I feel a little smug

welcome heathercher as well asmyjourneyfr, anotherjane,nixthebro. How are you all today? I didn't binge yay! 263 calories yet to go. Oh, yesterday my husband's "to go" order of fries was sitting around, cold. I knew he wasn't going to eat them. I ate 2 or 3, remembered the challenge and gave the rest to my doggie, who was…

How did it go today for you? Stay strong. I'm going to try a bubble bath with music right now to combat the URGE

Oh my gosh, thank you for your post. I got mad this evening and had a 1800 calorie binge (plus the 1400 I had already eaten). Maybe I will not feel like eating at all tomorrow because of guilt and maybe even appetite. I am still mad, and actually feel like continuing the binge, but I finally got a clue a half hour ago and…

I am sure I would love it!!! I'll let you know soon.

I just had an idea for you. Is there a way on mfp to look up recipes that have cinnamon? Low cal recipes that is. If so next time make those for your daughter's friends.

Thanks for the reminder. I am coming up to one month, and I will be aware that this could be a weakening moment. Today I rediscovered that I like plain yellow mustard. I think I would like celery dipped in yellow mustard, so when I hit one month, I will prepare celery in my cuisinart (little cubes) and dip in yellow…

How frustrating. I am glad you are not gaining, and suspect that your body is just adjusting to being in this weight range, and will start dropping pounds in 2 weeks given that you are sticking to it. Be tough and hang in there.

The cool thing is that you will NOT want to go back to it. Keep a big tumbler of water within reach or passing, like at work if that applies, and at home. If you go to a bar ask for soda water with a lemon rather than liquor in soda.

Tell your angry self to back off and show a little respect for a person who came through in so many trying situations. Tell your angry self that YOU ARE NOT A NUMBER ON A SCALE, and to get a little perspective. Best to you. You are an amazing person

I have an idea. At a pub the other day I ordered a large tomatoe juice. They had it because they make bloody mary's (whatever that is, it sounds awful). Can you take tomatoe juice and whatever is used to make bloody mary to the party, and then just drink the tomatoe juice? Virgin bloody mary. Or sparkling water, maybe with…

sw: 162 GW: 145 CW: not sure - 161? Height 5 foot 10.5 inches female, 65 years old Any twin out there?

How do I add you?

Well, some things are similar: I THINK I weigh about 160 - 165 (scared to weigh) . Dream weight would be 145. Height 5'10 inches. Only thing is - I'm old 65 - a grandma. I have been a group exercise teacher for last 20 years and just retired.

Just for today: Congratulate myself because my 2 day binge off MFP could have been worse. Just for today: Half hour of step aerobics 3.8 mile walk to movie with friends, then public transportation home. Oh maybe tomatoe juice at movie. I can drain a can of tomatoes I have at home to get tomatoe juice if I don't want to go…

Why are you selling? So cute. what year miles, what is broken, etc, price?

Hi I just exercise at home to CDs. I have a step I go up and down,and sometimes I jog in the attic, or maybe around the block and alley. I stay close to home and don't like transportation and parking time. I usually have on pajamas or some around the house stuff. I tuck my pants into my socks so that I never get my toes…

1/3 cup orange juice, 1/3 cup canned unsweeteded pineapple 1 cup water 1/4 of a fresh apple 1/2 of a frozen ripe banana (very ripe is best) 1 large carrott fresh kale leaves to taste add more water as needed. I use a blender. Put the first three ingredients in. Start the blender. Take the cap of the lid off and feed the…

No transportation involved, no getting dressed for exercise involved, no space involved and watch a tv program to unwind while you exercise: Maybe I can help. I have a cd that plays just a clicking sound (tic, tic, tic, tic) at 124 beats per minute. Put on any tv program you want to watch to unwind. Simultaneously play the…

cardio half hour, leisurely stroll 3 miles, hire contractor, drink water, mailbox, buy cd, remember that taking coffee and dessert (which I could then not eat much of) and having sparkling water and playing with kids got me through a dinner ok.

ok, putting coffee in bag. Wish me luck . I eat to relax in social situations (I'm an introvert)

Why water with lemon juice?Just curious. Best to you.

keep the food diary. Get my 30 minutes cardio each day. Eat just 2 meals per day. Consider an easy stroll each day (3 miles ish), not necessarily in target heart rate range. Include beans and green drink daily. Practice eye movements Get my messed up knee fixed Take good care of husband when he gets his knee replaced. Just…

Ooh, good idea. I am back after two weeks of eating in restaurants, where I intermittently gave in and ate full portions - little exercise. Anyway I am back, and will up to 1400 any days I feel shortchanged. Thank you!

Hi: I did ok yesterday, so that is a good start!

Hi That sounds like a great idea. BUT, I am sort of scared to get on the scale. Maybe if I watch what I eat I could set a goal of getting on the Scale Jan. 1 and then sort of modify your goal to lose 15 by Easter. I am so scared to get on the scale.

I wish someone would tell me what button to push to reply to a certain comment on this thread. Please tell me if you can. Thanks. LTS

Poster here. You all have been so helpful. So many hints to be gleaned from all this. Thank you so much. I have been pretty on track for 3 days, but am not trusting myself yet because I have been down this path so often. I did think of a fun hobby I can do for a treat. I am just now on 1200 calories and realizing how many…

Thank you for your reply. I am starting a lacing project to help keep me out of the kitchen. Also I have put a big glass of water by the entry to the kitchen to remind me that I do not have to feed my face every time I am near the kitchen.
