Thank you for your opinions! I did lose weigh a few years ago ( almost 40 lbs ) by eating right and walking. After a life change - buying a house, working more, exercising less - I gained it all back. Now - I joined this health program and have been logging my food every day, getting more exercise, and its just frustrating…

We are all here for you because we all can experience this - I just lost my mother very unexpectedly and for 2 months did not log or watch what I ate. I even purposely ate junk food because it made me feel a little better during this difficult time. I am definately paying for it - I was down 15 lbs and gained back 8 lbs…

I eat the 2% cottage cheese because the fat free just doesn't taste as good. I add grape jelly to my cottage cheese - it's super delicious and I consider it afternoon snack or after dinner snack because its sweet but has protein to keep me feeling fuller (high content of casein protein a longer-lasting protein) . The…

Great post and info. Thanks!

Yep, i know the feeling. I live in what can be consider Beer City: Milwaukee. I have a microbrewery down the street and taverns on every corner. We are know for binge drinkers and drunk driving, etc. Drinking is the norm here - but yes - ever since starting my most recent weight loss program - my bartenders miss me. I do…

I definitely see a change! I wish I could have lost that much myself - I have a similar body image and over the last month and a half I really can't see the different myself - but I can just start to feel it in my clothes. Just a smidge looser. Keep it up - healthy weight loss doesn't happen over night. Those peeps on the…

I can agree - and also cannot stand my reflection - but hoping to change that this year. Thanks for the motivation! :flowerforyou:

I know you may not want all your friends to know when and how often you have sex but like i said - sometimes it can be a motivational tool to burn some calories!

Also - there's a cool site called Earndit - which links your Fitbit or other trackers to the site to earn points And points = rewards like gift cards to healthy businesses, and clothing, etc. I just joined about 2 weeks ago and already have earned enough points for a gift card for Klutch club box delivery. Click on my link…

I have a Fitbit One - and love it It keeps track of steps, stairs, and sleep, also calories burned It has a screen and shows a flower growing based on how much activity you do I also has your name and has personalized messages like - " pick me up Dori!" if I haven't moved in a while I've also seen it say BonJour Dori and…

Feel free to add me as a friend - my fitness program goal is 22 pounds but if I can keep up the 1 lb a week calcuations - I could hit 50 by Dec 31st!

Interesting article - i keep the idea of anything in moderation or less is okay. I will have the occasionaly diet soda - but over the last 7 years - my house has stopped keeping soda in it. We drink water and sometimes if we get sick of water - we do sugar free, lo or no calorie drink mixes like fruit punch. Just an idea -…

That is super awesome and very inspiring! Congrats and thanks for the motivation!

I learned from Dr Oz and noticed from trying that I like taking half a mutli-vitamin in the am and half in pm with breakfast and dinner. Absorbs better, less waste

:wink: Just to throw it out there.... I don't count the 60 cal per hour burned while sleeping. If i'm riding, I don't count, if I'm driving, a longer than normal trip, I'd count it! Just my opinion.
