I am not making a big deal about it this time around. It just is what it is. Sometimes talking about it over and over becomes overkill and I don't even want to think about it anymore. So this time, it's for me. Only me. My mom lost about 80 lb on Weight Watchers a few years ago and is totally in denial about the fact that…

I am commenting so I can keep up with this. Same exact issue here and am really struggling with this. I just feel unsatisfied! Last night, I did have some (and for some reason I am embarrassed to post this but am going to do it anyway) Baker's Dipping Chocolate pieces…

Update: I did ultimately go to a random number generating website and get 4 numbers for each month between now and December. (I am trying to be at or close to goal weight before a fabulous trip to Hawaii in December to visit my bestie, who I have not seen in three years). I put those dates on my Gmail calendar and set text…

LOVE!!! PS - I adore that "pants falling off" feeling. If I ever say it out loud, my husband takes that as his window to encourage me, or if he notices me having to hold them up to keep my butt from hanging out, he whistles. Makes a girl feel GOOD!

This!!! I did the same thing!

I hate spinach. Seriously hate it. For years, I have avoided it like the plague. The texture of it... gritty, like dirt. Gives me the shivers. But do you see that picture to the left of this post? Know why it's green? Because I have been putting raw organic baby spinach in my smoothies every morning. 85g of it. And let me…

I am really glad to see something uplifting come from this ridiculous original post. Good for you, you're giving these children the skills and abilities they will need to become successful adults. And hopefully your sister will find the motivation she needs to get better. Best of luck to you!

I have no teenage boys in my house but my husband is like a bottomless pit. He eats a whole meal and then 20 minutes later he's looking for more. He's a thin guy who works in the restaurant business and doesn't eat for 10-12 hours at a time. And before anybody jumps on a tangent about that, I do my best, he's 40, he's…

I am not a breakfast person at all. In high school, my idea of a balanced breakfast was a Nutra Grain bar and a diet Sundrop. It's no wonder i felt like crap all the time, even at 5'5" and 110. It has been a battle for me to eat in the morning but after three weeks, i am finally waking up hungry. I have a 300-375 calorie…

I actually do my best to log it, every painful bit of it, so that when I get some distance from it I can really see how awful it was. We had a brunch yesterday at the office for a birthday and I sabotaged myself. I ate a cream puff, 2 little danish things, and more. It was so good but within an hour I felt like I had a…

I just started the quinoa thing and I love it. It is so versatile and fills you up. It is $7 for a 1lb box at my nearest grocery store but I did some Googling and found that a health food store about 25 minutes away has it for half the price in the bulk section. They also send out coupons quite often for 20% off bulk…

I've eaten 1350-1500 calories every day since Tuesday and am down a pound. Also started having breakfast (some kind of protein and fruit smoothie with spinach in it) in the car on the way to work instead of waiting until I'm starving at 10a. The salt is shocking... really going to have to keep an eye on that. Yeesh!

Just yesterday I made a batch of hummus (search allrecipes.com for hummus, mine was the curried hummus, also the smoky chipotle is SUPER delicious) and did the math to see what what a reasonable portion. I divided it into 6 portions and went ahead and put them into small containers. I cut up 2 whole bell peppers, bagged…

This was helpful. I have been WAY over on my sugar every day but I eat things like bananas, nonfat milk, etc. By adding that column to my chart-thing so I can see it everyday, I have been made aware of how many things have sugar that you wouldn't expect - and how much sugar is in some things! It's a lot. I can't say that I…

Shorts. Sucks have to wear jeans all summer long. Tank tops. Sucks being hot all summer long, wearing my husband's tees because even at a size 12 I think fitted shirts are gross on me. But mostly, I want to be able to wear WHATEVER THE HELL I WANT! :bigsmile:

I went way over my EVERYTHING yesterday: protein calories, sugar & sodium (not on purpose), carbs... but all with healthy food. I was hungry after dinner so I had a smoothie and that's what did it. Ended up at about 1400 calories I think (gasp!) and felt not hungry for the first time since I started. I was full and happy.…

Thank you, that helps. I thought it was weird that it keeps telling me I have had too much protein, coming from a background of Weight Watchers for years. I've always strived to consume some protein at every meal and thought this was a good thing. So I should just ignore that little message that says I'm not going to lose…

Diary is public now. Just checked - BMR is 1551. I am 5'5", 184, F, 31Y. I work an office job all day but then chase my kids around all afternoon/evening. I have to eat a lot of protein or I get that hungry/dizzy/nauseous thing happening. Hopefully that's not my issue. I've been trying to spread my food out, breakfast,…
