I eat what I want and its working for me..I obviously don't eat candy all day because I won't have energy and that's a fast way to diabetes,but I eat "nutritiously" When I want,junk when I want....Its working for me. I HONESTLY believe that people go on and off their "diets" because they feel restricted.I am not on a…

Yea,I can dig that kind of support..I will add you.I love new recipes too ;)

LOL!!! That;s why I TRY to stop reading peoples diaries..Cuz now I want CAKE!!!

Yep..It looks Yummy! I look at peoples diaries just to get some ideas and calories of different foods.

I toss them as soon as they start to look sloppy.I plan on shopping my own closet because I have sizes from 12-24 and I'll buy new items as needed from a discount store until I'm at goal.

Cauliflower mash,spaghetti squash,broccoli, or coleslaw made without sugar.

Thanks so Much!!!

I did.Nice to meet you hun!

Lol! That is one food that I could live without forever! Peanut Butter..But I do like the regular whoppers.There is this one cookie that i'm addicted to..the Biscoff (The Delta Airlines Cookie) when I buy them I have to leave them in the car and its COLD out here so I will not put on Layers to go and get em ;)

LOL! That's what I was thinking...With that Smile Judge me all you want haha!

True...That's why I only want friends who dont Judge me.That's the point of my Post. If weight loss is truly Calories in Vs Calories out who cares where I'm getting the calories from? I understand that eating well is good for Satiety,Feeling energized,heart health,and all that Jazz but at the moment I'm focused on…

Yes exactly! I could understand if I was not losing or lacking energy,but I'm doing fine.Down 13lbs in 3 1/2 weeks,8 while on here.I also know that junk is not good for me,but this is where my journey is at the moment.Nice to meet you hun!

O.K. Now I want cake lol!!!! Yes! I'm all about enjoying life. I'm eating whatever I want,stopping when I'm full,and tracking it all.The ONLY thing that I gave up is alcohol because I won't stop at a few drinks,then I'd end up at Denny's for a "4th meal." Congrats on your Weight loss!!!

Thanks! I'm usually good with Fats and servings..but those darn sugars ;( I plan on focusing on the nutrients better later.Trying to get used to tracking for a good month or 2 first...

I started at Thanksgiving time and I'm down 8 pounds...That's 8 pounds that I wont have to worry about in the New Year.I just have my rules for the Holidays... If its not FABULOUS I wont eat it..I'm not going to go GaGA over mashed potatoes or ham..I can eat those anyday. I will Go GaGA for my famous Pecan pie and Lemonade…

Heck! I am in a relationship and I'm as Bored as ever ;( All he talks about is sports.

Chicken tacos-Boil some chicken or use precooked,Shred the meat after it cools,add taco seasoning(its in the spices aisle)..or make your own. Put it inside a premade tortilla(hard or soft). Add sour cream,cheese,tomatoes,and lettuce...You can also omit the taco shells and have a taco salad..add salsa instead of salad…

I can lose 10 pounds in 3 days so it can be done...

Yonanas and more storage containers to freeze my own "T.V. Dinners."

Steak,Leek soup,Chicken breast,Asparagus,eggs,Unflavored Green or Oolong Tea,LOTS of water until 2 days before the contest...NO water the day before.My cousin Just did the Victoria secret fashion show and that is her "Pre Show" diet...basically low carb with lots of diuretic(SP) veggies.I tried it once and lost 10 pounds…

I Agree.Cow milk is for baby Cows.

I don't know but they sure are YUMMY this time of year while they are in season.I have lost 13 pounds in the last 3 weeks and I eat one everyday..but I also watch my calories so who knows...They do help with my sweet tooth(Pears too). I eat the ruby red ones..Half at breakfast and half after Dinner.

Thanks guys!!!! I'm going to research these and check the ingredients..I get migraines from MSG and certain dyes.Thanks again!

If I offer someone food and they say "I'm trying to be healthy." I would feel offended,like they are saying my food was not healthy.Their food may or not be healthy but I can still see how that can be taken the wrong way.I just say "no thank you." Or I make sure to visit the in laws after I already ate.When there is a…

Anyone?

When we are sick our body is working to fight off the infection not on weight loss.Your body will hold on to Fluids in case you need them.Your body was in fighting mode.

I took it before and it did help.I had TONS of energy to do things around the house.Actually,taking it made me think that I might need antidepressant meds because I felt more human while on it...Sometimes I was sad for no reason at all,but I never felt like that while on the Phen. I did have HORRIBLE Cotton mouth and had…

Start slow...it would be hard to go from 500 to 2,000 overnight.Maybe you can add a few 100 calories on each week till you get up to 2,000.At my job we give the underweight patients Ensure(the protein shake for older people).

No one can tell you the weight of extra skin because it will be different based on how much skin they have to remove and how much the Dr. actually removes.
