Here is what I have learned..you have to look at were your sugar is comming from. If it's from fruits and veggies, I wouldn't pay it much attention unless you are ungodly over because it can cause you to stop losing or even gain. If it's from the 12 chocolate bars you had then you might want to cut those out. It's kind of…

I have a junk night where I do just that. I try not to go overboard but I would recommend still logging your food. I think it's perfectly normal to do so otherwise I would not diet because I could never eat what I want

I understand. On my days off I allow myself an adult beverage or two and it's usually what puts me over. Hang in there!

She's an albino ball python by pink flowers. I guess that makes her more pink than normal. So yeah

It honestly could be water weight. Your eating things you probably wouldn't eat that tend to be higher in sodium especially if you've only gained 5 lbs. I ate chinese one day and the next I gained 5 lbs, well everyone knows that chinese food has a lot of sodium so I didn't sweat it. So my advice to you is enjoy your…

I was told green apples and berry's are what you want to eat. As far as exercises you want to do side crunches

oh Yeah bump on this one I want to make it! I don't know how many times I crave pancakes or frenchtoast only to tell myself no

There are protein bars too. Steel cut oats, which is oatmeal but better. I know smartones has breakfast stuff, kashi has waffles

Muscle and fat weight the same (sad but true myth), which is why you probably see inches lost but no actual weight on the scale.

I try to but most of the time I can't unless I'm eating junk. I also try to net 1200 and then I feel right about it but sometimes I don't even make that.

your supposed to eat 50 to 70 % of your calories back at least, all of them is recommended. If you know your going to do something and it burns alot you can plan for it throughout the day. Like I have karate at night so I will make a few meals bigger. You need to replenish after working out as well so it's not all that bad…

ok as I understand it and you said it best a pound is a pound either fat or muscle. But you can lose fat, gain muscle and not lose weight because it's displaced. You will however still lose inches because you've lost fat. Is that still confusing because it makes sense to me

I LOVE heat in just about anything. I once dryed jalapenos and added it to a chex mix but I'm sure you can add it to popcorn and it would do the same. Add crunch and heat. I even put them in hummus and jerky

I was told Stevia was the best sweetener out there but you have to make sure it's the natural one, and that was by a doctor. Just like to add a bit of protein to every meal will also help take the weight off. All I was trying to get at with the soda thing was that things are ok in moderation.

I love the Taste of Home Comfort Foods Diet Cookbook. They have a lot of recipies in there and I haven't made one I didn't like.

Since I have to work it will be tomorrow but ..it very will be!!

ooo I would like a copy please!! enchanted_nightangel@yahoo.com

First find something you really like doing. For me it's karate. You are accountable, people ask you where your at, and you have to keep up on the material. If you don't like doing it, it makes it more difficult. The other thing that motivates me and it's kind of messed up, logging my food. If I have something I really want…

I have an awsome job sometimes and I run into the neatest people. The other day I had an event that one of the guests was a digestive specialist. She said that it's good to add protein to each of your meals, including your snacks and watching your portions, because it will aid in your weightloss. Her exact words were if it…

Beer is something I LOVE. I have limited to days off. If I have to work the next day it's a no no. My job is so crazy sometimes I will only get a day off every 2 weeks. So I figure I'm entitled for a little relaxation. Most of the time by then I will have one or two and be passed out on the couch due to exhaustion, not the…

I had a bad Dr.Pepper addiction. I forced myself to drink diet and because I didn't like diet I wouldn't drink as much and went then right to water where when I had Dr.Pepper I would have a few. You have to want to stop it and not cave. I wanted to be thinner much worse than I wanted the DP. I will still have the…

I haven't yet but I can tell my cloths are fitting better. Just don't give up!

I say as long as your within your calories it shouldn't matter. However if you could eat a bigger breakfast and a smaller dinner you can gaurentee that your not going right to sleep and your food is digested, which is why they say to have your big meal early. But it's whatever works for you. Beer is my downfall. I limit…

I've taken it and I didn't see much of a difference in anything. I mean the green tea is good for you so at least your getting the benefits of that but I wouldn't be expecting a great burn or anything out of it

Hmm I didn't know I could do that. Because a lot of times I work out in karate late in the day and don't get to eat the rest of them, but then the next day I wake up starving...this could work.

I'm sure you could always add turkey and/or beans and make it a meal too

I'm single as well and all my friends are married or getting married so I know how you feel.

I'm here for you!

Well I opened up my diary for people to look at. I know I'm not lacking in protein because I talked to a digestive specialist and she said when you were losing weight to add protein to every meal and it will help take off the weight

experiment with seasonings and your popcorn. I have made some delicious popcorn without butter. Hummus is great with veggies, home made beef jerky...just some ideas
