For a single 4oz serving I mix 2 ts butter, 1/2 ts dill weed, dash of lemon pepper, and 1-2 ts lemon juice, spread on salmon and bake. Even my very picky 14 yr old loves this. this adds about 35-40 cals depending on the type of butter you use.

A chat room/feature would be awsome.

My ex's wife- he was horrible to me when I gained weight after our daughter was born- a few years after I left him he met her, she was the same size I was after having my daughter and she didn't have kids (she has $$$- my ex is very very shallow) she commented once at one of my daughters school programs that she would…

The kids got turkey sandwiches on 12 grain bread, goldfish crackers, a gogurt, banana and milk. I don't have days like this to often, I do usually wait till noon to eat. I would love to hole up in my bedroom with my nook and some chocolate candy and chips but I want to fit into my tight jeans even more. Add to all that…

I'm in Bonney Lake feel free to add me-

Crud- I am away from home for the weekend- will weigh in on Monday, sorry hubby and I are celebrating 9 years of being married.

I would love to take part in the this..... are you on part 2? I weighed in today at 263.8. I am trying to get down to 260 by Nov 2nd for my anniversary get away.

Oddly enough I have had the same problem since Saturday- today I am actually able to walk mostly normal- up until yesterday i had to use crutches it was that bad. Keep it up as much as you can, ice, and anti inflamitory- also make sure all your shoes have good arch support, thats what i did wrong- spent to much time in my…

Ok if i figured this right you are biking about 10MPH- you said it is 1.7 miles and it takes you 10 minutes so I simply did 1.7X6=10.2 6 because 60 minutes in a hour devided by the 10 minutes it took you. Hope that makes sense and I hope I am right.

Almost 2 months ago I decided the same thing- its time I take time for myself- I am a stay at home mom of 2, a 14 yr old girl who has ADHD, and an 8 yr old boy who has aspergers, I also watch 2 little girls 5 & 8, and the 8 yr old also has aspergers. I live next door to my father and 1 older brother and usually cook dinner…

Have the darn hershey bar- i do when i want one. If you deprive yourself of something you want you will only crave it more- so give in, but maybe only eat half of it? I buy the snack size bars and have them if I am craving chocolate. Don't worry about what you are going to have tomorrow- tomorrow will be here soon enough.…

Do you have an alarm clock or any other things plugged in in your room that have any sort of light on them? I have had troubles sleeping my entire life- yet I noticed when I am away from home I sleep well- the other day I forgot to put my alarm clock back in my room (daughter had to borrow it for a night)- my husband…

Normally I get pretty close to my cals and such daily- but on days like today where I don't eat until dinner its hard to get enough cals, protein, carbs, etc without resorting to unhealthy foods. I never did get to have some PB on celery and in fact couldn't finish my healthy snack of carrots and celery from early this…

Ok i will go have some PB with celery just to get some more protein and cals and such. Thanks for everyone input. I didn't mean to do this today just didn't feel so good earlier on and knew if I ate I would get sick. Have a great day/night.

I got preg and took the eating for two seriously, then got really depressed, and was is a bad relationship-very abusive Fast forward 14 years and i am now (and have been for over 9 years) with a very nice loving man, have gained even more weight again preg and then post partum depression- and finally decided to be the girl…

I feel your pain. My husband isn't autistic, but our son has aspergers, and my husband brings me things he knows I don't want/need because he wants to make me happy (I often wonder if my husband doesn't have a very mild form of aspergers as well). For me I have found if I make a big deal out of a fruit/veggie I wish we had…

I take chaser before I drink- other wise even just half a beer and i will have a hangover from hell (for being a big girl i am a light weight with any kind of alcohol). Oh and make sure it is the original chaser, not the newer chaser II- they don't work. If I can't find chaser I go to a gas station and find some of the…

My husband has told me he doesn't want me to lose weight because he is afraid i will leave him (he is CRAZY i love the man). Maybe it is a combintaion of his insecurities and him feeling like you are spending too much time losing weight and not enough time with him? Like someone else has said- spend a week or so giving him…

Do you need to vent about your day? I know sometimes that helps me.

You are doing great!!! Whats going on that makes you feel like you have lost your motivation? You are here asking for help so you must still have some motivation. Last week I didn't want to stick with it, i wanted to eat whatever I wanted and however much I wanted and to heck with it all- so I know how you feel, but stick…

Had a rough day? I never sleep until at least 3Am my time (12:34 now).

Thanks gonna try to roast it with a little butter and b.s. Trying to get the kids to eat it.

Have some fruit. Watermelon is my fav- low in cals high in water and sweet.

I am trying to do things like toe taps while waiting at the bus with my son, and walking my daughter to her bus stop in the mornings (she is 14 and is not impressed lol). I stand up to fold the laundry and do side steps, same thing while cooking or washing dishes. When I go grocery shopping I walk around the store a couple…

Drink some water. Dehydration can be mistaken for hunger. I get the urge to snack when i crawl into bed at night to read- I am trying to beat that by reading on the couch or sitting on some cushions on the bedroom floor, so far it is helping some. Good Luck, we have all been there.

There is no "right" answer. Some people drink a lot of water, some people don't drink any plain water. Find what makes you feel best. I try to drink at least 12 cups of water a day and if I don't I feel sluggish- yet if I drink more than 18 I also feel sluggish.

Thank you for posting this. I am only 2 weeks in and have logged everything so far but there have been a few times when i didn't want to, but I decided the only one I would be cheating was myself.

Everyone falls off the wagon. Figure out what your roadblock is and work through it. I'm sure what weight you've put back on isn't as much as you think, and you lost it once you can do so again. Forget about your old routine, start a new one. You can do this.

I am a snacker also. I have found that keeping most of my snacks in an out of the way place helps. I put everything I like to snack on in a plastic tote and in the garage- that way I have to really really want it to go through the hassle of getting into the box. I do keep a few unhealthy snacks handy but they are…

I use MIO in my water- I fill an 8 cup water bottle first thing when I get up and drink that, usually by dinner time I need to refill it- I rarely drink anything but water these days. I don't like my water really cold or really warm, has to be just a tad colder than room temp, I have found that when I get really cold water…
