I had home made chocolate birthday cake today. I enjoyed every bite. It is still hard for me to see it as okay to eat it but I am working on that. Yay for cupcakes!

I cut my weight loss to 1.5lbs and it upped my calories to about 2000 (from 1750) I feel better, not so starving at night. I will see how it goes and adjust as need

I think this is really sad. I am sure your husband loves you whether your stomach is flat or not

I buy my bread at Dollarama. (It's good!) It's only 110 calories for 2 slices

I need my morning toast, and you can't do that with cauliflower!

All these stories are horrifying and just so sad. When I was younger I was crippled by nasty comments and felt horrible about myself. It didn't' help that my own family was so dysfunctional that I was told I was fat all the time, even as a 6 year old. (I was never fat as a kid or teen) By my late 20s I realized that all…

I love juicing but I use it to help me get my liquids plus all my veg/ fruit in (I can't eat that much veg in a day) plus I also eat solid food. I have never juiced kale though. I have an Omega 8004 Nutrition Center which is awesome for not only juicing but also making nut butters, fruit sorbets etc

Thank you both! I think it is the side steps. It is this video I am doing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykPr0t2KutY

Skinny doesn't always mean healthy. I've know many skinny/slim women who were physically weak and sick a lot, but they were praised for being thin My mother is about 100lbs, 5'2" and super thin. Again she is told how great she looks. She smokes a pack day and eats like a bird. She has terrible health

I recently started with the 1 mile walk. It really hurts my hips, but I have joint issues so I don't know if it is that or what. I like it though, after. During I am cursing at the tv!

peanut butter and a little cinnamon. It makes a divine veggie dip

Another idea for a workout, well it depends on your fitness level, for me it's hard - I climb stairs. I walk up and down 11 flights of stairs. you could do that at work or any tall public building you have near you that you can climb stairs.

My dad eats a ridiculous amount of food, and he can polish off a carton of ice cream in one night. But he is 79 and goes to the Gym at least once a week. he's been lifting weights since he was 19. He can run flat out run! non stop on the treadmill for 45 minutes. I always thought that was impressive. oh and BTW dad is only…

I've worked out (at home) in my Crocs because sneakers squish my feet and I like the cushioning of Crocs

I don't think the Gym is for everyone, esp if you have kids and no extra time to run off there and miss being with your kids. They are only young once and I think it's important to spend time with them I'd say get some dvds your like, hand weights and work out after your kids go to bed. If they wake up or what not your…

:laugh: I think that only ever happened on television.

I'm either starving at night or just really want to eat. Most of the time I think it's my brain wanting to keep up the old pattern of munching on junkfood at night. I like your container idea or the prebagged snacks ideas. Serving sizes was a real eye opener to me. I had no idea some foods had such small servings! HUGS…

OP I was looking this up the other day. I found this site. It has lots of great links (purple highlighted text) with even more info http://www.phoenixhelix.com/2013/06/23/nightshade-free-survival-guide/

I don't understand all the math and reasoning behind it but MFP tells me 1750 a day so that is what I eat :) I'm 5'10" and currently 268 lbs

Sizing is weird though: I have no idea what size I was back when I was 165lbs. At least I have no idea what it is today because sizing has changed so much. I had a 30 inch waist and wore a size 11/12 jean. I have never been the skinny tall, curvy tall and I always had a bit of belly

I'm 5'10" tall, weight currently 268, working towards getting to 200lbs then I will see. At 200lbs I am a size 14 (currently a 16/18) Feel free to add me as a friend. It is VERY nice to see other tall women stories on here. :) oh and heels: yes in my 20's I rocked heels and loved it. Now my poor feet and ankles hate heels,…

What about fruit dipped in dark chocolate? Frozen banana "ice cream" (freeze bananas and then put in blender or if you have a good juicer you can put it through that and it goes fluffy) make your own snacks from recipes you feel comfortable with (gluten free, raw foods, etc) or just have the serving size of something you…

I do not speak to my parents, my mother disowned me. Partly because I decided to have a life and not be her lifelong servant. Regarding weight, my mother was only kind to me when I was thinner. When I was heavier she would do things like buy me a Medium t shirt and tell me I could wear it if I lost weight. BTW I am…

Wow. That was an inspiring read. That made me cry. I am going to show your story to my husband. He is 400 lbs and keeps saying he can't exercise he is too big

I've got clothes stored away that I love but can't fit. Those are the things I want to wear again- little black dress, hot jeans, sexy top.

I think it goes both ways. I've done online dating (met my husband on E-Harmony) and had weird experiences and outright aggressive sexual messages, but I have also known guys who had the same thing. i know of one guy who went on one (1) date with a woman and she became obsessed with him. Sending him text messages daily…

That weight comes off my boobs first and my stomach last. :sad:

I can see a difference in your whole body and your thighs def look smaller now. Your butt is smaller too

I will see if I can find you the documentary/show I watched on the sugar industry in Britain. It was shocking actually. The scientific studies showing how sugar is just as if not more addictive that drugs was fascinating ah found it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7teGTzp9GQ

Maybe I am one of those supertasters? I find most sweet things just disgusting now. I tried walking down the cookie/granola bars aisle in the grocery store to get my son granola bars and I had to leave. The smell of all of it combined literally made me gag! I can also taste the salt in breads. lol
