Shoot, I do know how to spell caffeine, btw. Dangit...

I lose weight faster if I eat back at least most of my exercise calories. It also makes me feel less hungry the next day. If i exercise at night I eat something small that night and then eat the calories the next day when I am actually hungry. I also frequently zig zag calories - one day over, one day under..

LOL, Wiggles!! My kids love making fruit salad! We just throw whatever fruit we have on hand in and toss it. No sugar added and we gobble it up guilt free!

You are going to be amazed at your progress. Just stick with it and don't be too hard on yourself. Slow and steady wins the weight loss race! Love you! Auntie G-

I was a 10 or 12 at that weight.

That is what I frequently do as well. I only wash my hair everyother day and one day I just wash my body and blow dry the sweat in my hair.

I top salads with fruit juice instead of salad dressing and other times I use mustard (its like a sandwich without the bread).

Don't give up! Even if you have a bad day, it isn't the end of the world. Just keep on going. You don't have to be perfect everyday to lose weight...just better than you were the day before. When you are learning anything new, it takes practice. Learning a new way to eat and move is the same way. You can not expect…

I did that for a while and lost weight but I was making a lot of other changes at the same time. I think drinking green tea works better. If you try the apple cider vinagar, be sure to use the organic kind with "the mother" in it. Also, you will want to sweeten it a little with honey or stevia because it is a strong…

it is ok to splurge on occaision and have mexican food. for your "everyday" taco salad, try black beans, and leave off the sourcream or use light sour cream. also try 2% cheese. i have found i don't really miss sour cream when i leave it off as long as i hook it up with plenty of pico de gallo. good luck!

I have similar problems and I am over 40! Really bugs me...anyway, wash your face BEFORE as well as after workout. That seems to help me. I also use a cleanser with salicylic acid. I have issues with sunscreen and breakouts too... so I feel your pain! Gina

I find that if I just eat a little something, even if I'm not hugry yet, it keeps me from binging later in the day. Try a yogurt or a piece of toast with peanut butter. I also keep little ziplock bags of mixed nuts and raisins that I grab as I walk out the door if i didn't have time to eat before I leave. Then I can eat it…
