Organic low fat milk tastes creamier to me.

I had never heard of the 5:2 way of eating until my sister in England lost 42 lbs and told me how she did it. This is my first week and it was really easy. I don't usually eat breakfast anyway and on the "fasting" days I had a large serving of salad greens with some feta and tomato for both lunch and dinner. For dinner I…

Greek yogurt mixed with a small amount of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing (powder) as a dip with raw veggies.

That is great. You seem very committed. Keep up the good work.

I also usually go over on weekends (like to have some wine). I don't worry about it, just try not to go crazy. This is a way of life, not a diet, and we can only do what works for us as individuals or we will "go off the wagon" and be where we were in the beginning. Enjoy your weekends, I'm sure you are eating healthier…

You are doing great. I started January of this year and have lost 11 lbs and I am happy. I figure we didn't put the weight on overnight so it won't come off overnight. Also I hate to exercise, so I'm not, just walking some. I feel better with 11 lbs gone, I'm sure you feel much better too. Keep up the good work.

Been craving chocolate all day. Read your post, so now I am indulging in a Ghirardelli Intense Dark 86% cacao square. Yum.

Start you own Easter traditions with healthy food. I grew up in with an Easter Dinner of roast lamb (just a small amount), roast potatoes, and lots and lots of steamed vegetables. We did always have a nice dessert and of course chocolate Easter eggs. Stay strong, and it isn't the end of the world if you still have your…

Don't feel bad about yourself. Look, you are here and that means you are serious about getting back in shape. Look at the next two months to lose the weight you have put on. You can do it. Eat healthy and start each day on a positive note. It is certainly harder to lose it than put it on (at least it seems that way to me).…

You are doing great. Keep up the good work. How about a new hairstyle and a change in your clothing style. You will be a new you when you look in the mirror and see how great you are looking.

I find the easiest way for me is to plan my meals for the day. I don't usually eat breakfast ( I know they say you should) as it makes me more hungry. So in my head I know I will eat at around Noon. I plan my daily menu on my food log around the number of calories I am allowed before I eat, that way I don't veer off of my…

Had the same problem this weekend. Was ready to call it quits until I read all the posts. Going to start fresh today and try again.

Let the kids work their way through college, they will appreciate it more and get your tummy tuck. You deserve it.
