I have a great recipe for an apple turn over from a Weight Watchers Cookbook. Not sure if that works but here it is, it goes over great with everyone I've ever fed it to. You can't tell it's healthy :) 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and slices (not too thin) 1/3 cup raisins 2-4 Tbsp honey ½ Tbsp butter or margarine 6 sheets…

Hang in there and don't give up. Change is scary especially for those around you, even if its for good reasons, my family finds it threatening even when they say they want me to be healthier, and they express it by belittling my weight loss achievements. Don't give up, find the support you need with like minded people and…

I know the feeling! I say focus on low calorie, filling, good for you snacks when you are hungry. I keep cut up veggies in the fridge and a bunch of single serving frozen veggies in the freezer, to fight off destructive cravings. Also, I just got a popcorn air popper and 4 cups are only 124 calories and full of fiber, very…

Welcome :happy: , I too have struggled with food. But I love the support I've found here. I have to agree that food is not the enemy and I hope we all get to a place where it becomes just another aspect of life and not the major focus. I wish you well and lots of luck. Hang in there.

I get stuck eating the same thing every day, especially when I know it fits and keeps me on track. Your body gets used to it and slows up metabolism. Maybe shake up what you're eating and don't forget to have lots of water. Good Luck. :happy:

Right there with you guys on th extra calories. I asked my trainer about it today and she says if you aren't hungry, don't eat and not to worry about the extra calories from exercising, to loose weight I want a deficit. She's had good results with other people so I believe her. But you know I think I'm fat because I didn't…

I think the hardest part is listening to your body. If you take an honest inventory and really aren't hungry I say leave them. If it happens often then I might look at what I'm eating and add in a piece of fruit or something that's good for you, but you already know if you don't eat enough your body thinks you are starving…

I'm with the gang, 1# is a great shot. :)

I get flavored water Crystal Bay, it's fizzy and fruit flavored so it feels like soda a little. The bottle has 4+ cups and makes it easier to get the water in. It tastes pretty good. Good Luck.

Hi Laura, I'm Mollie. I'm new to the site but love it! I'm shooting to loose 200+ lbs. I started with a trainer in Oct. and am now really focused on making the commitment to good food choices and exercise. :) I'd be happy to support and encourage you and would love to have a friend on the site doing the same for me. It…

Pirate Booty is so good! I'm not sure if they still do this but I have bought it from Whole Foods, 5 or 8 single serving bags altogether in one giant bag which helps me. But it is a magically delicious snack.
