Yeah I'll typically log candy like a candy bar which I very infrequently eat but I figured little hard candies didn't need logging. I have decided to start logging hard candies but gum not so much.

Got the booty BUT I want to trim it down. Any tips for someone with craptastic knees? I know squats and lunges are the best but I keep hearing my knew pop and it's not comfortable after a while.

I have a question for you: How do you find weighing your portions? Is it beneficial? And inconvenience?

Yeah stick to natural. The powdered stuff has added sugar and other things. I've had the powdered one and while it's convenient there's nothing better than the real stuff. If you're worried about brew time and all that good stuff, just pop some water in a mug for a couple minutes and toss the tea bag in. My dad is addicted…

Im the same way. I'll do a shake once in a while then follow up with a healthy snack.

Thanks you all for your advice and input! I really appreciated. Seems like I've been cheating myself. I will cut back on my sweet intake and stick to sugar free gum in which I will log under snacks :) Do you all recommend anything better?? I used to do grapes but I know that can up my sugars.

This is making me think I may want to cut candy out all in all....

I ate/chewed a bag of gumballs between yesterday and today....10 calories per ball (which is TONS for a small gum ball)...17 servings. The gumballs are def something I will be laying off of!

I know :frown: It's something Im working on but they are things I can keep at my desk and snack on to keep my mind and mouth pre-occupied while I work. I think I have a huge problem with that-always wanting something to eat or at least have in my mouth-like gum.

Lol I thought about that lol. I need to go back to having fruit for snacks at work :/

Wow that is sick! Like in a pretty awesome way! Congrats on all that weight loss. It's amazing how much of a change you can go through. I saw your quote and girl, you've got your abs now! :)

ONLY 8 YEARS????! Girl in this day and age it may as well be 30! Congrats!

This is also a great idea! I would've never thought of this. Thanks for the input :)

Thats a great idea! Cooking at home :) The bf has plans to go to an Italian restaurant that has the best lasagna in the area. So that means lots of cheese. I will look up the restaurant and check out their menu. I don't want to stick to salads.

Yay! We're proud members of the I.B.T.C. :)

Wow there are some insane letter sizes! I only thought it went up to a double d...double FF, I's and J's?! Good crimeny! lol

Hahaha, that's my issue too! Too much junk in the trunk and not enough up top. BUT I love 'em :)

Hmmmm, I've never thought of adding yogurt instead. I am a HEAVY creamer type of gal. I'll have to definitely look into it!

I actually prefer soy milk to almond milk. I use Silk Very Vanilla soy milk and it tastes just like ice cream-no joke. Even my brother who drinks whole milk (gross) is hooked on it which is unfortunate for me because all he eats is cereal and soy milk is not cheap lol. I also use it in my protein shake which makes the…

I love yoga! I've heard of hot yoga and just the thought alone makes me sweat. How are the classes? Is it worth is? I wake up in the morning and do at least 10 minutes of basic yoga stretches. I have lower back problems too so this really helps with that and helps me wake up :)

I'll need to look into that. Thanks :)

St. Johns Wort is also supposed to be a good mood balancer

Down 2 pounds! Glad to see everyone close to their goals!

I was actually thinking about that lately. I haven't started dropping much yet but with food I'm starting to borderline get worried about what's in it. Like tomorrow some friends have invited my bf and I to dinner (out to eat) and I'm already thinking of what I'm going to order. My portions are smaller, I'm looking at…

I agree. You need arch support.

I don't think it's unhealthy. I've watched and watch Biggest looser and those people lose like 10lbs a week and more. I don't know what your starting weight was but congrats on the weight loss! As long as you're being healthy about it :) About the imbalanced emotions like some of the people responded it may be your sugar…

I need a "bag" like yours!

That's a great idea eating every two hours. I work in a very fast paced place so do you have any suggestions for snacky foods? Im afraid I've started to resort to junky foods. I used to keep apple slices for when I'd get i a snacky mood.

That's the thing Im worried about is having to eat more to make it. I get home late as it is and I don't want to have to eat a loaded meal before going to bed.

lol not the word of God :) I'm too worried to work out because I know it'll put me much under in calories. I walk a lot where I work and I don't even factor that into my exercises.
