Buy all natural juices (no added sugars) and add it to a big glass or bottle of water. It might take some experimenting to find something you especially like. You can also have several large water bottles that are easy to drink from and carry around, and squeeze limes or lemons in them. Store them in the fridge so they're…

I think the key is to not let yourself get frustrated, realize it's just food, and ALWAYS say no when you are asked. He is trying to be nice, but he is also going against your request and he should be showing more respect! Definitely. But in the mean time, just be strong, stay proud of yourself, and say no thank you! :)…

Don't weigh yourself. Instead, measure your waist line, just above your belly button.

Thank you for this! age: 30 height: 5'0'' SW: 185 CW: 166 GW: 130 *Feel free to add me, especially if you feel I am your "twin!" or close to it!

I'd say the first step is simply don't buy the chocolate. Find other people that are dealing with similar situations and stay inspired, just like you're doing here on myfitpal. Don't be too hard on yourself for any reason- we all have our battles and things we should change! Make sure you are getting plenty of nutrients…

Yup... well... a wide variety.. love Stray Cats, a lot of rockabilly stuff, also Joan Jett, Ramones, L7, Lunachicks

This was great to read! I just completed Day 3 of the 30DS and I love it. I feel more energetic already... and the "good" sore. LOL.

Definitely boredom eating. If I am stressed, I can just have a glass of wine, and I am fine.

I've never tried these, but here's some other info: Adios contains bark of butternut tree. Butternut bark is a mild laxative, and acts on the lower bowel 4 to 8 hours after the herb is taken. Unlike other laxatives butternut bark does not cause cramping. It is also known to promote the release of bile by the liver, and…

Thanks, I will have to try this!!

I say it a lot too haha. "Just sayin..." Maybe not as much as I used to. I did notice it was being said a lot these days lol... bananas I don't hear so much..

The canned pumpkin filling has spices and other things in it to prepare it to be used. It's kind of like the difference between a can of tomato puree and a jar of spaghetti sauce. You can take puree, add pumpkin pie spice and use it. Pumpkin filling probably already has all of that. For instance, when making a pumpkin pie,…

What kind of cereal? Was it high in fiber and low in sugar? Was your toast 100% wheat or 100% whole grain? Fiber keeps you full. Same with the crackers... if you eat cheese, try adding some cheese to it for the protein. Sounds like you need to add more protein to your diet. Try snacking on nuts and seeds, or greek yogurt,…

Ummm I'll pass on this one haha.. I'm a very literal person and wouldn't sleep with just anyone.. ha

hahahaha! That's awesome! And a great idea to add lentils... hmmmm... :):)

I don't know much about the program, but this site seems to lay it all out: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

Very cool and inspiring to see! What did you change to help you lose weight?

You definitely should be eating more, but focus on 50% of your daily intake as fruits and especially vegetables, tons of them!

Good luck Jackie :D

Made sure I had a high protein breakfast instead of not eating, waiting too long, or eating sugar/carbs!

Make sure you definitely have the appropriate running shoe. Specialty shoe stores can offer you great advice. Check out this video I saw on Yahoo! News today- pretty interesting: http://financiallyfit.yahoo.com/finance/video-should-you-save-or-splurge-on-running-shoes-26288198

I never have that problem because I work crazy shifts- my schedule is all over the place! I say try to find healthier versions of what you look forward to the most from your favorite foods! And just try to eat throughout the day, focus on protein and fiber.

Kara is my first name, and Icy rhymes with my last name, Heise. Nothing too fund and outrageous :)

Well, I say go by your waist size as well since you can gain muscle. Wii Fit or not, always weigh in the morning before breakfast, at least once a week. I measure my waist size to see if I've lost weight.

I think sucralose is better to consume sparingly than sugar, but neither are good overall. I use a little of both sparingly, but would like to limit them even more. Since I am hypoglycemic, it helps for me to have sucralose, or Splenda, more than sugar itself... but sometimes I need sugar to level out my blood sugar…

WHY USE PROTEIN POWDER Protein powder is used to replace or supplement food protein when food is inconvenient or unavailable. Generally, foods high in protein (chicken, beef, fish, etc) are costly and require cooking and preparation. A protein powder can be used at those times when you do not access to these foods or have…

Cool! Whole Foods has them too, but a different brand, for those of you that don't have Trader Joe's near you. Baked Kale is yummy too. So are Vegetable Chips.
