Can you learn to live without the sugar? I slowly reduced the amount of sugar I used until I was able to drink my tea and coffee straight or with a dollop of milk (because it's the only calcium I get all day, LOL). Once you are used to it, you don't miss it, i promise. It's healthier, and has way fewer calories when it's…

Here's the problem I have with that statement. When i was a teenager, I skipped breakfast and lunch regularly, ate from 3-7 and "fasted" the rest of the time. And I gained 100 pounds in four years, two years of which I mostly ate cabbage soup (not pizzas and burgers and other fatty foods...I knew i was heading for disaster…

I didn't know what that meant either so I clicked "Google" and typed it in. I know, I'm a genius. Who would have thought to do that? Non Scale Victory. Amazing what you can find out on the internet.

Does your school have a gym? Mine didn't but we could exercise at the Y for free. Ask around. I brought my study materials with me and reviewed notes, or read the textbook (if it wasn't too dense) while doing cardio. I learned that if I recorded professors lectures and listened to them a second time while exercising,…

ha ha, claudiagior, your husband sounds JUST LIKE mine! Men. Grr... :-)

It's always interesting to "peek" into other people's fridge like this! Our three things: eggs, miso paste, and fresh veggies (always carrots. onions, and tofu, and then a variety of other stuff) Running out of Miso creates a crisis situation at our house. I think it happened once back in 2009 and my Japanese husband never…

I know what you mean about balancing kids and getting out there to do stuff. Fortunately your son is old enough that he can participate in your healthy activities. Ask him to come with you and take a walk somewhere. It's good bonding time, and he will be the one begging to go out with you once he gets the idea that you are…

Sounds good. Personally, i cringe when someone I know drinks diet soda in front of me. My mother, after several years of drinking copious amounts of diet soda, suddenly had a period that didn't stop for almost a year! She ended up hospitalized, and the doctor at the time (this was in the early 80's) was doing research on…

I had two really. 1. A few months ago, I was flying to the US to visit family. Because i had an infant, we were placed in the bulkhead seats so she could be put in a bassinette. Those seats are significantly more narrow and the arm rests don't do up, so I had no choice but to wedge my fat *kitten* into it, for 16 hours,…

Hi! I need to loose 100+ LBS! Goals: Find a way to exercise. I have a lot of obstacles because I live on a road I can't walk down, an apartment too small to exercise in, and far away from a gym, and all swimming pools are closed until April. I will start jumping rope with my son for bonding/exercise time 2X a week, and try…

Add me too! Thanks :-)

I would tell them something like ," Look I love you and I don't mind advising you if you need that and you are trying to loose weight too, but you know, I want to talk about other things, like we used to do, and I don't want my food intake to be a major subject of discussion. If you can handle that, great. But if you keep…
