I had that problem, but now I don't seem to ever have it. I just eat slower, eat less than I use to and drink plenty of fluids. I use to sit eat tums and rolaids like candy. I would wake up with it, even throw up now and again. I would agree with going and getting checked out for other things to see if that may be more of…

I am trying to eat smaller meals or snacks throughout the day but not so much at dinner. I am finding that small works better for me between breakfast and dinner. I usually eat breakfast around 7:30, then by 10:30 I feel like I need a snack. Then I eat lunch around 12 or 12:30, nothing big, then a small snack around 3,…

I just bumped mine up to 1500 today. I am also exercising about 35 minutes , 5 days a week. I am curious to see how this turns out. Add me if you like.

Some suggestions....Drink more water, make sure you are going to the bathroom regularly, change up exercises to cause muscle confusion, sometimes resting and taking a day or two off sort of resets your system so when you get back on regular schedule you start losing again. Don't beat yourself up on days you go over on…

I'm 45. I usually accept everybody's add, so feel free to add me. The more support the better.

I was just thinking how I am much better as a person mentally and physically at 45 than I was in my early 20's. No kids in the house, can go out and do thing whenever I want without needing sitters, and all those people who told me once you hit your 40's it's too hard to loose weight just got proven wrong lol. In 7 months…

Homemade chicken and cheese quesadillas.

You are more than welcome to view my diary. I eat whatever I am in the mood for. I am down 41 lbs in 7 months give or take. I don't do strict diets because I don't stick to them. I have tried every diet and diet pill out there and not any of them work and if they appear to be working and next thing you know, you gain it…

Don't get so frustrated with fluctuations and plateaus that you just quit because it makes you think that you aren't getting anywhere. You push through and the plateaus will eventually go away and you will be right back to losing again. The fluctuations are going to happen no matter what. Water weight, time of the month,…

I like when I have 4 oz grilled chicken, swiss cheese slice and a slice of ham (chicken cordon bleu), steamed broccoli or a baked potato with reduced fat sour cream. Always fills me up and tastes good. Not high in calories at all.

I tend to think that taking a break does help. I was still watching what I was doing, but for a month I pretty well slacked off on a lot of things and wasn't really losing or gaining anything. When I got back on track it started to drop off again. I think taking time to let your body do some healing and keep you from…

Drinking coffee and watching Boogeyman.

If you feel hungry then eat, just pick healthy items. Maybe at least bump up to around 1400. You will lose the weight as long as you are in a deficit. If you want to eat more, exercise more. You don't have to starve and make yourself sick to lose weight. I was doing it in the beginning but when I bumped up my calories, I…

You have to lead by example, so keep doing what you are doing. If this is important to you then you do you. You can encourage her but don't be pushy about it. If she isn't ready to do it then all the talking in the world won't help. Something personal has to happen to her for her to get it in her head that this needs to be…

I see room for improvement but I don't ever expect to be perfect. I am a flawed person and that is fine with me. While I still see fat, I also see that I am in shock that I can wear a medium size top when it feels like I should still be buying my 2x's. They look awfully small to me but they fit me. I am in shock that I use…

I use to eat mine back when I first started out but I don't anymore. Not unless I am feeling really hungry like I need something more. If I am not hungry, I don't worry about it.

The only time I logged cooking was at Thanksgiving. I was cooking and prepping for 6 hours and barely sat down the whole time. Other than that, I don't count it. I do log gardening or yard work because that is only a once a week thing and not something I do every day and I usually spend quite a bit of time on it. Unless…

I just count calories and make sure I get at least 30 minutes of exercise in a day and drink plenty of water and green tea. That's it. I don't like to make this more confusing or difficult than it has to be. I eat what I want, I just portion it all to fit in my calorie goal which is 1400 calories. Sometimes I am under and…

I won't even go to White Castle anymore and not real fond of Arby's either. I found I could go home and make my own homemade chicken tenders and fries for less calories than 6 chicken rings. The sodium in those places are crazy.

I was going to kick my coffee with cream and sugar habit but got over it. I add it into my calories and plain powder creamer is only like 10 cals a tsp and sugar is 15. I am still losing weight anyway. I don't snack much if at all so I don't worry about it. I may cut out or cut down a lot of things but I am keeping my…

Recent NSV, buying size 12 jeans. I don't even remember ever wearing that small a size. I have been anywhere from 16-20. Also, I did measurements this morning and found since June I have lost 5.2" off my waist, 5" off my hips and 2" off my thighs. Love those NSV's.

My scale hasn't budged much either so I decided to measure instead. Turns out since June, I have lost 5.2" off my waist, 5" off my hips, and 2" off my thighs. I still weigh but when I get down about the scale not seeming to budge, the tape measure certainly keeps me motivated more. I myself have been thinking about laying…

I never gave up potatoes and I have lost 37 lbs since June. If I had to give them up I would be one unhappy individual. They are cheap and there are a ton of things you can do with potatoes. Soups, fries, baked, roasted, mashed, ect. Very versatile and a medium potato is only about 110 calories. Bake in a microwave 5-6…

I woke up. Always a good day when that happens :D

Wednesday and Thursday I probably ate more cookies and fudge and lord knows what else than I have eaten in six months. Loved every minute of it and between yesterday and the day before, I have lost 1.6 lbs and right back where I was before Christmas. I just been drinking a ton of water and keeping busy as well and walking…

Love egg drop soup! Now I can just make it myself anytime. Thanks for posting. :)

I love me some steak! Sirloin and ribeye are mostly what I eat though I do love a good t-bone. We have a smokeless grill we can use indoors and we don't season it at all. I don't like seasonings that cover the taste of the meat and I like mine medium rare.

I usually go online to look up the nutritional info of the restaurant I am going to and plan ahead for what I want. Also, I find sticking to things like grilled or rotisserie chicken, or some type of fish or seafood that is grilled helps a lot and of course starting with a salad but keeping most of the extras off of it and…
