I say just follow the serving size on the box and eat your cookies, just don't eat the whole box in one sitting. grab the four or whatever and put the rest away quickly. :-) i did that today with thin mints. it worked just fine.

I LOVE Maxine! She's the best!!! Thanks for posting. :-)

I say definitely. I'm in the market for a polar ft4 or ft40 right now myself. I want to know exactly how many calories i'm burning doing my stairs every day.

OMG, that's excellent!

nope, you're not the only one. i'm definitely an addict. i definitely need a MFP sponsor. he, he...

SAME HERE!!! :smile:

i'm one of those crazies who weighs herself every day. I used to and then switched to once a week like you're supposed to but since i've been on this site, i'm back to everyday...it's what i do...get a little obsessive with it. But now I'm trying to just check it once or twice a week again like you're supposed to because I…

I'm 31 and married. no kids yet but we're going to start trying in May! i'm so excited! Feel free to add me as a friend and we can encourage each other along the way! :happy:

good for you! i'm proud of you for wanting to do this on your own. with us here on MFP to encourage and support you, you will be that healthy person you are longing to be in NO TIME! Good luck!

I thought the same thing! Great idea! I do like to drink and was wondering how to keep enjoying it without all the calories. Great post!

@Steph - I know, we don't want to leave my poor hubby alone with the babies. That would be catastrophic! He, he...i'm with ya Steph. I normally see much quicker results but the "good" effects of the pills goes away in about 3-4 weeks and they stop working so it's discouraging and then I go on to the next big thing. This…

Okay everyone, so it's been 9 days since I took my last diet pill and I have to say i feel great. Still have energy and all that so i'm attributing that to my continuous workouts. I think it's helping. So, just wanted to give you an update but I will continue to need encouragement with this. Thanks so much!

i'm actually looking at these watches right now too! i want the ft4 or ft40.

You're story is MY story! How cool. Keep it up! You can do it! Just stay focused and you'll make it through!

I did that but was just trying to see if any of them would reply to this first! Easier this way. He, he...thanks though.

8 oz. of red wine such as Cabernet Savignon is 180 calories. Just fyi. I like the vanilla vodka and diet coke mix idea. i'm going to try that because I like me a drink every once in awhile but i also don't like to record those calories.

Wow, that's AWESOME! Good for you!

I LOVE Zumba!

That's awesome!!!

That's awesome!

Thank you ALL so much for your help and advice! You have no idea how much it's truly appreciated. :happy:

OKAY, I DID IT. I threw them out today! I had a bit of a scare last night. Not sure completely if it was from the pills but it scared me enough to throw them away. I thought my heart was going to pound out of my chest last night. It was horrible. And my husband said to me "you're going to kill yourself with that stuff and…

true carolinegeorgie, that's the experience i've had. so just have to get back to the basics i guess. i know it sounds silly but it's going to be hard to give up this crutch. i know i can do it though with willpower.

too bad i can't delete that comment. that was silly of me!

Wow, it's like I knew the answer to this and I hear these comments every single day from my worried husband but maybe it takes hearing it from strangers to really work. I will just have to suck it up and do this the correct and hard way. I DON'T want to die from a heart attack, that's for sure. I still REALLY want babies!…

what's MFP and how do I get it?

well, i think this is a great thing...i've heard good for your heart and i love my wine. i've tried to cut back though just because there are a lot of calories in wine. i like your way of thinking though!

just checking to see if my ticker worked. :-)

AWESOME! Keep up the great work!!!
