Cheekbones (no need for blush for you!) EDIT: I guess mine could be "blonde" because I forgot that my main profile pic was changed to a golden retriever puppy!

Melinda -- I saw you said that you do not shop at Trader Joe't but you posted some "suggestions". Are these suggestions of things to find at other stores? I love spaghetti squash and skinny cow ice cream, but I have not seen either at Trader Joe's.

I just recently learned how to make the image show up in my actual message instead of having to follow the link. I'll try it out. This is the graph that I posted in my original message of the thread: Hmm.. I cannot seem to get it to work. I just see a broken image. Sorry -- I tried!

Oh wow thanks Betty! You seem to be right! That is very encouraging.

Good luck in reaching your goal :)

Thank you so much Crista! I had a few kind people message me with the information :)

When are Chocolate Suggestions NOT okay? LOL! I <3 Chocolate! Especially high cocoa content chocolate!

I really, really, really wanted to try the peanut butter filled pretzels, but I saw the calories and thought I would not be able to eat much. I think you could have 8 and it would be 140 calories or something. But now that I found out that it is your kryptonite, I think I'm going to have to try it!

Thanks!! I'm glad I started this thread too -- I'm getting tons of great ideas for future purchases :)

I love the Three Layer Hummus they sell. I like to dip their thin savory edamame crackers in it. Yuuuum.

Oh cool Southpaw! I did not know that. I will be really sad when we move if there is not a trader joe's close by.

I absolutely LOVE trying new things, even if that means I can only have a taste. The great thing is, my husband could not get fat if he tried, so he eats the remains :) For example, I love baking and cooking, so I made French Macarons for the first time this weekend. I did not even eat a whole on myself. I just took a bite…

Thanks for the ideas!!

You came to this board just to say that? Ha-Ha. Anyways... thanks.

It looks like their Cookie Butter has really good reviews. What do you put it on?

I saw chia seeds, but that was the first time I had ever heard of them. How do you use them?

Trader Joe's is great on pricing for most things! They have a lot of their own name on the products. But I hear they hand pick ingredients and taste test everything. I can get some of their high quality products for less price than my regular grocery store.

Very funny, I know a little more about computers than that ;)

I think it depends on your personality and what works for you. Maybe give it a try? But this is definitely the best thing for me. You learn a lot about your body and the numbers do not bother me as much since I know there will be a new weigh in tomorrow instead of having to wait another week or more.

Go you! I completely agree :)

Thank you!

Oh man! Can you tell this is my first time posting in the forum? Sorry guys! I have been clicking "reply" and I thought that would reply to specific posts and quote the text, but apparently it did not. So now my last few posts do not seem to make much sense. Sorry about that!

Thanks! I completely agree!!

Me too.. I track with the website and the phone app! I love how the accounts automatically sync!

Nice Graph! But how is that exponential? It seems to be linear to me. That's amazing that you can keep around the same rate of weight loss (seems to be ~5 lbs a month). Congrats!

I should have had everyone post what their profession too to see how that correlated to their method. Haha. I mentioned in my earlier post that I'm a scientist -- another data lover.

Me too! I'm a Microbiologist ;) How about you??

Congratulations on the new 1 lb loss! I think if it shows the lower number you are headed in the right direction, even if you dont see that number again for several days.

I weigh myself every morning when I wake up, without clothes (so I can be consistent Haha), and I record that number. It does not matter if the number or lower or higher. Are you able to see the link I included in my original post? It shows the graph of the last 90 days so you can see the fluctuations. It makes my day when…
