So Delicious Dairy Free ice cream bars (http://sodeliciousdairyfree.com/ ) or 1 Hershey's kiss.

I leave liquid egg whites at work and make them in the microwave when I get in. It generally takes 1-1 1/2 minutes in the microwave to make a healthy and filling breakfast.

I just added you.

I had a gray suit size 14 in the back of my closet that I knew I would fit in one day. I laid it out last night to wear it today and IT'S TOO BIG!! The last time I tried it on I almost ripped the seams trying to squeeze into it. This is bitter sweet though. Sweet because it's too big but bitter because suits are…

Congrats on your success. Thank you for the diagrams, chart and food information. It is very helpful.

I agree, do not use diet supplements. You seem to be on a good track now. Just stick with it. I sent a friend request.

The best thing I have found for this site is to log everything, no matter how big or small; even if you know you are going to go over your allotments for the day. Being honest with yourself is very important. You can keep your diary private that way no one else can see it but it may be beneficial to have your friends see…

I just sent you a friend request

I have been on this site for a long time and it is great. There are many avenues for guidance and advice that will make you successful. You just have to keep going.

I lost an automobile tire=20 LBs

My dr just prescribed my Phentermine and I am a bit nervous about it. I have done a bit of research and am looking for some personal input from those who have taken it, primarily side effects.

Thank you everyone for your feed back. It seems that even though I thought I was on the right path, maybe I wasn't. You make good points about not being able to out exercise a bad diet. @kshama2001 - Physically, I generally feel tired most of the time but I am able to function. I have noticed that some of my clothes fit…

I have tried it before and made it through maybe 2-3 weeks and then gave up. I am going to start again this evening. Feel free to add me and we can hopefully get through the 90 days together.

Monday Check In: I had a great weekend filled with workouts, homework, family time, and trash tv time. This week is going to be super crazy as I have a lot of prep to do for my trips AND it is midterms week for one of my classes. I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. BRENDA

Sunday Sharing: I am so sore today!! I did a 30 minute intro to heavy bag boxing yesterday and I thought I was going to die and today my arms and shoulders are killing my. I am really excited that they are trying to bring this class to the gym. I hope they do and I can start taking it. I was able to leave a lot of…

Saturday Success: NSV this week, I did not slap the A-Hole who was talking badly to his wife in Wal-mart regarding her weight. He told her, very loudly, that he refused to buy her any more clothes until she got her fat a** to the gym and lost some weight. She looked so beat down and degraded. I offered her some words of…

Friday Fitness: My weekend is going to be jam packed again with school work. I also have to go shopping to plan for my work trip. This week is going to be CRAZY!!! Looking forward to a mini vacation with the hubby next weekend though! Have a happy Friday BRENDA

I'm with GrandmaKay on this as well. This is is a lifestyle not a diet. We have to find a balance of what works so that we can maintain a healthy lifestyle and healthy eating habits. At an even the food options are homemade or store bought. The database on here has a good mix so you can usually find the product or…

Imgbebe~ Welcome to the group! I feel your pain on the food when others are around. The best thing that I found that works for me is portion control. When there is an event at work or we are out to dinner or even in everyday life, I pay very close attention to how much I am eating. I do not like limiting myself on what I…

@skinnyjean and @grammywhammy~Thank you for the concern for my puppers but I did not feed him the grapes. He stole them and I initially freaked out too. According to my husband, who has had this dog for the last 15 years, this is a ritual with him. He likes grapes. He is fine though and this has not happened with me…

@BettJo~I’m sorry you are frustrated. How exciting that your husband got you some new workout equipment! CONGRATS!! Keep your chin up. You will get the hang of this, just keep going! @Oystereyes~I hope your knee and foot trouble goes away soon. Keeping things in order can be difficult when you have a lot going on. My…

@Susan~ Thanks for the encouragement. I plan on taking some special k bars and almonds, just in case. As for the munching, I have really had to put myself in check when I am studying. I wasn’t so bad with the snacking while on a road trip until I quit smoking. Now I make sure I have A LOT of gum to prevent the munchies…

@Soosun~ yes I had knee surgery almost 5 months ago. I felt so much better then the month between the injury and having the surgery. It has been a long process to say the least though. The stairs used to kill me. It has only been in the last few weeks that I have been able to walk up and down the stairs in my house without…

Soosun~ That sounds like a fabulous day. I love going to look at homes especially the expensive ones that I would never be able to afford! It’s good to hear that you are healing. I know the troubles with knees as I am still healing from knee surgery as well. Good luck to you and nice job on the walking. Monday Check In:…

@Robin~It was very difficult to make it through without snacks. I have some cucumbers cut up already for today, just in case. That should help me stay away from the snack cabinet. I will be at it again today with school work. Hopefully it won't be another 7 hours. 9 more months and I am done!!!! Sunday Sharing~I won a free…

@BettJo~I hope you get your treadmill fixed. Don't give into those "it wasn't meant to be thoughts" You can do this! The broken treadmill is just an hurdle, so jump! I am with you on the anniversary being a good time frame to focus on. My anniversary is in February and I am going to try to be back at the weight I was when…

Third Watch, YES!!! I spent 4 weeks laid up after surgery and watched all 6 seasons!! I love that show.

@Jean~ The worst is when I work with my husband. He refuses to stop and eat anything all day and after 12 hours of laying hard wood floor, I need food! I jus tell him that its feeding time and he knows that I am on the brink of being cranky which is never pretty! Good Morning Everyone! I got a pretty good workout last…

Good afternoon everyone. I hope you are all having a fabulous day. I am exhausted today as yesterday was a very long day. I left my house at 0530 and did not return until after 11 and I had to be up this morning at 0430. It has been a long yet productive day and I am ready to go home and sleep! Thursday Truth: I am super…
