i love mine with pears! yummm. sometimes i'll just put ground pepper on it.

i used to use the creamy milk chocolate flavor (or something titled like that) and i thought it was really good! i bought the french vanilla the other day because i wanted a vanilla one to add to some breakfast items, and you're right! the flavor is really heavy and i have to use only about a fourth of a scoop to be able…

I keep an office candy bowl as well....but i only keep things in that i don't seem to like that well. I have peppermint life savers, which everyone else seems to love but that i only eat about two a week after especially garlicky lunches : )

i did this same thing just last week! [sigh]

I also felt like this for a while when I first started on here. I had just cut my calories too low and decreased my carbs too much. Once I started eating more and adding a bit more carbs into my diet, I started feeling better.

haha, you want to talk about slow! it's taken me 4 1/2 years to lose 22 pounds : ) but it's stayed off.

just to be on the safe side, since there are different opinions on what equals the "waist", i measure both the narrowest part of my torso and what i call my "belly", which is basically the widest part of my torso....usually just under my belly button. this way i get both areas measured for good, uh, measure : )

well, that's certainly worth a try : )

YaY! thanks! now these are things that I can work with...especially after googling the next part (yes, i know, i'm a bit slow....) "Compute the number of calories that come from carbohydrates. Each gram of carbohydrates provides about 4 calories, so the number of calories that comes from carbohydrates is 4 x C, where C is…

now that is impressive! way to go!

hmm, I think i didn't state my question clear enough. I'm not looking to go "low carb" in my diet. I was trying to look for a number, if it's even possible, that you should stay under to consider it low carb. like, if a item of food has X amount of carbs in it, it's considered high in carbs. If i wanted to eat a low carb…

i'm waiting for this affect! it seems like that's the last place i lose from...well, there and my belly : (

haha. this was my method as well! now i try to throw things away BEFORE i make myself sick on them. but man, it's hard.

on my lunch break, i used to get suckered into a little shop that sold laffy taffy! i thought, what the heck, they're small....besides giving me cavities...i'm sure they helped put on my last 5 pounds. darn you laffy taffy!

thanks! bump for when i'm struggling

i count calories that come from supplements/pills/etc. i didn't used to, but man, some of them can really add up.

AWESOME!! what a wonderful surprise

"Not shy away from photographs and NOT making a goofy face to hide behind." now this is definitely a goal that i need to have!

ditto! you look fantastic!

i always wondered. when ever they pull out that remark about Marilyn Monroe being a size 12, well you know just by looking at her pics that she was definitely NOT a current size 12. she'd be like our current size 8, maybe

totally!

bumping for those times when this is EXACTLY what i need to hear

i'm curious about this as well, as i'm always over my sugar intake.

haha. this reminds me of a question my high school science teacher would ask in the beginning of the year to his new freshman..."which hits the ground faster, when dropped from up high, a pound of feathers or a pound of lead?" same concept.

per-FECT!!

perfect! lol.

what are you talking about?!? "not at all impressive". 10 pounds in 2 months is AWESOME! it's taken me almost 5 years to lose 22 pounds. so i think you're superstar!

way to go! and your legs look especially lovely!
