I take mine with a flavored creamer and Stevia...I just work it into my calories for the day.

I make pumpkin rolls every year for Christmas gifts, but because I'm on this lifestyle change, I'm changing it up a bit. I've decided to make Candy Cane Bath Salts in a Jar (http://christmas.organizedhome.com/crafts/gifts-in-a-jar/candy-cane-bath-salts) and Peppermint Stick Cocoa in a Jar…

Incredible! You give a lot of people hope, thank you for sharing your story!

I usually log everything to the point of obsession but everyone needs a day off. I'll be doing all the cooking and clean up afterward, which actually burns a lot of calories, and I'll be having normal sized portions of things instead of going nuts. I'm going to be skipping lunch that day, since I usually have dinner around…

I've never done yoga but I love Pilates, it's helped with my back problems and I have an abdominal wall again!!! It really focuses on those core muscles!

I'm not all that interesting, but I love to help others with motivation as I need help myself on occasion. Please feel free to add me, not just the OP but everyone on here.

I've lost 39 out of 101 pounds, feel free to add me if you like :happy:

I have slightly modified my Thanksgiving and Christmas menus to help me keep to my goals but will allow my family to sit back, eat and enjoy. Other than that, I'm planning on keeping portions under control but I'm not going to log, I tend to have snack size portions of some things and full size portions of others and it…

Wow, I must be really sick, why didn't I think of that? Thank you! I probably would have continued to research and gotten frustrated as hell.

I'm having the same problem. I get into the habit of exercising and then something happens (appointment, illness, back problems, you name it) and I miss a day and just don't want to deal with it the next day. I take three days off, then I get back on the "horse." I have to force myself all over again, but I remind myself…

From Idaho 16-pregnant & had him months after turning 17 (he's now 16) 18-2nd child (she's now 14) 23-3rd child (he's now 9) 26-4th child (he's almost 7) 29-5th child (he's 4 and hopefully the last) All but the fourth child was a failure of some form of birth control (1. condom, 2. the pill, 3. IUD, 4. planned, 5.condom),…

I do a lot of salads, meats, cheeses, and eggs...ugh! I'm doomed lol I guess I need to work on that hunger thing...

Almonds. They taste great and are low calorie. They also help to alkalize your body and are packed with protein and good-for-you fats!

I know you said you're good with deserts, I just figured I'd share my Halloween/Samhain Menu in full. The sugar cookies are for the kids, by the way. My desert will be the cakes and cider...yum yum! If you want the recipes, just let me know! Pot Roasted Pork Broccoli Stir Fry w/ Mandarin Oranges Butternut Squash & Apple…

This ^^^ except for Pepsi, I have it now and then but it's not a daily thing anymore.

I started out in February as a US size 28W, I am now a comfortable size 16-18 and still shrinking. It is possible to get it off, don't give up!!! I want to get down to a size 12-14. I've lost 35 lbs so far.

I have a half cup of cottage cheese about an hour before I go to bed. I also drink tons of water. It seems to be the only way to keep myself from emptying the fridge at night. Something high in protein, like cheese, nuts and meat (though cheese takes longer to digest), will keep your metabolism up and make you feel full…

My ex husband was just under an inch taller than me but I out-weighed him by over one hundred pounds. It always made me feel huge when we were side-by-side.
