Refined sugar is the culprit. Not fresh fruits. As long as your eating a balanced diet and are not experiencing mood swings I wouldnt worry about.

I feel you on the chocolate craving. I have a chemical sensitivity that does not allow me to eat artificial sweeteners of any kind. My friend told me about chocolate Shakeology and I have been using that for over a month now. I sing it's praises all the time because I have not had a single craving since drinking it and…

I also really like Tony Horton's P90X work out DVD's. It is really hard to lower your caloric intake low enough to loose those…

Up earlier than I wanted to be. Loving the control that I have over my weight loss goal with the help of MFP. Looking forward to watching Bones tonight with the family.

I need to loose 50lbs myself. After years of being into fitness and personal growth I met a man who gave me two beautiful children but sucked the life out of me. I left him five years ago but all that weight is still hanging around. I hope that your surgery is a success and that you have a full recovery.
