  • Life stress which usually ends up with me eating fast food and just letting my diet in general go to pot. I've been developing better coping skills so that I don't let life get me down so easily.

  • Honestly getting over the hump is hard but once you start not giving in to snacks you'll find that it gets much easier as you go. It helped me to get rid of all the snacks I liked for about a month and to give my husband a list to do the shopping (I told my husband to get the snacks that he liked and that I hated). Once I…

  • I also do not enjoy working out in front of others. When I can afford it I enroll myself in a fitness class so it sort of forces me to go (I can't stand to waste money). Right now though I am doing calisthenics in my apartment. I just found a few exercise lists online and I do those for 30 minutes a day. Maybe you could…

  • I had GD as well. Walking for an hour a day really helped with my blood sugar and I stayed away from milk in general because it was the worst offender for my blood sugar. If I drank it I did it in the afternoon before or after I went on my walk. I kept to things like peanut butter, eggs, fruits, veggies, meat, and whole…

  • None or less than 100. My food calculator is already set on a deficit of 1 lb a week so I eat every calorie and all of my exercise calories.

  • I guessed my correct size. All those years of sewing and tailoring clothes came in handy.

  • Not a fail. Not everyone enjoys the burn, myself included, or works out the same way. I don't read but I turn on my head phones and pick a spot to stare at so I can zone out. Before I can really notice I've been jogging for 30 minutes to an hour.

  • I gain 2-3 lb the week before but it's gone that week. Weird lady body... I don't worry too much about it since it always goes away.

  • Hopefully they will also educate the applicants as to what kinds of produce will last a while in their fridge verses produce they need to prepare in a few days. I'm sure it would be discouraging to finally get good food that you otherwise couldn't afford and have it go to waste.

  • My mom used those and they did help her a little but not enough to motivate her to keep using them for long. It mostly works because you pretty much have to stick to the diet or suffer the leakage. As an example: my mom got a hamburger patty which she says was okay with the Alli supplement. Then one day she decided to get…

  • Just because you don't feel hungry it doesn't necessarily mean that your body doesn't need the calories. But who knows, you might not need that many. The best thing to do would be to talk to your doctor because they will be able to take into account your personal health factors better than anything here on the internet.…

  • Web MD seems to have some good information: http://www.webmd.com/baby/features/stretch-marks-getting-under-your-skin However, as far as I know once a stretch mark appears you can never fully get rid of it unless you cut out the portion of affected skin surgically. I should also note that when I talked to my midwives about…

  • I had a really effective cleanse once that purged all the bad stuff from my system and then some. I believe it was called "Food Poisoning". Let me tell you that there is no product out there that is as good at cleaning out your system as your body is.

  • Maybe your ex knows you're on the weightless path or possibly has seen a change in you and is trying to sabotage your future happiness. Because if the only major thing he can pick on you about is your weight and you loose the weight, then all he'll be left with is his negativity with no one to project it onto. If you can't…

  • I've found that baby carrots and unpeeled oranges are pretty stable in the car for a day or two on a road trip without a cooler. We also like to stop at Wendy's if we need fast food because they have decent salads. The half size Baja chili salad is 450 calories with dressing (Without its 350) but you feel full because its…

  • I would count the salad, not so much to keep track of the calories but to see if I'm getting enough fiber in my diet.

  • I started my pregnancy with a BMI of almost 30 and at 32 weeks I'm up 14 lb. I had gained 18-19 lb but due to some pregnancy complications I was put on a special diet where I lost 4-5 lb in a short amount of time. If there is one thing that I found motivates me to eat right it’s that I now have someone else who depends on…
