Rock ON baby! That's AWEsome!!! 20 lbs. in 3 months is really great!!! :flowerforyou: :love: :flowerforyou: Believe our handsome bald guy! YES! He BE Smart!!! :bigsmile: :love:

I doubt I could stick with eating mostly shakes. :laugh: I did a little lookie loo about this and it seems this diet really works.... but you have to be diligent about not going berserk and overeating again once the diet is over. It may be good for people who are seriously overweight and could use a big jumpstart to…

I think it's OK to allow your body to rest when it's telling you something...... by all the symptoms you have, illness or not. You can do some light activity at home ....... stretching, light weights etc. Just watch the calories! No laying around eating bon-bons! :laugh: :flowerforyou: :bigsmile:

BRAVO!!! You GO Girl........ :flowerforyou: :love: On your way to that $600!!! :laugh: :drinker:

You GO Go Girl!!!! :flowerforyou: :love: :flowerforyou: Good for you making the choice to do this! No bread, potatoes, pasta?, candy......... all the FUN stuff! :cry: :grumble: Actually, my most successful times losing weight excludes these things. You actually get past the cravings and start feeling GOOD baby! :laugh:…

Woweee!!! That's AWEsome Girl! :flowerforyou: :love: :flowerforyou: I can't exactly relate...... maybe will do one someday??? :laugh: :bigsmile: :blushing:

Welcome & You GO Girl! :flowerforyou: :love: :flowerforyou: You can do it! ..... hang up the jeans somewhere as a reminder. :drinker:

Welcome! :flowerforyou: :drinker: Sounds like you got everything going on there Rock Star! Woo :bigsmile: Don't know about the meal editing......... I would like to know too.

I totally understand Girl! I go through phases like that too ........... :grumble: :flowerforyou: At first, I feel great logging everything down .... like I'm taking action to make the changes I want. Charting the progress is very empowering and helps me stay the long course to the end result. But then I either get tired…

First of all, BRAVO to you for cutting out that hydrogenated crap! :flowerforyou: It's soooo bad, but tastes so good! :grumble: Can you do soymilk? I like vanilla, unsweetened. I haven't tried them, but there are soy-based flavored creamers that are probably less nasty than the other kinds. I don't drink coffee everyday…

Yes! Turkey chili pot sounds good & EASY! I will add MORE onions though...... :laugh: :bigsmile: :laugh: Thanks everybody! :flowerforyou:

Yahoo!! Hope you had a great trip & no weight gain is sure a bonus! :flowerforyou: I think it's good for our bodies to mix up the routine once in a while. "Zig Zag" the calories..... as MFP peeps put it! :laugh: :flowerforyou: I went on a 10 day road trip last May and my weight stayed the same! :bigsmile:

Good for you! You GO Girl! :flowerforyou: :love: :flowerforyou: Any movement, fast or slow is Great!!! :drinker:

Down to 160! yahooo..... :love: :drinker: :love: Three weeks supposedly off track by major dental & chiropractic work. Still lost 2 lbs. a week for the last 3 weeks..... wheeeeeeeeeeee! Have been stuck for so long. Something finally shaking loose! How did that happen?? I don't even care!! :laugh: :bigsmile:

Welcome and you can do this! :flowerforyou: :drinker: :flowerforyou: Wish I had your "problem" of living in a tropical paradise! :laugh:

WOO Baby! Glad you liked it! :bigsmile: Your post inspired me to Google 'The Rites'. Found some new versions of the old practice!

You can add honey & fresh lemon juice sqeezed into herbal tea too. :flowerforyou: I like the Traditional Medicine Teas, available in health food stores & supermarkets: http://www.traditionalmedicinals.com/ Also add some squirts of goldenseal, echinacea tinctures if you can: http://herb-pharm.com/ FEEL BETTER Baby!!! Drink…

Welcome!!!!! :flowerforyou: :love: :flowerforyou: Cheers back at ya Girl! :drinker: :bigsmile:

BRAVO & Welcome Back! :flowerforyou: This weight loss & healthy life style is a Journey, many people on MFP call it that. There are many ups & downs & curves & stops & go's........ wheeeeee! :grumble: :noway: Keep on Trucking Baby! You're doing alright!!! :drinker: :bigsmile: :drinker:

Sounds cool! :glasses: Will ck it out later on my home computer. :flowerforyou: I agree that starting the day with a light workout ROCKS! :love: I do a series of yoga poses which really sets me up right for the day: http://www.mkprojects.com/pf_TibetanRites.htm

Good luck Girl! You can do it!!! :flowerforyou: But hey..... do you have a scale @home? I think the best way to weigh yourself is first thing in the a.m. Get up & pee, no food, no water or clothes on! :laugh: :bigsmile:

BRAVO!!! Way to go........... :flowerforyou: I work in an office where people are always bringing in sweets & crap to eat. MOST of it I can resist because it's really CRAP, low quality junk........ It's all about CHOICES and you done mighty GOOD Girl!!! :drinker: :love: :drinker:

Have a cup of hot water or herbal tea instead of food? Whenever I eat refined carbs during the day (bread, pasta, cookies etc.), I wake up hungry & want to eat more of the same! :sad: :grumble: :sad:

YAHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! :flowerforyou: :love: :flowerforyou: CHEERS baby!! AWEsome job!!! :drinker: :heart: :drinker:
