I could have wrote this - applies to where I'm at right now - especially #4 and #5! Congrats on your transformation. I am struggling with #3 at the moment, finding time to workout is my biggest challenge.

This isn't something that's going to go away - there will always be temptations at the office so you need to have a plan. I agree with the other people who say self-control is like a muscle, you have to build it up. Make rules for yourself and stick to them. Here are some of mine: - If I want it, I have it, BUT: it has to…

Unbiased review here. I am against MLM's for all they are worth - just because I think there should be an option to purchase a good product at a reduced price without having to bug my friends and family just to get a discount! I'm not a coach, get no benefit from recommending. I lost a good portion of my weight without…

I have a few as well: - being able to wear pretty underwear - losing weight in my chest - I went from a 38 H to a 34 DD. Might sound bad to lose weigh there but I had wayyy to much. Not fun! - I agree with the towel comment - that was nice as well! - just feeling better overall - no more stomach aches, or feeling bagged…

Count me in as one who makes her own and stays full until lunch. High carbs or not - keeping me from snacking is worth it, IMHO. I used to use the packets (and still do in a pinch, but only Apples and Cinnamon as it is lower in sugar and calories than the others, other than the plain). I find the packets don't satiate me…

PLEASE - do not follow the advice of hanging on to it! I was told that too. What ended up happening is that I was rushed to the ER and needed to get it taken out immediately. Because I tried "hanging on to it", it became so inflamed that it attached to my liver. When they removed it, my liver started to bleed too much and…

I would search for recipes on Google or Pinterest. One that I *love* is Iced Mocha: 1 scoop Vanilla Shakeology 1/2 cup almond milk (I use the Vanilla flavour but it says to use unsweetened) 1/2 cup cooled coffee (use your favourite but try and use a stronger blend) 1 tsp cocoa Lots of ice - 2 cups (depending on your…

My cravings are the worst about a week before (and during) my period too. I used to blame myself, but if you keep track of your period (mine is not completely regular) then you know what to expect that week and plan accordingly (have the chocolate but adjust your meals accordingly - soups, chicken breast, etc). Since MFP…

I am a recovering binge eater too - it was a combination of binge/stress eating because the stress would trigger the binge. Chocolate was my main culprit, and it was like a drug, I just had to have it. And sugar, regardless of the source, would make me feel so sick, binge or not, so I would feel like crap both emotionally…

Would you mind sharing your recipe? I've seen these types of recipes all over Pinterest but am afraid of trying "cold" oatmeal, seems kinda gross to me. I cook my own from scratch every morning and I do like oatmeal, just a little hesitant to try it cold.

Thank you for asking this question as I was wondering about it myself. I hate that it's part of an MLM scheme. I wish a person could just buy some of these products (that are actually good) and not be pressured every 5 minutes to sell it. The reason I am curious is that sometimes mornings are so hectic for me, that I'd…

This literally made me laugh out loud, thanks for the laugh! Thanks for the other replies as well - I will try bobby pins, and the sweaty bands! I have not tried the skinny headband yet either, perhaps that is part of my problem as well (buying just the thick ones).

Thanks for the replies! Yes I noticed that almond milk has low protein (which puzzles me greatly!) I realize eating enough is important - but I also thought that having a recovery food boosts your muscle building? (again, speaking as a total newbie) I don't necessarily need a dairy alternative so regular chocolate milk is…
