wow...you've pretty much captured it all. i know all about making excuses: knee problems, thyroid issues, and saying that tomorrow is a new day. the fact is tomorrow is not promised to any of us. congrats on the great work. keep it up!!!

I buy bulk when this stuff is on sale.

Kraft Free Zesty Italian....15 calories per serving.

What do you expect?? As someone who hasn't touched Diet Coke since 2008, I really have no sympathy for this woman. It's sad for her family but at some point when you're downing the first liter in the morning, "i'm addicted" should cross your mind. And if you can't help yourself, then you should ask for help. Honestly…

i would eat a banana, granola bar, and drink some coconut water. nothing heavy - you don't want to vomit or get a tummy ache. obviously, the night before, you should eat more.

I usually mix cinnamon and vanilla creamer together before I add my coffee. Adding cinnamon makes coffee yummier!

Last I checked, 64 oz of water is eight 8 oz cups of water, not 18.5. Remember: 8 x 8 = 64. If she were taking larger shots of water, it would probably be 18.5.

I think people are failing to recognize that while age might only be a number for men, it isn't just a number for women. If you meet your husband at 36 or 42, not having children is a real possibility. People don't usually plan on infertility, so the earlier you can try, the better. I didn't get married until 34 and it…

Hate goes both ways. Why would Sam Bacile create such a hateful, disrespectful film? Answer - He is a Zionist and they hate everyone but their own. I am absolutely disgusted by the film and Zionist America for supporting it. I am really disheartened by the double standard in this country. Freedom of speech? There is no…

the kind with tons of feta in it. i get fat free feta (35 cal) so i can use half the container in one salad.

Exactly what I do. Silk also sells a 30 calorie unsweetened one.

I have a major sweet tooth. My biggest challenge is deviating from my regular safe meals. Sometimes, the hunger monster or sweet tooth monster attacks and nothing can stop it. I also do not like working out. Some people enjoy it - I'd rather be outside gardening or removing a stump. Shakeology and tilapia and two great…

Wow...what an amazing story and transformation. You have every reason to be proud of yourself. You look awesome! Congrats!!

Take it with food. It'll make you nauseous othewise.

I take: 3000IU Vitamin D Evening Primrose Oil Prenatal Vitamin - Zatean-PN (containing magnesium, iron, zinc) Fish Oil And even though these aren't vitamins, I also take: a heaping teaspoon of fresh natural royal jelly (yuck) Probiotics

OMG This is hilarious. Thanks!!

maybe your body just needs to adjust to it. if you don't plan on eating a lot of dairy, it's probably not worth the discomfort. on the other hand, you could take a long weekend to eat a block of cheese and a drink a gallon of milk to see what happens ;)

There's a woman who feels the need to ALWAYS prop the ladies' restroom door wide open. Why the heck would anyone want to hear you handle your business in the hallway?? And then the people who come in my office when I have tons of work just to talk about NOTHING! Leave me alone people!!

Thank you, Heniko. For me, Ramadan has always been a test of self-control and patience while worshipping Allah. It is a reminder to be grateful for the abundance foods since there are so many in this world who starve on a daily basis. Losing weight is an added bonus since Allah wants us to take care of our bodies. My plan…

i closed by Facebook back in february and have no desire to return to it. on the other hand, i've logged into mfp 135 consecutive days and counting!

Asalaamu Alaikum, I recently posted something on the Nutrition forum about limiting calorie intake during Ramadan. I was greeted with a lot of negativity and my post was locked by MFP. My question is regarding limiting calorie instake to approximately 600 calories a day, My plan is to consume a Shakeology shake (containing…

Thank you very much - this is exactly the kind of info I am seeking. I am asking for experience from people who have tried this before, not the ignorant opinions of those who never tried this. I am fasting for religious reasons but for those people who are familiar with this fast, dusk is after 8PM and I really don't want…

love this

EVERY morning i have a slice of nature's own light honey wheat bread and 2 tablespoons of jiff creamy peanut butter with my coffee. There is something about the combination of coffee and peanut butter that makes me feel so warm and happy inside. I tried to quit my morning peanut butter routine but it just made me angry.…

LOL. that is awesome.

Amen. I go to Costco for the huge jars of Jiff. Love me some peanut butter!

I simply do not like tattoos. I never disrespected anyone here but apparently it's OK to attack someone who thinks differently. So who's the one with bad, judgy attitudes and closed minds?

I have always wanted to try spaghetti squash as an alternative to pasta. But that is awesome that it can be used in lasagna. I will definitely have to try that!

looking at all these posts makes me thank GOD i never got one. personally, i think tattoos are dirty looking and something you'll most likely regret later on in life.

yum! love the blog :)
