Sorry you're having trouble finding it. It's www dot winning the war on fat dot blogspot dot com I hope that helps???

Thank you so much everyone. I think I am going to go see the DR. I have had problems with my thyroid on and off since I was a teenager, so that could be part of it. I really, REALLY appreciate it!!!

I really like to look at my average for the week. It helps me to see the bigger picture of my week, overall. I wouldn't try to have a defecit on purpose, though, but your body probably does not need as much food because of the excess yesterday.

That is so awesome!!! I am really looking forward to that day...

Thank you so much, everyone! I really appreciate the help. I'm not sure how I missed the store finder on their website. I'll have to go back and look. You guys/gals are the best! Love this site!!!

I would bet that it will make a big difference. The combination of the sodium it contains, plus the diarhetic effect of the caffeine, makes for a combination that makes you drink more soda (an accident on the part of the soda companies? I think not.) and leaves you dehydrated. The aspartame also makes me hungry. Very…

Nice job! I'm hoping to be in this same boat by the end of the year!! AWESOME JOB!

I recently learned that moderate exercise increases appetite, while intense exercise decreases appetite. Also, I find, for me anyway, artificial sweeteners like aspartame and such actually make me MORE hungry. Like, ravenously hungry! Maybe that could be part of it. I also agree on the protein and fiber, lots of fruits and…

I agree, that I wouldn't worry about it at all if it's from fruit mostly. Those are healthy sugars! If it's not from fruit, I would guess it's from processed foods and 'diet' or 'low fat' foods. The manufacturers add sugar to replace the fat they took away from those 'diet' foods, and it ends up hurting you in the end. Try…

Baked tortilla chips with salsa; Hummis is always a good choice and you can dip the veggies in it or crackers/pita chips/tortilla chips; Sugar free jello w/ light cool whip; You can make popcorn and then melt some white chocolate chips and pour over the popcorn. It coats the popcorn lightly and is absolutely delicious!…

Wow, you're so small already! I would say to not stress over it too much, just eat lots of veggies and fruit and drink lots of water so it's easier to not go overboard on the unhealthy stuff. I hope you have a fabulous time!! You certainly deserve it!!!

You're looking fabulous! Keep up the great work!!!

I agree with kay43026. Tons of sugar and most of the nutrients are lost in processing and pasturization. Maybe if you use a little for smoothies, other than that I'd stay away from juice all together.

You poor thing! Life can be crazy and hectic sometimes. Did you know that working out for 10 min 3 times a day is just as beneficial to your health as one 30 min session is. When I used to work, I took both of my breaks and my lunch and went for a walk. I kept my walking shoes under my desk, and when it was time for my…

Skip the candy bar and get some high quality dark chocolate.....and eat some! Just count it in your calories and don't go overboard. The worst part is that you want it because you're stressed out. Drink a big glass of water first and have something healthy to eat first, then you won't be starving and gorge on chocolate. I…

I am mom to 5 beautiful kids, ages 1,2,3,4,&8. As you can imagine, I am VERY BUSY!!!! Mine are all adopted, though, so I don't even have the pregnancy excuse!!! I would love to join you on this journey. I have 150+ pounds to lose.

I have more than 100 pounds to lose, but I'd love to join your support team. This is such a great tool! I am really loving all the motivation from others, We can buoy each other up!!! WE CAN DO IT!!!!

All I can say, is that I hope and pray I have your connundrum some day! I wouldn't think you need to eat your workout calories, but I am certainly no expert! Keep up the good work!!

I have to third the scale, second the immersion blender, and although I haven't used it in a while-my George Foreman grill is fabulous. Anything to help you stay away from fast food is the best. My oven for roasting vegetables and my frying pan for making skillet meals and cooking eggs are what I use the most, though!

Can you contact your Dr's office to find out what your last weigh-in was there? I say, if you really feel like you were about 320, then leave it. You probably have lost that much, just not in one week.

Thanks for all the suggestions and help! I really appreciate it!! I have really been wanting to get a wii fit anyway, so maybe that would be a good option.....although, weighing in the family room in front of my kids wouldn't be ideal....hmmmm. I'll have to give it some thought. I would love to have one that told body…

LOL! Thanks debruhf. I need a laugh and a smile today. I would pay big bucks for one that would do that every time. :~)

Oh wow! That looks DELISSHSHSHSHSHSH!!!! I love Nutella. MMmmmmmmm. I might try it with a bit of light cream cheese, too.

Thank you so much! Jeannie- WOW! 174lbs!! That gives me hope!! Thank you for posting and giving me inspiration! Awabanana- You are so right! I HAVE THE POWER!! Good luck in your adoption dreams. I wish you all the best. It's the best decision I ever made. My kids light up my life! I so appreciate your support. :~)
