  • I've just started here, and I need to drop somewhere between 50-60 lbs for health and to feel better about myself. It may sound stupid, but remember the story of the Little Engine that Could? I think I can. I think I can. Etc. If we all cheer each other on, celebrate each others' triumphs, we can all get to where we want…

  • Every two or three days, first thing in the morning right after I get off the throne. I'm trying to avoid becoming obsessed with weight and focus more on how I feel and how my clothes fit. Should probably get out the tape-measure instead of the scale.

  • Depends on the salad. If it's mostly veggies and greens, no. If it's a "chef salad" with cheese and chicken, probably it will do. A caesar salad is certainly filling, but probably not nearly as good for me. The above is purely my opinion, and YMMV.

  • Wow - I step away from my desk for ten minutes and come back to find all kinds of useful ideas. I'll give some of them a try.

  • I think "I don't NEED this. I only WANT it." So the can sits unopened and I look at it and grin. ETA: Nothing wrong with diet sodas per se, but the sodium plays havoc with my blood pressure.

  • I have a can (unopened) of diet soda on my desk at work. Whenever I get the urge to buy one, I look at it and think "Naaaah".

  • I used to drink 2 or 3 non-diet sodas a day - and I put on a lot of weight. When I switched to diet soda, I was able to shed SOME of it (but not all). I don't think sodapop of any kind is good for us, but I don't think diet is nearly as bad as the OP makes it sound.
