Chocolate. Any thing chocolate. Ice cream, cookies, drinks, you name if it has chocolate I'm there. :p

I didn't know worked at the same place I do! I am under paid, over worked and over weight! I lost 68lbs last year and then gained 30 of it back. I started back about a month ago. So far only about 2lbs lost so far, but plugging on. Slow but sure will get the job done. Add me as a friend/supporter. We can make the struggle…

When my husband (now ex) told me I was to fat to be sexually attractive any more. Sent me into major depression. I decided I would show him. I lost 40lbs and divorced his @ss. I found a man that loves me for me. He is sticking with me through "thick and thin". He has seen me yo-yo. He praises when I lose and never says a…

You are doing awesome! Congrats.

You post sounds so familiar! I lost 68lbs a little over a year ago and have now put 30+ back on. I decided to get serious about losing this and keeping it off 10 days ago. I am also guilty of only logging when it looked good. I try to keep my "diet" real. I don't eat only diet foods, I eat what I want but in lesser…

I have been taking B12 shots for a couple of years now. For some reason my body does not store B12 like it should. I was so low in B12 that I was in the single digits for my levels. My doctor has told me that B12 is something that varies widely from person to person. The normal range is any where from 250 to 900. The shots…

I have been addicted to TAB, which has aspartame for more years than I care to admit to. A few years ago I was drinking a 12 pk a day. Not good I know. I was so hooked that if I didn't have it I went through caffine withdrawal. I decided I wanted to save money so I started drinking a bottle of water between each soda.…

a dance, a hug, then spank and bang until the sun comes up!!!:tongue:

Got serious on January 1st - so far 66lbs! :bigsmile:

great eyes

5'7" 54 today! SW: 232 (Dec 2012) CW: 169 (Aug 2013) GW: 150 1600 cal per day, normally eat less. Don't look at this last week, tho. I don't track exercise cals since I don't want to eat them back. Plus I don't seriously exercise. I walk now and then and that is about it. I need to start exercising to tone up, but can't…

Today was my 205th day of logging my food! YES, it works. I have exercised very little. I hate to exercise and will start something for a week or so and find a reason not to do it again. Logging has been my saving grace. At first it was just to make sure I stayed within my calories. Once I could do that, it became about…

I like to keep sugar free fudgescicles for those late night snacks. When I am not really hungry but think I need something. I buy the junior sized ones, they are the single pops, and only 40 calories. It is almost as good as ice cream and way less calories. Popcorn is another good one. Fruit, I also like to have Kelloggs…

Sort of given it up. I look at how important something is to me. Are the calories really worth it? Right now, no - alcohol calories are not worth it. I like the sweet fruity drinks and they are loaded with calories. If I really wanted the drink, I would have it. When I look at what I could have eaten for the same amount of…

bend over

I love the accountability I get from logging. I also like the ease of counting calories on here. Never and I repeat Never!!! grill naked. It can get down right ugly. :noway:

Naked Twister is actually quite fun!! :happy:

Good Morning! I don't have advise for food, but was going to suggest utube for exercise videos. You can find all kinds there. The Jillian Michaels ones are on there if your up for that kind of challenge. I spent 10 years living in Germany, once for 2 1/2 years and then again for 7 1/2. By the end of the time I was there I…

I think it all has to do with the how secure the person is. If someone is checking me out and is creepy about it - I don't have a problem telling them "Hello! my eyes are up here! No matter how hard you stare those girls are not going to talk to you!" If the person is being genuine about admiring how I look, I still would…

You look great! Your face is so much slimmer and you can really tell the difference in your body. :drinker:

If your a chocolate nut (which I am) I like to take Kelloggs Krave cereal, the double chocolate one and eat it dry. 3/4 cup is only 120 cal. It is shaped like little squares, so by eating them one at a time it takes a while to eat and by they time your finished your no longer hungry and actually had something healthy.…

Just any low carb plan?

HL - dental assistant. You would be much nicer to look up at than my assistants at my dental office.

AT my house we call this a "Food pusher". My mother in law is one also, but she doesn't cook she pushes goodies. Cookies, cakes, brownies, Danish and sweet you can imagine she is constantly asking if you want something, or let me get you a little treat. I have had to learn to take my own snacks with me when we visit. To…

Did you take measurements when you started? That can make a big difference. You may be loosing inches faster than pounds. I didn't do this an total regret it now. 1.4lbs for the first week is great! Keep up the good work.

At first glance at your after picture, I might have agreed with your being to thin. However, looking at the rest of your picture your fine. I think your cheek bones make your face look thinner. You have awesome cheek bones that automatically draw attention to themselves. Changing your life and loosing weight is hard! Most…

I don't keep any type of treats in the house that I like. Ice cream is a serious trouble food for me, so the only kind I don't like is Mint Chocolate chip, guess what my family gets if they want ice cream. I keep things like baby carrots, celery, fruits, nuts that I can put in snack sized baggies to take to work. Pack your…

I would love to hear what the trainer has to say. I need some kind of motivation to exercise. I hate to exercise and need to hear something that will help me want to exercise. I do fine with counting calories. I have lost 50lbs since the first of the year and still have at least 15 - 20 to go. I have a feeling I will want…

Take a look at your TDEE and see what the numbers are? You can google it and find several free apps to use. Personally I have my calories set at 1600 and have averaged about 2lbs a week. As I get closer to the goal I set it seems it gets harder and harder to stick to the calories. For most people 1200 is way to low. My…
