First I want you to know how sorry I am for your loss. I found that I became addicted to something I never had before but bought it because I thought it was healthier ... Hazelnut spread/Nutella. I found myself eating it right out of the container. I now know I can't have it in my house. I personally think that you'll have…

I don't know where you are from or if all GS do this, but in PA you can donate boxes to the military through the GS.

I have not tried this but I saw it on tv. You rub the area you want to work on with hemorrhoid cream, wrap in plastic wrap, and go to sleep with it on. In the morning its supposed to shrink you. I may try it someday.

The Cooking Channel is on with Unique Sweets.

If you think she'll take it the wrong way have one of the gym managers/employees/trainers say something to her. But I agree, something needs to be said so that she doesn't hurt herself in the meantime.

Yogicarl - I want your coffee cup!! Love it!

Highlights to my hair when I lose 10lbs. And then for every 10lbs I plan on doing something special for myself. I'd love to have my arms done once I reach goal.

I agree 100%! If you can't control your kid, then ask for a to-go bag so I can enjoy my meal.

You need to see a doctor. This happened to me and it turned out I had c-diff. I ended up being hospitalized. I'm not saying that is what you have but why take a chance. Plus I had it for 6 months and never said anything. I just thought it was anxiety or IBS - irritable bowel syndrome. Feel better and please see a doctor.

Popcorn is my new fave. And dried apples, I make them in the oven.

I did the same thing - bought a food scale - and measuring cups to keep myself in check. I thought I was measuring properly but in reality I was getting too much or not enough. I agree that this is just to help get you the "proper sized" portions. Once you figure that out you won't need to measure anymore. Even experts say…

I've been thinking a lot about this lately. Food rewards just don't work for me. So I've decided that for every 10lbs I'm going to do something nice for myself. Honestly I'm like most of you, and I just want to look better. 1st highlights 2nd manicure 3rd smaller clothes

Thanks for the link. I'm a visual person so seeing the pics helped me understand some of the choices.

I'm doing ok with 1200 but I find myself hungry at 8pm. Trying now to eat a protein 1 hour before I go to bed so that I can sleep through the night. Not to mention I'm horrible with drinking water. So for that I started drinking hot water with lemon, which is supposed to help with digestion. Believe me, I'm not saying I…

Muscle weighs more than fat is a myth ... a pound is a pound is a pound, whether its a pound of lead or a pound of feathers. But I do agree that maybe you're holding onto water weight. Are you drinking enough water? Maybe you need to flush out your system.

These are some good ideas. Plus I was thinking about getting highlights in my hair as my first big goal.

Thank you for your words of wisdom ... seriously. I know that you mean well, but some people have to find their own way.

This really isn't place for you then. We're all here to support you if you're serious. But if you can't help yourself how do you expect us to help you. Stop the crazy talk and find your motivation ... good luck.

This does sound yummy! :happy: Going to the grocery store this weekend, adding everything to my list.

Pulled pork sandwiches with green beans. Nothing fancy. :smile:

How has not one person commented on your loss? Wait I know, JEALOUSY!! You look great ... keep up the great work.

I know this sounds odd, but you can mix baby food veggies and fruits into foods that will help you get at least some of these things. I'm going to start doing this with my husband who hates veggies. Starting with spaghetti sauce. Good luck to you.

I agree with everyone, Nutella is a trigger that I didn't even know I had. I just finished the jar and will not be buying it again. At least not at this time until I can get my addiction under control. I'm a Jif girl that really needs to change to the natural PB.

Married without human children, one gray furry baby, and just turned 42 in December. I'm with a lot of you that have different eating habits then significant other. Starting husband on a healthier eating path is almost impossible. Trying to eat more protein, veggies, and fruit, and limiting the white carbs. Hoping to get…

I'm with you about the water. Really need to increase my fluid intake, but mostly need just plain water. Good luck with it!!drinker

I'm with you about the water. Really need to increase my fluid intake, but mostly need just plain water. Good luck with it!!:drinker:

Goals to complete before end of year: 1. Lose 20lbs. 2. Drink 64 oz. water daily. 3. Walk 30 minutes/day, 6 days a week. 4. Increase my protein intake and eat less carbs. 5. Finish my wedding album (we'll be married 7 years in April).

I'm a tea addict! Hot or cold, it doesn't matter. But Lipton is my favorite regular brew, and Yogi brand is my go-to herbal -- Raspberry Leaf, Kava Stress Relief, and Soothing Carmel Bedtime. Here's a question ... what kind of sweetener do you add if any?

No regrets, just wish I hadn't eaten as much chocolate candy as I did yesterday. Logged it all though and plan to do better today.:blushing:
