ROTFL! I think I started laughing by Wednesday!

5 weeks from that day. That number can change everyday depending on your diet and exercise completed for that day. That number can go up or down and isn't set in stone. It's only an approximation.

Are you keeping your sodium intake low? It depends on what foods you are consuming. Try to avoid empty calories by eating avoidance of processed foods. Try to cook your own meals and consume plenty of green veggies which also may include fiber, and eat fruits which are lower in sugar such as strawberries, blueberries,…

It doesn't appear that you're eating enough calories either. You're putting your body into starvation mode and you're only craving sweets. Try to aim for at least 1200 calories per day and add more veggies and protein to your diet. If you like chocolate, the Emerald Cocoa Roasted Almonds are an excellent source of protein,…

Try snacking on protein to keep you satisfied longer.

I try to stress to people as well that it's all in the sodium as well as calories, etc. The SODIUM is the silent culprit, which people just don't pay attention to. I try to maintain 1500mg per day as well. Some days I may go over a little but it's always under the recommended daily limit (not even trying to do the allotted…

Looks nice and moist. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing! I will be making this!

Outstanding! You look years younger as well!

i agree with you 100% Sandra! It makes a huge difference on the taste buds once you refrain from eating so much sodium! It is absolutely absurd the way the restaurants use so much sodium to cover up the true taste of foods. I have found that most things taste either too salty or sugary to me as well. It was a learning…

Very powerful and that is EXACTLY how my mom died and she was only 58yrs old. Thank you for sharing!

That is an awesome testimony Janice! Outstanding! You've done a magnificent job, and now you can spread your good fortune to others!**standing ovation**

Awesome job! Good for you and keep up the great work! Congrats on your 20lbs loss thus far!

That's awesome Sandra! Good for you!

You've done an awesome job Dot! Keep it up!

I look at it this way. If you want to eat something that you don't normally have in your day to day diet, just put it in your diary for your day and still stay within guidelines for all of your numbers. You can still have what you want, just look at the portion size and know in advance what else you plan on eating for that…

I love the Chocolite Protein Bars which I order from dietdirect.com. They have lots of protein and fiber and low on carbs. They taste great and I don't usually like protein bars.

Thanks for posting Nile! I guess that's why I love resistance bands. ~smlie

I've had it steamed. I liked it!

It doesn't matter which exercise program you're going with, because 90% of your weight loss comes from your diet. The types of foods that you eat and how much of it you're eating in one sitting can either help you or hinder your weight loss efforts...regardless of the intensity of your exercise. Exercise only accounts for…

Each separately. You can also go to youtube and type in how to take body measurements for whatever you're looking for and you can get a visual.

I eat small meals including snacks every 2-3 hrs not to exceed 4 hrs in between. This works for me, and I say to each his own. What works from some doesn't work for all and Jillian Michaels doesn't have the last word. I say find what works for you and keep doing what you're doing. If you stall, then you can try her method.…

All of it counts. Sometimes it's better to split it up. Good job!

I use cayenne in just about everything I cook and I use cinnamon as well. I've always known about the benefits of cayenne. Thanks for posting!

Excellent post! Sodium is one of the silent culprits. I know that less sodium has been a major factor in my weight loss journey. I'm able to monitor it because I cook my own foods and keep track of every single thing I put in my mouth. I also be sure to only eat the allotted portion sizes, which a lot of people don't pay…

Every 2-3 wks for me. We tend to become a bit to obsessive with the scale. I rely mostly on the measuring tape and my clothes and of course looking in the mirror. The scale can be very deceiving and causes a lot of headache, aggravation and frustration and stress, which can also hinder weight loss. It's calming for me not…

I absolutely LOVE them!

I absolutely love them! Emerald's Cocoa Roasted almonds has 4 carbs and 2 grams of fiber in each 100 calorie pack & only 15g sodium. YUMMY! That should do it for you!
