I switched from white russians to wine and saved a few hundred calories per drink!

I love this! I've had my misfit shine since December, and I have it synced with mfp and runkeeper (for my walks). I love how they all work together! It's helped me get serious again about getting fit, and I've gone down a pants size since I started using them!!! After a couple months my sister got one. Last month my mom,…

Are you drinking enough water? I find my period weight gain and other symptoms are MUCH worse when I don't get some extra water in.

I fight binges too! I've been on here for a few months now, and tracking it REALLY helps! I still have bad days now and then! I am doing better about WHAT I choose to eat on a binge now! Instead of a huge candy bar or a couple pieces of cake, I am having a cup or so of fruit. Or a few skinny cow pieces of chocolate.…

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!! TOOOOOOO funny!!! I like to eat my 'leftover' calories. Sometimes I have junk, sometimes I have a ton of healthy stuff. Depends on my mood!

Oh I just added 'curves circuit training', for 30 mins, since that's what they want you to do, and it says 204 calories. So it burns twice as much as walking one mile in 20 mins, but about 179 calories less than half an hour on your treadmill. Oh, and curves will NOT let you out of your 12 month contract, so be SURE you…

I was a member of curves about 5 years ago. It helped me lose 50 lbs! There are several machines in a circle, and you use each one for (if I remember right) 30 seconds, or maybe one minute. Sometimes they throw little games in there. I ended up transferring to a ladies workout express, which I liked better. More variety. I…

I smoked for about 16 years, and have about 60 lbs to lose. I quit smoking in April, in fact, today makes 5 months! I used the patch. It bothered my skin so I put it in a different spot every day. And took it off at bedtime so I didn't have wacko dreams. Once I was good and quit I got really serious about the weight loss!…

Me too. They're great in a hurry, but it's not real food. I never have my hunger satisfied by them. They aren't any more filling than that many ounces of water are. But it's much better for you than whatever you could grab at the drive through!

This^^^^^^^

I agree with the others! Keep at it, and you'll get there! When I first tried my stability ball dvd, I could only get about halfway through the 10 sessions! That was a couple months ago. Now I can through at least one 10 min session, plus do 30-40 mins of cardio on the ski machine (had to push to do 5 mins at first) and…

My husband loves his resistance bands. You can probably youtube or google some stuff to do with them. I LOVE my stability ball, but it does take up a little bit of room, and with little ones, they'd probably want to throw it around and break stuff. Craigslist and yard sales should be a good place to look.

I buy the skinny cow chocolates. They taste a little different, but after a bit they are much better than the other higher sugar chocolates! The come with 3 chocs in a pack, total 130 calories. Most days days I just have one, but even if I have all 3, it's nothing a 20 min or so walk won't take care of!

I have to wear old navy sweethearts too! My butt is HUGE compared to my waist! I loved the dreamers, but they stopped making them!

GREAT WORK!!! I don't know if someone else has asked this. I'm curious, it looks like you started wearing make-up after you lost the weight, why?

Very well said!!!

I had to switch the kinds of foods I was eating a bit to feel like I was having enough to eat. I found adding a lot more fruit and veggies REALLY helped. Things like macaroni and cheese aren't very filling and have a LOT of calories, so i don't make that as often as I used to. Exercising helped too, because then I need to…

One slice of papa johns with chicken and a couple veggies is 210 cals each, so call this 2k, be glad you enjoyed it, and do some extra tomorrow! If I had a pizza that looked like that, I'd eat the whole darn thing too!!!!!!! Looks amazing!!

I drink one when I don't have time for real food. It tides me over for a couple hours, and keeps me from binging when I do have time to eat.

Sounds like this nutritionist isn't qualified to be your weight loss guide. She should be able to cater it to meet your medical needs. I hope you aren't paying much!

I'm sorry there is so much terrible stuff going on in your life. I know the feeling! It sounds like your eating is about the only think you CAN control right now. As hard as it is, I bet you'll feel better if you DO control it. Letting it spiral out will probably make you feel worse.

I log my vitamins, or I forget to take them! I also log using the riding mower, which someone thought was stranger than sperm logging? (ROFL!). I have a HUGE yard to mow and I live in central Florida, so I sweat my *kitten* off while I'm 'sitting' on that thing. Plus getting on and off every row or so to dump the…

Yep. I got tired of looking at that high sugar from fruit box too. Now I look at fiber and iron, things I actually need to pay attention too. My iron is ALWAYS low when I get blood work. I quit looking at sodium when I stopped eating side dishes that come out of boxes. By doing this I learned I get a bit too much fiber.

I'll give that a shot, thanks!

If my kids didn't eat it, they went hungry. Period. No snacks if they didn't at least take 3 small bites of whatever was for dinner. They skipped a meal or two, but they did not die of starvation. (I also never made them 'clean their plates', if a person is full they should not force themselves to eat more because kids…

I came to this so excited, I've also been looking for a way to lower my coffee calories without losing the yum factor! Right now I'm at 155 calories per 16oz cup! I thought about cutting down on the creamer, but decided I really need my coffee to be awesome! But if there's something that tastes great and is better for me,…

I quit this way too. Four months ago to the day! I had to take the patch off at night, or I had crazy stupid realistic dreams. Also had to find the spots my skin could tolerate it and put it in a different place every day. Yes, it's expensive. But not near as expensive as a life time of smoking! Good luck!!!! This is my…

The gazelle says I burn about 600 calories is 35 minutes. I am sure it's over-estimating, even though I am putting everything I have into it. I make sure to use it 5 times a week. Even though the calorie counter has to be wrong, I'm sure it's burning more than the 10 minute stability ball, the 20 mins of yoga for weight…

whipped vodka with milk or heavy cream. Love to add some irish cream or Kahlua to it. Looking for something with less calories in it now!
