Thank you DeMayr...that was well said.

Thank you, I totally agree.

Yes, I have heard of the placebo effect...and if that is what it is, then I am fine with that. I don't really care what is making me not hungry, my mind or the coffee bean, as long as it is working and it is not hurting me, it is not a waste of my money. For those of you that have tried it and not lost weight, there are…

I cannot argue with all of you who say that the green coffee bean that I am taking is not what is making me feel full. I do not know for sure, maybe I am getting sick or something. I will say this though, I was always hungry before I started taking it, I was eating out of control and was feeling very depressed about it. I…

Hi, I just started taking Green coffee bean extract with raspberry ketones. I do not think it is a magic pill, of course it isn't, there are none of those. It is a helper. I have a very hard time with will power and knowing when to stop and knowing when I am full. I was taught to clean my plate and I usually do, so I have…

Just FYI...it is super easy and cheap to make yourself too. I have a great recipe if you want it let me know!

I slice up red, green, yellow and orange bell peppers and dip...love it! Sometimes baby carrots and triscuit crackers. It is good on pretty much any cracker, pretzel or chip that I have tried. Try bagel chips, maybe you will like it better. I use the roasted red pepper flavor and love it!

I have been doing low carb for about 7 weeks now and I have lost 20 pounds! I love it. It gets a bad rap from lots of people here on MFP but I have nothing but good side effects also. I was taking prescription heart burn meds everyday...I now have NO heartburn! YAY! I had irritable bowel syndrome...not anymore, my bowels…

No, you are no stopping! You have lost 50 pounds! That is awesome and it took a ton of hard work, don't waste all that work. I know how easy it is to get out of the groove. I do it all the time. I have not worked out since Thanksgiving myself and I really need to get back to it! Keep your eye on the prize. You can do this…

I have to agree with this statement..."I just went through this last year. Our divorced was finalized March 28th 2011. I say one of the happiest days in my life. I know how you feel. Take one day at a time and relax. I'm here I'd you ever need a friend to talk to. " LOL After everything you go through, it is a blessing to…

Hello, I went through a very hard divorce when I was 28 also. My daughter was 1 when her dad left! It was VERY hard, very painful and I had no one to turn to. I was very alone. All of my friends were his friends, his family was my family and of course they all stuck with him. We had moved to his town, and I had no friends…

I was wondering what kind of exercise tapes you are doing? If it is cardio or aerobic then it will be hard to use larger than 10 pound weights, at least it would for me. But if you are following a weight lifting, or total body workout kind of workout then heavier weights are good.

Oh and you may want to ask your Dr. about the contraceptive pills, maybe an alternative. Some of them, especially the ones that keep you from having a period, can cause weight gain, water retention and general hormone changes that make it hard to lose weight. I had this problem when I took shots to stop my periods because…

I do the same thing every week. My weigh in day is Saturday. When I wake up, I go to the bathroom and then weigh myself before I do anything else. This is the best time to weigh in. Usually by Monday morning I weigh again and I am usually up at least a pound, sometimes as much as 4-5 pounds! It is frightening, but nothing…

I hate exercise too and barely do any. I don't mind riding my exercise bike that much as long as there is something good on Tv. I do like the way that chic on bodyrocktv looks though and I may actually try that, I want that body, I probably will never have it, but I want it and when I want something I go after it. Make…

My brain is just fine too, and I have plenty of energy and I am alert and I do not faint or ever even feel faint. I used to get light headed all the time when I was low calorie, and I would get heartburn really bad, to the point that I had to take prescribed medication. I have not has either since I started low carb. If…

Great post! Go low carb! Since I have gone low carb I have steadily lost at least 2 pounds a week. I used to do low calorie and would struggle to lose even a half pound a week. I exercise at least 5x a week and I eat only good carbs from whole foods. No meal replacement bars, or shakes. I think that our bodies need some…

I have it, but I hate work out videos, so I have no idea whey I keep buying them thinking I will love them! LOL On the DVD it says on the back that it is 5 work outs (Total body, lower body, abs, cardio and yoga) and the total workout time is 50 minutes, so I assume they are 10 minutes each. Minus any talking and training.…

I have been doing low carb now for about 4 weeks and have lost about 15 lbs. I had to ease into it though, cause dipping to low carb after eating closer to 100 carbs a day makes me feel sick for a while, this time I eased into it and dropped about 10-20 grams of carbs a day until I was at 20-30 grams a day and that is…

Protein! Especially if you are weight training. I eat high protein and I am very rarely hungry. Try keeping your calories at 1600-1800 but making sure you eat lots of protein and see if you feel less hungry.

I am not an expert, but it is my experience that if I under eat, I don't usually work out, it is not good for my body. If I eat more calories I work out to burn some of them off. I do not like work out videos so I do my exercise bike, or the treadmill. Both are great for cardio, which burns calories. I also do some weight…

Sounds yummy! I am gonna try it. I make english muffin pizzas also, with lite muffins and they are great too! I am also a horrible cook, and I know your pain. I have ruined so many meals I cannot count them! I keep trying though cause I am learning that it is possible! Tonight I made some baked chicken nuggets that were…

Thanks! I did Google it but most of what I read was from big time weight lifters, or people who are training for something and really pushing their already healthy bodies. I am overweight and trying really hard to lose but not pushing it extremely hard, in my opinion. I do push hard in spurts, then go slow for a few, then…

Hello? Anybody? Wow, you could hear crickets chirping in here!

I needed to up my protein intake too, but I do not have time to cook eggs and stuff in the morning, so I got some whey protein powder and I mix it with skim milk in the morning and shake it up and drink, it is very good, tastes like chocolate milk and filling too.

This is exactly my problem this week, it keeps saying I am not eating enough, although I am eating all day long. But I am also not losing weight. I am very confused. I don't like to eat unless I am hungry.

I did the same thing yesterday. Gained almost 2 pounds and have had a very good diet this week and great workouts, don't sweat it, keep up what you are doing and make sure to let your body rest. In a few days they will probably be gone.

Your post sounds like I wrote it! I have the same problem, picky kids and pickier husband! If I cook healthy and say just eat it they all cry and wine and complain and go eat hot dogs and junk anyway, and I have wasted hours of my day cooking a good meal and cleaning it all up! I get so mad, and frustrated and I usually do…
