  • *giggle* People here are just as brutal as other places. They may be more so since most of them are hungry. <3 this! haha
  • Good for you that you're trying to quit smoking. And looks like you're quitting while you're still young too. I've had a couple of uncles quit, but only when they started having very bad bronchitis when they got older, so that basically scared them into quitting. Anyway, good luck on your weight loss journey...See you…
  • Why, hello there.... 36 hours straight--wow! I'm happy to see that someone actually responded. LOL Haven't seen much action in this forum. Anyway, I live in southern California, originally from NYC. Where's everybody from?
  • I never heard about the SoS diet until I read your post, but I'm interested in trying it. I do have a family member--he was about 20 lbs overweight--who cut out sugar from his morning coffee, and this ONE change in lifestyle led to losing 30 lbs for one year (he had used about 4 tsps of sugar/day previously). I asked what…

  • The power of Zumba indeed! Sorry if I missed this, but can you please share for how long you were doing Zumba and for how many days a week?
  • You're doing fine. If it makes you feel any better, I'm trying to lose 10-15 pounds total and I haven't lost a pound this month. I would be ecstatic if i lost "4 lousy pounds" in one month. But I know it's harder to lose weight if one starts out closer to their goal weight, so I'm trying to switch stuff up through my diet…
  • Bumpity bump bump. Thanks!
  • I've had a similar issue where I've been exercising 30min-60min/day, counting calories (1200-1300/day), and I haven't lost any weight at all since April. I know in my heart that I probably need to eat more raw food (salads, fruits, uncooked veggies) , basically food actually found in nature since my body may have reached a…
  • Hi All! I was born and raised in New York, currently living in California. Proud of my Filipino heritage! Feel free to add me--Let's count the ginataan and pancit calories together. hehe!
  • Thanks for the suggestions! I will definitely try the Fiber One and Skinny Cow snacks. Ultimately I would like to cut out processed foods in general, but these will help in the meantime. :)
  • Good idea about thawing the goodies! Sometimes eating is impulsive, so adding some time of "waiting" can help keep the craving beast in check.
  • I have two kids: a 2 year old and a 1 year old, plus a full-time job, so I totally get the whole needing to lose weight on little time! For me, what was really important is ensuring that I have plenty of healthy food and fresh fruit to eat in the house, so that when I'm strapped for time I don't reach for something…
  • For me, hands down: CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES Strawberries are low-cal and good for you, and you can portion out how much chocolate you want to melt. For the semi-sweet Baker's Dipping Chocolate, it's 10 calories a piece. The chocolate covered strawberries taste delicious and rich, and I can never eat more than two at…
