Why do you hate Canada so much!!! We don't want him back!

Fort Erie, Ontario. Feel free to add me.

I was in New Orleans in December. I don't have much to offer up unfortunately. We had the worst weather and ended up having food delivered to our hotel two nights. The one place we ate was at Mother's and it was delicious. The other place we went to I can't remember the name, it was the first place we came across when it…

Good point! Because we share our money and I like to travel we don't buy each other gifts for our anniversary, xmas, valentines day etc. What we usually do is just go out for a nice dinner or treat ourselves with sex toys...whooops TMI. I just had a bday and I didn't get a gift from my husband because we were on vacation…

Although getting paid to lose weight would be a fun incentive it wouldn't have worked for me, my husband and I share all our money so it would be like paying myself! What I did was declared that we would not go on another vacation until I hit my goal weight. It was a great incentive for me and my husband was more than…

I would be careful with the items you are selecting from the database. There are a ton of inaccurate numbers in there. I've even found that when I've done a bar scan it might show up differently than what's printed on the packaging. As tempting as it might be to pick the one that gives us the least amount of calories the…

Uhm, no. WW promotes their products but by no means do they encourage people to survive on their meals. They promote healthy eating and healthy portions using a points system. It's the points system that I found to be difficult to maintain. I find it much easier to count calories than points so I've stuck with it longer. I…

Exactly!!! It drives me crazy how repetitive it was, seriously how many times can one person bit their lip??? So poorly written, and yet I read it and enjoyed it for the most part. Maybe because it's a very easy mindless read.

Maybe I should invent scale shoes so I can look down and see my weight every second of the day!

What's really funny...or sad, whichever way you want to look at it, I've actually done a lot of things listed above at one time or another over my 30 years of yo yo dieting! I'm missing Susan summers diet, herbal magic, and a couple others.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I mixed my juicing in with my slimfast. I thought it would save time. Maybe that's where I went wrong! Tomorrow I'll separate the two and I'll try doing everything above while walking on a treadmill. Who would have thought this weight loss thing would be so hard...had I known it was going to be…

I was going to go with Acai berry, but it can't hurt to add raspberry ketones as well! But it still won't work because as stated above, I'm special.

lol, somehow I think if I did my diet would look exactly like the one I posted above!!

:ohwell: sorry you didn't enjoy my sense of humor...admittedly, I'm lame.

Love it!

Well apparently God prefers me fat then because when left in his control I was a pudgy monkey. OP, when I first started out I lost 3 or 4 pounds that first week and then nothing for a couple of weeks. That has been typical of the way I've lost weight over the past 10 months. I could go 2 or 3 weeks without a loss and then…

This thread made my day!!

I'm an open book, enjoy!

Getting my butt off of my office chair to go for my 1/2 hour walk. I'm so tired today (bad night sleep) and it was all I was worth to not just say screw it.

I've lost over 40 lbs based almost solely on eating less. I walk for a half hour on my lunch hour three days a week. So nothing is stopping you! Get logging your food! :wink:

In general I only drink pop in a mixed drink and I've always drank diet instead of regular. I always drink water during the day and I order water at restaurants. I hate drinking my calories (rum being the exception!)

That I need more sleep :yawn:

Well they didn't quit after 16 days. They weighed and logged every single thing they ate. I've been doing it for 10 months now and yes sometimes it gets tedious, but for the most part I eat the same thing for lunch and I repeat a lot on dinner foods so it's rather quick. You've spent years creating bad eating habits that…

Yeah, me too...sometimes I squeak out a second week. I weigh in tomorrow and I know it will be either the same or possibly up a pound or two. That being said, I'm better with "stay the same". I still hate seeing the scale go up!

You need to open up your diary and make it public, it's in the settings. I'd be happy to look at it and give you some suggestions. You could also send me a friend request and I'll be able to see it and you can have a look at mine. Last weekend I managed to go over my calories a couple days and so the past two days I've…

Wow, first let me tell you how impressed I am by your diligent work outs! I'm 43, weight approx 136, and I'm 5'5" and I've lost over 40lbs in the last 8 months, so our stats are really similar. I too eat around 1100 cals and often find I end my day at 900 sometimes because I'm either not that hungry or I'm saving up for…

I have a 19 year old...she leaves me alone in the car constantly!! Darn irresponsible teenagers!! And in the summer she doesn't even bother to crack a window...it's parent abuse I tell ya! :laugh: On a serious note, I don't recall ever leaving my kids alone in the car when they were under 10.

Do you really want to exercise? I ask this because I'm married, two older kids, work full time and have an hour commute each way to work and by the time I get home, make dinner and clean up I have no desire what so ever to exercise. It's not so much guilt as it is lack of motivation. I just don't seem to have the drive…

If by fasting you mean you are trying the 5:2 approach then I would suggest searching this on the forum, there are lots of great threads on this. When I do a 500-600 day I break it into two meals, lunch and diner. For lunch I will have soup and munch on veggies. For dinner I will have a small portion of protein and…
