I confess that I yelled at my kids for being irresponsible and losing all the Tupperware containers. I just cleaned my office and have about half a cupboard full of clean Tupperware that I have not taken home. My kids seriously need a new Mom!

I am in the same boat. I just quit in October, but I know that I can NEVER have another one in my life. The reason I know this is that I have quit SEVEN times. Each time, I thought I would be fine just having a social cigarette here and there. Each time, that social cigarette had me smoking again. This time, I know, if I…

I am doing the 17Day Diet. I am on the final days of cycle 3 and will be heading back to cycle one on Tuesday, after a weekend off and a Monday Smoothie cleanse. Feel free to add me.

I have lost 30 pounds, and though I have a really long way to go, I have really noticed the loss in my butt. My underwear and pants just hang there now. Every time I look at it in the mirror, I am all "Damn, girl!" It's enough to keep me going!

I have four kids and they are my life. However, since I was a child, I wanted nothing more than to be a Mom. I have a friend who is 35 and does not want/have kids. Her mother told her she is selfish for not having kids. I, however, think it would be much more selfish to have kids that you don' want. They are a lot of work.…

I have been eating super clean since January 5th and have lost 30 pounds. My confession is that I have no willpower. I make sure I am never alone at home (always with my husband or one of the kids) so I don't eat junk food. If no one is with me, I go to bed. I recently took over as office manager at my work. Today, while…

Wish there was a like button! I am also glad it is not available in Canada. Also, I love Jif peanut butter and it is no longer available in Canada...a great thing, since I can easily say no to any other brand.

I live in Saskatchewan - all prairie - an we do not put gravy on our burritos. Anyone I know only puts gravy on potatoes and french fries. Burritos are for sour cream and salsa.

This is me exactly...I always knew my food didn't touch (even though I like casserole :smiley: ) ...The bit about eating everything of one kind and then moving on to the next, I did not realize until someone pointed it out to me, well into my adult life.

I was also raised to finish everything on my plate, even if I was full. I am now obese. If my kids are full, I let them be full. Otherwise, I am raising another generation of over-eaters, who do not listen to what their bodies are telling them. If they say they do not like something, we have the three-bit rule. They have…

Garbage

I want to lose a total of 150 - I have lost 30 of it so far. Started on January 5th. Please feel free to add me. No one has ever said, "I just have far too much support on my weight-loss journey!"

Another example would be someone who is very active and healthy telling an overweight diabetic that it "makes them sad" to see that person eating a huge slice of cake that they shouldn't have. [/quote] This should never be said aloud. Every person's weight-loss journey is their journey alone. When I was about 12, my…

Funny story: I started taking Plexus the exact same time I joined MFP. I entered everything I ate into my food diary, including the Plexus. I lost weight and was a big advocate for the product. Then, my husband got laid off from his job and Plexus was a luxury I could no longer afford. I was distraught! So, I stopped…

I take Juice Plus when I am sick. It helps boost my immune system and get better faster. I tend to not eat as well when I am sick and I don't exercise. However, that is the only time I take it. I eat a crap-ton of fresh produce, so any extra vitamins from the capsules would be eliminated as waste anyways.

My suggestion may be completely unfounded and insane, but I would go eat a big greasy burger and large fries and then continue with the deficit as you have been doing. That is what I do when I plateau and it seems to get everything moving again. I don't know why, but it just works for me.

Another thing that has happened since we started meal planning, is that we pretty much do not buy any aisle food at the grocery store any more. It is all outer walls. (Dairy, Meat, Produce)

My husband and I invested in TWO deep-freezers; one apartment-size in the house and a BIG one in the garage. We started shopping sales on frozen foods to fill them up. we also bought a pig and a half-beef from a local farmer (way healthier and cheaper than store bought). The freezers are both now full. In fact, we have…

Yes, this year, since January 5. To be fair, I am morbidly obese and lost 15 pounds in two weeks. It has slowed down a lot since then, but is still coming off.

My confession is that my life/thoughts are consumed by food. I used to think about food and was eating all the time. I decided to do something about my weight and started this journey in January and have lost 30 pounds since. But, I am even more obsessed with food now and am worried that it is going to have a negative…

Anytime I know of anyone going to the US, I get them to bring me back Jif Peanut Butter. I love it and got hooked on it right before it left Canada! Come to think of it, it's probably best that I can't get it now...lol, because I won't eat any other kind.

I second that comment. I eat 2 eggs, yogurt and grapefruit for breakfast every day. 350 calories and I am soooo full. I can't even fit in a morning snack.

Good idea! Me:0 LNS:2* - however, I have been making better choices for my late night snacking. ie: greek yogurt or hard boiled eggs instead of ice cream and cookies.

I was having fun! It was the Grey Cup football game, which is Canada's equivalent to the Super Bowl!

Plain greek yogurt with cocoa powder and stevia mixed in. Yum!

Thank you! I am so tired of seeing all the posts on making cauliflower into something else. Bottom line is - IT IS STILL CAULIFLOWER! I don't mind cauliflower, so why take all the extra time to make it look like something it is not. Steamed with a few spices is fine with me. Raw is fine with me. But in the end - it is…

Don Henley - The Boys of Summer

My rule of thumb is that I eat all my fruits and carbs before 2pm. Only cleansing veggies and proteins after that. Weight Watchers did not work for me because I would barely eat anything all day and then use all my points in the evening. I have now totally changed the way I eat, taking in most of my calories in the morning…
