Thanks for the info :) Glad to know something I like so much is good for me! I even got the original unsweetened kind. I think I'll keep right on drinking

Usually anything that comes through a drive thru window, especially Taco Bell...youch my body yells at me for that.

Really depends on your goals and resolutions. In most cases, if it is within your numbers, it's fine (as long as it isn't junk repeatedly). But there are some exceptions. I resolved to give up pop so, while having a diet soda would be perfectly acceptable within my numbers, having one would be cheating for me.

It does seem a tad short to me...but then I'm old fashioned and times are changing. If you can run it past the bride that would probably be your best bet.

You can do this.

Believe me, nothing is going to stop me from losing the weight, even if I end up with a neck that looks like a vagina (if you get the reference you are in my cool books). I'm not worried about minor imperfections and hell...at 295 pounds I'm already comfortable in a one piece. I'll do what I need to do. Was just wondering…

Well I'm losing on average 3.5 to 4 pounds a week which is about 1% of my starting weight and I imagine it will be slowing as I go to match my weight as I get smaller. I do keep doing the toning exercises and will increase them as they get easier. I eat 100+ g of protein a day, drink at least 12 c. of water a day, and keep…

They do matter, because your body still sees them as sugar and will respond the same way. Unfortunately, you chose like two of the worst fruits for sugars so it would seem bad. Of course, getting your sugar from fruit is much better than from refined sugar. Don't sweat it too too much if you go a little over from fruit (I…

Yep, you are definitely not netting enough calories and your sodium is consistently way too high. Try raising your calories and lowering your sodium and you should see results

Still here, still on board...just haven't had time to log in

Clean eating is trying to eat more whole/unprocessed foods and staying away from chemicals and additives.

I love weighing myself every morning

Have you tried switching out the ice cream for low fat frozen yogurt? Not a wholly perfect healthy food, but slightly healthier than ice cream. Chocolate is fine in moderation, but maybe try some dark chocolate from your local bulk food store. It is a bit healthier than milk chocolate and has a lot of very good things for…

I'm just eating lots of healthy whole foods, bc. Eating every couple of hours to keep my metabolism firing. Getting more active by walking or swimming or just stretching. The "Eat more to weigh less" approach really works. Oh...and cut out all fluids except straight water.

Amen sister!

I don't worry toooo much about sodium if its due to a once in a while treat. Just load up on your water that day and enjoy your lobster!

I'll post pics as soon as I get them...and My doctor has a digital scale lol...no clinks

Man my motivation has been sucking the past few days. I have to start kicking my butt back into gear.

Lol in my second week I went to Disney World for a week with all food paid for for me. I still behaved, not a bite of junk food passed my lips. If I can do it you can!

Can't see your diary so I can't really give advise from that perspective. Maybe try eating smaller meals more often throughout the day and try to stay away from sweet foods that will make you hungry?

Welcome aboard to the new peeps. Joining in late doesn't matter, as long as you join in :)

If you don't want the surgery, don't do it!. You can lose 100 pounds by June next year no problem. Heck, I've lost almost 45 in two months. Gastric bypass is great for some but it is a very tough recovery. If you don't really want it I'm sure you can do it yourself with a little support from your friends.

The Sleeping Beauty series by A.N. Roquelaire (Anne Rice) very smutty

Yay for all of you :). Yesterday I spent half an hour reading "The Mystical Qabalah" and spent an hour playing a card game with my kids. :)

Yep...what they said lol. My recipes section is full

For snacks? Fruit is sweet and has sugar but they are the good kind of sugars so they can help a sweet tooth. My go to snacks are always yogurt, cottage cheese, unsalted nuts (almonds for me), special k cracker chips if you need that munch, or low fat butter flavoured microwave popcorn.

No one here is a medical professional, so if it is bad enough to concern you I would suggest seeing a doctor. Also, I agree that we can't really make suggestions without seeing your diary.

Anyone can add me. I never turn down a friend request and I love keeping people motivated :)

Keep posting everyone! I want to hear all the wonderful things you are doing! :)

Today I totally cleaned out the lower level of my house that was indescribably horrid. The pets hide down there so you can imagine the smells coming from down there. Tossed out ruined furniture and scrubbed everything clean, got a big pile sorted and started for yard sale, tossed a lot of garbage, then bought a baby gate…
