I am sorry you are hurting. Does his actions bother you/ hurt you because the pictures are naked, other women, or something else? If he was in a muesem and looking at nake sculptures or artwork would it make a difference? Establish the action is hurtful and why it is hurtful to him and then let him explain himself and…

Good luck, I am also starting today (again) been awhile for awhile on line but still same as when I left.

How about protein- are you okay with this and your sugars? Chicken, Beans, Peas, and the yummy vegie burgers like Boca or Garden Delight.

has anyone had success with getting the right water, eating the right calories and excersing (450-500 calories per day for 4-5 days per week) in getting 10 lbs off in just about 3 weeks?

Welcome and good luck. If I might suggest the mantra- it is not a diet or excercise that will amke your journey successful but rather it a way to feel better about yourself and your health. Walk when you can and enjoy the outdoor warm weather. The for cold weather find an interseting indoor hobby that can burn some…

Sis is in my prayers- best wishes!!!:flowerforyou:

I think that there are times of overdoing it but I don't think under doing is going to really help. Just stick to your plan and get back on the workouts. Maybe add an extra walk or a few more push ups/sit up and don't count that in your workout numbers. Good luck- remember no bad or good days just days and sometime minutes.

my new favorite lunch is the south beach wraps- they are great tasting and you can assmeble in the box and use it as a plate. Two chicken wraps and SF jello. Calories are 220-240 depending on your flavor choice.. I love the chinese chicken and southwest flavors the best. They really fill you up!

Try just getting by hour by hour instead of an all or nothing for a day. I am sure others will chime in with getting out for a walk or something. I suggest getting a special cup of coffee or glass of wine if you make it for 24 hours, manicure for the next 24 hours, etc.. Just do this for about a week until you can get back…

You can try to take two children's vitamins instead,. take them before you go to sleep with just a little milk.

I am in.... Beginning today 181 Goal 171 Eventual Goal 160

Whole Wheat Pasta with Organic Tomato Sauce 280 if you use .5 cup of sauce and 2oz dry pasta. Plus will help you with energy for Weds. am work out.

Sorry to hear about your health- Not sure if you are willing to try some holistic remedies but ...if you want to try some... 1. Green tea everyday- at least 2-3 glasses (no caffeine so it can count as your water too) Also do loose tea from an organic/health store if possible. 2. Black Walnut Oil- a few drop of extract into…

Well I woudl say that you should try to allow yourself at least one cheat day a week to allow yourself a dessert or snack. Trying to get rid of them all together may lead to binging. That being said... I know that is harder said than done. It seems that if you have the item in the house, then it calls to you nightly, daily…

Welcome and good luck.:smooched: I haven't been on line for the past three weeks and I can really tell the difference. My progress haulted and not having the diaries really just wasn't good- sorta went crazy between getting ready for vacation, being on vacation and then gettin gback from vacation.. So new day and back to a…

Couple of ideas.. Allow yourself the treat within your calories for the day but limit it to just one day per week. Only bring into the house (for kids or spouses) candy you don't like...for example I don't care for the malt balls, sweettarts, jelly beans. I try to fill the 'treat jar' with those leading to the holiday. The…

You might be okay for a short time, but you have to remember that processed and packaged foods carry so much salt and additives they are just not healthy.... You will eventually get frustrated because the salt will retain some water. Suggestion for the future... try keeping some frozen vegies around and maybe a couple of…

Hang in there. I just posted something similar last week. I too have 15 pounds to goal and the scale has not budged.. but when the trainer measured me I lost 3 inches in the abdomen and 1 inch on the hips and dropped 1% body fat. I don't know why we are so tied to the stale but I too just want it to move- just even a…

One suggestion would be to excersise for 40 minutes to burn the extra 400 C- or at least try a walk to get half of those buggers back into your count.:drinker:

I have been struggling to lose the last 15 pounds of a 100+ lb journey. I work out 5 days a week averaging 500-700 calories per day. I have been doing this regime for that past 3 years. I usually come in under on the calories and really track it. I give myself one cheat meal/event on the weekend. The scales have not really…

I am with ya! Switched to All Natural Sugar in the Raw and it has been great! I don't crave sweets and chocolate like I did before. At first I had to use alot of sugar to make up the difference in my 3 splenda habit, but I have been cuttting back gradually to cut back even on the sugar.

I really like TAO

:smooched: I totally hear your pain. I have not lost since 2 weeks ago and I am excersiing more and really sticking to the food plan. It is totally bumming me out. I so want to be under 180.5 but it just isn't happening. Have you increase excersie and protein at the same time? Getting enough sleep?

This probably goes the against the grain... but I suggest you actual use sugar and take the calorie count. Stevia is at least a natural product so if you just can't go with the idea of using sugar try that. Your body is telling you something if you are having problems after using the substitiute. Additionally the…

water, water and more water....might help you get to your evasise number. Also, watch the salt this week. my number is 179 and I believe the two must be partner up in the 'never can catch me' club. good luck!

:bigsmile: keep the faith. I am too having the same issue. A friend of mine said to me last week... think of yourself as bamboo. You can place it in water, in the sun and really take care of it, after time you are about to give up and all of sudden it will shoot up about 3 ft. I think for some of us, we eat the right…

Oh I so know what you mean!!!! Sometimes I try to do the wait and reward game... If I really want to snack, I tell myself to wait 30 minutes. At the end of the 30 minutes, I let myself have the treat but I throw into the garbage disposal half of the item. I can't say I have had trouble getting to the gym. I do have a…

:bigsmile: Good luck and stay with the site- it is wonderful.

That's a bummer. It is okay to be selfish and take care of yourself and not worry about the others who are not happy for you. They will try to break you so that you come back to the flock but resist. More than likely they can not find the motivation in themselves to be healthier or they liked looking at you before and…
