Try it: If it works for you then it perfect, if it doesn't then it isn't. Just do your research and make sure no matter what diet you try, you consume less calories than your body burns. I did do the atkins diet but I couldn't maintain it, but I learned a lot from it. I now do a 0% natural and/or refined sugar, medium net…

I log my weight on the 1st of each month. Start MFP weight: Sept 24th - 231 Start weight for Challenge - 199 Goal Weight for Challenge - 179 Ultimate Goal Weight:154 Lbs to Lose: 45 1st time I've ever done one of these challenges, rather excited lol..... Didn't think I'd ever hear myself say that about a weight loss…

I'm in for the challenge, did only have 35 more to loose, but added another 14 on so now 49 to go, so lets see if I can do the 20 by Easter :)

Take this opportunity to plan your revenge. Get to your goals, be proud of yourself, feel like the sexiest woman alive, get dressed up all hot and sultry, go to where ya know he normally hangs out, and flirt in his face, and when he tries to chat you up again, as people like that always try, say, F you? no chance, my…

@melimomTardis yeah I hear ya on that one, smiles :)

Check back in a week, see what kinda responses come forth lol Have fun with ya posts, and please, be creative, especially the ones who disagree with what i put grinz Loves a good deep discussion, smiles

@BuddhaMom74 you do have a point there, reason I said I thought it wasnt to food itself, but to components of it was, an alcoholic will drink virtually anything, a drug addict tends not to care what kind of drug they get as long as it gives them the fix, exceptions to all rules of course. Where food addicts per say tend to…

good advice yoovie :) Reason I never trust medical profession lol I waiting to see what people put, am sure it will make for a great read, mmm... Ponders...... Will I get my first 5 flagged post? Will I get a ton of pages of comments? Will yours and mine be the only comments ever? Bites nails... Watches excitedly. No…

Was going to type up a really long reply to this thread, but, that sentence says it all... Perfectly said sweet lady.

I think of online as an extension to real life, so if someone not like me here, you won't like me rl either lol. One thing ya can do online though which sadly ya can't do in the real world, is block all the idiots you come across. lol

I not quite a woman yet but working on it lol. Did have 63lbs to loose now down to 49lbs. I think best advice I can give you all is, rather than doing multiple things to loose, focus on just one thing, so if it weight loss specifically, then focus just on loosing weight, don't worry about exercise and all the other things…

Mine super simple between 100 to 150 net carbs between 7 to 10 sugars sodium within daily amount and cals tend to work out at around 1000, but can vary meal to meal depending on food types. So far it working awesome for me with no exercise, and diabetes auto taken care of too :)

For me I track to control my diabetes, and sodium levels to keep my BP under control, I guess i'm just used to it now after 3 years, but I only eat the foods i love and don't care if they so called healthy foods or processed foods, just as long as it works for my diabetes, and BP, so probably the reason why i'm enjoying…

Hi Crown, Very sorry to hear about your situation, I went through something kind of similar as a child with my dad and step mom, so can relate a little to how you feel. 1st off: Set goals you know you can realistically achieve, and reason I say that is, if your feeling as you put it worthless and grounded down to your…

Think of it this way: A: I am strict, to teach you discipline. B: I am fine, I don't need any A:: I challenge you to do this without question for 3 months B: but but but grrrrrr A: If you have no addictions or anything then you will do this to shut me up once and for all.... B: no reply. lol Better to challenge than fight…

Nothing personal, But ya partner sounds like a right jack *kitten*. All me me me. When in a relationship, doing stuff ya not always keen on comes as part of the package. He should be bloody thankful that your trying to keep in shape and look after yourself. Tell him to STFU and either support you or not, ya not bothered…

I hears ya, I used to be a 56" waist, now a 46, so had no option but to buy, but at time was 47" so trousers came in 46" and 48", so thought nuuuu not fair, best get 48" just incase... and yes ya guessed it, had them a week and now 46" Cries And new shirt now too big too, but least not as big as other ones... lol It going…

I'm a diabetic so I had to cut out sugar, as my insulin resistance is extremely bad. I went from drinking tons of sugared pop and juices daily to absolutely nothing, and yes, the withdrawal was super bad. Took me 2 months to finally get off all forms of sugar, both natural and refined, but it was best thing I ever did.…

I used to have real bad sugar cravings, more i had more i craved, and didnt matter which kind of sugar it was, natural or refined. But when faced with choice go blind or give it up, knew I had to do it. The 1st 2 months coming off sugar completely, OMG, was wayyy bad, so now I am very strict with myself, am ok at home, but…

if it was sugar free candy mmhmm nom nom nom it all, but I just can't have any form of sugar lol.. so not for me, but those who can, enjoy it lots :)

I always thought I could never give up sugar, I found having alternatives like fruit was just as bad, (Nothing wrong with fruit of course), I just found it just as addictive, kept fooling myself that I was ok because it was a healthy food. I had to look at sugar like an alcoholic looks at drink, one is one too many, and…

It is true the slower it takes to loose the more you learn along the way, helps stop you falling back into old habits. I turned 40 in september, and it has been the start of a new life for me, but dont worry about actual loss, as long as your staying stable, and feeling healthy, the weight will come in time, just plod…

easy to tell those who want you for you and not for how you look, 1st: don't screw them on first date. 2nd: spend time listening to them, if they shallow they soon say something to make you realise. smiles....

yeah, every so often i stop taking my codeines usually for a week or two, and it not a nice feeling going cold turkey with them, was same coming off amitriptyline many years ago, and others. So as others have said, talk to your doctor, do it safely, the after effects really can be super bad.

The thoughts of food never leave, would actually be dangerous if it did, as then you would constantly forget to eat and end up being just as bad other way. For me, and it differs for everyone, I had to hit that point in life where I had a goal that couldnt be left any longer. I hit 40, and thought, thats it les, you either…

If you want some advice, pick a day, and go through everything you have in your cupboards, fridge, freezer, and scan all the barcodes, and check all the foods in your mfp list to the packages so you know they are all right. Then you can plan your meals ahead, so if your over calorie on one combo, it easy then to remove one…
