Wonderful post. Thanks for sharing. :heart:

I do not normally consume any diet products but today while I was out I decided to try the Skinny Vanilla Latte at starbucks to get my coffee fix without 500 calories. By the time I got home, I was tired, craved something really bad for me, and I got a headache. Go figure. I wish that I would have saved those 90 calories…

Welcome!!:smile:

I will try to do that. Is there anything in particular that you would like a recipe for? If I know it, I will share it.

Just remember that the more muscle you have, the more fat your body will burn. I recently read this book about our body being like a furnace. Muscle made the flames burn more......fat melted away. You are doing great!! I never develop muscle, because of that, I lose weight....probably alot of muscle, get weak and tired, my…

I have always been told that you should replace smoking with something healthy like a short walk or a sip of water. When I was pregnant with child #2 and I quit smoking, I became an internet junky. Everytime I needed to smoke, I hopped online. lol. Walking would have definitely been better. Do you feel like you are…

Bluestime, Do you cook the vietnamese food yourself? My food is actually better than most restaraunts that I have ate at. Now, my in-laws, they cook way better than me, lol.

I am a gobbler. I can't have a peice of candy in my mouth without crunching into it. Not even mints, and then I want to keep putting things in my mouth. But, I found that if I buy the Lindt 85% cocoa bars. I can break off a little peice, put it in my mouth and because there is so little milk, it melts very slowly and I…

I do not eat what alot of people eat and I usually only cook American food for my children. I cook Vietnamese or Thai food for me and my hubby and if my kids will eat it, they can. I love it and it is all that my hubby will eat but for a week I have been living off of canned food, boxed food, frozen food, etc. I went to…

Nope, I think that its 10 steps forwards, only 1 step back, forward again. You are not behind. Count today as your off day, eat a huge green chicken breast salad and enjoy!!

Hey Zenmama, Don't beat yourself up!! I mean, it was only a cheeseburger. Just eat healthy for the rest of the day, but please eat!! I understand. I took my kids to a pizza buffet for lunch. hahaha. I tried really hard. 2 peices of pizza, 2 glasses of water, a huge salad of romaine and light ranch dressing. A cup of…

I am copying this from my bag of Xylitol Ingredients: 100% granulated Xylitol What is xylitol? Xylitol is the name for a naturally occuring sugar polyol commonly derived from corn stalks and birch tress. It is much like many other sugars, but with a significant difference- the molecule contains only 5 carbon atoms rather…

I've tried several types of stevia and I just can't get used to the taste. The xylitol is similar to stevia in that it is natural, but it tastes more like granulated sugar (except finer). You can buy xylitol in herb/health stores. Gum manufacturers are starting to put it in gum too. It is very good for your teeth. It helps…

Xylitol is supposed to be very good for you. This is what I use. I will not use any artificial sweetner, xylitol is not artificial and it tastes excellent, maybe even better than sugar. It has 10 calories per tsp which is only 5 less than sugar but it has health benefits. It is good for your teeth and it is supposed to get…

I love mini goals. They are so much more attainable!! I weighed in this morning at 179 without clothes. My mini goal is to not hit the 180's when I put my cloths on. That would take me down to about 175 without cloths. I would like to reach this goal of 4 pounds 2 weeks from today:smile: .

Congrats to you!! :smile:

Just jump back on board. The train hasn't left without you, you just have to hop on!! :smile:

Awesome!! Heres to you!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

I always get sick it I take vitamins on an empty stomach. If I chose to take a vitamin without food, I will only take my kids vitamins that come from the herb store. Kind of taste like flintstones but better for you. I can't tell you how many times I have vomitted or wanted to if I take pills on an empty stomach. The room…

You'll get back there. You sound motivated. Just stay focused and healthy!! :smile: :smile: :smile:
