I feel your pain and I have the same thing happen to me too, a lot. Today for instance. Our office had catered in, Chicken Fried Steak, Mashed Potatoes, Hot Buttered Rolls, etc. and it's a nightmare here. They act like I'm insane because I brought my lunch. I have one friend here who weighs twice what I do and can barely…

A friend of mine here at work is doing Ideal Protein and has lost 25 lbs. She looks good, but I don't want to "join" anything and have to buy products and eat their food. I'm doing it on my own but losing so slowly.

Here is a great article on sugar. http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/sugar-myth-eating-too-much-accident-150600845.html

Here is an excellent article on sugar and its effect on the body. It talks about naturally occurring sugars (fruit), artificial sweeteners, granulated sugars, high fructose corn syrup and sugars in all its many forms and the effect on the body. The article is very interesting.…

I did a blog post about breaking my addiction to sugar. You should read it. It was controlling my life and breaking that habit is the best thing I've done for myself. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/cfergusontx

This is a really good article that talks about sugar, which triggers insulin, which triggers fat storage! http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/sugar-myth-eating-too-much-accident-150600845.html

I haven't eaten dessert or candy in 3 1/2 years. I essentially gave it up in February or 2010 and lost 30 lbs. by June 2010 without any effort at all. I'm not eating a Paleo diet and I realize some things I eat contain refined sugar (for instance, it is an ingredient in bread) but by not eating candy and dessert and…

Find a distributor and take a good long look at them! Are they thin, fit and toned? Probably not. I know a distributor and she's been selling for a long time, she's always talking about how they help everyone lose weight, yada yada yada and yet they haven't helped her!

If I could spot reduce, I'd spot reduce this midriff away and these batwing arms!

Terrific. Keep up the good work!

Girl, you look fabulous!

I have had jiggly thighs my whole life and about three months ago we bought bicycles. They are firming up for the first time ever. I've tried stationary bicycles in the past with no results, but for the first time ever, riding outdoors I'm seeing some results. We are riding several times a week, Every other night, for…

I love Cliff Crunchy Peanut Butter bars. They are more of an energy bar and are 240 calories but man are they good.

Also, there's a new guy at our office (been here a year). I warned him of the food overload when he started work here. He's now 20 lbs. heavier. People bring food every day and force it on everyone else. :drinker:

I was (am) a sugar addict. When I finally realized that there was no having one donut, or one cookie -- shoot, I got so tired of people telling me just one won't hurt you. If I couldn't eat the bag of cookies I didn't want any. Who wants one freaking cookie? That was me. Finally I realized that it was like being alcoholic.…

I never eat back my workout calories. I kind of feel like that defeats the purpose.

Mine is open and I'm new on MFP. Feel free to add me. I don't have many "friends" yet!

Excellent job! Keep up the good work!

Keep up the good work! You look fabulous! Good job, you look beautiful.

This happened to me once after I had lost a lot of weight in a short time and I thought that was the reason. When I did finally go to the doctor (after six months with no period) they found out I had a tumor on my ovary and THAT was the reason. Get to the doctor quickly.

Girl, I feel your pain. My sagging elbow fat is the bane of my existence. I can't wear sleeveless anything. If you figure it out, we'll both know what to do!

Little things like that are so exciting aren't they? Congrats!

There's hope for me yet! Congrats on your success!

You look fabulous! Congratulations.

I'm new here too. Don't know how to add people, but I'm trying. In the meantime, please feel free to add me!

I just recently discovered this site and am super excited. Three years ago I drastically cut back on sugar (no desert, candy, etc.--three and a half years and still haven't had a piece of candy or cake!) and lost 30 pounds without otherwise dieting. Since then, my weight has stayed pretty constant where it is. Now, my…
