There's a guy that works with; he has been my inspiration. We talk about our healthy choices a lot and how we're doing. We share…

I show people this pic....my profile pic (for the moment :laugh: ).....this is me at 19. I will never look like that again (I think by choice). But to look at that and see me now, I look like a completely different person. I would love to be able to wear things like this again tho.....Some day....some day......:drinker:

What have you guys done to relieve stress in your lives to make this new healthy endevour work? Personally, besides changing my eating habits, I'm learning my limits. I'm also learning that it's OKAY to admit my shortcomings. People tend to be okay with that. I'm gaining more confidence. Someone told me the other day,…

Have fun on your cruise. Eat smaller proportions and walk walk walk.....Enjoy yourself too....so that you can come back and go at this new healthy eating lifestyle full throttle! Have a great trip! :flowerforyou:

Mine is June 11th. I'll be 40 this year! :drinker: :laugh: That makes me a gemini. The LOVER. He he...I've kept to this healthy eating style for 12 days now. Woot!:bigsmile:

I have days like that too.....Sounds like a yummy combo tho.

I get so excited and show everyone this website! I love it! I have to say that this has been a life altering event. EVERYONE here has been amazing! I hope everyone has a great week! TY TY TY! :flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: Foods higher in fiber. Eat small portions about every 2 to 3 hours. Identify what is triggering you to overeat or eat the wrong foods. How you're feeling and whatnot. Measure your calorie intake here on mfp. I use this place like a bible....

:blushing: Thank you everyone for your support! I couldn't have made it this far without you! :wink:

:laugh: BUMP:laugh: You guys are hilarious! Love it! Man I wish I could only have one....Great ideas tho. Love the reward system!:drinker:

:flowerforyou: I think you're right. Cuz I couldn't help myself. I planned on it for about 2 minutes...to only eat about 2 cookies at 150 cals (for both) and then one thing led to another...and then overindulgence...:drinker: Thanks for the tip. :flowerforyou:

That's funny you said that! The pounds are flying off of me. It's absolutely amazing! Way to go!

:laugh:

Yes, I feel great. Thanks! I have so much energy! It's unreal! I get off work and I look for other things to do...and I work 12 hours in a hospital....pounding the hard floors...walking anywhere from 3-7 miles in one shift. I started walking last week on my days off. It was nice. I just hope that I can stick to it. I…

:explode: Ha ha...I was really good at work. I had ordered 6 boxes before I started the diet and the girl that sold them to me felt bad and only made me pay for 4 of them. I gave 2 away when I got them yesterday. I held 2 boxes for my husband. When I got home....:explode: BAM! I exploded....into the box of cookies...I…

:smile: :wink: :laugh: :heart: I'VE LOST 11 POUNDS since I started roughly 10 or 11 days ago! Woot! I've increased my walking and feel absolutely great! 11 POUNDS! Yay for me! :drinker: :flowerforyou:

I think you may be trimmer and your measurements may be smaller....you may have gained muscle which weighs more. Not to worry. I bet you're trimmer than you realize. Enjoy your vacation! :drinker:

Back to original article Weight loss: 6 strategies for success You probably know that hundreds of different fad diets, weight-loss programs and outright scams promise quick and easy weight loss. But the foundation of every successful weight-loss program still remains a healthy diet combined with exercise. You must make…

I like this idea, but aren't eggs high in cholesterol? I'm just curious because I'm clueless. Thanks.

Before I scroll down to see what others have written...but I eat Kashi Honey Nut or or Honey Oats...anyway...they're crunchy with round and heart shaped peices. It's really good. I recommend it.

Been there...done that....it doesn't work. You have to change your habits to make it work any length of time. As mentioned before quick fixes work quickly and then once off of it, guess what? You're right, the weight comes back...and for me, then some.:sick: I was put on a 1400-1450 cal diet based on my physical activity.…

Yeah what she said.:happy: I have been having the same problem. I was wondering. I think I should know, but it's been a bit irregular lately. Less is more like it. I just figured that since I'm eating less, then there's less. Good explanation tho. Drink water. Sounds good to me. Thanks for the explanation. :flowerforyou:

:laugh: That's too funny. Thanks for the clarification...I was wondering....:laugh:

I've lost 9 pounds in 9 days! I went to see one of my doctors today and she was so impressed by this website. She is excited for me. I have made a binder with daily motivations and funny jokes pertaining to dieting. I have the folder broken down into weeks...on the food diary, I take advantage of the notes section on my…

Tell him to eat something with fiber in it. I have a whole wheat bagel with spray butter and a cup of coffee...I'm not a small person either. 6 feet and weight 238 lbs. It fills me up until lunch. I ate that combo at 5am and then ate lunch by 11am. And it's actually healthy to eat every couple of hours. Tell him to pack…

Well.....since I've started this diet a week ago, I've lost 6 pounds... I have been pretty successful with my emotional eating. I haven't been running to food for comfort. But I can tell you, it feels like a ton of bricks when the stress comes my way....I tend to be more nervous for longer periods of time. Talking to a…

Those 100 cal snack packs. Eat them slowly to savor the taste. By the way, WELCOME! From an EX-chocoholic. :flowerforyou:

Welcome! I'm not postmenopausal, but I do get PMS....for some reason since I've started my healthy eating patterns, I haven't been craving A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G bad like I used to. It's very odd. Get this...okay...I'm about to complete my 1st week of eating like this....and tonight, at work...someone had 3 boxes of Peterbrooke…

HOLY COW! :laugh: :frown:

:frown: Okay....where's this search bar thingy you guys are talking about? Are you talking about the search for foods? I'm sooooooooo confused. :blushing:
