I agree with throwing them out. I understand how you feel about not eating a few like a 'normal' person would. I don't eat sugar on the plan I am on but I had one day where I gave in and ate homemade cookies (cookies must be the enemy) and it shocked me that after almost two months of no sugar or simple carbs how easy it…

It takes awhile for people to notice when I lose weight too. I usually get remarks about my hair (for example: "Did you do something different to your hair"?) I want to say, "Yes I shrunk my body that is holding it up" Of course I don't say it but I sure think it :laugh:

My sister-in-law gave me this idea and it does work. Use powdered detergent to wash your sheets and towels. For some reason it makes them fresher than liquid.

I am on a program where I only weigh once every six weeks. This has been so hard because I have always been scale obsessed. Not weighing at least once a week (or more often) has been a big challenge for me but it is also very liberating. I notice my body changing much more without the scale telling me how I am doing.…

Thanks for the websites. I am running out of ideas and I appreciate the info:smile:

I don't know if this applies anywhere else but in my state(California) it is now a requirement to show the nutritional information at any dining out establishment. The Applebees in my town has the nutritional info on the table. If you don't see it I would ask them for it.

I make my leftovers into a yummy salad. Today I took 3 oz. of chicken off of a baked chicken we had for dinner and added about 1 tsp of barbecue sauce (I removed any skin or fat) I put a bed of field greens on a paper plate, warmed up the chicken and put on top of the greens, added 1/2 oz of feta cheese, 31 grams of…

I started out with 112 lbs to lose and then most recently when I started on this website I needed to lose 103 lbs. My last weight in puts me at about 88 lbs to go so I could use a lot of support. My only problem is I can only weigh every 6 weeks on the program I am doing. Could I be a part and only weigh in every 6 weeks?

I have lost 16 pounds as of March 8th which took about 6 weeks. I am on an eating plan called Prism and I use this web site to track my calories and exercise. I only weigh before I start the next phase so I won't weigh again in about 4 weeks. I work out at the gym on the elliptical for an hour and alternate or add a 1 hour…

Welcome Stormy. You will find a lot of support here. I have a lot to lose also so I know how hard it can be.

What is Kettleworx? I have a few Kettlebell dvd's and two 10lb Kettlebells. I found a class in my area and it kicked my behind. I think it is a great workout and I felt the results were amazing. I have noticed that Biggest Loser is using them as part of their workouts.

Welcome. This is a great site. I love the support from everyone too.:flowerforyou:

http://dr-oz-dieting-secrets.blogspot.com/2010/03/hcg-diet-dangers.html Another site to check before jumping on an old fad brought back again.

I was shocked to hear HCG has come around again. It was very popular in the 1970's and I personally know of two people who ended up in the hospital because of this fad. Anyone who eats 500 calories a day is going to lose a ton of weight without the hormone injection. One of the people I know who ended up in the hospital…

Hi and welcome. This is a great site to track your diet info and weight loss. There is a lot of support too.

I am not sure what this is. I belong to a gym and love using the elliptical. I do kettlebells at home. What ever you find that works to get you moving is great.

It is a weight loss program that is founded on Christian principles. There are some scriptures introduced but it is not preachy at all. It addresses food addictions. It is a really great program and I am in my 5th week with no sugar or white flour. It works for me. Their web site is www.pwlp.com

Thank you and yes, I would love another friend.

Hi Clovis: I am from Windsor, CA. I am on the Prism plan and I find this site very helpful. I am a grandmother of two grandsons and one granddaughter. They are all precious to me and like you they are a big motivation for me to take off the weight.
