  • I have not done this diet, but my best friend did & she lost A LOT of hair! I thought she looked sickly. Really wish she would have listened to me. :(
  • MokeyMokey, I'm your twin! SW:164 CW: 167 (thanks TOM) GW:125 Height: 5'3" Age:31 Friend request is on it's way!
  • Just sent you a friend request. I also live in AZ & would love to support you on your journey. :)
  • I have the same problem & was researching solutions last week. Here is a blerb from Dr.Weil's (I LOVE him) website: I have no experience using orange peel extract (d-limonene) for heartburn so I checked with Tieraona Low Dog, M.D., director of the Fellowship at the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, and an authority…
  • I recently got a Polar FT4 & LOVE IT! It does have a chest strap, but that is what makes it more accurate. :)
  • I'm with you! :)
  • It's a great source of omega 3 fatty acids- GREAT for the brain & heart!
  • I know you & I are having the same problem & IT SUCKS! I don't have any good advise, just supoort & encouragement not to give up. I can tell you that I met with my trainer last week & asked him what I was doing wrong. He said I am not eating enough. I know you & I are similar in current & goal weight, so we are probably…
  • I would suggest paying for at least one session with a personal trainer. They can show you what to do so you don't feel like you are wondering around aimlessly. :)
  • Greek yogurt! If you can handle the thick texture, it is a great source of protein. I just had a key lime flavored greek yogurt this morning & it was almost like eating a slice of key lime pie- yummy!
  • Just do a search for 'mixed nuts' instead of trying to track each variety seperately. I eat Costco's brand of mixed nuts & it has all of the ones you listed. Generally 1oz. or 1/4c. of nuts has about 200 calories & 17g fat. I hope this helps! :)
  • Welcome, just sent you a friend request!

  • I have no solution to offer, I am in the same boat. Frustrating is an under statement. Just don't give up!
  • I don't have any answers for you, but wanted to let you know that I understand your frustration! I just starting exercising one month ago & have been faithful to 4x/week & eating well & I have not lost an ounce! I'm not giving up though, my body has to respond eventualy. Hang in there!
  • I don't believe in diets either! If it's not a lifestyle, it won't last. Feel free to add me, I would love to support you on your journey!

  • Nice to meet you! I'm fairly new myself. Feel free to add me, I would love to support you on your journey.
  • Welcome! I am fairly new here, but LOVE IT so far. Feel free to add me, I would love to support you!
  • My husband & I joined Snap Fitness about one month ago. I have found that I am more likely to workout if I have to leave the house. At home I have a choice between the couch or the treadmill & I always pick the couch! :)
  • Nice to meet you! Sounds like we have some things in common; feel free to add me- I'd love to support you!
  • Hi, I'm also in AZ. I joined MFP about 3 weeks ago & just decided today to start taking advantage of the support on the message boards. I'd love to support you on your journey. Sending you a friend request now. :smile:
  • Are you hypothyroid or hyperthyroid? I am hypothyroid & my med comes in generic form; it is only $4 at Target.
  • LOL! I'm learning to view cheese dip as a treat & not a beverage! I could drink the stuff with a straw. :wink:
  • Wow, I know that feeling! I have to fight the urge to eat fresh bagels at work almost every Friday! I try to avoid the area that they are located in. Also, I have made it known to most of my co-workers that I am trying to lose weight & most of them are very supportive. Good Luck!
  • Thanks for the article! I definately try to stay natural & I've had a bad feeling about Truvia & PureVia since they came out. Always wondered why it was supposed to be Stevia, but had several other ingredients!

  • I just bought "Stevia in the Raw" because my old favorite (Sun Crystals) was discontinued & I think it is fine. My friend has also told me that the liquid kind is the best, so I will be trying that next.
