Ok, so you'll see this all over these forums...quick fixes are B-A-D! You want to loose weight quickly ..we all understand that, but if you try to do it by cutting out meals and nurtirents you not only loose some fat and water....you loose muscle too...AND you put your body at great risk of vitamin deficiency. Atkins is…

Welcome! I'm sure you'll find plenty of support here...these guys are fantastic! :flowerforyou:

We just left california last weekend and IHOP had pumpkin pancakes on the menu. :bigsmile: Drive safely. :laugh:

While I totally agree that its a service and not an obligation, I also agree that mom should have been notified. Here's the thing. ...beginning of the school year you get a form to fill out. Its sent to you by the teachers/schoolboard, you fill that out and send it back. Now my question would be this....how long has this…

A double Amen for me! I work in cancer therapy so we see lots of families struggling to make it. But I've heard some stories that would make your head spin. I was told by a co-worker who came from another facility....at her old job there was a patient who's family could not even afford to have electricity. The family…

WOO HOOO Yeay for you! Don't give up! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

It can also give you constipation and it can feed your desire for sweet foods. I still drink coke zero when I need a soda fix but its much less often now. If you have a hard time drinking straight water try cryrstal light or something of that nature.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: did you see this from the other day? Its on a thread here somewhere... Man chews through belly-busting 20-lb. burger CLEARFIELD, Pa. - It took Brad Sciullo 4 hours and 39 minutes to finish a marathon. A meat marathon, that is. The 5-foot-11, 180-pound western Pennsylvania chef is the first person to…

welcome to the family :happy: Jaime1987: you'll see this site all over the forums....try checking out www.hungry-girl.com if you're really into fast food. There are alot of good switches on there. There's also a cook book by the same ppl you can purchase but the website is free. Just keep in mind the trade outs won't taste…

drink looooottss of water and try to eat high fiber foods (they'll help you feel fuller longer). I would also try this trick (I do this alot!) ....if you've just eaten dinner and you feel like you're still hungry ...try drinking a big glass of water and wait 15 minutes. If you still feel really hungry eat the most healthy…

She admitted in a magazine not too long ago that she had a nose and boob job. But I don't think that was all she had done. She kinda looks like a barbie now. :happy:

Ok, so I like a few....I don't know what you're looking for but here are a couple suggestions from the peanut gallery lol.... Roxie Layla <= means "night" in arabic Bella <= means "beautiful" Brenna <= means "little raven" in Irish

Welcome to the both of you!!

Ya know ...I've never understood why it is people think just because your pregnant they have a right to touch you. I mean...if I'm walkin down the sidewalk or through the mall...I've never had someone come up and rub my belly. Why would they feel its ok just because I would be pregnant? :grumble:

being down here in the south...I drink lots of tea lol. I usually just count half of what I drank towards my water intake. The drink is based in water, and though its caffinated its extremly diluted ...unless we're talkin about hot tea. I just figure its midways so at least I accounted for both.

My Atkins loving husband can't get out of that "no gray area" mentality either. For me ...I know that there are days where I'm going to crave carbs/chocolate/sweets, and there will be days where I want protein/veggies/and maybe some salty food. I try not to see it as rewarding or denying myself anything. I try to see it…

Hey Hey! Another Florida girl here! Lemme just say ....I totally agree with you. Its way to frickin hot lol. I swim at the local gym too if I have the time. Its a nice change of pace from the heat and humidity outside.

OMG I do the exact same thing. I hate when I feel like I NEED something I know I shouldn't eat. Like I stand in front of my pantry having a stare-down with the cookies and snacks. And it would be easier if they weren't there, but I know all to well that I'll just get the really bad stuff when I'm in town or at work. So…

They do, its kind of like you do here. You give your weight and how much you wanna loose and they estimate your points per day based on that. Here's a great article on how that stuff is calculated. http://www.healthyweightforum.org/eng/articles/weight_watchers_points/ But I know from dealing with my husband ....most people…

Maybe I should have titled this your most hillarious "Are you pregnant?" story lol

don't worry about it hun, you're doing a fantastic thing for your body. I usually start gaining weight the minute I lift a weight, heavy grocery bag, or backpack. lol Your building muscle mass, strengthing your body, fortifying your future! Sorry...I get excited about weights lol. Just remember if you feel your bulking up…

Ohhh I totally agree! I think dancing is the greatest way to loose weight. Its so much fun it doesn't even feel like exercise. You can get everyone in on it. Get a little jam session going on. :happy:

Thank you sooo much! :love: Congrats to you too! :drinker: And everyone else who's working so hard! I've got my skinny jeans waiting in the back of my closet....by the time I can wear them again ...hammer pants will probably be back in style and I'll be screwed. lol :laugh: :laugh:

awww you poor thing! I worked with a lady once who was very large....and had no intention of trying to loose weight. Every night she worked she would bring in dinner to eat when she got there, and she also ate at least $40 of sushi on her own that she would order later. And she only worked an 8-10 hour shift. One day she…

Ok, so I haven't been able to check into the forums every day and log my foods/measurements. Actually ...I still can't find my dang measuring tape lol. But I've been quickly sticking my eats in my food tracker to make sure I was accountable! I stepped on the scale this AM and I was so estatic!! 4lbs Lost 4lbs Lost 4lbs…

Ok...so this can be anything you want it to be but I'm gonna start with this one... Two days before my wedding, (in Tennessee) we stopped in to a local Super Walmart to get some snacks and lunch. Making our way back to the deli counter, I tell the lady working that I'd like to have some chicken wings. I order a dozen of…

absolutely NOT!! I think its better that they know that alternatives are out there. I mean I grew up in a house hold where we didn't eat alot of veggies. I only recently learned how much I love tomatoes. I wish someone had been around to teach my family about healthier alternatives ....maybe I wouldn't need to be here now.…

I like Zone bars. I don't know what kind of stuff your into but my favie is the cinnamon roll. They also have lots of chocolate ones (graham, mint, ect) and they even make dark chocolate ones too. The thing I like the most is that they taste like a full fat cereal bar but they are protein bars that are very filling and…

There's a huge billboard near the interstate on my way home for a local doctor. I look at it and laugh every day. Some woman of normal size is standing there saying: "I lost 60lbs in 6 weeks.....and I kept it off" Whatevah!!!!! :noway: I agree with you tho, I really do feel bad for people who think that stuff like this is…

You'd be surprised how fast that 2500 points can go. Even in seemingly healthy food. I have a higher calorie level since I'm a fluffy one, but take my Foods for today for instance. Now I realize that a great deal of this is processed, but I work 40 hrs and am taking 3 classes this semester so I don't have tons of free…
