I agree with others postings about finding something similar in the database. Even if there is an item from a chain restaurant in there it's still not going to be 100%. You are at the mercy of whoever cooked your meal when it comes to how many calories are in it!

Herro?

I think the reality of it is, the reason you reach those heavier numbers is because you're not paying attention to your body, sort of neglecting it, not facing the truth of it. So now that you are doing something about it (and doing an amazing job by the way!) you are giving your body the attention it needs! Just don't let…

SW: 180 CW: 175 GW: (at the end of August) 170 One thing I've been wanting to do when I've lost enough weight is to go out in a swimsuit and not feel like I need a t-shirt and shorts over it! Also to get ready for a wedding or other formal occasion and not have to wear spanx!

Love this topic! I have issues with that too! Thanks for being brave there OP. I like reading all the tips, I never thought it was that big of a deal until I read about the possible colon problems, I just thought the only issue is it made me uncomfortable for a couple days. Looks like I have another thing to talk to my…

I like bagel thins with some laughing cow cream cheese wedge on them with fruit. Or I make my own smoothie (great for hot mornings!) For the smoothie I put 1/2 cup low fat yogurt, 1 banana, and 1/2 cup milk and then whatever other fruits I want in there! My favorite combo is strawberry, peanut butter, banana. If I'm in a…

If you're into the work out DVDs I would definitely try another Jillian DVD or insanity or P90X or anything from beachbody for that matter! There are TONS of choices out there. P90X is really intense I have it, but you have to work out anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes for those DVDs so you'll need to have the time to devote…

Thanks! In order of responses to mine: Mulan Snow White Jasmine

I love this one: "Losing weight is hard, being overweight is hard, choose your hard."

Take this into account. one lb. equals 3,500 calories. So if you want to lose 1lb. a week, you need a 500 calorie a day deficiency. A 1,000 calorie a day deficiency is 2 lbs a week (which is extreme). What I've been doing is I calculated my TDEE (this will vary by website, just go with whatever number you want, I used…

I am getting my hair cut and colored, a manicure, and a new wardrobe!!! I've been trying to get to a certain weight for the past 7 years and have only gotten further and further away from it. So I just want to do it and reward myself!!!

You're welcome

I've been mixing dried fruit with dark chocolate nestle morsels. I love dried cherry and dark chocolate - perfect for my sweet tooth and yummy! Handful of almonds string cheese anything Snackwell's by Nabisco yogurt pretzels trail mix (make your own too!) beef jerky cheese cubes and veggies with ranch

Wow you look younger, healthier, happier, and 10000x more confident and sexy! Congrats to you! What an amazing job you did!

I lost weight for my wedding, not as much as I wanted to but some. The problem was after the wedding since all I was doing was "losing weight so I wouldn't be a fat bride" I became a fat wife. You're still going to be a beautiful bride whether you have some extra junk in the trunk or not! Enjoy your day, it'll be one of…

We are having issues with training our beagle puppy too. She just doesn't even seem to care and will just pee right in front of us, though never on us. A few things: I know you mentioned that you should be giving so many treats which is true, but they make specific lower calorie training treats, and we even split those up…

What's really good on the BBQ is veggies!!

I met my now husband 7 years ago at a New Year's Eve party at a mutual friends house. We are from the same town and I was in my senior year of high school, he had graduated a year before and was home for winter break. I knew EXACTLY who he was, captain of the football team, very popular, mega hottie, I was the shy girl for…

I like this. Maybe if instead of getting home from work at 4:30 or 5 and considering that my downtime. I don't "get home" and have downtime at home until like 5:30 or 6. Yes I like this.

Right. I like it.

And is the English equivalent to fanny to dirty or something to discuss on here? I really have no idea and am too nervous to google it here at work!!

I'm surprised at this one. We use the term "tap water" in the US all the time!! But we do generally call the faucets. Or in the midwest it's just a sink.

I, like you am totally obsessed with Mexican food. I was recently in your situation and really tried to do my research and I can tell you what to stay away from. Try not to eat to many chips in the beginning limit yourself to just a few, just look at the calories to know how much you want to allow and tell yourself that's…

-Work out at least 5 days a week -Eat at least 3 servings of vegetables a day -Only dine out a maximum of 4 times (once a week) -Only have one "cheat" day a week (likely coordinating with my once a week dining out day) -I would like to lost at least 8 lbs. but won't beat myself up if that doesn't happen

Ugh I'm the same way. One week I'm a diet and exercise fool! Next week, I'm eating over 2,500 calories a day, not exercising at all and drinking way to much. I have started my weight loss journey over and over and it seems every time I'm "back on the wagon" I'm heavier and heavier. We are only human. Some of us have found…

I've read different forums about the 30DS and they said that a "blended" program was actually recommended. I agree with Vanessa, it's best to confuse the body. I'm trying to lose lbs. and inches as well so I'm going to blend mine too. I just started so not sure if it's the best way to go about it but it does makes sense to…
