If you don't consume much fish, taking an omega 3 supplement is a good idea. :) Some people swear by l-theanine to help with weight loss and emotional well being, but I prefer drinking it in green tea form. ^_^

So I *think* I added everyone. Send me a request if I missed you somehow. ^_^;

Interested in being friends. :P

If I were to purchase a tablet right now, it would be the Nexus.

I know I'm a bit late to chime in, but kidney beans are good for you! :) Chili is really versatile. I normally just throw in whatever I feel like or have kicking around the pantry.

Have you ever been so attracted to someone's personality that frankly, you wouldn't care what they look like? Suddenly, they're the sexiest person alive. Attraction isn't so straightforward as appearance. I'm a bigger girl with a pretty face, and a nice figure. I've been rejected for my weight a few times here and there,…

Diet coke and rum isn't bad! Especially with a slice of lime. Same thing goes for diet gingerale. I know you said that vodka isn't your drink of choice, but it's worth giving a vodka and tonic a try. :)

Thank you guys! Especially for the almond milk suggestion. It sounds like an easy solution. :)

Fish oil might also be helpful, particularly if you're low on vitamin D. :)

I take One A Day Women's. I actually don't take them -every- day. I aim for every other day or so. Try to take them with a meal to avoid getting an upset stomach, but also to help absorb the fat-soluble vitamins. (Such as vitamin a & e.)

Two cookies in two days won't break you! :) That's treating yourself - with a *free* cookie no less. Put it in the past, and say "Okay. No more cookies for a while!" Then sick with it. It's one thing to cut back... another to never eat another cookie again. BUT, if your binge consisted than more of that? It's okay. Going…

Just be careful not to starve yourself. <3 And it sounds to me like maybe you could use some more social interaction if those are the only two sources of support in your life...

Hey there! I weigh 217, and was -almost- at 300 at some point. It was a big turn around for me, and it can be for you, too. :) Go ahead and add me if you're still looking for friends!

From what I observed from my parents being on weight watchers, this works about the same. :) Go ahead and add me if you would like. I'm always looking for new friends!

I'm not saying it's a reason for me to not be concerned. Considering that I used to smoke about half a pack a day when it was finals week in college, I consider smoking once or twice a week to be a big improvement.

I know I'm a little late, but the way I see it, do what you have to do to get by the best you can. At this point, it's pretty indisputable that smoking is unhealthy, but that doesn't mean that a person can't be in good health overall even if they're a smoker. Personally, it tends to make me anxious and screw up my stomach.…

Don't worry about sugar from fruits! That shouldn't stop you from eating them. Just try to avoid the added stuff. A lot of cereal contains added sugar, so maybe try switching to oatmeal, plain shredded wheat (if you're okay with gluten), eggs, or something of that nature for breakfast.

Hey there! Feel free to add me. :)

Apple slices with a drizzle of honey, and cinnamon sprinkled on top. Delicious and good for you! :)

The more support the better, as far as I'm concerned. :) I think I got everyone who recommended that I add them, but if I missed you somehow, please don't be shy and send me a request. ^_^

Loyal Angel, that is why I have discovered that audiobooks + working out is a great combination. It makes me feel twice as productive, and the time passes more quickly as well. :)

Added. :)

Woot! Thanks. :)

Why not stop eating gluten for a week or two, and see how you feel?

Try not to be too hard on yourself, Jessica. I know plenty of people who gained the freshman 20 or 30 instead of 15. I don't know what your eating habits are, but in order to avoid gaining weight in college, I made sure to a) Drink nothing but water, tea, or a small glass of juice in the cafeteria unless I'm treating…

I don't own an X-Box, but I'm a PC gamer, so we probably have some titles in common. :) And thanks for all the interest guys. ^_^

So, I'm a bit on the dyslexic side, and I originally thought this title said "Slightly Drunken" instead of "Starting Dukan".

Wow, reading this thread has been really encouraging. I just signed up today and wasn't sure about the kinds of support I would find. I'm just getting started, so anyone is welcome to add me. :)

Hey there! I'm looking for friends too. :)
