I mixed the vanilla with coffee, has to be cold or room temp or it'll explode when you shake it up. I really liked it and vanilla is not my favorite flavor.

I'm so happy to have found you. I'm in the same boat. I thought this was going to be easy, just don't eat through the night. Yea right?! There is food all over that place that people bring in. My weight is starting to creep back on. I hate it! I've been stopping at McDonald's on my way home then falling asleep. Starting…

I loosened mine one notch and that seemed to help.

Gitnfit2 -- I know exactly what you re going through. I had a kidney transplant on Dec. 1,2013. I was on hemodialysis for almost 3 months then switched to peritoneal. It's all very challenging. If you don't mind I'll say a prayer for you both.

For me I've noticed I overeat with stress and when I'm overly anxious. This happens mostly at work. I don't want to take medication, but if I keep gaining weight I may have to reconsider. I also realized that I'm addicted to sugar. HELP!

I need motivation ... Thanks for starting this. Name: Dawn Height: 5'4 Starting Weight (2/1): 180lbs. Goal Weight (2/28): 170lbs. 2/1: 2/8: 2/15: 2/22: 2/28: Loss/gain for the week: Loss/gain for the month so far: Struggles or successes of your week:

I just started doing that, letting everyone get what they want first. If there still something left at the end of my shift, then maybe I'll have it. I work at a long term care facility, so families will be starting to bring in "goodies" for us for the holidays. It would be nice if we'd get a fruit basket instead of cookies.

I wish you all the luck in the world!! Great job :)

Lemon Oreo cookies are the best! With that out of the way, you can't beat yourself up. We've all been there, and we'll probably be there again. You already said you knew it was an emotional binge. Plan now what you can do if the situation comes up again. That way you'll be ready. Good luck!

Where's the LIKE button?

It would depend on what I was getting out of the class. Is the instructor motivating me, making it a great experience that makes me want to come back? Or is this person sitting on a bench most of time, drinking water and out of breath because they walked across the room?

Nutella without a doubt.

I'm going to have the same situation tomorrow for Mother's Day. Here is my game plan: 1. Drink water before, during, and after meal. 2. Fill my plate with over half veggies and fruit. 3. Make sure the veggies are as "clean" as possible - avoiding oil and butter. 4. No bread. 5. Allow myself one dessert, depending on size…

This almost like the one I heard about - have no idea what its called - but you take a bite, chew it, then spit it out. I think the Air Diet is the strangest I've ever heard of, and today is the first day I've heard of it.

I bought the "dead horse" and I like it. :happy:

I'm also interested in joining. Stats: SW: 164lbs. CW: (Will weigh myself start date) GW: 145lbs. Goals: Just joined a gym and started walking with BF. I'd like to go to gym 5x week, workout 30 minutes to start. Walk with BF 60 minutes 5x week.

Agree

I checked my BMI and went with the highest possible healthy weight. When I reach that then I'll see if I want to maintain or lose more.

Everyday first thing in morning after using bathroom and naked. Not sure if it helps or hurts but I like to see it, gain or loss. And if I go to the doctor and have to be weighed I ignore the number. I only trust my method.

Around 10+ years ago, I was working at a gym answering phones and there was some kind of event going on. This guy, who I didn't even know, came up to me and said "You know Atkins really works. You should try it." Why do people think they can even suggest a way to lose weight? Unsolicited advice is never welcome in my book.…

Been gone for awhile now ... but I'm back. Was almost at goal but it got away from me. Goal this week: 1. Eat a fruit or vegetable with every meal. 2. Drink water with every meal. 3. Walk 5,000 steps outside of work. Good luck all!

I hate when people try to compare a pound of muscle to a pound of fat. Hate to break it to you but a pound is a pound is a pound. Quit saying a pound of muscle weighs more than fat. A pound of feathers weighs as much as a pound of fat!!

Start weight: 164.0 lbs. This week: 161.2 lbs. This was not a true weight loss through effort though. I got a stomach virus and was not able to eat anything more then bananas, applesauce, toast, and ginger ale. Actually had to leave work because I was so sick. Hope none of you get it .... :sick:

The original Strawberry Shortcake and all her friends. :heart:

Just turned 42 this past December. My plan was that when I turned 40 I'd lose 40lbs. That has since come and gone. Please feel free to add me. I tried doing this on my own and occasionally I'd speak up on a board now and then. This year I've reached out and have made some friends. This seems to help keep me motivated.

I just started this today in order to get my water in: Drinking water at the correct time maximizes its effectiveness on the human body. 2 glass of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs 1 glass of water 30 minutes before meals - help digestion 1 glass of water before taking a shower/bath - helps lower…

Started today: February 22 - Week 1 - 164.0lbs Good luck all!
