I leave my house at 6AM to go to work and I get home at 6:30PM after picking up my son. I then need to prepare dinner, eat, clean up, give a bath, read books and get him to sleep at a reasonable hour. Then I go to sleep too because I need to be up at 4:30 to start getting ready for the next day. My husband works nights so…

If you are losing now I don't see why you wouldn't continue to lose, but I suggest changing it up a bit and not have the same thing every day. If you return to your previous eating habits you will gain the weight back so why not learn other healthy foods in the process

Nothing is black & white. It's all about moderation, do not give up because you had a cupcake!

Well thank you for posting that is very interesting! My husband went bariatric surgery, and his doctor told him the starvation mode (as we refer to it) was a myth but I never saw or looked for any evidence to back it up.

So correct me if I am wrong, but this is how I understand it. These people were on a low calorie diet for 2 years, and the only effect on their metabolism was there was a 180 calorie reduction in their daily expenditure? 65 of which was from fidgeting? Sounds like most people are overestimating the effects of being in…

The only thing I can see from your diary is that you use a lot of "generic" or "homemade" entries. Unless you are calculating the calories yourself from your own recipes those aren't always accurate. They are good as a guide once in a while when you don't know the calories in something but I would try to stay away from…

make your own pizzas, they aren't "big batch" but they only take a few moments to whip together and then about 7 minutes in the oven at 450. Arnold flatbread sandwich pockets (use them flat) - 200 calories 1/4 cup pizza sauce - 35 calories 1/2 c shredded cheese (this is heavy for the size of the bread) - 180 calories 17…

I hated veggies too to the point where I would gag eating celery and need to plug my nose and same with baby carrots, green peppers, etc. I kept eating them... it got better! I trained myself to accept them wether it was physical or psychological doesn't matter. Now I eat them. Try in small amounts and stay consistent. I…

Awesome job!!!

I always make room in my calorie bank for a treat. Keeps me sane.

If you skip lunch and the afternoon snack are you just going to binge at dinner? Have a small healthy lunch with some protein, some veggies if you get hungry in the afternoon, and get back on track! It is not all or nothing!

I used to be so addicted to soda but I hardly ever drink it now! I think your surroundings have a lot to do with it. My husband is not a soda drinker and neither is his whole family. So when we moved in together we never had it in the house. We have a water cooler and only buy milk. We don't buy it, and now I never crave…
