WATER, WATER, AND MORE WATER. For sweet cravings try oatmeal with cinnamon, berries and sugar or fruit. Also for salty cravings dill pickles are so good!!

Cocky

You don't have to go far. Just start by walking around your house. Anyone can do that! :):wink:

Definitely Eva Mendes!!( the brunette) The blonde, Dolly Parton!

Have you had the Atkin's protein bars: around 15-20 grams of protein per bar along with fiber and about 200-250 calories a piece. They are quite yummy!

Vitafusion is the brand I take: 2 gummies a day. I also take a B-100 complex (time-released), an acidophilus, an omega 3-6-9, and a D-3 1000

Did you add artificially flavored sweetener to your water? I had to cut that stuff out because of the same issue you are explaining. I feel so much better, now!

"If it fits in your day, it's okay". This is my motto!!

It causes bladder spasms and can wear out your bladder. I learned that the hard way by having to pee constantly until I cut 99% of it out of my diet. I still chew sugar-free gum but can't drink diet soda or drink mixes anymore. It makes me sad because I love diet soda and such!!!!! I switched to flavored seltzer water. It…

3500 calories = a pound. You will not gain any real weight if you don't consume an EXTRA 3500 over what you normally eat. So if you normally eat 1200 and you ate around 2000 for two days in a row...guess what? You only over ate 1600 calories which is only a half pound at the most. You didn't do anything that you can't fix.…

OH FUDGESICLES!!!!!!!!

Portion control is key. I eat whatever I want too just in smaller portions. People have problems when they deprive themselves all the time because the food is "bad" and then have a week of splurging and overeating the junk that makes them gain the weight back. I eat plenty of veggies and good stuff too but you can't give…

I'm 5 ft. 8 inches tall and my weight flunctuates between 135-140. I am in maintenance mode!!:smile:

I'm 5' 8" inches tall and my weight is zig zags between 135-140 lbs. I wear a size 6.

3 p.m. is the hardest. Lunch was 3 hours away and dinner is about 2 hours away. I crave the sugar and salt then!!

How about angel food cake with fresh strawberries and fat free Reddi whip? It may not be totally carb free but it's pretty low calorie for a dessert. You can also have chocolate dipped strawberries. Simple, sexy, and fun.

That's what I've heard too. I've heard that there is "better smut on the internet" if that is what you are looking for....lol.

The best advice I can give you is take it one day, and one meal at a time. Think of today not tommorrow. Did you make mostly smart choices? Did you give in to cravings using portion control so that you don't feel the need to binge? Did you exercise when given the opportunity. Everyday is a new start. Add friends, log in…

Diet soda can take a toll on your bladder~ it does mine. I stopped drinking it. Diet soda causes some people to have more bladder contractions making one think that he/she has to use the bathroom constantly. I really thought I was suffering from bladder infections but no bacteria was found. I stopped the diet soda and I am…

Grilled Bacon Cheeseburger on a Kaiser roll with lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo, ketchup, and mustard with Lay's sour cream and onion chips on the side....moderationand portion control is the key.

Do you use artificial sweeteners? I used to pee constantly when I used them in drink mixes and diet sodas but without them my bladder has calmed down.

One answer: I workout on my elliptical because: 1.) It's indoors. 2.) It gives me a good workout in 30 minutes time. 3.) It helps strengthen my leg muscles and it's aerobic (sp.).

I just had a Ghiradelli brownie with fat free reddi whip and Sumatra coffee........

My issue is my husband works 16 days and then has 7 days off. Most times he is in a hotel during his two weeks at work. I have trouble finding a routine when he is home. When he is gone, I get into a rhythm of healthy eating and exercise and then he is home and we do different things so I get off track quite easily and it…

Put one egg or egg whites, whatever meats and veggies you want and/or cheese in a microwavable coffe mug. Scramble with a fork. Put in microwave for 30 seconds. Mix up some more and microwave another 30 seconds. Put on a plate and enjoy.

Portion control with everything is the key. Stick to portions and you will be fine. If you can't portion it, then avoid it. My weaknesses are salt, sugar, and ice cream especially that tom.

On facebook, yes. I didn't know we had one here!:wink:

If you want it and it fits in your daily calories, eat it. Salt and sugar are my weaknesses but if I don't eat these at all, I am miserable. So I do eat some chips, and cookies in moderation. Portion control is the key for me :)
