Loooove Tea. I have peppermint tea before bed and I start my mornings with green tea. Use pure cane sugar with both so it's very low cal and a lot cheaper than coffee. That way I can get the free coffee at work and save money. : x

First of all, congrats on quitting smoking, that is quite an accomplishment. Contrary to popular belief, stopping smoking will not make you gain weight. The reason most people do is to have something in their mouth (smoking causes an oral fixation.) Try munching on carrots whenever you're hungry in between meals. It's what…

MPF's protein is extremely low and a lot of people use carb control to drop weight, it's a good method. The only time too much protein can be bad is if you have weak kidneys, which would be something you go over with your pdoc when you decide to change your diet dramatically. Sometimes it can cause bathroom problems too,…

I was (Still am sometimes) a compulsive emotional eater. I have an anxiety disorder and don't like being out in public and the first thing I turn to is munching on something to take my mind off it. If I could just 'not do it' I would, but I haven't figured that out yet. So what I do at work is keep a huge bag of baby…

Lord...at 360 I have experienced everything. Diabetes, Pancreantitis, HBP, Sleep Apnea... Most of it is gone now but my blood sugar levels are still irregular.

Gotta echo...maybe you should just focus on your own workout. I hold on because I have MS like symptoms and I'll fall if I don't. My hands just have to gently lay on the sides and I don't feel like I'm going to fall over. You never know what someone else is going through, so just do your thing and don't be one of the…

You know what dude? Put it back in your pants. We need to shame people for being fat like we do for people who smoke? Sorry you're missing the bigger picture. Why is smoking legal? Because it generates revenue. Why are there so many restaurants? Because they generate revenue. Why do people do it? Because they have the…

If you're paying an obscene amount of money for these things, then I'm sorry but you're getting ripped off anyway. Good carbs and fiber are available in raw foods, that is the best way to consume them... There's no magic bar or magic shake or magic pill that's going to do anything better then natural foods. <3 And the FDA…

Freakin coffee creamer. I know that's not what you meant but really. 1tbs is a lot of calories. I try to go over on protein, but I really only worry about carbs. I combat those with sweet potatoes. :p Unsaturated fats send me over and into next week- especially because I like Peanut butter. : x

I think the base program for weight watchers is good, 50 calories equals one point. I think they've gotten too public. Now they want to include unlimited options, and weather a person thinks that common sense would apply, it doesn't. Dieting companies want to make it sound too good to be true. That was just like the Atkins…

They are supposed to simulate barefoot running with a lower chance of injuring your feet. There is literally now support in them though, just a layer of rubber to keep from getting cuts on your feet. I can't use them because my doctor said my nuropothy could leave me injured and unaware. :<

I hate 'Looks like your surgery went well.' Now I have nothing against the bypass surgeries...my mother had one. My mother also went through some intense pain for the surgery, and then again for her tummy tuck. I hope she is happy now...but seeing what those surgeries did...cuttin people in half and stretching their…

There are a lot of reasons why a person might be told that diet pills aren't the way to go. Remember this isn't just a weight loss forum, we pride ourselves on making long term health changes. Diet pills are not that. There are also a lot of negative side effects...especially revolving around your heart. I don't think…

I can't get plastic surgery, my luck something would go wrong or fall out/off. I'm trying to learn to be content with myself the way I am. Not sure what you had done though, don't think people can make an educated guess by the information provided.

How about we do what works for us and let other people do what works for them. ;)

I use crystal light...it might not be the healthiest but I drink 2-3 times the amount of water with it as I do without. :)

Hey there, I'm a bit taller than you (5'11") but I started at like 350...and I'm down to 215. I've done most of it walking and logging and I do weights when I can afford my gym membership. Feel free to friend me or ask any specific questions you have.

Well there are two things that could be playing into this...if you used to drink regularly (Or more than) for an extended period of time you can get withdraw symptoms from alcohol. It could also be the calorie cutting. They say 1200 is the minimum safe area, but I've found most people are better on at least 1500, now I'm…

I have three meals a day under 500 calories and then I have three 1-200 calories snacks. :)

Amazing job, congratulations :)

Wow you look stunning! Thanks for the inspiration, to youtube I go!

Congrats! Must be a great feeling. :)

I've lost a lot and there are certain parts of my body that are a little saggy. However when I was heavy I refused to get lapband because I didn't need it...I certainly don't need to get cut in half and pulled. I saw my mother get the stomach staple and a tummy tuck and now I never will. Way too much risk for vanity in my…

Oi that made me cry a little, not gonna lie. I saw a comment about not listing company names and such, if I listed my companies name in a negative way and they really felt some kinda way about it, I could be fined and fired. So I get that part. Nice post though.

That's amazing Annalobdell! Being able to sleep through the night must be helping too. :) Can't wait till you hit your lowest, I always get re motivated when something big like that comes around.

I am now an oatmeal addict. I eat it on any day that I can afford the 45 grams of carbs (Gotta watch my sugar.) I also love squash and eggplant Yogurt Crystal light (the stuff is like crack. lol) Sweet potatoes

That's a really good idea I'll have to try it! :)

The site as a health and fitness site has to maintain very high standards and make sure that they don't support anything that could be dangerous to it's members. So what you do is fine and if it works for you, great...but the site has these guidelines. Out of respect for the site I think it's members should follow their…

It's nice to hear from you guys and welcome to our little corner. Borderline is a hell of a thing to live with. I still see myself bigger too, and oddly enough I'm 100% more self critical now that I've lost weight than I was when I was big. It's something I can't explain, and I'm not enjoy it either. If you take it day by…

Honestly...from 350 pounds to 260...I think people just saw big. :/ From 260- 210 people really noticed...and I'm hoping from 210-170 will be the big bang. Please keep in mind I am 5'11" not average female height. <3
