You will be fine. Progress not perfection. You are here, working hard, making progress toward your goal. This extra calorie day will be a tiny blip on your journey. The worst thing you can do is take it as a failure and sabotage your success....I know all about that reaction unfortunately. Leave it behind you and make…

And this is why I love this site...smoked paprika? Never even imagined such a thing existed and it sounds fantastic!!

This thread has been so much fun I had to go back to see what the question really was.....So, I would take the Miracle Whip back the store and tell them it doesn't taste right...which it doesn't because IT"S MIRACLE WHIP ..retch....thy will take it back because they for sure aren't going to taste it!!! No receipt?...Save…

Biggest Loser, the ones where there are lots of women and one man and he had to choose his true love:sick: and the other one where there are lots of men and one woman. American Idol...I guess any of the so horribly fake competitions. The Tyra Banks model one, too. Sorry, don't know the names, but I did watch them once.

Well said!! Oh, except I sorta like the occasional odd duck to mix it up!!!

Easy, you younger generation folks!! The shaving of all the body is a recent trend. Back in the 'Hippie" days, shaving anything was totally uncool. Every generation has its fashions. Still, I blame porn.

I like them all :) When I like them, the whole hair thing is just part of the package. I never dated anyone who was totally covered, though. Not really into the ones who shave and such.... And if they get their nails done, it really feels more like a girlfriend. Sorry - old school. What is fashionable in body hair has…

You don't have to miss this - its still on some channels!

OMG, the candy cigarettes....I totally forgot those. I looked so very cool pretending to smoke them!!!!

I had a similar experience recently when I started the C25k program. I haven't had my BP checked recently and I have recently started an ADHD medication which is an amphetamine. I am on blood pressure medicine, too, so I was afraid I was about to have a heart attack. Like you, I felt fine immediately after the exercise. It…

I posted earlier that I had just gotten the splint. I didn't mention that my husband also has this in the right foot like me...strange coincidence..anyway, this splint is really helping both of us. We fight over it a bit :) I also like any sandals that make my toes grip the shoe. I think that curves the arch up a bit and…

I am one of the ones that has trouble getting them into my daily food. Some days there are none, and I wouldn't mind a helpful reminder to get them in as well as ways to do that. Right now I am eating bags of baby spinach, which is actually really good. Probably a new topic, but when people juice their veggies, how do we…

Last night I watched Red Dog. It's supposedly a kids movie, but it was so cute and then so sad. It's a true story too for anyone who loves dogs, don't miss it!

: smokin: I really think the sugar issue is what causes this for me, too. Normally the amount of calories allowed here are plenty for me, but that blood sugar drop from sugar makes me irrationally hungry. I guess its the body trying to get itself back to normal, maybe a bit of carbs and protein will get your system back to…

You came back!! The first step is the hardest. I am so impressed with how much you have already accomplished and would love to be part of your process as we lose some more!! I am new and having ups and downs, but I can see that this site is the best thing for me. I need to be watched and know I am being watched :)…

Thanks for the You Tube idea!!! I will need something until my feet recover, so that is a great resource.

My exercise is taking a back seat because of foot problems..my only real way of exercising. I am walking daily, but even that hurts and is making the problem worse. I need to be creative and find ways to exercise that keep me off my feet and don't require me spend money. Floor exercise is a possibility and yoga as well. As…

I may be too old -57- but I have 100 lbs to lose, too. On my 4th week here and am still excited and learning new ideas and finding new friends to support and encourage and laugh with. I'm going to be here for a long time, so let's get going!!!

You are doing the right thing to reward yourself because you have been doing so great and being so disciplined!! Good sign that you confessed, too :)

Wonderful!!! Very inspiring. You are looking great, boobs and all.

I have it right now because I overdid a walk...and I am very overweight. I've had it before and tried all the stretching, etc, but had to go get a cortisone shot which fixed it immediately. I am treating it with rest and stretching again, but this time I knew what it was earlier and I can feel it getting better. I have…

I am trying to do this right now, but my family -(teen boy and diabetic husband )-are rebelling :( Their favs are foods that I can get crazy with. Am considering a locked cabinet.

Can't see your food diary. I have a similar attitude about eating creatively to include the food I really like. Mostly that works, but some days its different...I go way overboard like MaraDiaz described. It is a way to handle stress that really does not work out very well in the long run, but at the moment seems to be the…

I totally understand your need to keep going. I have this issue with fear of slacking and losing my momentum. I just re-injured my foot by walking too long...plantar fasciitis...it really hurts and I know I need to rest it, but I am just getting started on this site and do not want to take a break!!! The thing is that the…

Hi dottiejune, I am struggling too and I just got some advice that I know will help me - weigh and measure your food for a while and be very precise about what you eat. I have done this in the past and it really helped a lot. Please read the quote I have for my picture! It has helped me stay steady on this journey to…

Overdid it and irritated my ongoing plantar faciitis :( I wll limp along and try to get my bicycle up and working. Sort of took the wind out of my sails.... Walked 4 miles over very rough terrain. Walked one mile neighborhood stroll
