  • Oooh! Blocking PJ's on my web-browser is pretty brilliant! I just did that on my computer! Thanks!!!
  • Pinecone, try swapping out some of the higher calorie foods for lower calorie foods. For example, instead of 2 brazil nuts (24 calories), eat 5 carrots (25 calories). Keep swapping out. I ran into this problem when I first started counting calories - I would find myself eating 1000 calories by lunch (on a 1200 calorie…
  • Also, don't measure yourself after you exercise - your muscles become engorged with blood, so everything will be thicker for a few hours after working out. :) And I always find myself weighing a bit more when I'm exercising - on my days "off", I will see the pounds drop. I'm not sure why, but I like to think of it as my…
  • How many calories are you allowed Danshkee? I'm allowed 1200 a day so my meals are usually: Breakfast - 2 peices of whole grain, dry toast with 1 tsp of honey, and tea (200 calories) Lunch - soup from for the office cafeteria (between 300 - 500 calories) Dinner - baked chicken thigh (I know breast is better, but I really…
  • UGH! For me it's when I go out to eat. If I'm at home, I seem to have the will power to stay on plan...but if I go out for dinner (even to a friend's house), I just can't stop eating. A few weeks ago, I went to a Korean BBQ joint with some friends...and I somehow ended up eating 4.5lbs of beef...and then there were sides,…
  • Morning all! Post new year's blow out weight is 149 (UGH!)...so getting on the ball and getting this weight off! I have a photo-shoot in a month, and I need to fit into the clothes!!! GAH!
  • UGH! My ex-best friend was just like that (there's a reason why she's my ex-bestie)! If anything is going right in my life, she felt the need to compare it to hers and how she's all alone or sad or whatever. Like, if I am dating someone and she's not, she'll complain about being the "third wheel" even when it's just us…
  • Oh wow!!!!! That is PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm completely blown...and just put away the FunSize Snickers bar I was about eat, into the trash!
  • I love this! Is it too late to join? My starting weight is 148.5... :)
  • I'm with you...when I first lost 30lbs, I was on the scale all the time. I stepped on the scale before I ate, after I ate, every time I took a sip of water, you name it. It was pretty awful because it made me pretty crazy (I would start freaking out because I "gained" 1/2lb after eating lunch), and my husband would cringe…
  • Congrats on taking the hardest step...the decision to do something about it!!! :) Best of luck!!! You definitely can do it!!!
  • Thank you thank you!
  • OOOH! If you have the will power to throw away those cookies - can you come over to my house and do the same?! I'm in the same boat as you...I just can't bear to throw them away but I just don't have the will power to keep saying "no"! I'm headed to an informal New Year's party on Friday night, I think I'm going to bring…
