I used to love drinking soda, but it ruined my kidneys. Any time I drink one now I almost instantly get a UTI until I flush it out. I haven't touched a soda in months. I'm talking 4+ months, and I've been UTI free now ever since. It was the best choice I ever made. If I need that carbonation now, I drink naturally flavored…

My Favorite: 1 Banana 2 Tbsp PB2 Powder 1/2 cup light and fit vanilla yogurt 1/2 cup vanilla almond milk 1 tbsp hersheys special dark powder Ice Makes two servings, very yummy!

I can't believe that I ate an entire box of Velveeta shells and cheese with a can of chili mixed in. The. Entire. Bowl.

It used to be eating. That's why I got where I was. Now? I just log on to my PC or game console and game it out for a bit.

Here's what I did! :) 10lbs - bought myself a new HRM 20lbs new shoes 40lbs - Manicure 50lbs - new purse My next one: 65lbs - Haircut / color and new clothes

LMFAO. Nice troll post there. I'd lose him, and then lose the weight and hope he saw me somewhere looking stunning. :)

First of all, I just wanted you to know that when I first started my diet I skipped two periods in a row. I went to the doctor, and I was fine - she just said that going from nothing to starting a strict diet and exercising a lot can cause that to happen. It came back the third month, once my body got in the routine. You…

britty has gorgeous eyes!

CONGRATS! I recently passed that mark a week ago, and I was SO excited. Grats to you!

I used to weigh myself every day but it started to get depressing. I start obsessing over every little ounce that fluctuates from day to day. I'm not sure if it's the same for men, since they don't have the added hormonal stuff going on, but I'll never do it again. I weigh in once a week, except for when I'm on my monthly…

Those are great idea's that I might try next time I make this too! :) Thanks!

I bought an 11oz bag, and only ended up using maybe 2/3 of a bag. You can use more or less Doritos. The recipe called for an entire bag, but I cut it down. :)

Why? Because it's delicious! Is the sodium content a bit high? Maybe. Is it going to kill your diet? No. Not everyone needs to watch their sodium levels, either. I actually do - because I have kidney stones that are made up of it. As long as I and under my goal for the day, I don't worry about it. And speaking of which, I…

This is SO TRUE. Drinking more water has helped me shed the pounds. Before I started doing this, I didn't lose weight nearly as easy. :) Drink water - lose weight! :)

I do! I added everything that I used into MyFitnessPal on the Recipe section, and it came out to the following: (For SIX servings) One serving:Calories: 402 Carbs: 35 Fats: 18 Sodium: 1031 Sugar: 12 Protein: 27

I'm not understanding what the issue is with eating a cheeseburger? I take lean meat and grill it on my good ole' Foreman, slap it between a whole wheat bun (120 calories per bun), add a slice of tomato, and plop some sharp cheese I've sliced on top. Whole meal is around 330 for that burger. Big whoop? My calories always…

What in the world? You are 5"6 and 190lbs? I almost don't believe that! Hah! I'm 5"6 and 179lbs and I look much different than that all over! You look like you weigh in the 140-150 range. However, try some weight training and it should help tighten you up.

Count me in! I'm ready to kick some *kitten*. :)

You could try a small deficit of 100-200 calories and see if that helps! Make sure you are drinking as much water as possible, I swear that almost always works. If you don't like plain water, try cutting up and apple and putting 1-2 cinnamon sticks in a pitcher and let it steep overnight. It's really delicious /…

My motivation was seeing friends of mine on Facebook that I went to high school with losing weight and looking fantastic. Most all of them are mothers, too, which told me that this was completely possible! Also - when I tried on my "fat jeans" one day and I could barely zip them, I refused to go up another size and said…

For my birthday this year, I made myself a watermelon cake which wound up being better than most cakes I've ever had! I took a very ripe, sweet watermelon and cut the top and bottom off, set it up-right, carved off the rind (which didn't take long at all) and then used a tub of fat free cool whip to "frost" the watermelon.…

I had my diary open for everyone to see for quite a while, but then I closed it because I had some snarky/rude comments. Any time that I would eat under (which my daily goal is 1200) people would tell me how horrible I was being to my body, etc etc. The fact is, none of them knew how busy I was that day, none of them knew…

I've started to make my own pizzas so I can see how much sauce / cheese / etc gets added on as toppings. A friend sent me a simple whole wheat dough recipe and my entire family loves it. We don't bother with ordering pizza out anymore. :)

Hey there! First of all thank you for being so open, I know that can be difficult to do. For your height, it really sounds like you are at a good weight! I agree with the above poster that if you are still unhappy with how your body looks, have you tried toning up and working with weights? A lot of people that lose weight…

You can do it!!!! Maybe try only weighing yourself once a month, or every two weeks. Try your best not to cheat, and keep loggin' that food! Make sure you are drinkin' a lot of water too. I have to ask though, at what point or at what weight does the "last 10 lbs" start to be slow for people? If some people want to loose…

Are you drinking plenty of water every day and moving around and getting exercise? I'm guessing yes to the exercise with the calories you are burning. After 40 days you should have lost something by now. I know people preach the whole "Starvation mode" thing, but I've been eating under my calorie goal for three months and…

Exactly this. I made a watermelon cake for my birthday this year, instead of a chocolate one. It used a full watermelon and a tub of fat free cool whip, covered in random berries. I ate SO much of it, and I still lost weight for the week. But I went to the bathroom a lot :)

I bought a digital food scale at Wal-Mart for $16 and it's one of the best investments I made for my diet, i love it!

Your weight is going to fluctuate every day regardless. Sure, overdoing sodium doesn't help, but it's just one factor. Hormone levels in women, eating carbohydrates, not drinking enough water, and weighing yourself after you've already eaten breakfast in the morning could add extra weight to the scale. If you eat foods…

This. Avocado's are a super food and the fat in them is great for your body - you just have to be mindful how much of it you eat. You can buy 100 calorie guacamole packs at the super market, and when my food diary count allows I use them on a lean burger for added flavor. :)
