My boyfriend still tells me I am beautiful but will make comments about how hot I was when I was lighter. I was never skinny, but I felt good about myself. He is supportive about me losing weight because over the past couple years I have lost a lot of confidence and we are both hoping that will come back. He has listened…

I would look at the similarities between the WW and south beach. What all diets have in common is that you are creating a calorie deficit, so if you are doing that you should lose weight. I felt like I knew a lot about food, I was eating all the right stuff but wasn't losing weight. Then I got a food scale and it all came…

I want to lose 40 for christmas!

In the last couple months I have purchased quite a few new things, HRM, food scale, five finger shoes, lets just say i love buying thigns for a good cause. Haha

they are high, my heart rate monitor usually shows I burn about 2/3 of what they say.

soup! The BBC did a documentary called How to be Slim or somethign like that and they found that soup kept you fuller longer compared to the same amount of food and water eaten speperaely. Progresso makes some good, light chicken noodle!

food scale! it makes eveything so much easier and almost no clean up. I really love my blender cup from GNC as well.

what veggies are you eating?

It depends on how much you have been going over and on what. Shoot for low GI foods like melon and blueberries. If it is not hindering your weight loss then there isn't much to worry about. Enjoy it while it is in season!

it is all about life change vs. a diet. make changes you can suport for the rest of your life.

they can be a bit expensive but have you though about a food saver. We use them to package smoked salmon and extra veggies to eat during the winter. it is a worthy investment if you have enough uses for it.

the vinegar needs to be unfiltered, not the cheap stuff.

I did this for a while as well, i also tried drinking aloe vera juice. Never got an results but I was not dieting at the time.

I eat mine back when I am hungry. Most people say as along as you have a 1200 calorie net intake and you are not hungry. It also depends on how you are measuring your calories. HRMs are going to be the most accurate, machines and the database here tend to over estimate so you might be eating back to much! It also depends…

I log through my lunch the next day the night before. I do this becasue I make my meals the night before and I save time by having a plan. This way I can also look at the first half of the day and see what I need more of or need to cut back on. If something unplanned comes up then i just adjust as needed. If you log stuff…

shakes and bars are usefull becasue they take the guess work out of things. A lot of people swear by them but it still comes down to calories!

This is funny because pineapple and broccoli have such strong flavors, I am not a huge fan of either. I would start with just a simple salad, something easy like iceberg, it is pretty much water anyways and go from there. If you go into it with an open mind you might surprise yourself.

i have wondered this many a time. I use a scale but i am guessing they do not weigh the same as well. I might have to do an experiement and see how they compare useing a single cup.

I watched it this weekend and I have started by replacing breakfast and sometimes dinner. My main concern is the extreme lack of protein! when it comes down to it why not give it a try, it won't hurt you and I bet it will help cut any cravings you might have.

if you have a netflix account there are some streaming and plenty you can have delivered. it is a good wayo to test them out and see what you like

if you don't recogonize whats in it it is processed. You mostly have to think about where it came from, if you can grow it or farm it is good for you. You do have to be careful around things like yogurt, alot of them have all sorts of nasty stuff in them, it is best to pick something without flavorings and extra stuff,…

He has a website and I think you can watch the video from there as well. If you can do it for 10 days it migh be just the thing to bust through those cravings.

The best thing to stop binging is to not bring the stuff in the house! I don't know if you are into juicing at all but there is a thing called a juice fast where you replace all your meals with fruit/ veggie juice for 10 or more days. There is an amazing movie on netflix called Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead that talks about…

Has your doctor talked to your about Metformin? I took Phentermine last summer and it basically made me not eat at all. Lost ten pounds but I couldn't in good health not eat, so I started to force myself to eat and eventually I didn't feel the effects anymore. I had a friend who took it around the same time as me and she…

i think adding protein powder is a great idea, that was my main concern too. I just watched the movie as well and have started by replacing breakfast.

here is a website i have been using for ideas http://www.fernsnutrition.com/juicer_recipes.htm my favorite one I made up is green grapes, kiwi, and kale/spinish

I know what you mean, i ate so good today at work, but can home and went crazy, had a turkey hot dog, beans and cheese, and some marshmallows. I am about to work out to make up for it but i still felt terrible I ate so much over, this happens every night...

I highly doubt you gained two pounds of fat, so don't stress over it. Maybe you should try eating a bit more and cutting dairy does wonders for people! reguardless, you are doing great and keep it up!

get your hair done? something to celebrate a new you

I am addicted to food to! I would punish my self by eating and make myself feel just as gross as i though i looked. I am not a mom but i do work full time and go to school full time. It can be very difficult to do it all. The most benifical thing for me is planning and scheduling. I plan out my meals, cook them, and log…
