I would also use some doublestick tape to help keep the top from accidently slipping open a bit to much, but I think that you look fantastic.

I love that it is easy for me to do online and on the go. I helps me force myself to "check in" with what I am doing. I find myself being so faithful that I am seeing a difference in myself (and others are noticing as well). I don't want this to be just a diet to lose weight, I want this to be a lifelong lifestyle change.

Try parchment paper instead of wax paper. Wax paper can melt in the oven.

Have you been taking your thyroid supplement correctly? First thing in the morning, full glass of water, nothing else for one hour and no calcium or iron within 4 hours of it? Have you talked with your endocrinologist or primary care physician about your weight plateau? Perhaps your TSH needs to be retested and your not…

I have a pair of Spanx shorts that I wear when I am wearing a dress or something for a special occasion. It helps to hold the baby poochie up and not be so umm....hanging down there. However, it is a wiggling effort to get them up. Does it give the appearance of a slimmer shape? Well, I guess, my pooch isn't down there,…

Hello Simon, Great start and it is amazing all the different recipies that are out there that can make a difference between food tasting blah or yummy. Mrs. Dash has become my new best friend. Look forward to hearing more reports as you wind down.

My doc said take two chew-able Flintstones with iron and I will get everything that I need. They taste good, easy to take and easy on the stomach.

I do think that taking a pill to help is not a good thing, but it does what it says that it will do. I just can't see spending $50 dollars for a bunch of pills. I have tried it, didn't like the um...side effects. Lets just say that if you eat, you never know what the aftereffects will be. If you eat fried, any fried, any…

Turned 40 and fat...but fabulous!! :)

I was a coke fanatic. Always had to have it, no matter where I was. Then when I went to the doctor and he said quit it because of possible diabetic issues, I was terrified. nOoOoOOo!!! I can't go without my Coke! I swear, I was thinking that I was addicted. Truth, I was. BUT, I was able to quit, and now have been drinking…

Never met a Texan that did not like meat, and being a former one, I can totally understand the calling for that sizzli'n fired up meat. Any kind, doesn't matter, hot sizzli'n and smoking good. Nothing wrong with big ambitions! I have a few of them myself. My biggest temptation I have each day is that from where I sit, I…

Hello Heather, I think that you are making a great start. I always find that having a little help along the way does make it easier. Just give a shout anytime you have that craving and we will be sure to tell you where you can put that food instead of in your mouth.

Have a small tootsie roll midgie for the chocolate cravings. Chew a piece of the Extra Dessert flavored gums. You can taste the strawberry shortcake as you chew it away. For the crunchy craving, have some air-popped popcorn.

I don't think that you can beat yourself up over it. We all have slipups and then we look back and wonder "Why did I do that?" It is one of the hardest things to do; dieting and going out with friends who aren't. It is ok to slip once, you pick yourself back up and get right back on track. You found out early instaed of…

I went to my first class last week. Actually the ladies that I work with dragged me by my heels to go to class. I am not rythmically inclined, can't dance very well, and certainly can not do much impact on my right knee due to massive surgeries in there. I did NOT wanna go...nope didn't want to it at all. I did not want to…
