Me, too. If people knew about the hypothetical action, would they think less of me? Would I be in trouble? Would my reputation be damaged? Then it's not worth it. There is *always* a way to do the right thing.

Okay. This thread is, in my opinion, getting out of control. For those of you who offered constructive ideas, I really appreciate them. I've taken a lot from your posts and I've been encouraged today and (at least for today) I've managed to come in 7 grams UNDER my MFP recommended sugar intake. (I stayed within my other…

I'm not sure if this is true or not, but one of my friends really loves seltzer and she says research indicates it is just as hydrating as plain flat water. I also just searched on Google and came up with the following article defending drinking naturally flavored seltzer water from a Sodastream:…

I got hungry mid-morning and had a cup of tea (I don't add sugar or milk to tea) and it held me over to the point that I *just* noticed that it's 1:40 and I haven't eaten lunch yet! For the people who say "just don't buy it" - I know, I hear your point, but my husband gets them for himself and he can get away with eating…

Thanks for the ideas - this feels like such a long, uphill battle. (Which, of course, it is!). I don't really like gum (it usually hurts my teeth) but I do like mints, so I can try that. I also LOVE fruit (it's sweet!) so I like the strawberries/cool whip idea. The processed foods thing is an interesting idea and I suspect…

That's so cool! 10% sounds scary, but it really isn't - I weigh 253 right now so 10% is just over 25 lbs which averages out to just over a pound a week. That's actually really doable!

I'm in the same boat - been a member for over a year but now I'm actually trying to USE my account - I also have 100+ pounds to use. Sending you a note!

^^^ This. Losing weight and getting healthy can't be a hobby for me anymore. It has to be a side job. edit: I'm just saying this to counteract the people who jumped on this statement... To me, thinking of losing weight as being a side job means I'm committed to it. At my job I make promises to show up on time, to meet…

This will sound a little ridiculous but it is seriously the best pulled pork my husband and I have ever eaten: 1 package of pork sirloin (2-3 lbs, always $1.99 at Costco) 1 bottle BBQ sauce Put the pork in the crockpot (I do this straight from the freezer with no thawing time) and dump the BBQ sauce on top. Cook on low for…

I use Onenote on my PC (I'm under the impression that Evernote is a similar program for Mac, but I've never used it.) I organize my entire LIFE in this program with different "notebooks" for each section of my life. One notebook is Recipes and it has different tabs like the different sections in a cookbook. Each page of…

Thanks for this post! I've been one of the failed resolutioners many times in the past... this time, I actually have a well thought out plan and I'm excited about getting started with it! Thanks for the links!

Wow, there is SO much to think about here! Sounds like my best bet will be a stop at Target or Walmart for clothes and Costco for clothes/shoes. I'll check out Lane Bryant for a good supportive bra and see whether I stick with that or go with one of the many other fabulous ideas you all gave me. Thanks for all the thoughts…

Wow you ladies are fantastic! Thanks for so many quick responses - I'm loving all this feedback.

Has anyone had any luck with buying sports bras online? (Again, for larger women.) I'm concerned about fit and about paying for return shipping. Thanks for the feedback to be focusing on undergarments and shoes - I had a feeling about that but I'm still not sure what to get, and I'm really reluctant to get fitted for shoes.
