Thanks for this post - we all need the reminder now and then :)

Ahh, i feel your pain. Try a multi-vitamin. A good one. That's what broke my 11 week plateau. I tried everything that you did, and I'm not sure there is a concrete answer. Everyone is different, but that worked for me. It took a week, but in that week I lost 1.4 lbs. I weigh in again soon, so I'm hoping for more. Best of…

My side of the river is sunny and happy too ;)

I agree - completley. Glad to have some thoughts confirmed. I will now and forever always compliment changes in others. And more importantly I will pay closer attention to others around me - everyone deserves recognition!

I always enjoy your ideas! Thanks ;)

agree. very much so!

worst thing about being fat was/is knowing my husband deserved better. Best thing about getting skinny - I deserve it! (and my husband too)

Popcorn. take a long time to eat and you can air-pop - which gives you room to add as you please!:wink:

Admin assistant and I love my job ;)

It is a very difficult fast. My experience - you will lose weight after 21 days however it will all come back on once you stop. I don't believe 3 days will cause damage, however - be careful. This fast is not to be used unless you are very aware and careful. Reeligous reasons are why its commonly used, so of course you…

great work! i love surprises.

I'm 5'5 and I weigh 166. I wear a size 14 --- I've lost 18 pounds and still wearing the same size. They are loose, but 12 is too snug. I carry weight in my gut so I buy pants to fit my waist which leaves me with a saggy booty but my tummy isn't cut in half! Great thread!

I would say everyone is different. For me, I hold onto sodium for about 2 days. I have to consume a large amount of water the day after eating a lot of sodium in order to drop the 2 usual pounds I gain. I go by this concept ( and again, everyone is different) 1. I never eat two items from a can in the same day. This is…

Me too : /

Congrats to you for walking 3 hours! Wowzers. that's a long walk. I think there isn't a safe way to lose 22 lbs in 5 weeks, but what are the chances that you will eat, exercise and consume the same amount of water for the next 35 days? Not likely. Error, maybe. The end result might be to think about consuming more calories…

Welcome abaord ... Again. Best of luck on your journey! Keep up the positive attitude!

I'm in!!! Let me know what to do next!...this is my first time doing a challenge!

this should clear things up for you! Seems as though it's normal. Keep working hard and stay focused! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/9433-expectations

agree. nothing safe about 800 calories a day! calories in < calories out = weight loss .. But 800 isn't enough.

Be sure to check them all out...there are 30 of them! Use the previous button on the top. Amazing how sandwiches that sound healthy are HORRIBLE for you! Tricky but good to know!

Amazing. You are Amazing!! Great work!

Maybe you will have to make a choice...eat salad everyday, eat something that isn't good for you, or FIND time to make a lunch that will leave you with energy for the rest of the day! Its all about choices...and you have many. Stay positve and think outside the box! You will find time for anything you REALLY need or want!!…

the scale is the devil

Welcome!! Great to have you with us.

Thanks all!! I will use your knowledge and experience the best I can. Opening your food diary is scary! Also, I spelled losing wrong! Lol. Thanks again

I have opened my food diary for you all to see!! Only because I want some more help. I increased my calories the last two days...hopefully it helps. Thanks all

Good lord- I don't even know how many calories I was eating before. I will. Increase my calories to 1500 and see what happens. Explains why I'm always hungry! Thanks all :)

Thanks so much. Im still feeling the like the only person in the world who changes so much about my life, and nothing rewarding happens. But, I will up my calories and fiber. :) I'll be back one day soon to update my weight!

Yes, I am drinking 8 glasses a day...I'm doing this honestly and trying really hard. It's just a bummer to have no reward at the end of two weeks :(
