I bought a deep freezer just so I would have room to cook ahead and freeze my own meals. I try to never make one meal, always enough to freeze additional portions. If I do buy a frozen dinner, it's Lean Cuisine butternut squash ravioli or Lightlife meals which are all meat free.

I also first joined in 2011. Just got serious again 5 weeks ago so I'm only at 15 lbs down. :happy:

I'm not lucky enough to have that problem yet but I'm sure I will. I don't know that there is anything you can do about it but you are relatively young so it shouldn't be to bad. Your body bounces back better the younger you are.

smart women grow out of it.

Thanks for the responses. Just got my fitbit one today and I'm looking forward to seeing how it works. :wink:

I used to have that problem too. It's gotten better though. I try to eat my last meal of the day, usually a huge salad at around 7 or 7:30. I usually have a couple of cups of tea in the evening too and hot liquids seem to help. I put splenda in my tea so it's a bit sweet or if I really want something sweet I always keep…

Thanks for the input. I decided to go with the Fitbit One. I ordered it through QVC so I can try it out for a month and see how I like it.

Today was my day 1 too! friend request coming.

I'm sure you're just as tired at the end of the day as he is. Dont' let undeserved guilt get in your way. I don't cook for my husband very often anymore. I became a vegetarian about 4 years ago and he isn't interested in doing that. He's a meat and potatoes guy and that's his choice but I am not opening up a restaurant in…

sending a request:smile:

Hi, my name is Jeanie. good luck! :smile:

you look amazing! congrats.

There are an awful lot of quacks out there and they all think they know best what you need. I'm always interested in ideas but I never take anyone's word for it. If it sounds interesting, I come home and do the research myself. There are many natural options for people and I don't mind trying some things out but I'm pretty…

It's a tough situation. I do the same thing sometimes. I don't really know if it's the idea that I already went off so what the hell or the simple fact that crap makes you crave more crap. I do know that it's very easy for a day to turn into a week and then a month. I've done that alot too. I know that it works best for me…

you can add me, we can always use more support.

they are better since sweet potatoes are better than white. even better than sweet potatoe fries though are butternut squash fries. They taste very similar to sweet potatoe fries but only half the calories.

I would love one too.

Your already doing better than I am. I would like more support as well, add me.

I would love more people in my boat. I'm 46 years old and 10 years post meno due to ovarian cancer at 35. I'm having a real tough time losing this time. It used to be so much easier. I would love to know how others handle these challenges.

I've heard those types of symptoms from people who have gluten intolerance.

Currently, Pocono Summit, PA but I'll always be a Jersey girl.

I have one every day to ensure I get enough protein. I know you can get enough protein without them but I find it easier not to have to think about the counts of everything I eat. The protein powder I use is 160 calories per scoop. I think it's a fair trade for 33 grams of protein. What else you put in it can add alot of…

I don't consume my extra calories. It's great insurance in case you go over but if your not hungry don't worry about it.

Hi, I would love to know what you guys think of the fitbit. I was looking into all the different devices of this kind and couldn't decide if I thought it was necessary. Is it worth it? What do you like/dislike about it? any info would help. Thanks

I don't think this issue has anything to do with religion. Religion is just the tool people use to to validate what amounts to fear. If I were gay, I wouldn't care what anyone else "thought" about it. I would however care if anyone thought they had the right to tell me who I can love, marry or have children with. I find…

You can add me. This has been great for me to help me stick with trying everyday. Some days are good and some days aren't but I know I can always get motivation here.

I'm having the same trouble and it's getting very frustrating. I will try some of the advice you got too.

I have to agree. If they do away with one word, they'll just have to come up with another to replace it.

Feel free to check out my food diary. I don't find it that difficult to get enough protein most of the time. I try all kinds of vegan products. I like trying new products as they come out without making them part of my regular diet since they are all so processed. I also use protein powders after workouts. Quorn products…
