the weight loss, you will need to talk to your doctor about…

I have a lot of loose skin after 27 lost and lots more to go. Its just my luck I guess. I haven't had kids yet, so my plan is to lose weight, have kids, then get a tummy tuck and boob job! In Canada it is covered by health insurance if it effects your health, which I does -- so I'm good to go!

My tip is decide not to. You control whether you fall off the wagon or not. Decide not to. The power is yours. Also -- some goal/rewards I've used in the past are: 1 week of staying within calories = new make-up 1 month of staying within calories = mani-pedi The biggest rewards will be how you feel and the long healthy…

UGGH -- When I went off birth control my first two TOMs were TERRIBLE -- so I feel your pain sista! I am committed to working out every day too, so I also understand why you want to force yourself to do it. I would use this opportunity to listen to your body and be nice to yourself. If you PHYSICALLY feel crappy, you…

Yeah -- I'm doing the whole 'healthy carb thing' -- I only really like whole grain so that's not to hard. Where I run into problems is with fruit and yogurt and frozen yogurt and stuff like that. I can 'manage' the rest.... Sigh. Do you think if you go like.....maybe 30g or so over in carbs, if 80% of them are whole grain,…

I'm so sorry to hear this! I live in Canada and don't know the USA medical system, but would there be a free clinic you could go to? Praying for you, Pink

I do what Alanna does! They're all different!

I hear WARMING prune juice makes it work better -- that how they give it to seniors at old folks' homes.

Hi Joyous -- thanks for the feedback! I do tend to limit simple carbs -- only eating brown rice, wholegrain pasta and wholegrain breads. My weakenss as I'm sure you can see -- is ICE CREAM -- I eat 1 or 2 100 calorie cups a day. That is where I will make my 1st change if my losing slows down. Currently I am losing at a…

Read my response -- I told you to look at mine!

Hey Joyous, I am same height as you and I have a hard time too with the calories. My reason is this -- I am supposed to eat 1759 per day ( weigh a lot) -- and I CAN"T get that high without going waaaaay over in carbs or fat. That's not including exercise (which I do 7 days per week) that usually puts me over 2000! I am…

I wondered the same thing. http://www.topdiets.com/pacediet.html ---Pink:drinker:
