MOVE TO HOUSTON!

I think a more fun game would be: "Let's try to super-accurately hit our daily calorie goals for the next 12 weeks"! I'd totally play that with you.

Any week you loose weight is a victory.

I try limiting my coffee to only about two or three pots per day. ;)

Flaminica - I love you! @ggillen412 - Listen to this wise woman! Totally agree. I live on Mio style drinks. They helped me stop drinking sugary drinks with hundreds of calories. Are artificial sweeteners bad for you? Maybe - but not as bad as the horrible full calorie drinks they replace. I'm not one to tell them to stop…

Forever. Sugar is delicious. So is alcohol, nicotine and cocaine. I love all of them. I had to stop using them so I wouldn't die so soon. Whenever I drive by a donut shoppe I imagine the sign "Donuts" replaced with "Meth". Really. It helps prevent the driveby snacking. Keep in mind I lack any willpower whatsoever. Took me…

Dude! Please, just eat whatever you want at first. Eat the crap you've always eaten for a while - but log accurately. Like super accurately. This is the initial power of MyFitnessPal. The shock you get - not only on the amount of calories in food but the total amount of calories you consume per day - will provide your…

Thanks for opening your diary - it really helps. Thyroid will create some affect here but thyroid does not make calories appear out of thin air. Please do a search for "thyroid" and see the many fine articles written on this forum in regard to thyroid. I'm pretty sure that, like me, you're not accurately tracking your…

When in doubt - cut the carbs.

I like them all. Right now I'm enjoying the kool-aid brand grape ones. Brings back memories

YES THIS!!! deneenae speaks the truth So what do we do about it? Here's what I do (did) 1) Drink something first I love those zero cal MIO brand water enhancers. I make myself drink a HUGE (like one quart) of water first. STILL CRAVING? 2) Is your craving real hunger or just sugar addiction crying out? I ask myself -…

I recognized over a year ago that I was highly addicted to simple carbs/sugars. It's been a rough battle but I got myself unhooked from them.

Montrose, in Houston.

LOL! How do people even find this old post of mine? Well, I've long since finished C25K and have run four 5Ks since them. I can't recommend this program enough.

Holy smoke people! I understand why these ads show up. I used to order pizza hut pizza. I just found it funny and why I put it in "Chit-Chat, Fun, and Games" I haven't ordered one in ages. My diary is public and extremely accurate. So just laugh with me and let's go for a run.

Adblock - Engaged!

Here's what I wish someone had told me when I started. 1) Screw dieting, screw "lifestyle change". Right now the only thing you have to do is LOG ALL YOUR FOOD as ACCURATELY as possible. Eat what you want/need. Just log everything. You will be shocked how much you are eating at first. That's OK. Just LOG LOG LOG. You need…

One of the Whole Foods here in Houston has a wine/beer bar. I love it.

I've beat a lot of addictions in my life. For me a craving for bad food is like a craving for a cigarette or a drink. For me, craving is my addiction screaming at me, not hunger. I certainly don't have anything addictive in my home. If I crave, say, a pizza I keep a stock of instant gratification foods that work for me:…

Thank you for opening your food diary. Folks will really be able to help you. Forget the damn scale. Think in terms of "I'm in food retraining" not "I'm dieting". All diets fail. This ain't a diet. The hardest part of all this isn't losing weight. It is the slow, painful food lifestyle reprogramming process we all must go…
-
I fail all the time! Learning to eat the right way is a massive series of failures followed by only occasional victories. JUST LOG EVERYTHING AND LOG THEM ACCURATELY! I can't tell you how many 4600 calories days I've had in the last three months (I've lost 25 pounds in that time). But I tell you, logging everything…
-
@corinne0805 - I have no idea.
-
LOG EVERYTHING YOU EAT AND LOG IT ACCURATELY. I'll bet a ten dollar bill that if I hung out next to you 24/7 for a week you'd discover you're eating a lot more than you think, especially on days where you say you don't eat anything till 4. Been there. Done that. Bought the XXL tshirt. Anyhoo, Keep emergency food that's…

If she likes you, friendly. But don't cross her.

Ease into 5k

Noooooooooooooooo!

Shrimp. Scallops. Shrimp and Scallops. Did I mention I love shrimp?

Because Im too young to be taking these huge blood pressure pills.

Just log it. @kjarvo -

Damn the both of you "Looooog it, Loooog it Grab yourself a pie and hog it drink a leaded pepsi drink another sprite it doesn't matter who's wrong or right..." I suck at lyrics but now it's stuck.
