I'm not eating any processed foods or any fast foods...So far today I've had a soy yogurt cup, a grapefruit, a glass of juice, and a granola bar....and I'm STILL hungry and it's ony 10:30 am!

I've been really good and staying within my recommended ranges, but I am still feeling a great deal of hunger. It seems like I'm ALWAYS hungry and looking at the clock to see how close I am to the next meal/snack. I'm 2 weeks in...is this going to quit soon? Will my body quit crying about it's loss of junk? help!! :frown:

I am SO going to enjoy my peanuts today!! Thanks yall.....I HOPE she says something....anything....I'm ready for her....grrrrr:grumble:

That's funny! I'm celebrating 1 year of quit smoking this week (yea me!! :bigsmile: )and when I smoked, my excuse for not quitting was fear of gaining weight. My kids pointed out that was pretty logical; at least I would look good in my coffin! LOL

I know! They're packed with goodness! She's going to be shocked some day when she hits her 40's and realizes how little she knows about dieting! :laugh:

I had someone just this morning catch me as I was checking the nutrional content on a bag of peanuts. She said, "I can tell you right now without even looking, they're fattening. They're peanuts! Duh" How rude! They're better than that candy she has on her desk! She's one of those people who have never had a weight problem…

impressive weight loss! we welcome the powerful inspiration!! :flowerforyou:

HA!! :laugh: :laugh: I can relate to that!

Yea for you!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Thank you for those very inspring words. That is exactly what I needed to hear today. :flowerforyou:

Thanks yall!

Am I supposed to weigh meat before I cook it or after?

my husband, the electrician, who won't change a lightbulb public restrooms with no toilet paper and you don't notice it until you've already started going dog hair people who leave sit their glass on the wood of the end table instead of the glass. why is that anyway? glass doesn't mind water.....wood hates water....cut the…

doctors that ALWAYS run behind schedule but expect YOU to reschedule if your late! my husband when he leaves the toiletpaper sitting on top of the roller thingy instead of putting it ON the roller thingy people who don't replace garbage bags when they take the trash out hair left in the drain after a shower walmart

I guess I'll have to get the clothes off the bowflex, huh? But....what would be high in calories and low in carbs, fat & protien? Don't the calories have to come from one of those things?

After posting my food so far, I have calories left over to consume. I need some ideas of something that won't exceed these leftover units: calories: 396 Carb: 12 Fat: 12 Protein: 17 Ideas??

I bought the book Skinny B*tch. (FUNNY---and, very good read!) Although I haven't gone vegan (yet)--or eliminated my coffee, but, I have reduced the amount of meat I eat and have eliminated all dairy--soy "dairy" only now. And, the big kicker--no artificial ingredients of any kind. That's the hard part--but, man do I feel…

I discovered a wonderful "feels-too-good-to-be-true" lunch this weekend: Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich: 400 calories, 50 carbs, 34 fat, 22 protien. Smucker's natural creamy peanut butter and smucker's simply fruit strawberry on whole wheat! :smile: YUMMMY!! I felt like I was being bad...but I wasn't!

I'm SO jealous! My daughter and I went for the first time last spring. I loved EVERYTHING. The Lion King was my favorite. Be sure you PLAN your daily activities or you'll be too overwhelmed to see a lot.

Guess I AM hippie! But, not forever! :)

a volkswagen with mod flowers on it-- I'm a hippy at heart.

oh, yeah, all good mommies have their days. My mom made me walk for a week on a broken leg when I was 5! :ohwell: I could walk okay, but every time I jarred it by jumping or something, I would cry until I passed out! She figured, after a week of that, something MUST be wrong! I told my daughter to get back in her soccer…

Good for you!! :happy: We CAN beat those evil co-workers by showing them we have the will power to be smart eaters!

Quite the talent! I'm truly impressed!!

thanks! So true, people DO pressure us sometimes. It was embarassing, really, because the girl serving made a BIG deal out of me saying no--and not in a supportive way, either. It was quite rude really.

I turned down birthday pie (lemon icebox, too...yum)! I'm really proud of myself. I've been well-known in my office as a sugar addict. They were shocked to hear me say, "I pass." Some people can diet and eat the occasional sweet still. I can't. Like any other addiction, I have to steer clear or I lose control. I do give…

Thanks. I've heard the same from so many people! I'm really excited to see what everyone is talking about when they say that its' the greatest thing ever! I don't like saying that I'm going to be a granny or a grandma though..That's where the name "mimzy" came from. I want to be a "mimzy" instead! :smile:

Wow! That's great information! I didn't realize that excess protein would be stored as fat. I suppose I need to keep an eye on that number too. ....and I suppose I'll have to increase my activity a little bit today to help out with my excess.

thanks! That makes me feel a little better.

I tend to go over on my protein intake...will that hurt my success? I'm staying at or below all of the other categories. I always thought the more protein the better. Am I wrong?
