And Wow! How well you've done!

the soup is good! there is usually a vegetable dish, and many with vegetables and tofu. for meat - stick with the shrimp or try fish lean pork (surprisingly lean pork - not ground is low in calories) or chicken. stay away from fried, breaded, sugary items anything, oh and no noodles.. beef is also very high in calories.…

Many times it's something we've ingested. try not taking the supplements and see what happens.

try stationery cycling or rowing. swimming is an awesome low impact excerise.

Could very well be gas. burning says yes... But, follow what your conscience tells you (if you feel it could be something serious). Hospitals usually has a nurse on duty who will ask a series of questions to determine if you should come in. Don't take any chances. Wish you the best. Good luck to you.

not sure! how long ago did you eat - could be acid reflux or simply gas. The best natural remedy I know is to take a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of warm water. drink it down all at once. give a couple of minutes - big belch! relief! It also helps alkaline the system. Alka Seltzer will do the job too. Hope this…

Add me.

Hi, I don't have 100lbs to lose, but miserable in my skin the way I am. I believe I've got a good network of friends, very encouraging - not judgemental. Love to have you as a friend.

50+ myself. if you want to be friends - add me. Welcome to the website and Good luck with your weight loss! Lots of great info and people on this site. Stick with it! You can't go wrong.

You look great! Where's the weight?

Hi Kayla, You don't have to beat yourself up. Many of us have been/are where you are. I've stopped and stared many time and read a great deal about nutrition and dieting. I'm clued in, but haven't always followed what I know to help (sometimes psychological) (emotional eating). But, I'm here for you and will be there and…

You've come to the right place! Nothing but good coming to you. Ask! and your shall receive.

Turkey is very lean. Then there's tuna (or any kind of fish), tofu (Yuk!) protein powder (Yuk! Yuk!)

Not maintaining. got a long way to go. maybe you can share some what you did to get there. you look amazing!

I actually like vegetables. but, it sounds like you want to spice it up. Try adding berries, kiwi fruit, apples, pineapple (great for digestion), nectarines, peaches (actually very low in calories). One thing I can tell you - the fruits and vegetables that give me a full sensation the quickest are Kiwi, strawberries, and…

You should have many great spicy choices....Yummy! I'd go with a shrimp cocktail, full of shrimp and vegetables (onions, cilantro, tomatoes, avocados) stay away from the tortillas, cheese, sour cream. That will be a good start. Good Luck!

Yes! You need to stay strong!!! They're not really calling your name.... (You've changed it!) When tempted, imagine yourself as you want to be - this will add motivation to back away from the candy. You've worked hard to get to this point also, don't let the candy get in your way! Another trick - imagine the most god awful…

I'm definitely ready to motivate! Although, realistically speaking, I've only been on the site the last three days (joined in 11/2010). Anyway, there are some wonderful people just like you - in search of motivation and whose lifestyles may mirror yours. I know, because I'm meeting them. I wish you the best of luck. You…

If you are speaking laxatives - Magnesium Citrate (saline laxative) works very quickly and flushes you out (you'll feel like a loads been taken off) (literally). For ongoing cleansing cascara segrada and/or psyllium husk (I prefer orange flavored). Now the psyllium husk will cleanse out old fecal matter as well. This will…

Hi Norma, you made the first decision - getting started. there are lot's of encouraging people on this site. and, many may mirror your own lifestyle and/or experiences. Would love to add you as a friend. Good Luck - Success if coming!

This is a good site. Lot's of encouraging and friendly people as well. I'm fairly new - 11/2010 I joined. But, I'd start and stop and then start up again. very inconsistent. My new start up is this week, this time I'm determined to take it all the way. I'd love to add you as a friend and encourage one another. Good Luck on…

You are just too funny! Good starting the day out happy.

I think he was trying to get you to use ice to dilute the "non-sugar" content in the soda. Although there are no calories to diet soda, they still will promote the urge to eat and/or drink more carbs. In other words, they affect the system the same way as sugar, and are probably just as bad on the kidneys as sugar. Hope…

But, I wanted to thank everyone of you who left me an encouraging message. My heart is warmed by your generosity to share with me:blushing: . I feel like…

Hi, I'm fairly new to the site as well. Been on many diets to no avail. Really going to give it my best this time (still trying to add excercise though) LOL! Foodwise, I think I'm on the right track. Look's like I have at least 70lbs to lose. I'm at 233 down from 249 when I started thinking you'd better do something. I'm…

Thanks! You've got one to suit any number of taste. Thanks for attaching the calorie count. Sometimes I like to substitute some items to satisfy my appetite. For instance, if a salad has cheese as an ingredient, I know if I cut it out and maybe add more vegetables or beans for fiber - I'll consume less calories and feel…

It was nice to see your post. Feeling a little lost. Semi-new to the site (11/2010). Start, then stop, then start up again. Anyway, I'm optimistic this time and telling myself "It took time to get here" "it's going to take time to get out of here" LOL! Being 50+, it appears to be more difficult to lose the weight. Or is it…
