I don't have much support from family and friends and while they believe they are trying there are so many things that they say and do that sabotage my efforts and I do believe for the most part they do it unintentionally but it doesn't change the fact that I need much more support. I'm here if you want to add me as a…

That's wonderful :drinker:

Similar situation, except it is my own family who live here who keep buying, eating and asking for the calorie loaded alternative and to boot they also eat the diet stuff I buy specifically for me, making my dieting situation a difficult one. *Hugs* Stay strong, it isn't easy but it has to be possible.

I saw that clip as well and need to look into it myself. I'll keep an eye out on this thread to see what other people post, as I am curious as well.

Welcome back (per say, lol) if you want you can add me

Prayers to you to help carry you through these hard times. Stay strong, it isn't easy but it will pass and you soon will begin to heal

You're welcome. I try to share on here with everyone when I come across info that seems interesting and/or useful :smile:

I believe I read somewhere that eating less than 1000 calories is what puts your body into starvation mode. I look forward to seeing what other information is posted on this subject

Ahhh, didn't know that. Thank you. One of the things I love about my new weight loss efforts, I learn so much not only about me or the food I eat but nutritional information per say.

I think the fact that I have so much weight also has an effect on the way a pair of shoes work for me. Being over 300 pounds I find that the support is quite lacking (on the type of shoes I can afford anyways) and I wear them out alot faster too :cry:

Thank You for the link, I'll going to check it out now

Good question, I don't have the answer, except to make an assumption that cooking it a bit longer gets rid of some of the fat in it and it might be a bit healthier for you (calorie wise). I'm looking forward to hearing the correct answer to your question

Oh thanks for sharing it with us. I did a couple hours of walking today and my feet were sooooo sore. I was wearing some old sneakers and even purchased some new ones today but they were cheaper sneakers (all I could afford) I will be looking for some inserts next payday. Thanks for the tip

Pizza is their main seller but they also sell subs, wings and dinners

Congrats!!

Welcome :flowerforyou: I think you will really enjoy it here.

I've been a member for about 3 weeks now. The cravings were quite intense at first. And while I still crave food and junk food and treats, I must say it's slowly getting better.....very slowly though. I'm not trying to be a downer about this, and I'm sure not everyone goes through the same thing. This is me. And I'm a bit…

Sounds delicious can't wait to try it

Good for you and you are right, no time like the present to do what we need to do. I'm just trying to keep my mind on the mind set that it's just one day at a time. Like you I also have about 150 to lose as well.

Oh I can't wait till some of this pain goes away, but I keep walking despite it all. Thank you for sharing this with me. It helps to know I'm doing the right thing.

I love this site and the support here is just wonderful.

Wonderful. Thank you for sharing it. Can't wait to try it some weekend coming up soon

Way to go!! And congrats on avoiding temptation

What do you calculate the calories for this recipe to be?

P.S. Feel free to add me, I'm always looking for new friends and support

I'm 312 currently looking to come down to 160 someday. I just started not to long ago here. Working on controlling my eating and since I have mobility issues with arthritis in my back and knees, I'm doing walking (slow pace)

Thank you, that helps me feel alot better :flowerforyou:

I eat at TGI Friday's from time to time and find it hard to find some of their calorie info online. Not to mention I made the mistake and ask the waiter (who I thought should have been more knowledgable) and she stated I don't have a clue just check out the menu and pick something that states is a healthier choice. So to…

Got to love a great find. And it looks wonderful

We all have good days and bad days and I think worrying/stressing over it could lead to stress eating if you aren't careful. Relax and if possible do some more exercise. I'm new to this journey but have figured out it's all about good days and bad and I can't stress over the bad as long as I have more good days than I do…
