  • Do not go cold turkey. It's too hard on your system. Caffeine dilates your blood vessels, if you stop cold turkey they will constrict and that's what gives people horrible headaches. That's why some headache medications (like Excedrin Migraine) have caffeine in them, to open the vessels and have your head stop pounding. It…

  • I'm in a program at the hospital and they say weekly. Sometimes I can't stand it and weigh myself midweek too. Just remember, it will fluctuate so don't beat yourself up if you gain.

I snacked on fruits and veggies throughout the day. I measured out all my…

  • Get rid of them! My daughter just went through all my clothes. Some of them she said she never liked anyway and now was the time to part with them. I'm concerned about the money to keep buying clothes but I will shop at a local resale shop and Goodwill until I reach my goal. Someone out there needs your clothes more than…
