I eat a similar cereal called Qi'a. It's by Nature's Path. It comes in a few different flavors. I like the Cranberry Vanilla and Apple Cinnamon. You can purchase it at most health food stores in the U.S for a fraction of the cost of the cereal you mentioned. I add it to my oatmeal and it keeps me full for hours. Here are…

I read on your profile that you aim to eat 800 calories a day. That is way to low. Your body will think it's starving and that makes it harder for you to lose weight. I know I sound "preachy" and i don't mean it that way. I just don't wan't to see you make all the same mistakes I made. A professional can help you set a…

I was bulimic in High school and college. Please, Please get some professional help. I didn't seek help and now 20 years later, my metabolism is shot and I gain weight very easily. I still don't eat in a healthy manner. You need to seek a professional counselor who specializes in eating disorders. If left untreated you can…

I just had a big setback. I haven't been logging my food for weeks now. I am really craving sugar lately. I gained back the 5 lbs I had lost and I'm feeling pretty hopelss. I just can't seem to stay away from sugar. I think about food all the time too. I don't know why I can make a commitment and stick to it in any area of…

I'm 5'2 1/2 and about 145. My goal weight is 125. If I weigh less than that people start asking me if I'm sick. When I was your age I weighed around 115, but I'm not small boned so I think it just depends on your body. I'm not as focused today on how much I weigh, I just want to be healthy and fit.

This is very good advice. I use to always need to be around other people. Now I actually enjoy being by myself as well as being around other people. Go out with friends too. It really does help. Also maybe start writing in a journal how you are feeling. In a few months go back and read what you wrote. Chances are you will…

I tore the tendon in my quad muscle 18 months ago. I had 4 months of p.t and took 10 months off from running. I continued to do other exercises though. I started running again 6 months ago and have now reinjured it due to a two week hiking and running vacation to Alaska. The doctor says I have tendonosis and chrondomalacia…

Thanks I'm going to try this. I use Walden Farms blueberry syrup. It doesn't have any sugar and is suppose to be calorie free.

Count me in too. I'm 145 and want to be 125 by Christmas!

You can really see the difference in your pictures. Congrats on your achievement! Make sure you post pictures of your next mini goal. You will help inspire the rest of us.

The first time I gave up sugar, flour and processed food, I did it "cold turkey." It took me two months to completely detox. I was a very angry lunatic during that two month period. My two teenage sons told me I shoud just start eating again because I was so mean. I persevered and eventually the cravings stopped. I was…

Today I did 25 minutes on the Elliptical. I had it on a low level, but it's progress. The physical therapist is using electrical shock treatments to get cortisone deep into the tissue. it doesn't hurt and it seems to be helping. I use to run 20 miles a week,plus I did weight training 2-3x a week and often an hour of…

I started about three weeks ago. I log my food everyday. I'm not perfect,but I'm making progress. I could use some friends too. Feel free to add me.

You look beautiful. You also look very happy! Congrats on your success!!

I'm so glad you shared this with us. I had two really good weeks of healthy eating and then just like you I have binged the last two days. I'm struggling to keep going, but I'm going to give it my best. Tomorrow is another day and I will keep trying. Don't let the two days get you down. You can do it!

I had two weeks of really healthy eating. Then yesterday and today I just binged on anything and everything. I went over my calories on both days! The worst part of it is I can't really exercise to burn off the extra calories. The physical therapist still doesn't want me to run or do any type of exercise except walking and…

I'm very happy for you. You look beautiful. Congrats on your success!!:happy:

Congratulations! You look very fit and healthy. I love seeing before and after pictures. It really motivates me to keep going. Thanks for sharing.

I chop up an apple and sprinkle it with cinnamon. I put it in the oven while I continue to get ready for work. Then I quickly cook oatmeal in a glass storage container. When it's done I add the baked apple, a little more cinnamon and a few walnut pieces. It's really hot, so I let it cool while I'm driving to work. Thirty…

I used your recipe and made these tonight. They were so good. They really do taste like french fries. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I will definately make these again!! :flowerforyou:

Years ago I lost 70 lbs by dieting alone. I didn't exercise at all. When I got to my goal weight ( it took me 9 months) I started working out a lot. I ran 20 miles a week and was lifting weights 3x a week. The problem is I started eating junk food again. I didn't gain the weight back right away, but after tearing the…

Great idea! I'm going to make these tonight!:flowerforyou:

Hi Tamlynne, I remember talking to a friend who was struggling with something in her life. (not food related). I told her I would pray for her and that I believed God would take away the problem. She looked at me and said, " how come you believe God will take away everyone elses problems, but you don't believe he will help…

Pizza! We ordered several differnet kinds of pizza tonight for my son and his friends. I made my healthy dinner and ate it in another room. Unfortunely we have two whole pizzas leftover!

I'm 47. Just joined a few weeks ago. I'm excited to be eating healthy again. I'm struggling with finding exercises I can do after I tore the tendon in my quad muscle. Normally I run, so that's out. I would love to be your friend. That goes for anyone, expecially if you have had to adapt your exercise routine due to an…

I'm not sure what part of FL you are visiting, but I live in the Tampa Bay/Clearwater area. We have a Whole Foods store in Tampa. My favorite health food store is Palm Harbor Natural Foods in Palm Harbor, FL. (Clearwater area). You can buy pre-made healthy meals there. They also have a salad bar, which is rare in FL…

Do not be discouraged. I had to hit rock bottom before I decided to do something about my weight. I called it my "gift of desperation." It kept me motivated to lose 70 lbs. I have recently gained back 25 lbs due to a knee injury and not being able to exercise, but I am using this time and situation to really focus on…

Wow, I can actually answer yes to all of your questions. I'm an Elementary Reading Teacher. I know what you mean about all the goodies that people bring into work. It's hard. Whenever I see all the snacks I tell myself that those foods are poison to my body and try and get away from them as soon as possible. I have two…
