I used to drink Diet Pepsi all the time and I constantly got these terrible headaches. I went to the doctor about my headaches and she asked me if I drank diet soda. I told her I did and she told me I was probably allergic to the diuretics that were put in diet sodas. I quit drinking diet drinks all together and the…

I have stocked up on Dr. McDougall's soups & entrees. I get them in the Natural/Health Food section of the grocery stores and they are quick & easy to fix. They are low in fat and calories, but taste very good. The sodium varies on each one. You can purchase the "low sodium" ones online, but I have yet to find the low…

Oh, and what exactly are "planks"? Thanks and good luck to everyone!

My goal for this week is to get UN-stuck. I'm not losing and I didn't make my goal of 140 lbs by March 1st. I'm stuck at 141.5. I worked out 4 times this week, but I am thinking I ate too many calories. I've been getting really hungry in the evenings, after a sensible dinner, and I've been trying to snack on healthy, low…

I apologize for not knowing this, but what is ONEderland?

LW: 142.8 CW: 142.2 I didn't get to the gym as much as I wanted to this week. My goal is to get to the gym everyday this next week. Also, I need to drink more water. I need to lose 12 lbs by Memorial Day weekend. My BFF and I are going to Florida to lay on the beach that weekend. :happy:

It was a good week for me. I weighed in at 142 lbs. this morning, down 6 lbs in 6 weeks. If I stay steady and lose 1 lb a week, I will reach my goal weight by my 50th birthday, in 18 more weeks. Hopefully, by losing the weight slowly, it will be easier to keep it off. I've probably lost more inches than pounds, tho. My…

I have to tell this sweet story...I started my new lifestyle, to be healthy & thinner, on January 4th. I hadn't seen my grandsons for a couple of weeks, so on January 26th, after a 4 lbs loss, I went to their place and my youngest grandson, who is 8, comes up to me and says "Grandma, are you losing weight?" I started…

I think I missed week 5 and I don't know how that happened. Anyway, I got to the gym 4 times this week and my weigh-in this morning has me 5 lbs less than when I started this journey on January 4th. I've changed my lifestyle so much in the last month and I am amazing myself with my new found willpower to be healthy! I look…

Hang in there, Heather! Set some short-term goals for this next week. That is how I have to live my new lifestyle. I feel goal-setting is a very important part of the weight loss strategy. Move on now and get back on track. Put the past in the past and live for today. Take a deep breath and exclaim "Today is the first day…

Lean Cuisine is a processed food product. Processed foods are so bad for our bodies. Shop the outer isles of the grocery stores. Stick with fresh foods (or frozen) only. Whole grains, fresh veggies, fresh or frozen fruits, the leanest cuts of meat, etc. Spend more time in the produce dept than any other dept. I used to eat…

This is AngelBunny! My goal this week is to get to the gym everyday and do, at least, a 15-20 min. cardio workout. I'm getting addicted to working out after 4 weeks! I thought that would never happen to me! I feel so much better when I workout. My stress level is down and I have more energy. I've been very good about…

Tummy crunches & sit-ups are the secret to getting rid of flabby stomachs.

Great job!! You look so much thinner already! How are you getting the belly fat to go away? Is it just eating a certain type foods? Or, is there an exercise that is helping? I have the same belly that you did in Sept. I want to have a flat belly and I have heard there are special foods you can eat to get rid of the "dunlap…

I was so sorry to hear the news today about Sarah. My thoughts & prayers are with her family & friends. She was a very talented woman and will be sorely missed by all that knew her, I'm sure.

My goal, for this 3rd week, was to make it to the gym, to workout, 3 times. I've been twice so far and I'm going after work today. I'm feeling stronger and I feel like there are a few inches off me from last week. My pants are fitting better. I am still struggling with the daily calories, but I have a goal for this…

Hi there! I'm new and I'd like to join your "In it to win it 2012" group. In the last two weeks, I've been faithful about logging on myfitnesspal.com and tracking everything I put in my mouth. So far, I've lost 3 lbs. I have become anal about reading the nutrition labels on everything I eat. I'm scared to put anything in…

My sister gave me Leslie's DVD for Christmas last year and I've never watched it. I belong to a gym, so I do my workouts & walking there. But, my sister says that Leslie's DVD is great! She still uses her's at home. She started with the 1-mile walk and built herself up to 5 miles. She looks great and feels great! I need to…

What is aff? I'm new, too.

:flowerforyou: trying to lose 20 lbs. by spring 2012. I would love to have buddies to share stories & tips with. Thanks, Angela

I love that quote! Your sister has the right idea, for sure. Are you new to myfitnesspal.com? I am. I signed up last year and never got on here. This year, I have to get heathy or it will kill me. My BP is out of wack and my eating habits are ridiculous. I'm addicted to sugar. I've tried all the diet gimmicks out there and…
