  • I understand junk food addiction and emotional eating very well. Using the tracker helps tremendously. I can honestly say that getting off of the empty calories is hard work, it takes determination to make it through the craves. It can be done, it just depends on how bad you want it. I have quit smoking, so the food…
  • Cigarettes! I don't drink, I eat healthy, and take good care of myself, but I have this horrible addiction!!! I'm just not ready to quit. :(
  • I think it's normal. How much liquid do you urinate? IIs it dark or almost clear? If it's a good amount and it's almost clear, then it sounds normal to me. Also, you may have a little bit of a weak bladder, common in women as they age, if your urine smells "sweet" then you can do a home diabetes test before spending all…
  • Losing is a lifestyle change. I don't use or do anything that I don't plan on doing for the rest of my life. Dietary supplements are a racket really. Usually I deal with motivation, not energy, when it comes to working out. Oddly enough, I do get more energetic when I stay on a regular exercise schedule, and I turn into a…
  • During my first 4 months on MFP I only ate 800 calories a day. I was very careful not to go over. After awhile I went to 1000. This is well below the recommended amount MFP suggested, but I didn't care, I got a disclaimer everyday to tell me to eat more. Anyway, some people say that a person will go into "starvation mode"…
  • I'm the same way. I have lost 50lbs. I got a cold last week and really lost my appetite. I lost 1.5lbs that I can't afford to lose. I'm 122 tonight, but when I weigh in, in the morning, I'm just under 120 or so. I just don't think about food much anymore, not like I used to, my body doesn't require nearly as much either.…
  • You can fit the calories for a goodies into your diet. When I was overweight I avoided sweets or felt incredibily guilty. My weight gain was mostly from breads, pasta, etc and large portions. I thought as long as I didn't have "cake" then I wasn't making things worse. What ridiculous thinking! I was eating enough for three…
  • They know everyone does it, besides, you got to enjoy your movie with no hunger, (or munchies) and no guilt! Good for you!
  • Excellent! What an inspiration! You GO girl!!
  • I'll be your friend! I've lost 50lbs.
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper, 1/2 cup red "bell" pepper, 2 small red potatoes, 1/4 cup white onion, use olive oil spray in skillet, dice veggies up small, and stir fry (add small amounts of water water as you cook because the potato will stick). After potatoes are soft and veggies tender add two eggs (or egg whites), and mix…
  • I feel horrible in the middle of my TOM. I'm 46 so I spot before it even starts. Then I bloat about 5 lbs. I have two days in the middle when my body acts like it wants everything to come out at once! I can't work out those days. I won't. I indulge myself with relaxation and as much rest as I can get. I crave chocolate (…
