Welcome. I have been on for around 25 days. I still love it. Good luck. This has really made me change my habits. I think about everything before I eat it. It's a wake up call when you see how many calories things have & how many you are consuming. Best of luck. If you log EVERYTHING you will succeed. Feel free to ad me as…

I'll try it!

Black Eyed Peas & Lady Gaga-they both have lots of songs with a beat.

If you log everything everyday you will see your habits slowly change because you are aware of what you are doing. U can't be in denial if the evidence is in front of you( if you're honest about logging). Slow & steady....

Anticipate & have some fruit & veggies ready for the grabbing!

Still in the basement after sirens. Think it's fine now though. Just some hail & thunder.

Wow. You're an inspiration!

Fruit salad, add a bit of vanilla yogurt to make it creamy. Cottage cheese & crackers or wheat bread w/ black pepper. Black beans- you can make them as a dip, a soup or cook them w/ onions, a can of diced tomatoes & green peppers. Add some chili, cumin, salt & pepper. Serve with a little rice or alone. Prepare veggies &…

Peanut butter & bananas!

Hmmmm.. This is interesting. I will try this. I try to plan bit if I commit by entering it, it would keep me on track I think. Thanks.

I gained weight with each of my 3 pregnancies. It's not so easy coming off is it? Good luck to you. It's great you are trying to get that weight off ASAP instead of just getting use to the extra weight. I slowly took most of it off but it was slowly. Remember to be consistent in your effort & you will win. Enjoy that new…

Thanks for posting. Can't wait to try.

I'm in! I ordered it Monday. Should get it tomorrow. Great timing!

Was going to join weight watchers because I wanted to be accountable. I looked for for a new iPhone app to count calories. I got addicted within a few minutes. I didn't even realize there was a website.

All good points. Habits, habits, habits. That is what is important. That being said I just ate 2 squares of dark chocolate instead of the apple I know I should have had but moderation is part of habit.

Feel freE to add me. I am trying to lose my baby weight too. I've had 3 & was up about 15 or 20 more than before. It's coming off & yours will too. Just log consistently even though you are busy. You can & will do it! Slow & steady always wins!

I make my own. It's so easy. Just a can of chick peas,a clove of garlic(I put 2 cuz I love garlic), & a tablespoon or more if u like of tahini. I make like 3 cans at a time & keep it in the fridge. I eat with pita, cucumbers or just a spoon!

Good luck. It's great! Log all your foods consistently & if you plan your meals just a little, you will be successful!

Feel free to add me. Good luck. I started 10 days ago & love the accountability & the support of all the great people on this site. Be sure to check the message board for lots of intresting info. You'll learn alot.

Trader Joe's Sesame Ginger. Its awesome!!!

Glad you ranted! A lot of us needed reminding. The last 2 days I went over a bit & was feeling disappointed but that's really crazy. The funny thing is had I not been logging it, I'd have no idea & no doubt eaten much more.

Thats strange. I have found everyone on this site to be such cheerleaders for each other. I think maybe it came out wrong? Its kind of a weird comment. Either that or someone was feeling bad about themselves.

I am also addicted to this site. Hopefully that's a good thing. :wink:

I have young kids too & have went up a bit with each child & have a time crunch problem too. Log every single thing that goes in your mouth everyday. I also agree with the planning. I try to mentally plan out my day in the morning so I can compensate for the dinner I am going to eat at a restaurant or the Lasagna I'm going…

Almond Milk-Vanilla Wheat Bread Total Cereal Grapes I don't even log my coffee. I didn't think it mattered due to the fact I drink it black.

These are some interesting posts. Snickers had some really great info I hadn't thought of. I was going to post, "not if I can help it" I try to treat my calories like a bank account but I guess that's really simplistic thinking.

I also love fresh or frozen green beans steamed & then tossed in a pan for just 2 minutes or so with a few drops of sesame oil, ginger, soy sauce & a dash of orange juice for some tanginess. I top with sesame seeds too if I have them. The whole family devours them. The fresh spinach salad w/craisins, almonds (or any nuts),…

I know. I was thinking the same thing. I love love love it. Another thing is you can see how you are doing in nutrients.

I use to have this during high impact aerobics class. I don't have it now when I run but I always wondered too.

I'm 5'4 started at 145 & my goal is 130. I would like to get back to 120 but not sure if I can keep it there though. I'll decide once I'm at 130. Hopefully soon!!!
