I try not to go over too much on my cholesterol. Sometimes it is impossible...esp if I eat 2 eggs. But the other day I ate two soft tacos with no cheese from taco bell, and when I looked at the summery I noticed the cholesterol was waaaayyyy over. So, now I know not to eat those things too much. I also track sodium. You…

I find that most of the time, if I do not net at least 1200 calories I lose energy. So I try to net 1200. Sometimes that is eating some of the calories back, and sometimes it isn't. It just depends upon how many calories I burn.

I don't ever feel this way, but I am a loner. I am used to doing things alone. I actually enjoy it. But, I think I am a good support person. I am always willing to support and motivate and celebrate. If you would like, you can add me, and I will be here for you when I can.

Congrats!!!! I know you have to feel better. So glad you finally believed them. Keep it up!

I know this lady who has been eating healthy and exercising for 6 weeks and has only lost 6 lbs, but she has lost so many inches that she is down several dress sizes. I am down 16 lbs in 6 weeks and am only down one dress size....I would rather be down several....but its coming. The weight follows the inches lost, just be…

When I'm not hungry, but know I have to eat, I eat mixed nuts, whole wheat blueberry muffins, fruit, and smoothies and v8 vegetable juice and a boiled egg....

The question should be....are you healthy? It is a good weight to be at, but are you eating healthy and physically fit...that should be your goal....not some number on the scale...

You can eat what you want, but I have found that you are able to eat more and stay full with the healthy stuff. If you aren't hungry all of the time, then you will be more likely to stick with it.

YOGA, PILATES AND THE STABILITY BALL. U CAN FIND THOSE TYPES OF WORKOUTS ON DVD.

Wow!!! You are truly and inspiration. You look beautiful!!! Keep on doing it! You need to look at those new pics and tell yourself how beautiful you are...never put down on yourself. Always know that you are AWESOME!

Thanks so much for sharing this! It is very motivating to read about people who have done what I am now trying to do. I have about 120 to lose to be at my goal. I am down 16 lbs since Jan 10th. I already have more energy eating healthy and exercising. You give me just a little more hope. Thanks.

I fill up on fruits, vegetables and lean protein because it keeps me feeling full and it gives me energy. I exercise and eat right so that I can be in the greatest health that I possible be in. I get my nails and hair done on a regular basis because it makes me feel beautiful.

Mixed nuts, or any nuts, wheat thins or triskets, and the individual fruit in little containers...there is mixed fruit, peaches, manderins, pineapple- they are like canned fruit, but they are in plastic individual containers. I also have a container or peanut butter in my locker....pretzles.

I can't drink milk. But, I can eat yogurt....go figure...but that is definitely not enough calcium . So, I take a supplement. Calcium, magnesium and vit D. Dr. Oz recommends we do that.

I just finished my first session with Zumba. I really liked it...I am very out of shape, but I did my best. I have it on my xbox360 kinect. Me and my son were in there cracking up at each other....I'm glad I got it...I really does work your thighs and but. Mine were very tired when I finished.

I agree with what he stated....you aren't eating enough on the days you work out.

I agree here...Try to eat as much fresh food as possible....someone said salsa....fresh homemade salsa is sooooo much better tasting...

I understand you needing a break from all of that madness. I plan on cooking, exercising, going to the movies with my mom to see The Kings Speech, washing clothes and dying my hair, and playing on the ,.box360 kinect with my kids. I have a busy day ahead. I am just glad I don't have to work tonight. Oh, and I have to run…

Thanks for the post. I eat all of those on a regular basis...I try to eat fish twice a week, I eat tomatoes and spinach almost everyday in a salad, I try to eat blueberries everyday. Luckily I live in Louisiana where tomatoes are easy to grow. Cooked tomatoes have more nutritious value, so I try to eat a tomato gravy…

Do NOT GIVE UP!!! Keep eating healthy. Keep working out....It will pay off. Make sure you are eating enough for the amount of activity you are doing.

Hey, glad to meet you.

What I do, is I eat all day, but I try pick things that are not high in calories early in the day. I try to eat my biggest, and highest calorie meal in the middle of the day, and then I try to leave about 500 cal at least for my evening time. Usually I don't eat a huge meal in the evening. I eat something small, and snack…

Welcome and good luck! We are here to support you when you need it.

Yes, you are correct. The thing is, you will have to either know how the chili can be divided equally. Can it be divided into 4 equal parts? Can it be divided into 8? That is the problem I come across when I cook. So, generally I estimate, unless it isn't so much that I can measure how much it is.

Hey, How are you doing?

Hope you don't mind, I'm going to share this with another site that I frequent. I think they should know this.

Thanks for the info...will pass it on to my family members who love margarine. I really don't use margarine or butter much.

Good Luck! Hope you land on the moon!

Tooooooooooooooot toooooooooooooooooooot!

I agree with this post...it IS calorie counting....It just may be easier for you....I will say this..because they have counted the calories for you, and given them points, it may be easier. But, calorie counting is free. Just do what ever works for you.
