That's my plan!!! :flowerforyou:

Sure!! You could track it at the slowest rate!!! Hope it was fun!!! :flowerforyou:

I'm all about chocolate--some days are worse than others!!! Today-- I ate A LOT!!! :bigsmile:

ABSOLUTELY!!!! 2 Hands Raised!!! LOL :bigsmile:

You should probably take your blood sugar at least once a day--this will tell you if what you're doing is working & make sure you don't bottom out (go too low). You can drink alcohol in moderation--check your blood sugar levels & see how your body metabolizes it. I know a little more about diabetes treatments than the…

Absolutely!!! Keep up the good work!!

Hey, my Dr told me that in a recent study the group that I fit in over one year--1.7 died--of nothing other than being overweight, if I lost 16 pounds that would put me in the next group and only.3 died in the year. He said the life you save may be your own. He really wants me to lose 27 pounds total to put me in the group…

I would try to net 1200 calories. You would have had to eat a lot to gain 1lb overnight...it is probably water gain--not real fat. Good luck

Right there with you!!!!!

HaHa I'm just losing my baby weight & she just turned 18!!! Good Luck, I'm sure you'll be beautiful!! :flowerforyou:

I like to grab one in the morning--because I'm always running late. The Snickers Marathon one is good & if I'm looking for more fiber I sometimes grab a South Beach one. It's better than a doughnut or candy bar. :flowerforyou:

Definitely speak to a professional since your having hairloss, brittle nails--also signs of low protein. Maybe you need more protein--maybe stick to 1400 cals or up exercise?? Good Luck :flowerforyou:

.I LOVE DDP--does DP10 have 10 calories?? I would love it if it had less sodium!! :drinker:

I saw this in a different post and stole it--too funny. I don't run, but I'm sure I would look more like the little girl!!! LOL :flowerforyou:

I love Old Navy!!! I can wear a smaller size there...I know it's just a number, but it makes me feel good. I'll have to try the exercise clothes. :flowerforyou:

I guess I would say that you need to have a balanced diet with nutrient-rich food. I do believe that you can mess up your metabolism by not consuming enough calories. On this website you are restricting your calories to lose weight. How much are you planning to eat and can you maintain that level?? It has been my…

I can't imagine that it is healthy to take pregnancy hormones and only consume 500 cals/day. It would be incredibly hard to maintain the calorie level and the weight loss when you consume a more "normal" level of calories. Hopefully, a doctor is supervising your friend. It would worry me. :flowerforyou:

Walking is a great way to burn calories. If you feel the need to do different higher impact activities then you can alternate them. Her program works!! It's easier on your knees & hips & you still get a nice calorie burn from walking. :flowerforyou:

I have 2 kids, LOTS of pets, a husband and a full time job. It's very difficult to juggle all of it. I usually put the family first--I'm lucky that my children are older and that my husband often does some of the cooking. As a mom, I usually come last and most of the time it stinks. Good Luck & Keep trying. :flowerforyou:

Welcome & I'm sure you'll find the support and inspiration you need at this site. :flowerforyou:

I'm sorry your spouse acts like that. Maybe when he says things like that he thinks he is being motivating??? Many times men don't understand that most women don't see it as motivating, but as demeaning. Try to let it roll off your back and continue your choices. I would also try not to ask him for any special favors from…

I agree with what everyone else is saying--going over on the protein is ok--I try to make sure I don't go over the fats & carbs--not worried about the proteins as long as I'm still staying under my calorie goal. Good luck!! :flowerforyou:

Love it!!!! :flowerforyou:

Ima Pigg--This could be an urban myth

I look at it as a healthy sugar & eat it in moderation. It's definitely better than a candy bar. :flowerforyou:

I've found them at Krogers & the farmers markets. :flowerforyou:

Very cool!!! Keep up the good work!!!! :flowerforyou:

Very cute!! No where near slutty. :flowerforyou:

I make a vegetable stew with crushed tomatoes, a small zuchinni, a small yellow squash, onion, red & orange peppers, some italian seasoning--cook it up like a soup--make it as thick/thin as you like--microwave the spaghetti squash--remove from skin & pour stew over the "noodles"--you can add grilled chicken if you…

Denizen by Levi ( at Target) and Old Navy have worked for me. I also like the Lee jeans. It is really hard to find pants that fit properly--no gapping at the waist. Good Lucj
