That is AWESOME!! :bigsmile:

I used Allan Carr's book also! Best thing I ever bought! It does put you in the right frame of mind.....It makes a lot of sense to me the way he thinks! April 30th will be 2 years and I have not cheated at all. Once in a blue moon I will think-- man I could really enjoy a cig in this nice place ie: nice shaded swing, by…

Wow! 50 pounds! Congratulations!! And it really shows......Thank you for posting and sharing! It's a great encouragement for those of us who are struggling to loose.. Keep up the great work and be sure to post more success pictures! :happy:

I am now on my fortieth or so try........but so long as we keep trying we are winning!! I try to look at this as a life change....not a diet. I'm 49 and have just recently come to the conclusion that I just want to feel better, and be able to move without pain or huffing and puffing! If I can get smaller I'll consider that…

So you have accomplished something.....made us all think about our exercise! Thanks......I think!

Do you feel better now that you have vented? I think that it is great that you are very fit and capable of detailing many cars in your business. How did you list your normal daily activities? Active? Very Active? I hope you can appreciate how fortunate you are and how lucky you are.....Not everyone is lucky like you. Have…

I took this medicine years ago. It worked for me as far as helping with my appetite but I did not do any type of behavior modification. So once off the meds I gained the weight back. Doing MFP is a great way to start a new lifestyle change! Use the medicine for a short while but remember once the pills are gone you still…

Oh no! I have never thought to freeze one......might have to try that..:drinker: Also congrats on making it a year since you smoked! I hit my year mark 4/30/11!! What a great feeling!!!

I know how you feel! I've been that way lately........I get so disgusted with myself when I do it! :mad: Common sense tells me to get up and walk, run, clean, something other than eat that fattening, calorie laden THING....but I don't think common sense has anything to do with the binge eating!!! I am interested in what…

I went under food data and typed in Mango......what I found was 1 cup = 107 calories....

Hang in there! AND Congratulations on getting your tough girl raised! I had one of those! I wish she had gone into the military....but she is making it on her own and I'm proud of her for pulling herself out of the rut she was in!

Yeah, WHEN is this going to happen!!! I am a big water drinker too, and I go constantly....It's a joke with my family, friends and coworkers---I know where all the bathrooms are in any given store anywhere! It's real fun to take a trip with me...... :noway:

WOW!!! Congratulations! :drinker: :happy:

sugar free/fat free pudding!!

I worry about stuff like this too......It trys to keep me from doing a lot of stuff.....I tell myself to "Suck it up, smile and let it go!!" (no one knows you anyway!!!) Wish I could go with you.....Exercise is a lot funner with friends but if your friends aren't interested in fitness maybe you can meet new people who will…

Hello...... My first thought was OH NO...she said the "D" word!! Deprived........You have to consider this a LifeStyle Change.... The key is moderation. Eat what you want but in smaller portions. My doctor told me to not drink anything with calories, don't eat any portion bigger than your fist. And exercise (yuck!) I walk…

Welcome and good luck!! Sounds like you are on the right track! :happy: Beth

Thank you....needed to hear this stuff!

Thanks for the easy food ideas!! Sounds great for lunch ideas!!

Way to go DC!! :bigsmile:

Now this is dedication and motivation at its finest!! Never would have thought of this..... Best of luck with your healthy eating and ya'll be safe out there!

I've gone 50 days or so without smoking and I am yo-yoing with 3 pounds.......I really found that book "Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by Allen Carr helpful with my NOT smoking and NOT using it as an excuse to over eat....I find myself wanting to eat especially when I would normally be having a smoke...but I try to recognize…

:bigsmile: Now that's what it is all about!!!!

Just enjoy your weekend! Practice portion control and stop worrying about it! You will not gain all your weight back in 3 days! Have FUN!!! :bigsmile:

My quit date was April 30, 2010.....I bought a book called "Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by Allen Carr. He has a different outlook at smoking and quitting! It has been my motivation!! You can google it and get info on it. I "heard" about it here on MFP. In the Search, type smoking or stop smoking and there are all kinds of…

Sounds really good!!! Thanks! :smile:

Very appropriate!!! Thank you!

Keep up the great work!! :happy: :drinker:
