I experience that same awakening recently as well.. It is not the best feeling in the world, then I realized that I need to look ahead not back, and hey if you've lost 22 pounds your that much closer to your goal then you were before. I purposely try to not have to try on clothes, and I will wear them big for awhile before…

Body Building.com , or Pure Protein at Fred Meyers. I like it and it is new to the market, all natural and only things you can pronounce on the label. Which is a good sign. I liked it so much I went and bought the chocolate flavor too. 23 grams of protein per shake, pretty nice. Good luck, do buy a good one there is lots…

Hi Jeannie, I had a terrible weekend. I ate way to much and I figured out I am totally an emotional eater. I found out a good friend of mine passed away about a week ago. I guess I eat when I'm sad. Then when I eat sugar it starts all types of cravings, have you found that to be true too? I was wondering if it is just me,…

[/quote] Maxine and Kelly........do you count the sugar from fruit and milk? I do not really watch that and wonder if that is why I still have this belly, even in size 6p jeans. I find this thread extra helpful when I am this close to a hersheys kiss [/quote] no I'm only counting the refined sugar at this point. I try to…

Hi Maxine, Welcome to the " No Sugar Challenge".. I think your message may of got missed. People get talking about things on here and sometimes miss newbies. Good luck to you, I recently joined myself. Although this week my sugar intake hasn't been very good . today is a new day.. I think I may be on the 12 step program ,…

Good Lord, I am so glad I don't live at most of your houses, cakes and cheese cakes and all that sugar floating around. Wow how do you all do it? You must have some will power I must say. No one in my house really cares that much for sugar except for me. I'm the biggest sugar addict here at home. I'm afraid if it was…

Well, don't feel to badly at least you have a recovery plan. Last night some friends brought buy a dinner lasagna and a fresh homemade peach pie. I resisted as long as I could, then caved... I ate one small piece and counted the calories. But like you said today is a new day and I'm starting over. Hey have you found when…

Hi Theresa, Oatmeal for breakfast or most hot cereals are great protein source. I sometimes add half a scoop of whey protein to my oatmeal too. You don't even taste it and it adds about 10 grams. There is a few great protein powders on the market that provide 25-30 grams of protein per serving (look for those).. Good luck!…

Well that helps me a bit, thank you. Yes, I think trying to get rid of all sugar must be near impossible? It's in everything. Thank you for the replay. I will try to eliminate sweets for now! Kellygirl

I was wondering about this whole sugar free challenge myself, and I wasn't there at the beginning, so maybe someone can fill me in? The discussion is most interesting to me, since yesterday I was faced with this very challenge. I wanted to buy yougart and I though fat free would be the correct choice, being on a diet. But…

This is exactly what i need the help with. I started on this site yesterday and yesterday I ate about half of a large Hersheys with almond bar. I can't believe how weak I am when it comes to sweets. I need help, someone give me some tips suggesstions. The thing is I start craving sweets , then I eat some and it compounds…

Good luck to you! Now three stones is not something i have heard in awhile, are you from Europe? I do kind of like the sound of that.. It sounds better then 25 pounds, which sounds like so much to me. lol.. Well, best of luck to you.

Hey thanks, I've been here for 5 years myself now. I love it here and I've lived many places. I moved here from Seattle and they don't compare. I love the quantness of this city. How come my ticker isn't in my signature when I post? Let me know if you see a link? Kelly

Hey there, Thanks for posting, I'm right outside of Boise, Idaho. I've been here for 6 years now, moved from Seattle. I think Boise is one of the best places to live, I love it here and the outdoors is beyond compare. Thanks again, kelly
