Almonds, low-fat graham crackers, and if you have a cooler, pack some of those weight watchers mozzarella string cheese sticks.

This is really good news! I am going on vacation next week and will be at a resort where all food and alcohol is included and plentiful. I have worried about gaining while I am there, even though I plan on running while at the resort and I will TRY to not go too crazy with my food and sugary sweet mixed drinks. I sure hope…

I'd love to know how to control it... Mine is just beginning and for the past several days, no matter what I eat, it doesn't make me feel satisfied. I just want more, more more of everything! UGHHH!! 2 days ago I polished off almost an entire bag of Brookside Dark Chocolate Covered Pomegranates! I was so mad at myself but…

It told me I am 7 lbs overweight right now. I was thinking that I'd lose about 5 more lbs. No way would I want to lose any more than that.

I totally agree. I think the C25K program is a great one. It starts you out slow enough so that you avoid injury which is a very common thing for new runners. I think you are off to a great start and your determination is amazing! Keep at it! You will get there, I promise!

I have been told by several people here that when you get closer to your goal, you need to change your weekly weight loss goal to lose less per week. Sounds awful I know... I did it just recently. It caused me to have more calories to consume daily, which is a little bit scary. But I have still been losing. I had my goal…

My aunt is flying in from MN, and my mom, sister, brother-in-law, niece and nephew are having dinner at my grandmother's house. I am really nervous and wondering if I can practice some self-control, calorie-wise.

Oooooh are they ever!! The Cadbury Eggs and Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs are my two main weaknesses in this life. I have eaten an obscene number of both candies in one sitting. I once ate so many of the Cadburys my head literally felt like it was spinning from all the sugar. What a pig I was.

What a sorry SOB!!!! I would have told him to take his card and shove it. What an *kitten*!

Thank you! I relied a lot on the good people here to keep me motivated and give me great useful information.

It was 7 days before I saw a one pound loss. Talk about discouraging! Then the second & third week seemed to move much faster.

I do too. I am curious. And for the record I LOVE Andy Griffith! I am an avid fan. :-)

Well, now I don't feel quite so bad... :wink: Your story reminds me of stuff I did as a teen. When I was 16, I dated a 20-year old guy who was in the air force and stationed at the base located in my town. I did this against my parents' wishes. After all, what does a 20-year old guy want with a 16-year old girl, right??…

I don't know how the conversation came about with the mutual friend. He has never done anything out of line and always is very respectful. So much so that I would have never guessed that he had this thought about me. I guess just knowing it will make me feel a little weird, ya know? I am trying to put it out of my mind.

I recently learned that my longtime best friend's husband is attracted to me. I am mortified, embarassed, and kind of afraid to be around him now. I have known both of them since I was a child. We go out on double dates and also on vacations with this couple. Now it will be very awkward for me having found this out. It…

That's a serious NSV right there! You go girl! :)

Undefeated by Def Leppard is really awesome! I listened to it today during my race and it was perfect to get me all worked up to run. I downloaded it on iTunes.

I must agree! So many great people here who are eager to help and offer support! :)

I haven't hit a plateau YET, but I think it's going to happen very soon. I am down to the last 9 lbs and I would like to avoid the plateau thing altogether. I had my goal set at 1 lb of loss per week, which gave me 1220 calories daily. I am going to try increasing my daily calories to 1350. That's only 130 calories more…

Had a couple of these yesterday... First I put on a pair of pants that cut me in half last month. Now they snap with no problem and are actually comfortable. :-) Then when I got to work, one of my co-workers told me that my face looked thinner and asked if I had lost weight. YAY!!! I have only lost 8 lbs, but on a stubby 5…

I have a new one I downloaded the other day. It's E.T. by Katy Perry. I highly recommend it!

I read that article too. I usually set the treadmill to 1% when I am not able to run outdoors. The treadmill really is a 'crutch' when set on its 0% setting.

I run also, and it does help your thighs. I do walking lunges as well and love the results.

Apple Straws by World Gourmet. I picked them up in the chip aisle. They taste just like McDonald's apple pie! Soooo good! And 38 straws is only 130 calories. Love love love them!

Yes, you have a chance of stroke if you take the pill and smoke cigarettes. The risk is much higher if you are over age 35. Your doctor will be able to tell you all of the risks in detail. My diet was not changed in any way when I started taking it. I hear a lot of people get that bloaty feeling on it as well. But at the…

DITTO! I have been trying to figure that out as well.

I think everyone reacts differently to it. As my luck would have it, I gained weight while on Ortho Cept. A friend of mine has the Mirena IUD implant and has gained a very large amount of weight. Some people are just prone to gain with those types of medications. You never know until you try it out for a while. I know it…

Hi there, It was about 10 days before the scale started to move for me. I was getting frustrated because I expected quick results. Just stick with it and it will work.

This is the very reason I don't drink coffee anymore. In order to drink it and like it, I had to load it up with TONS of flavored creamer and sugar or sweetener. UGH! It tasted more like a dessert after I was finished doctoring it up. Now I just forego coffee altogether.

That's right up there at the top of my list too. Love it. Others I like are Dragula by Rob Zombie, Right Now by Van Halen and Burn it To The Ground by Nickelback.
