I used to (and honestly still often time have) this problem!! Something that's helped me is that I chew gum while cooking/prepping food... always. And a minty flavor gum (i.e. not fruity) so it will make nearly everything you put in your mouth taste bad. Really- I chew gum almost any time I'm not eating to resist walking…

Welcome back! I recently also decided to cut back to the grind. I have about 40lbs I'd like to lose, so please feel free to add me and we can hopefully keep each other on track! Good luck!!

You look amazing- way to go!!!

Thanks so much :-) that sounds reasonable to me! It's hard to know what to google in this case... this site I've found has really had some good guidance on a lot of things, and I've actually found good tips, so thought I'd share for anyone interested! http://jointhereboot.com/ The movie this site is based off of (Fat, Sick…

I actually am still on it... on day 4! I plan to go at least another day if not more. I think I could definitely go longer if needed, but this weekend in particular I am going out of town and think bringing a juicer along with all my produce would be difficult to say the least :-) I did the juice fast (I'm not quite sure…

I've been using Walden Farms' Italian dressing for a while now and I love it! I think it has a great taste, and hey- you can't beat ZERO calories! I'm sure there are some real foodies out there who will say it's too good to be true or there's something not natural in it, but from what I can tell it's mostly water and then…

Welcome, and I believe you can do it! I too was once at a "healthy" weight (about 140lbs) and have allowed myself to put on over 40 lbs. I am a firm believer that if we were at the healthy weight once, we can certainly do it again! Feel free to add me; I'd love to encourage you (and hopefully get some in return :-) )…

Yikes- forgot to check in yesterday... Sorry! Probably subconsciously because I'm not a happy camper... SW - 180 lbs Week 1 - 176.5lbs Week 2 - 175.5lbs Week 3 - 177.2lbs Week 4 - Total lost - YUCKKKK I have completely disgusted myself this past week. I got sick and really depressed about it (I have shingles... what 25…

SW - 180 lbs Week 1 - 176.5lbs Week 2 - 175.5lbs Week 3 - Week 4 - Total lost - UGH-- The past two days I've been so stressed at work and have been a human garbage disposal!! At least I'm not gaining yet- but I've got to cut it out! Especially since I had been seeing results... how on Earth to I keep the inevitably "Two…

yum! thanks for sharing- I just bought some quinoa and am attempting to implement it into my diet STAT, so this helps! Thanks!

I'm a huge supporter of vitamins- I have been taking them practically since birth! I know the main ones that are super beneficial to your health are 1)a good multi, 2)fish oils (omega-3s) and 3)vitamin D, especially for women. I take many others on top of these (e.g. vitamin C, a minerals vitamin, and a few others that aid…

SW - 180 lbs Week 1 - 176.5lbs Week 2 - Week 3 - Week 4 - Total lost - AWESOME JOB everyone! I know part of my weight loss is from weighing myself in the morning vs. my starting weight weighing in the afternoon... but REALLLLLLLLY hoping this is a trend here!! Keep it up, and always looking here for inspiration and ideas,…

Boo... but so glad I asked- thank you both for your help!!!

I'm interested to see people's responses!! As previously mentioned- stirfry is one of the BEST quickies, and most versatile. I also love making impromptu tuna salads (one pkg light tuna, then sautee spinach, chopped celery, chopped onions, chopped red pepper, minced garlic- whatever you want- and add to the tuna with…

interesting!! thanks for the info!

Hey all! I've never done a challenge before, so don't know exactly how this works, but I DEFINITELY am in need of a wakeup call, so here goes nothin! Please let me know if I need to do anything else! SW - 180 lbs Week 1 - Week 2 - Week 3 - Week 4 - Total lost -

good for you for making the first step to join here! Feel free to add me as a friend- I'd love to help anyway I can, and I'd love the encouragement as well :-)

Take it from me, it is NOT worth it!! I was at my goal weight for approximately two years, and then I hit the stage that I believe you are at now; I think I can cheat more than I can because I had lost so much weight and felt great! Low and behold, about 4 months later I gained all my weight back PLUS some, practically…
-
yum yum yum! thanks for sharing!!
-
Good for you! I have been in the same boat (I've lost the weight but it always come creeping back!) so I'm hoping to start fresh on here (once again) to lose it and keep it off. Good luck and feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like encouragement along the way- I know I could use some as well!
-
YES I love these but you have to rinse them really really well and dry them really really well as well. I usually use about 10 paper towels to soak up ALL of the water (I know- kind of wasteful, but it's the only way to make them taste good). I also find that they are best with cheese sauces. I usually add a wedge of…

Here is a brief list of what I really like! 1. Greek yogurt with goji berries 2. celery sticks with Laughing Cow Light cheese wedges (there are a million different flavors, and only 35 cals!) 3. fuji apples 4. Gnu Fiber bars (banana walnut is my fav flavor) -- VERY filling bc they are full of fiber 5. Dried apricot and…

Amy's Light - Soft Taco Fiesta... SO SO delicious and lower calorie than the others!! I'm also a sucker for her low sodium brown rice and vegetables bowl (with tofu)! I add a little bit of soy sauce (which doesn't help much on the sodium-), which gives it a great little kick in my opinion!!

Welcome! I am new(ish) as well... i say "ish" because I've been on here but not active on the community part- I started interacting with fellow MFPers within the past week and it makes a HUGE HUGE difference... the support you find here with other people going through your same struggles is amazing. So good job on logging…

Haha I LOVE the idea of having your dog lick the spoon- that is genius! :happy: I might try that. And mixing it in with the chocolate sounds delicious as well... I might try this, and if i can't control myself on this at least I would've had a delicious treat. Thanks!!
-
you can buy it at Whole Foods or Central Market-- most upscale grocery stores have it. And I think you're right- I am just going to have to give it up and throw it out :-( For the best... right?! Thanks for the push!
-
Yes! I have tried this-- but same thing-- I will end up eating 1/2 the jar before I realize it... so yeah it's better than inhaling the real thing but still a disaster to my waistline. Ugh! Thanks though I might try to ween myself off of the real thing with this!!

Hey- I just wanted to let you know that I am RIGHT there with you- I have had a terrible weekend and in the past I have gone a month or so where I didn't log in because I ate so embarrassingly badly. Going through these cycles/waves SUCK and can be super depressing. I have not gone and deleted my account to start over, but…
