I switched from white bread and pasta to whole wheat. . I hardly eat potatoes or rice, since I don't really like them, but eat corn tortillas and whole wheat flour tortillas. I cannot take the zero carbs approach, as I have seen others do, because I don't have the will power nor the desire to do it. If you are going to eat…

Hi, welcome. Feel free to add me. I have been on MFP for almost a year and I am vey happy with the results and with all the support I have found on this site. Patience and perseverance are the keys to success. Best of luck to you. (Oh and don't mind the haters)

I actually feel very proud of the way I look after losing the weight, so much that I look at myself in the mirror A LOT

Because those stores don`t carry their sizes and many times the staff working there is mean to larger sized people. This post was supposed to answer a question as to why these people shop at Walmart and not at Nordstrom or Abercrombie, sorry.

Que importa?

I am sending Jillian michaels over to your house so she can yell at you because you are WEAK!!!!!!!

I was reading an article yesterday about how "moist"is the most hated word in the English language, SORRY, wrong quote

Just don`t dress slutty to try to become sexy. Wear clothes that give you confidence, but don`t make you seem desperate.

I learned the hard way that f someone wants to be with you, they will try very hard to be with you, but if they don`t, pushing will only drive them away. Two weeks might be too short a time in some cases or enough time in others, but you both have to be at the same point in the relationship. From what I read, he seems not…

There are several brands, CVS has its own brand, Tre semme also has, but for me the best one is "Got 2 be Rockin it" dry shampoo by Schwarzkopf. It comes in a silver can. You can find it at CVS, Walmart or Walgreens. You can also use corn starch or baby powder with cornstarch, but this is mostly for lighter hair.

Good for you! It has gotten to the point in which I can`t eat at any fast food joint. I feel bad about the calories and the lack of nutritional value. The road gets easier, hang in there.

I once walked into an Anne Taylor store and asked for a size 14 and the salesperson gave me a dirty look and said "We don`t carry those LARGE sizes here". Never been back, even now that I can fit into their size 10 or 8.

Just be careful with cooking with aspartame, I read it breaks down into nasty stuff. Use sodas sweetened with Splenda (sucralose)

Splenda gives me a headache, but I tolerate aspartame so I will have a diet coke once in a while (one every two or three weeks) . For my coffee I use one teaspoon of raw sugar (down from three). Normally I drink water.

I have been using my Fitbit Zip for 4 months and I like it and have recommended it to my friends, and several of them are now using them. I like it gets me motivated to keep moving and to complete my daily steps and calorie burn per day. We have competitions within our group to see who accumulates more steps, and overall…

My mom is one of those naturally thin people, and although she has a soft spot for chocolates, she never obsesses over food, never says things like" I am in the mood for XXX", in fact, she might even forget to eat. She tends to have small meals throughout the day and the main thing is she eats veeeeeery slowly.

Love Dean Koontz, particularly the Odd Thomas, just the right amount of creepy and suspense

Artificial sweeteners give me headaches, but I really like diet coke, so I will occasionally have it with rum. Regular soda has too many calories, so avoid it so I can eat something else. If you have leftover calories, I guess a soda once in a while is not bad.

Can`t remember who posted this a few weeks ago, but I copied the recipe. Haven`t tried it, but it sounded good.

I usually have the same breakfast. It is ok unless you get really sick of it.

There are some foods that produce more gas, such as broccoli or cabbage, which may cause you to become bloated. Perhaps Beano might help?
