THUS if you are so DISTURBED...IRRITATED.... ANNOYED by what others do or don't do on THIER profile why don't you just DELETE them. Here's…

The art of debate has basically been lost in our society. Two or more people should be able to discuss differences of opinion in an articulate manner without resorting to ridicule and name calling. This used to be a sign of maturity and manners. Of course part of the problem is no matter how advanced we are as a society…

I love pita pockets because unlike a sandwich you can stuff almost anything in them. Leftover beans and rice...salad and tuna...fish and cabbage...steak and peppers. The options are pretty broad. A thermos is a great option as well....fill it with homemade soups loaded with veggies, chicken and beans or pasta. Yummy!!

Sweetie don't ever let a man make you think you aren't good enough. Exterior beauty will fade especially as we age but inner beauty is something you will always have!! If a man can't take you as you are he isnt good enough for you. You will find someone who looks at you and all he sees is the perfect woman for him....just…

My personal observation regarding myself and most of the people im around frequently is we do have time. We just choose to make other things a priority. So as far as im concerned OP you have hit the nail on the head. Theres not one single person i know who doesnt waste a few hours a week on things which could be replaced…

I spend $175 a week to feed three adults, a 15yr old, a 3 yr old and and a toddler. Thats a good week...lol! Healthy foods tend to be more expensive but i bargain shop and know which stores have the best prices for certain items. If my kids want treats i bake them because prepackaged goodies are expensive. Stop buying the…

When my husband and i ran our own business we had the same problem and i have the extra pounds to prove it!! The best way to avoid this is to prepare food in advance. Those nights might need to be what we call quick fix night. Theres plenty of options like pitas stuffed with sliced chicken and veggies, wraps with low…

It depends on who else is hanging out at your local mall! Thirty years ago when i was 13 it was mostly junior high school kids. But now adays our mall is literally packed with teens ages 13-19...some even older. I dont know if its the change in driver liscense requirements or the high unemployment rate but most dont have…

If your here for a lifestyle change not just weightloss then exercise will make you feel so good. I think variety is best just like its good for you to have a well rounded diet. Theres so many benefits to both cardio and weight training. You increase your metabolism, strenghthen your heart, help prevent bone loss and…

My advice isnt much different from what others have already said. Get rid of the empty calories...i define that as anything you drink or snack on which has little if any nutritional value. If you have a sweet tooth having something once or twice a week isnt bad but daily consumption will kill any weight loss attempts. Add…

I'm a work in progress and one day soon i will step out of my cocoon a brand new me!! Actually the butterfly means many things to me, beauty, freedom and dreams yet to be realized... :wink:

As others have said...if your diarys private no one can look to suggest changes for you to make. So heres a few ideas. First off make sure you are eating at least what MFP reccomends in calories. Make those calories come from a quality filling variety of healthy foods. Junk food will not keep you satisfied and it plays…

You are a beautiful person both inside and out!!! I'm so glad you have made this succesful journey...i see big things in your future!! Thank you for expressing what you went through so well and inspiring the rest of us to keep moving forward!!:flowerforyou:

I gave up soda/sweet tea awhile ago...mostly because its loaded with sugar and has no real nutritional value. I'd much rather put those calories elsewhere. I also have vastly reduced my fast food intake. I'm not talking about going to a nice restaurant and having a small steak or chicken but the junk fast food. It's full…

Like everyone else said try changing up your routine and food. Look up some new recipes to try and definetely get that sodium down. Too much sodium can make you retain fluid especially in the hot weather. Start keeping a detailed diary of what you're eating...you might be suprised by some of the calories you're wasting.…

Our hormones, sedentary lifestyle and slower metabolism all effect our ability to lose/not gain weight as we age. Undiagnosed health issues can work against us as well so i've heard that if your over 40 you should probably get a workup done with your docter to insure that you dont have any underlying conditions. With that…

It's all about balance and moderation. Some people think they are eating healthy but in fact they are restricting too much or completely eliminating certain foods. Some of the most fit and succesful people i've seen on here do NOT follow the "eliminate this______ and you will lose weight" trends. We need fats, carbs,…

Lot's of support here...feel free to add!!! ;-)

I've never heard anyone say that a short person must eat less then 1200 to lose weight. Like others on here have already mentioned it is a combination of factors. Regardless of your height and body composition you will gain weight if the calories you take in are more then the calories you burn. Reverse that and you should…
