How expensive is Trader Joes? I have never been in there but this sounds amazing!

Thank you! I do have some of the 90 calorie fiber one chocolate chip brownies in my desk at work, but my issue is that I eat those, and am still hungry....I think the best thing for me might be to try veggies and I read someone likes to put hummus on their veggies.

What is your take on salted nuts? Do you just not worry about the salt or do you drink lots of water to try and make up for it?

Hmmmm.... cottage cheese... I don't think I ever really gave it a chance...was on a diet once when I was younger that forced me to eat it. Do you eat it cold or warmed up?

What is ezekiel bread and where can I buy it/how much is it?

Do you have a recipe for the kale? I know that is very cheap

I love nuts, but I hate the unsalted ones....wonder if it's ok to just eat salted ones anyway and flush the sodium out with water....

I love apples and pbutter, but geesh apples are expensive right now!

I'm sure that is frustrating! Are you drinking just as much diet soda as you did regular soda? If so, you could be retaining water due to the high amounts of sodium in diet soda. Hope this helps! Feel free to add me :-)

No. I was feeling a cold coming on (that my husband gave me!) and I didn't go to the gym. I took the opportunity to stay home and rest and eat/drink as much as I could. And guess what? I BEAT the cold before it was ever full-blown. AND lost a pound which tells me that my body was actually using all the extra calories that…

I think that is the key: saying enough is enough to yourself when you look in the mirror and absolutely hate what you have let yourself become. He's not there yet.

I agree with you, to a certain extent. No, I never made excuses for myself about not loosing weight. I knew that I just needed to finally commit to it and make lifestyle changes.

Yeah. He doesn't see it this way. He thinks of it as a cure all quick fix. Continue with your success!

I did recommend this site and explained that's how I have had success (so far!), and he did make an account a few weeks ago, but has not used it.

Bump

In my experience playing sports, the injuries usually occur when we are sore and tired and OVERWORK or OVERDO our workouts. I would say to take a day rest, and do some walking or something instead, or just take it easy with the workout (as much as you can) to avoid injury. Your health is most important, and if you're tired…

It doesn't make sense to me to to weigh myself at the end of the day because that number can vary so much just due to the amount of water you have drank. When it comes to weighing yourself, the most important thing is that you do it the same time, every time. I always weigh myself in the morning after I go to the bathroom…

You should make a group for this....

I'M TOTALLY IN! I wanna look great for the holidays! :-)

Christian! I love fifty shades <3

SPA!!!!!!!!

When I was in basic combat training, they use to force us to eat the bananas....now I know why--leg cramps. It really is the only thing that I have found that stops them! I know, I know, I hate eating bananas too, but it's the only thing that really works!

I am in the exact same situation--- Working a bs dead end job, while I was on the Dean's list in college. Now, I'm waiting for my husband to get his marching orders for relocation before I apply to anything serious. I HATE MY LIFE

They make little plastic pieces that you put on your ring if it is too big so it won't fall off....my father-in-law has one for his ring after he lost a bunch of weight....

I do wish all the sized would be the same at every restaurant, but I don't think that the government should make food decisions for you. New York is heading in a very very bad direction as far as our personal liberties are concerned. However, I don't think the clothing sizes should lie....

I really like this idea. I am also the same way--I would tell myself that my diet will start Monday, and Monday comes, and I say, well, I guess it will start next Monday since I am going out with my husband for out date night (or whatever it was at that time).....And I never did start eating right and putting myself first!…

Plan your meals out and shop for them ahead of time so that you have plenty of good food ready and you already know what you will be eating so this type of thing doesn't happen. I have the same problem, and that's what I do to avoid eating "whatever"

AGREE!

I like to listen to rap music....the beat and the bass just makes you wanna dance and move faster!
