I wont flush the toilet in the middle of the night.

Checking in with a four pound loss. I have had two great weeks which is highly unusual but after three bad weeks it is a welcome change. I must say that the 5-6 small snack like meals is working for me. My cravings are significantly reduced, I am less hungry during the day (eating every couple of hours), and I not starving…

cv0499, Congrats on your loss!!! I traveled for business lately and had four days of hotel food. I passed on the bread everytime, and there was alot of it at each meal and snack. I also brought apples and nuts with me which helped during breaks and late evening. hellllooo out there. It is late monday night and less than…

This is my favorite post....Down 5.6 lbs this week. Woot Woot. After three weeks of stalls or gains I finally had a loss. Now the not so good news is that it equates to only a 1.2 loss overall from where I started. But I feel back in the game. Best to you all this week. This week is a combination of goals that I have been…

spanx!

OK I think it is my week to post a topic. I have quote to share that rolls in my brain frequently. It is simple and profound. I have been focused on eating multiple small meals/snacks during the day instead of several large meals. This quote seems appropriate... "Eat Food. Not Too much. Mostly Greens.", Michael Pollan This…

I checked in yesterday but did not list my daily/week goal. My goal this week is to establish and new meal/eating pattern. Instead of 3 meals and two snacks (usually when I have fruit) I am changing to a 5-6 snacks/samll meals. I have been reading about insulin, glucose and the glycemic index of foods. I believe this will…

Well in the 8 weeks I have been MFP and focused on healthy living, this has been the toughest for me. I started out up 3 lbs likely due to time of month. The end of the week and an upper respitory infect slowed me down and added rx's are not helping weight control. So the first four days I was keeping calories under…

You should have the calories but you do not need to have them imediately. You can increase calories over the next few days. If you do not get the extra calories you risk slowing yourself down with too few :)

Sending you a pat on the back for your good choices. Don't beat yourself up for not doing the workout, better that than the cookies, brownies and taco dip! And here's to tomorrow, a better day to be had.

Well I did not start out on the best foot this morning. I was up 3 lbs from last weigh in. I am hoping that this is a temporary up on the scale, maybe too much sodium ( I did have some popcorn this weekend) and also TOM is approaching. My mini goal this week is to loose 2 lbs and excercise 4 days of 7 for more that 30…

No not maybe, girl I am in. My goal is to loose 65-70 lbs. The dog in the picture is Banjo, he is a great excercise buddy!

Jeez, I am a total dork, did yo see that. I had posted my reply to you right in the middle of your message. I was just so excited and started typing. Okay, hopefully this is in the right place. And now I am repeating myself, and frankly isn't as intresting 15 secs later. But what I said was that I liked your name. I am…

Amber, Under Motivation and Support there has been a long running HCG thread. This might be hlepfult o you for information also by reading past logs. And as the previous repsonse said, read the pounds and inches. I have read it several times and I still reference on occasion. Also your doctor might be a great source. I had…

if you have never liked other articficial sweetners you might not like stevia either. i use the Truvia brand. It has the texture of grnaualted sugar and I add it to my coffee. I prefer it over splenda, equal and others but I would not use it as a replacement for actual sugar in recipes. The benifit to me is that the stevia…

Love the vape, herbalicious

I have the same concern. There are a few close friends and family that I share with. They are supportive and keep me motivated. But it is not public knowledge. i.e the entire office does not know. I have a hard time sharing. I do not want an unsolicitated remark about what worked for them or any comments when we are at…

If you can stand any more input...Maybe go 1/2sweet, 1/2unsweet to start. That is a start. My coffe shop makes it this way and Starbucks will also do this. Then later you can transition into all unsweet or add and artificial sweetner or natural lemon as your taste changes. Full sweet tea will become too sweet to stand.…
