The caffeine, the creamer, the coffee, even the habit of drinking coffee are all different things. When I gave up pop I purposely took an OTC headache tablet with caffeine. This let me get off the habit of drinking pop and the desire for the sugar without dealing with the headache. It was pretty easy to then give up the…

Chocolate is my favorite so there was a day I would do totally the same. I also get the snack attack in the evening so I plan for it. You just got started! You'll figure it out! It's a learning process. For me, seeing those out-of-control moments, or less than great choices, in numbers in my diary was really helpful. If I…

You can definitely learn to cook and you will love the food way more than McDonalds! One of my go-to's that is better and no more expensive than fast food is a rotisserie chicken from a grocery store. My husband and I get two meals out of a chicken. Throw a potato (less calories than fries) or sweet potato in a microwave,…

Welcome! We are the same age. I've been here for a year and have lost 1/3 of my goal. Feel free to add me.

Welcome! I too started and stopped many times in my life. This has stuck and worked for a year. Just start. Start logging everything.

OP - You've inspired me! You are eating the Christmas day foods with portion control and moderation in mind! If you want to indulge, you certainly can, as many said they will. If you are happy with your choices, you'll have a happy day! If your choices make you miserable, then it would be sad. A happy day does not have to…

Is it possible she is just doing what she's always done and that previously you would have been thankful for and indulged in those treats? I know that's what happened with my DH when I started. He was just being the same sweet guy, doing the same sweet things. I'm the one who changed what I wanted and had to communicate…

I've had plantar fasicitis in the past. If you haven't, go to a foot doctor. I had some cortisone shots that helped a lot. (They sound awful to get, but they're not that bad.) I haven't had any problems or needed to see my doctor for a couple of years now. There are also some foot stretching exercises that can help stretch…

Did you bother to look at her diary or ticker before you claimed she is being unfair (I believe you originally said 'mean') to her husband and son and said she was making excuses? She has no pizza logged...she didn't eat it. She has logged faithfully since Oct. 11 and lost 9 pounds. Sounds like she's doing it just right. I…

As others have said, you must be 18 according to site rules. It is likely that you will be flagged and have your account suspended. Please don't take it personally. Sometimes the discussions here are simply not suitable for minors and the advice is different for growing teen bodies than it is for full grown adults. There…

I teach and I put a dollar bill on each earring and go as a bucc-an-eer. Easiest costume ever. Great fun listening to people guess.

My favorite homemade vinaigrette. A lot of flavor, super simple to make. I didn't have lemon so I used lime and that worked great. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/no-salt-vinaigrette/

This is the spice mix I use for shrimp tacos: 1 TBS paprika 1 tsp each ground cumin, garlic powder, dried thyme, dried oregano 1/2 tsp each salt, red pepper Cook in a little olive oil. Put on a tortilla with cabbage, red onion, cilantro, squeeze of lime. Adjust spices to taste. I also do pork tacos using a lean pork loin,…

Same with the chicken with salsa as above. Use it in chicken tacos one night, and then roll in corn tortillas, top with enchilada sauce and cheese and heat in the oven the second night. Use it on salads for lunch. Also lasagne with this recipe: http://www.weightwatchers.com/food/rcp/RecipePage.aspx?recipeid=135321 Pork…

I have my goal set for 2 lbs a week, but I've also set it for 1 lb and maintenance to see what those numbers are. So I work within that range. If I go over to the 1 lb a week goal - no big deal. And even up to maintenance for a day or so - not a big deal - I just don't expect a loss that week. It gives me a range to work…

Can't....stop....laughing! Thanks for a great start to a Friday!

Regardless of what the scale says, it sounds like you've been making better choices for yourself. You have a two week victory regardless of what the scale says. Realize now that sometimes the scale is not your friend. Sometimes you may want to take a sledge hammer to it. But it is not the whole story. Take your…

Are they really picky, or are they used to whining until they get what they want? Tastes can change. I used to hate pretty much all veggies and had to force myself to eat them. Now, I enjoy most of them. I was also a sugar addict - pop and anything super sugary. Now pop (soda) and many store-bought sugary treats - like…

Welcome to the world of Common Core learning standards. What students are expected to achieve at all levels has been raised significantly. Students are not going to meet these new goals without a significant amount of effort. This may well be why you are seeing the amount of work you are.

Portobello pizza. Use a portobello mushroom cap as the "crust". Heat it in the oven for a bit and top with sauce, veggies and cheese. Put under the broiler to finish off.

My fav homemade pizza is veggie pizza done on the grill. It is dough based, though. We grill up green peppers, onion, mushrooms, and tomatoes and then chop them up. We use refrigerated dough. Divide into individual servings and flatten out. Toss on a well oiled grill until one side is done. Flip and do the other side a…

In another post, you said your doctor believes you are under weight. You need to listen to your doctor.

I'll eat dill pickles or have some Altoids mints when I can't get a grip on cravings. Only a few calories, but both are really strong flavors and I usually don't crave the taste of something else following them. The pickles help settle the cravings for salty and the mints for something sweet.

Milk ... even though I very, very seldom drink milk, it would impact all dairy products... cheese! ice cream! Right?

Sometimes there is a slight delay before it shows up on the app. Give it a few minutes or try closing and opening the app or logging out and back in to the app.

They cook just like zucchini. Good on the grill. Or make "zucchini fries" but with the yellow squash. Here's a recipe: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/01/baked-zucchini-sticks-13-pts.html?m=1

This^^^ Then --Chicken breast with a potato, veggies, salad...whatever Shred the rest and then make --Chicken tacos - top with traditional lettuce, tomato, cheese, sour cream; or for a twist top with sour cream, cilantro, tomato and a squeeze of lime; or with come cooked green peppers and onions like fajitas (add some…
