FIAT 500 I have one, my husband has one and both my girls have one. Three of them were bought just two days apart. The fourth one came a few months later...lol We love them!

LOL...I actually am doing way better than I use to! I notice the more fresh fruit and vegetables I eat, the easier it is and also walking helps. I walk a lot because I am on my feet for 8 hours at work and sure enough, that is where it usually hits me. Drink lots of water, walk as much as possible and eat healthy. This…

I work evening shift, 6pm-2:30am and for years I have not been able to lose weight by counting calories. I actually gained 15 on Weight Watchers in one month! I decided to forget about calories and do low carb. My first month I lost 24 pounds and now I am losing about a pound a week. I sleep better and have more energy…

I freaked out that I lost 24 pounds in the first month of eating low carb, but I now lose about 1 pound a week and I feel great about it!

I just went by the store on my way home from work to buy apples. They are all from Chili!

I gained 15 pounds and often went hungry counting calories. As of June 4th I started counting carbs and last month last 24 pounds. I have lost 4 dress sizes and feel well enough to exercise now. I no longer get chest pains just trying to walk fast or swim a few laps. Try low carbs and see what it can do for you. MFP will…

I work 6pm-2:30am and I log my days food all on the same date. My breakfast is usually around 11am, lunch 4pm and dinner around 8pm. I don't eat after 8:30, even though I still work hard for another 6 hours. I do drink a lot of water though, sometimes sugar free flavor packet added and that keeps me satisfied, plus I too…

I was the same way, exercising, eating smaller portions, counting calories and either went no where or gained. I decided to forget about calories and count carbs instead. I lost 24 pounds last month and dropped from a size 18 to a 14. I weighed 204 when I started counting carbs on June 4th and now I weigh 179. I am wanting…

I joined MFP in June and I lost 24 pounds last month. I am eating low carbohydrates and it is working great for me! I love apples, really fresh fruit in general, but I eat at least an apple a day and usually when I might want something sweet. Apples satisfy my sweet tooth and keep me satisfied between meals. I tried…

Born and raised in Fresno, California.

:smile: Looks like we have the same issues. I am now fitting into size 14 dresses and pants, but due to my hips I am stuck wearing my 16/18's or looking like a triangle, big time! My waist went from a 38 down to 34 this month and my hips are a whopping 44" which make me too curvy...lol I should be a waitress with these…

I made up my mind to start losing weight on June 4th. I decided to do low carb and I began walking and doing some light weights 5 nights a week. I just joined MFP a few weeks ago and have lost 25 pounds. I went from 204 to 179. I am never hungry and I never eat back my workout calories. I have even cut back on heart…

I want this framed and in my kitchen!...LOL

I have been starving this week, which for me is usually a sign of, "Aunt Flo is coming for a visit". I know if I eat more protein, I feel better. Also for sweet cravings, I am satisfied with mixing up a packet of Peach/Mango or Grape flavored Energy Drink Mix. I get mine at Walmart, Great Value brand. Don't forget also,…

Prettygirl, If watching carbs, (Low Carb Diet) works for you and makes you feel healthier and more energetic, then do it. I know that it is what works for me. I have tried watching calories so many times and have put weight on each time. I walk 30 minutes a day and I do mild weight lifting, (playing with the weights). This…

Good for you Danny, amazing and inspiring! I have lost 24 lbs since June 4th and I feel so much better! :o)

I started counting carbs on June 4th and I weighed 204 pounds. Today I weigh 186 and I feel so good! I am never hungry and rarely crave anything. I make ice coffee with sweetener if I want something sweet and it works for me. I have started exercising 5 nights a week, just walking and some weight lifting. I never thought I…

I know that when I worked for a fast food restaurant, the smell of the food made my stomach constantly growl. I felt like I was constantly starving and the food was like a drug to me. It was impossible to fight and I put on a whole lot of weight before finding a different job. Don't you notice the minute you smell the…

I was having a "Sweet Tooth" attack every day, mostly in the evenings while at work. I discovered a cup of ice coffee made with instant coffee, 2 sweeteners and 1/2 cup of Silk, Pure Almond Unsweetened Milk over ice was yummy for my sweet craving. I use to eat chocolate and I mean hit the vending machine for Ding Dongs at…
