That was weird...I tried to post a reply to the one thing I liked (not sure what happened but anyway....) .... "I don't make excuses, I make decisions"! I love that answer. I always want to eat everything that's not tied down during the first two days when FLO comes to visit (lol) I eat whatever I feel like and log…

I walk at LEAST 10,000 steps/day (FitBit) and that (& occasional yardwork or something) gains me calories. I'd be too hungry if I stuck to the 1300 I'm allowed. I eat like crap some days and I do drink tons of water. I haven't lost any weight in the last 2 months but I did lose almost 30 so far. Eating treats works for…

I walk briskly for exercise and the best songs I have are Shania Twain's "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under"! Haim, "The Wire", Cash Cash, "Take Me Home", Will I Am, "Scream and Shout"...... I've got about 40 songs on my "Walking Song List"....always looking for more....

DIET is a 4 letter word, just saying. I don't believe in dieting at all. Like others have said, it's a lifestyle change. Dieting involves cutting out certain foods and starving yourself. This "My Fitness Pal" just serves to make you accountable for the food you do eat. Want that chocolate bar? Go ahead and eat it but count…

I have tossed a TBSP of chia seeds into my smoothies for one week every a.m. I find myself gassy all day and my pee stinks!! Is this the chia seeds??? I also put protein powder in my smoothies.....anyone have this experience? :noway:

I have found this site very helpful as I'm embarking on a Smoothie-For-Breakfast gig too :) http://simplegreensmoothies.com/green-smoothie-101

Skinny Pop popcorn.....and water. Popcorn maybe makes me bloated? LOL......anyway, it makes me full...quenches my salt and crunch cravings. Followed by tons of water, of course.

I love all these posts! I'm hungry right now....I tried to replace my McD's breakfast with a homemade protein smoothie....not happening. I'm HUNGRY, did I mention that? I eat because food tastes good and I really don't like cooking. I do it because I have a family to feed. I was looking for an easy way to lose weight but…

I've lost 25 lbs slowly with another 10 to go...feel free to add me...I'm a daily logger/commenter :)

to cloney87....well done! I'm going to pass that on to my friends who are "thinking" about quitting...... I've always been a non-smoker so I cannot imagine having to quit such an addiction. You obviously put a lot of thought into it and you sound like a wonderful support person to have!

Banana oat cookies look yummy!!! The recipe makes 8? I'd likely eat all of them!

I bought a VITAMIX in 1998 and it's still going strong. It is quite powerful but LOUD. I make fruit smoothies often. I can throw in carrots and wheatgerm etc and my kids don't know because you cannot see it....pretty much pulverizes everything that gets thrown in. I used to make soups.....I oughta get back into that. When…

Welcome "B", I'm Cheryl. We're here to support you! I'm not entirely sure what "ED-NOS" is and if I should be scared or glad?? LOL

At my work, people eat everything and anything! I work nights so we all get weird cravings and I always bring in all my leftover Hallowe'en candy and bags of chips etc. I wouldn't donate junk food to a food bank either so I guess if nobody at your work will eat your munchies, I guess the garbage is it's destiny!

Your wife's blog is set to private. Sorry you're having a tough go....I cannot imagine having panic attacks (although my heart pounds and I wake up stressed when I have a nightmare about one of my kids being hurt!) Glad your wife is supporting you. I'd be waking her up and asking for a hug if I were you, in the midst of a…

Welcome Pascal! It sounds like you've made the right decision to lose some weight....for health reasons alone. You're being honest with yourself and that's a big step in the right direction. You have to do this journey for yourself and want to do it. Logging everything you eat and being accountable to yourself is…

Welcome, KKaleigh....we're here for you! I'd love more friends for support....feel free to add me. I'm 47, mom of 3 and unhappy with my weight (obviously) so am finding this is working for me. It gets me moving everyday and makes me feel accountable for the food I eat! It's amazing when you document it, how obviously too…

I need all the buddies I can get :)

Add me pls. I'm from Toronto and log in daily...started this in September and I find it's been working....encouragement from others is awesome! Welcome :)

I work 12 hr nights on the weekends as a neonatal intensive care RN in Toronto. I eat chocolate to stay awake :(

hi!

how do you know who to believe????

Brought tears to my eyes, actually. You look and sound amazing. Your family, as well as yourself must be so proud and not to mention happier to have a healthier "you". I'm too ashamed to take pictures.....I'm so glad you did because the transformation is incredible! Thanks so much for sharing and congratulations :)

Although it's conceivably just another "fad", I have started to use coconut oil instead of butter and oil in recipes. Just trying it out for now. http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/coconut-oil-and-health

I have read through all the replies and I really like the idea of "planning" your meals for the week on Sundays except for me, it's different as I work shift work so I TRY and plan ahead for a few meals when I can. I too, browse the flyers and see what's on sale then "google" recipes that are simple and quick to use the…

Amazing! You must feel awesome/proud :) The goatee really suits you as well!
