It is a natural supplement that u buy in the health food store. U also need iodine and selenium which the doctors do not tell u. With l tyrosine u can take more in the afternoon if u…

I have lost weight on My Fitness Pal I still snack too much I appreciate the support I receive on My Fitness Pal

Hi Pat, all of the people on this site basically have a food problem. I don't think you beat the problem in just one day. I think it is a gradual change. I think filling up the time in the day with various activities helps some. Logging my food helps me. If I can ser what I am putting in my mouth. I believe a person should…

Yay!!!! Some good ideas. Take care of yourself. Are you in the draught in California. Linda :)

It's nice to have a jogging partner or someone who is working on the same thing... did you try checking on the my fitness pal community. Best to you

Glad you're back! Happy New Year! Bet the weather is great there in California! We've had some cold weather, but spring will be here in 2 months. LOL!!!!

Hey girl, If you go into your exercises, you can put your own choice exercises and then post them on MFP everyday. Good going!!

Hi, I think grilling veggies is a great option. Also, I don't know if you have heard of pinterest, but it is a great way to save excellent recipes. I'm involved in pinterest and it is so much fun and you can get such great ideas about a lot of things. Best to you

Hi, I see I'm a little older than you, but the goal is the same weight loss. I have my weight barometer set at 1/2 lb per week but it does not always happen. As you get into the weight loss thing, you start to realize some things about yourself and figure out why you didn't lose on some weeks. Lots of the problems are own…

Hi Marie, I know only a little about fasting,but usually you can have juices, etc. for some calories. Probably just trying to cut back on the calories you are having will trigger some weight loss. Sometimes we have to trick our body. :)

I use stevia regularly in my coffee and yogurt drinks that I make. I have done reading about stevia and it is suppose to be very healthy for you. Don't know about truvia, never used it.

You have a lot of input on your post, but thought I would give you my 2 cents worth. I am 63 and just started drinking coffee a few years ago because of the new dessert coffee called cappucino, late, etc. I do think you can drink too much. It actually can destroy your bones when drinking too much. I will usually drink a…

superb!!!!

Jennifer, I think struggling with the necessary weight is a problem for everyone. I have lost 4 lbs on the fitnesspal and I believe it helps a lot. I just started 2 weeks ago. There is hope and if you stay within the calories that fitness pal is suggesting for you and exercise you will lose weight. I'm routing for…

Well, What a post! Sorry for all of your frustration! I don't know anyone who tries harder than that. I see why you are saying that you quit. I believe if you continue to do normal excercising and do normal eating patterns, you should do fine. Good job!!!!!!

Hi, cwade, I haven't been at this very long, but I have used the equate brand from Walmart and I just bought the slim supreme brand from Meijer and I have found them to be very helpful. They are nutritious and give you necessary vitamins and can fill in the blank until you can do something different. I would recommend…

looks good!!!!!
