Granted I am supposed to start TOM this week BUT how can that and a couple pastries negate the 4200-6300 calories that I burned…

Ive reached 199 like 10 times over the years just to screw it up and jump back…

Metabolife question
So I know it comes down to diet and exercise but I know that some of you are taking a supplement of some sort either for energy or as a weight loss aid.

I cant believe that the hours from 6pm-8pm are totally holding…

This morning they finally summed it up. The key is calories in versus calories out. Regardless of what "diet" you're own ie: high protein low carb, high fat low protein etc...it really just comes down to numbers.

Does anyone know how much is too much protein??

Put the cookie dough down!!
I was at target tonight waiting for a prescription refill and passed the cookie dough in the freezer section. I wanted it sooo bad, I must have picked it up 4 or 5 times to put it in the basket but the voice in my head kept telling me nothing good could come out of it. I told myself that I would only have one but i knew…

Binging:(
This week has been so rough. I'm great all day but once the evening hits I start binging. I mean I binged every night this past week. even that is abnormal for me. I know why I do it (im currently raeding 2 books on the subject) but it's like I have these 2 personalities and there is this internal argument and the "hungry"…

Menu for the week
I am printing my menu and using it as a checklist. Oprah said that is something she is doing now, having her menu for the whole week printed out.
