  • You might actually have a low sodium content in your body. Sometimes drinking too much water can be as bad as drinking too little. Both of which can offset your electrolytes. Maybe the salt is not being obsorbed because of all the water in take? Salt follows water. What are you eating? Are you on a diuretic? There could be…

  • I'm a hybrid....half and half. I would prefer not to eat meat, but sometimes I'm in the mood. I HAVE tho, taken red meat out of the pic altogether.
  • Foods I don't eat anymore or eat in moderation: No alcohol No soda Moderation: coffee Moderation: bread :sad: Moderation: sweets :sad: :sad: No red meat (no regrets) No chips No fried foods No starchy veggies (corn, potatoes, cauliflower..)

  • Hey, just curious....I just bought one of those small seendless watermelons...chopped it up and have it in my frig' chillin'. Are these like generic watermelons or something? A genetic alteration or something....the watermelons I'm used to are huge, lighter green in color (on the outside) and with seeds....These new ones…
  • Oh wow....that sounds really good!
  • LOL....I wish it worked like that....Too funny. Love it.:laugh:
  • :smokin: LOL. How many calories do you think a small Sushi Philadelphia roll is?? Ya know the little....rolls...immatation crab meat, cream cheese, wrapped in rice....I read somewhere that one little roll is 380 cals!? WHAT??? They aren't even an inch in diameter! Lol...I just got turned onto them...and snacked on about 5…

  • You're right Banks. Great advice. I agree. :flowerforyou:
  • I'm not sure if I brought this up, but my dietician told me to include protein in every meal. And it doesn't have to include meat. It sustains your fullness feeling longer. :smokin:

  • Hey thanks everyone for the posts....Did you read my mind?? Ha ha.....Gonna keep in mind that I STILL have to eat in moderation. Thanks. I weighed in and I'm down 33 pounds....33 left to go!! :drinker: As for the first couple of weeks..I agree...It was hard to give up my comfort foods. I thought I was going to loose my…
  • Ah yes....chain letters...or e-mails...I HATE those too...:mad:

  • ~Slow people in the FAST lane. ~Impatient people (is that like the opposite of the 1st one? What an oxymoron--> me). ~People that tempt you into eating bad foods when they know you're on a diet, but they ask you anyway....and they too are on a diet. It's like it makes it better for them if you cheat too. There is a girl…

  • Is it possible that I have kick started my metabolism by changing my eating and exercising habits? Because the weight is flying off now...it's very odd, but I'm not complaining. :laugh: My mom said when she changed her eating habits....the same thing happened to her. They weight flew off. It was slow at first, but…
  • Isn't that funny. I'm doing the same thing. This year it's fruit....next year, it'll be tomatoes.... Good idea! Yes, EVERY little but counts!:drinker:
  • I might be doing this soon too. :indifferent:
  • Adorable!

  • OMGosh! I've never heard of such a thing! That's nuts! :noway:
  • OMGosh...people do this all the time and the people who know I'm dieting....ask me or tell me to take one...I don't. It's VERY hard to resist. Just get away from it if you can. I've gone as far as threatening to move the sweet item to another room rather than where I'm sitting. Most people won't mind if you do this. There…
  • A serving size is about 3 oz. Add 1 serving of protein to each meal and it will prolong your hunger. I saw my dietician (sp) 2 days ago and she told me this. It's working. I typically like to have eggs from breakfast, so I questioned her about the cholesterol content in eggs. She agreed that EGGBEATERS are an alternative…
  • I'm glad you posted this. I have the same problem.:sick:
  • Thanks everyone! It feels great! :happy:
    in 26 pounds! Comment by jaxkipi April 2008
  • I went to my doctor today and was shocked when I got on the scale! I've lost 26 pounds since Feb! Woot! :drinker: :smokin: :bigsmile: :happy:
    in 26 pounds! Comment by jaxkipi April 2008
  • Thanks! Yeah...I use gum too to help with the cravings.
  • I do that from time to time. I say only one day of poor eating and little to no exercise...and then one day becomes 2 and so on. I didn't gain much either, thank goodness. But if you do, you'll work harder not to slip again...I imagine. What I do when I start to feel out of control....I remember why I started this new…
  • I go see my dietician tomorrow for a check up and weigh in. I'm worried because, altho, I've lost weight, I'm not eating the greatest. I really don't have any excuses.....other than my job has been busier lately....and so the more I try to excuse why I haven't been eating so healthy....sounds worse and worse. Anyway.... I…
