I don't log medicines,supplements, or something i have to take for health reasons. For example cough drops or cranberry juice.... its horrible enough that i need them lol. But i do choose lower calorie options of those. I don't log gum or spices and i don't measure precisely things like lettuce and celery, because its…

Thank you and WOW that thread is a mind blower....

Yes i weigh and measure my food, everything i eat ... i knew i was weighing in so i tried to watch my sodium intake a bit and choose lower sodium items, and its not that time of the month, and yes i was empty when i weighed.. i did find out i lost an inch off of each measurement i take so that gave me a straw to grasp...

Thank you everyone!

a can of beans... 1 and 4/5ths of a cup is in a can of beans... could you please put the 1/5th in the empty part of the can so it can be even when i add to salads???

You can try Pam cooking spray instead of the oil and if you use Barilla plus pasta it adds protein and fiber.

my mom and i both did it a few years ago. we both liked it and you can go around as many times as you want really. it really didn't feel weird with the small about of people and the closeness. you either didn't talk or you made a few friends because you generally go at the same time with the same people. My mom went until…

i need to remember to do this myself but i used to order something lower calorie and when the food gets to the table, ask for a box immediately. when i got the box, i put half of it away for lunch the next day or something. This helps with the amount of food and lowers potential calories.

My family likes to "go to the river" we were staying at a river house with A LOT of family one time(think reunion). Two of my cousins were there and Broke (one male(age 21) one female(age 26)). She was saying that she could get in her little black dress and go get the two of them free drinks at the bar from a man. My…

I'm going to use some of these :)

okay i thought this was implied but i guess not... Nothing will ever be as hard [For Me] to handle as my food addiction......... and i don't think either of us are down playing other addictions .... just that a person can't get away from food.... My dad was a coke addict and moved away to get away from the drug and those…

This is what i try SO hard to explain to my husband!..... he just doesn't get it. We used to smoke cigarettes and he used Nicorette to quit and had a hard time of it. i quit cold turkey. he kept asking me how i did it... He couldn't understand that cigarettes were not my real addiction so it was easy to stop. NOTHING will…

its the minimum amount of water... drink away...

you are awesome! thank you....

Also get him on a sleep schedule... it will take a bit but it helps a lot: no cranky baby, more scheduled time for yourself and when he knows whats coming he will be happier too... And its okay to be one of "those" moms... i will not go somewhere or leave early if its going to be time for my daughters nap and there isn't a…

i have a daughter but i didn't have that particular problem with exercise and her. However, i used to watch my nephew A LOT and i would need to exercise so i used the soft carrier so he was attached to my chest and used the stationary bike.... made some verm verm sounds when i wasn't too out of breath and he LOVED it... he…

use a variety of beans, i use 8-12 different kinds in mine.... the different beans give different textures and tastes with each bite

i gain water weight, like 5-7 pounds, and the day after i start its gone..... i was in a medically supervised weight loss and they would let me come in the day after if i needed to because of how much it jumped in 24 hours.... the upside is your next weight on the scale will be awesome!

I don't understand the attraction to David Beckham... he looks like any guy walking down the street to me.... of course he does have abs for days but many other men have that too.....

NOTHING "diet" tastes as good as the real thing...:(

i read this and i thought 'huh... really? there the same calories... I'm having me some pancakes" .... definitely why I'm here...

i love onions... 1. (easiest) go to your grocers freezer and find the chopped frozen onions... works great but stinks up the freezer even through 2 plastic bags.... 2. when you buy it, take the outside of it off and put it in a plastic bag in the fridge. when you are ready to use it chop like normal but stand straight so…

25... spring valley California...... (which is a "city" in San Diego)

either don't.... or maybe in the sauna... i go there after every workout and that's pretty much the only time i would appreciate being talked to.... or maybe after the gym if it doesn't seem like she is RUNNING to leave....but that heads into stalker territory and could make her uncomfortable.

the toilet thing for me, isn't abut how hard it is.. its how it looks, especially when you have company. Then you add dogs to situation... where do house dogs like to drink??? in my house the seat AND the lid go down .... that keeps it looking presentable, the dogs can't get a drink AND we both have to lift and lower…

have had a similar issue in the past... now i go to the gym in the morning before i eat anything and drink water only when i need it and only sips not gulps... than in my car is waiting a body choice quick start wild berry smoothie... its 180 calories with 20 grams of protein... this stopped me from being sick because i…

Yee Haw!

when i was in a drinking stage of my life .... i would either 1. shots with diet soda... like rum with diet Pepsi (or hey shots and water) or 2. (when i didn't eat alllll day for it)......for each drink id blend a cup of fruit, shot of something and either diet sprite, the walmart flavored waters, crystal lite ... so it…

My husband came home from the military January 2009 and my good eating habits when down the drain. he would look at my food and say it was nasty or he didn't eat those foods. we were too poor to feed both our diets so i let him win, for almost three years. i have been a 300 lb woman since i had our daughter because he…
