This is HARD work. You are training your self to a new way of being.. and it will take TIME. In my case, I have a bad sweet tooth!!! And I know if I do not plan for it I am going to fall & fall far!!!! So instead of giving into every craving... I got an incredibly fun & easy recipe of oats & dark choc, shredded coconut,…

"But only you can believe that you are worthy of having a body that meets your standard. You have no one else to answer to when you look into your own eyes in the mirror. And when you believe that you are worthy and beautiful, simply because you are, when someone asks if you’ve lost weight, you will no exactly what to tell…

I too have a hard time with compliments, and as someone mentioned here... they are really heartfelt & genuine.. so somewhere in there we need to start feeling worthy of our achievements as well. A sense of love & respect for self, a sense of acknowledgment to ourselves for work done well. I think everything we are making…

Great pointers from everyone. Thanks. Initially I spent some time cleaning my pantry & now whenever I am using the last bit of something, it goes on my list. Costco is my friend & I do use items on sale as well. Though since I eat a lot of vegetables... it is best to make a trip to the farmers market. I have noticed the…

cooked with water, add diced gala apple or banana & 1 tbsp flax seed or chia seeds. I do not feel the need for a sweetener as the fruit makes it sweet enough for me. I am going to start using frozen strawberries, blueberries etc as the weather gets warmer.

Laceylala - thanks for the info. I will stop by & check it out:-) I think I need to go to the Dr and get checked for my gluten & wheat allergies. I think I need to see an ND! Interesting to note.. I have allergies to grass & other greens as well:-( I tried this "RAW" protein mix from Whole foods & my stomach did a churn…

My Mom is like that.. she is an AMAZING cook!!!! Love her. Though... being the cook she is.. she is slowly listening to what I am trying to achieve & is starting to come up with interesting ways of bringing her cooking skills to making healthier stuff for me & we are all eating better. The other day she made lean turkey…

Ok.. the discrepancy you might see in my total weight loss is due to the fact that when I first joined I ACTUALLY weighed 191.4... not 191! Just did not have the guts to own up to that... so my APOLOGIES to everyone here as I know that TOTAL HONESTY is the prime directive for being here (at least for me) & I should not…

Hi Gals, Sorry for not being here much this last week. Though I tried hard to get in some treadmill walking done & thought I might have lost 1- 1.5 lbs.

First of all have you tried cooking the bean/lentils with ginger. I used to have gas issues, but cooking it this way has solved that problem for me. High protein stuff that many others have already suggested as well as others I use: Quorn, edamame, greek yougurt, lentils, protein bars,soy protein powder, brown rice, almond…

Forgot. - I am at 189.9 lbs for today. PMS - I will keep it simple: Some background: Even though I am from India, I have grown up in different parts of the world, have an engineering background & am always looking for scientific facts to back all I learn. So have a very western outlook on things. Issue: Extreme cramping…
