I agree 100% about getting the yogurt without sugar. Yes it tastes awful, but its good for you, the other stuff will not make you healthy. Sweet'n it with splenda, berries or honey if you need too. Our foods are impregnated with sugar, and sugar is deadly - so READ YOUR LABELS. I was buying plain almond milk thinking I was…

When I became really serious about loosing that last 10 pounds, and getting firmer - I did every thing I could, including going off the pill and switching to condoms. My intimacy with the hubby needed some getting used too, but its all good now. It is a controversial topic, but the pill "tricks" your body into thinking it…

It does get confusing so I round it in the middle of the two numbers the scale is showing.

If your 'cutting down' on your meals in the evening, your going to be hungry in the morning. Boil a bunch of eggs. Eat one when you get up with a cup of herbal tea or milk (almond, soy or 1%) Thats what I do:flowerforyou: And like stated above, have a carb afterwards

I agree with all the above! I used to feel the same way working as a nurse, come mid afternoon I would be closing my eyes while working! Personally, I found that when I quit drinking caffeinated beverages (and yes it was very hard, my double double) and started having decaff herbal teas a couple times a day, I have more…

Welcome! Congrats on joining. This site is great for a reality shock on foods. Every once in a while I will enter a food I haven't had in a while -> like 10-20 chicken wings and beer every Monday night not realizing it is between 1200-1500 cal in one sitting - Then your like "no wonder I was getting fat". lol. My advice…

DO YOGA. As posted above it has many exercise benefits, and it also gives you a really powerful sense of self. I find it improves self esteem, sex, lots of things. I suffer from anxiety and I find yoga grounds and relaxes me while making me stronger and healthier. Start off with simple yoga - not the hot room (i agree) Try…

According to Canada's Food Guide - 1 serving of meat a day is all that's needed for a woman, and that serving should be the size of your palm. I use this to help me watch me meat portions.:happy:
