I agree! It really helps! Keeps me from messing up too often! :)

Welcome!!! Soundslike you are doing a great job already!! :smile: Personally, I don't worry so much about things like sodium and potassium - I just take a vitamin everyday! Only thing about sodium - if you go over on it you can gain water weight (so don't weigh yourself the next morning...scary stuff!). I mostly just focus…

I try to be on or under on calories, under on fat, and on or over on protein and fiber! I think as long as you are on/under your calorie goal the rest is more of a personal preference! Good luck on your wweightloss journey!

I've lost almost 30lbs and I stil fit into my fat clothes! Some things are kinds loose now, but mostly I REFUSED to but over a size 12 and I sausaged my big ol behind in all my clothes!!! I finally even ripped my favorite pair of jeans! If that's not a sign I don't know what is!!! Looking back at pictures and remembering…

I definately recomend continuing with school, if it is at all possible! Since you are planning on working in the medical feild - most hospitals have great health benefits at a VERY low cost (compared to other insurance plans). And, if you owe the hospital money (for services, surgeries, etc) they will work with you on VERY…

NO LUCK!!! Neither place had that soup!!! Is it like super secret soup or something?!?! I just wanna know how much I can eat for the rest of the day...and when you look up chicken and wild rice soup calories they range from low 200s to 500s...that's a BIG difference!!!

It looks like you've already met your weight loss goal and from your picture you look pretty thin...the bad news is that thinner people burn less calories doing the same exercise at the same level of exertion than a heavier person. You have less fat and weight to carry so its "easier" for you. Just keep up the good work…

Hey everyone! I just saw this and if it's not too late I would love to join in!!! I'm a 23 year old ICU nurse, I just got married this past August! I gained most ofmy weight one summer when my grandmonther was sick...i was trying to help her gain/maintain weight through chemo and what she didn't eat I did! I lost almost…

Congrats!!!

Personally, I just look at calorie and fat intake. I feel like if I go over on protein or fiber without going over on calories the that's fine! Since both make you feel full longer eating more of them can make you feel fuller longer!!! For snacks I like to eat vanilla yogurt with frozen raspberries (the frozen berries make…
-
I've found that drinking a whole glass of water before each meal makes me eat less at that meal and feel much more full! It also helps me get to my water intake goal quicker!!! Good luck! :)
-
Try not to stress too much! Eating at waffle house 1 time shouldn't derail everyhting! And it sounds like you made pretty good choices. One thing I've learned is to NEVER weight yourself the morning after you've eaten out or had something very salty. You would be amazed how much salt can be hidden in foods - and you will…

I have a friend who is a bit heavier than me. Whenever i am eating healthy and exetcising she always acts like I'm doing something drastic and unhealthy - like starving myself or something!!! 1400 calories a day isn't starving by any means! I think it's just that she is insecure and wants tolose weight too - without…

LUCKY!!!!! I wish I got to hike in oregon for my exercise! It's so beautiful out there!!! No mountains to speak of where I live in GA!
-
I've done something similar - and without being to graphic you will be trapped in a bathroom for HOURS and you behind will be very sore!! In other words, it's fine to do but be sure you have no plans for the rest of the day!!! Good luck! :)
-
That's great! Looks like you've done well on your own - so I'm sure you will do even better with all the help and support this site offers!! :) Good luck!!
-
Good luck on your weight loss journey! You can do it!!! :)
-
Both protein and fiber make you feel full longer. Low calorie protein shakes can really help if you're just starving! Also if you drink a fill glass of water before you eat anything you will eat much less at each meal! Lots of water and other sugar-free drinks can keep your belly full! More than anything I think (at least…

You can do it! A wedding is a great goal to work towards - and you deffinately have enough time to lose the weight a healthy way!!! Good luck!!! :drinker:

I love greek yogurt! I use it plain as a substitute for sour cream, or with honey or fruit as a desert/snack! I love the slim a bear ice cream sandwiches - only 100 calories and pretty big! I love trader joes kettle corn - they make it in single serving bags and one (pretty good sized) bag has only 120 calories and its…

My wedding was in the summer - but I've always liked the idea of a fall themed wedding with sunflowers and orange and gold and purple. My cousin had his wedding in october and they had a very natural theme with wildfowers and the ceremony at sunset at a farm. It was beautiful. But, I think it's your wedding and you and…

Sometimes you have to find the right amount of calories to lose weight. When I used this site before it gave me 1200 calories and I had a hard time sticking to it, and even when I did I didn't lose much. Not it gives me 1440, and as long as I stay within 100ish of that goal I've been droping weight like crazy! 5 lbs in the…

I always get the "1 tip for a flat belly" ads...both on the top an don the side of the page. I mean...I want a flat belly...but it's gonna take more than a tip to get it there...

I am so sorry about your situation! There are many public hospitals and clinics that will treat patients regardless of their ability to pay - I am unsure if this applies to chemotherapy or not. I would talk to the oncologist and see if they can help you. Sometimes thay can make payment plans so that people who are unable…
-
I either cut it in half and bake it or boil it. Baking takes forever - but it tastes better! Just salt and pepper the halves and place them face down on a pan you have sprayed with nonstick spray!

That sounds great! I'll have to try it out at the beach this summer! The beach just isn't the same without a margarita! :)
-
Great Job!!! Keep it up! :)

Welcoome and good luck with everything!! :)
