  • Hi Aimee! Friend request sent! You can do this!
  • Chobani is my favorite and Voskos. Dannon Lit N Fit has artificial sweetener in it and for me that is a no.
  • I used to work as a grocery store manager and I would order what my customers request... maybe you could ask the manager (dairy manager if it's a large store) to order Fage for you.
  • Checking in from Mississippi at 5'2 1/2! I have never minded being short! :bigsmile:
  • Wow, I started out reading this thread for a good laugh and now am leaving with more information than I ever wanted about what all is in the database:sick: ... and I never got past the first page! :noway: Three words come to mind.... seriously throwed off. :huh:
  • had to climb it. Now,
  • I have not had a carbonated drink (coke zero was my vice) since Dec. 31. Part of my NYR, I also gave up artificial sweeteners as much as possible... nearly impossible to find mints and gum that isn't SF. I feel great! I drink water, coffee and unsweetened tea. Powered through the headaches the first couple of days. I don't…
  • A few years ago I lost over 80 lbs, one day while out eating in a public place I overheard some say, "why is that skinny (insert ugly word here) drinking diet soda?"..... It made me remember all the times I wondered why skinny people were drinking diet soda. Only this time, I knew why... Crazy, huh.... You never know the…
  • Welcome! Friends make all the difference on here. At least for me anyway. When I tried to us MFP just to log... I didn't. I'm on a 23 day log in streak and like having people around who know what it's like to struggle and strive! FR sent! Anyone else can add me too!
  • :) I too could use some more friends!
  • I'm 5'2 and when I lost down to 117 lbs (from 201) I had people tell me I 'looked sick'..... no I didn't I just didn't look like the whale I felt like I was before! People are just as cruel when you are skinny or fat. Maybe more so when you are skinny. They think that it's okay to tell you they think you need a…

  • Milk and bread savers for me are to put the bread in the freezer and take out what I need each time. If frozen in the morning it is thawed by lunch if I'm making a sandwich. I also found that if you moisten a paper towel (squeeze out all excess water) and wrap your sandwich in it bread that is not fresh and soft will be…
  • Thanks for all the help!
  • Here's a shout out to you Jessica! Whoot! Whoot! Way to go! I am super excited for you!
  • I'm no expert at weight lose but I know my Mom has the hardest time losing weight. She can go by the strictest diet and exercise religiously and only lose half a pound or nothing at all. Having watched her struggle so with it, I feel your pain. I'm glad you started on this journey to lose weight and I commend you for…
  • For me, I can't 'diet'. In my mind that's a dirty four letter word that is a recipe for disaster . Changing my eating habits to include more of the good stuff and less of the stuff that I love but KNOW is not the best things to eat. I love one dish meals, spaghetti, casseroles, etc.. but instead of the large bowl of…
  • As part of my new year journey, I gave up all sodas for at least a year and artificial sweeteners for good. I loved Coke Zero. However, I didn't like the price I had to pay to support my habit. The verdict is still out on just how harmful artificial sweeteners are, but for me I just couldn't shake the feeling that it…
  • Wow! Yes I have. It is a terrible feeling for people to tell you that you look "sick" or that you look like you have cancer. And now that I have gained some of my weight back and am trying to loose it again, some have even said, " I hope you don't loose as much as you did last time you looked like you were dying". I was…
  • I'm 39 and for most of my life have been over weight. In August of 2004 with 201 lbs on my 5'2 frame I decided to do something. I got my hands on a WW points finder and made myself a copy, because there just wasn't enough cash to go to meeting. Learning what I could from those who went and exercising 6 days a week, I lost…
