I am one of those people who has tried to give up gluten without a true diagnosis. I do know that since I have I feel so much better - I do miss a slice of sour dough bread or a montreal bagel but such is life. As for things I use as a substitute - really there is no substitute for "bread" but if you are looking for…

Hi There, I've been doing this about 6 weeks now and I hope that you won't give up. I had a week with no loss (about 3 weeks in) I felt so frustrated because I'd been very good. I felt like the previous two weeks were flukes - I told myself that no matter what I was giving this three months - no quitting until three months…

interesting, I'm in NS and have never heard of them. Here people have showers (or jack and jills) and with HUGE extended families they have have, no joke, a 100 or 200 people. My folks weren't originally from here so we're not generations deep to have this type of event but I've been invited to them. We may be polite but…

Funyuns - but can't get them in Canada which may make them irresistible because it's eat now or never when I'm in the US.

I am a salt fanatic, I really enjoy salty snack. When I decided to recommit to getting healthy I had to decide to just avoid them because even if I eat a few within my calories I will want more. In the past I went cold turkey like this and then I was able to have one or two - at some point I just gave up and gave in so…

Thanks I've not been hungry as of yet since I'm chowing down on a lot of veggies but I expect as I continue I'm going to want a piece of cheese or something else similar. Also planning on getting my act together for some regular exercise (I've been letting snowy streets be an excuse) so if I aim for the total all should be…

Bam! Another Nova Scotia girl here ;) It is very brrrrr today :)

Very best of luck to you! Have a great week

Have a look at my journal if you'd like. I'm getting around 1400 a day and I'm feeling pretty satisfied. Basically the only things I'm doing is eliminating junk food / processed foods. I sometimes look at other journals and wonder if I'm doing it wrong / how people cope because their meals are so small. Today I have…

Must be that the ladies are hoping you'll talk to them first that's why their not saying anything, you look great! Anyone who knows you must have noticed!!

I want to lose about 40 (at least that's the magic number I have in mind, I'm only a tad taller at 5'3" and I'm trying to lose 1.5 a week but rather than focusing on the rate of loss as I have in the past I'm going to focus on how much better I am treating my body and the ultimate health benefits. I'd be lying in looking…

Thanks SO much to all of you for commenting on this. I have been thinking about it over this week and, due in part to our winter thaw (hard to believe we've gone from more snow then I remember as a kid to almost nothing) and "warmish" for winter temps I'm going to start this weekend. I can pretty comfortable do 5K with…

The goal for switching from brisk walking to jogging / running is a perhaps misplaced impression that this will up my cardio endurance. This summer I want to be able to hike some really challenging mountains so I thought that jogging in conjunction with some hill training might make that a reality?

Hi There, I'm Sarah, I live in Nova Scotia Canada, I have no children and a wonderful boyfriend. I am getting tired of always feeling bad about my weight and really doing nothing concrete about it, I could probably write a pretty darn good book about all of the best diet tips but I just don't follow them well enough. I…

Hi there, I've just joined and would love some friends to share the journey with feel free to add me. Cheers, Sarah
