hummmm. I had never heard of Orlistat. I looked it up on the internet, and it sounds like a good deal. If this will help you, then I wouldn't hesitate to take it. Weight loss has to be something you really want. If you don't want people around you, there are other ways to keep them away other than hurting yourself…

Wow...I dare say when you go back to work those few extra pounds will vanish. At this point, I don't think I would worry about it at all. I know how nurses run their legs off, so very soon, you will be back down where you want to be. I wish I could say the same for myself. I would be delirious if I only had 13 pounds to…

I took a look at your diary and the first thing I noticed is that your calorie count for the day changes from day to day. You cant do that and expect to lose weight. Here is the formula that helped me lose 107 pounds in 2009. I got off of it at Thanksgiving and gained it all back, so for me, it has to be a way of life, but…

Well, here is what I do. I eat 1500 calories a day. I save most of my calories for the evening when I know I am gona wana snack. I eat about 400 calories for breakfast, about 200 calories for lunch, then I have the rest for dinner. 900 calories for dinner is a lot of food so by the time you start getting the urge to snack,…

OH, and I peel them immediately. No need to wait. The salt makes them peel perfectly..

I put them in a pan of cold water with a palm full of salt in the water. I boil them for 20 minutes and they come out perfect. The reason for the salt? They peel perfectly when I add salt. Otherwise they usually tear up and I have funny looking boiled eggs.

First figure out how many calories it takes for your body just to function, without exercise or anything. Do this on a weekly basis. You can find all this info out in the internet. One pound is equal to 3500 calories. Subtract the number of pounds you want to lose a week from the number of calories it takes for your body…

sounds yummy...thanks...I will use them all...

I wish I could do that...but that's how I get off my diet. Although, I do eat anything I want. I just keep it under 1500 calories. So really I don't deprive myself at all...but on Sunday, I just don't count the calories..

Cheese enchildas with rice and beans....or a nice steak...OMG....that would be the ultimate!!

thanks for that info sweetpea! I have only been here 4 days so not familiar with everything yet...but loving it!

yea yea yea....please keep em coming!!!!

What a motivatioin!! Thanks for that!

I know what you mean about the sweet breakfast...I too gotta have something beside sweet. I like the steak idea... Anyone know how long these posts stay on here because I want refer back to it for my breakfast menu. If they go away after a while, I need to copy them in word so I will have them.

some very awesome ideas here! I especially like the ones with the baked beans. I am gona try them all so that should keep me happy for a good while!! Thanks everyone for all the response. It seems if I eat a good breakfast that is satisfying, then I am good to go for the rest of the day. I usually eat something very light…

I love the cheese grits recipe especially with the cheese....I definitely will try this one...

sounds delish...gona give it a try....

OH, what gets me is the calorie content. My husband will say, "Oh you can eat that, it wont hurt you...it just a small amount." but based on what it is, it might be very high in calories. For example, peanut butter. I spoonful...over 100 calories....geeze...I would rather save it for more bites than just one....lol...

baked beans??? I never heard of having baked beans for breakfast. Interesting....is that the canned baked beans? It is interesting to hear about the different things people eat in different parts of the country. I am in Texas and I have never had a bean for breakfast in my life. But I love baked beans and they are a very…

ok, I love the greek yogurt but never thought about buying it plain and adding my own sweetener. Sugar free strawberry preserves or jam sounds really good. Gona try that. Love shredded wheat too. I guess if you get the plain kind it isn't so high in calories as the kind with sugar on top. It may sound gross but take some…

wow, I am overwhelmed at the response so far. I need all the help I can get, and the sit down exercise suggestion is awesome. That is one thing I lack in because of my immobility so that is wonderful. Would love to have some good breakfast recipes. I have no problem finding good stuff to eat for lunch and dinner, but I get…

I have been on the yo-yo diet for 20 years plus and believe me, it is very normal to not change a thing you are doing and gain a pound or two. Don't give up!! because next week you will probably lose extra. Look at what you have already lost!! Imagine in your mind that the weight you have lost is that much hamburger meat.…

You can also add me. I just joined 4 days ago and I only have one friend. I like you need the motivation. So we can help each other. Losing weight is hard to do so we need all the help we can get. :happy:
