I am hoovering down those cuties too.

Seeweed (sushi) & Beets (beetroot) i can deal with. The rest, shudder, not a hope in hell of getting past these lips

Funny, I said no to seaweed and beets but he'll yeah to sauerkraut and asparagus.

I'm with Pita on this one.

I like it when Oldfart is with me. :brows:

There you go again, getting my hopes up, you wicked woman.

I took drastic measures today and joined Weight Watchers. Keeping track of points freaks me out a little, but something had to be done. Wish me luck!

I am at a plateau again, my fault. Stress from getting ready to move and a heap of other shit on my plate, i just am grabbing food when the mood strikes. Gimme another week and most will have settled back down and i can get back on track with a vengence

A new 90 Day Challenge gets me to the beginning of summer. Bring it on!!

Bump
 

Well....I'm giving this a bump because I am still trying. I have to fight a little harder since I got the IUD, but it's all worth it. Any new ideas for lunches? Leftovers are fine but not always feasible as I like to freeze those and get another meal out of it.

Keep it light and simple. You can always look at some of the protein shakes. Some of them are more or less meal replacements, though they might have to many calories. Maybe a handful of nuts and some yogurt? Salad made with baby spinach instead of lettuce (lettuce doesn't do a whole lot for you).

As some of you know, I’m working the Atkins’ diet. In it, managing calories is less important than managing carbohydrates.

I've gotten myself down from 242 to 190 over the past couple of years. I walk about a mile a day and reduced "portion" size in my meals. Try to avoid sweets ... although not totally. So far, so good. Still want to drop just a few more pounds .. maybe five or six and then work to maintain that weight.

Best of luck to everyone in your efforts.

It was sure more fun putting it on than taking it off. :(

But it's also more fun having it off than leaving it on. :)

I'm working on it. I have type 2 diabetes and it had really gotten out of control. My change of job equalled a less active life style and long hours. Time to get my but in gear.

Maybe try putting just a tiny dab of Vegemite on everything you want to eat. I'm sure you'll only want one bite of anything.

Shame on you PF, trying to scare Lil like that.

well I was having some sinus issues and went to the doctors and realized since my Heart surgery due to the medication I am on i have gained 30 pounds since February I now weight 250 and just had a OMG moment I need to loose weight as this is not good. Any good suggestions will be appreciated and glad i was in a horny mood to browse the forums threads and found this one.

Take up zumba!

Don't just watch what you eat, but how much you eat. Change when you eat as well. If you have the tendency to eat close to your bed time you're not giving your body enough time to digest and use any calories you just took in.

To get past the urge to snack, keep some short sticks of dry spaghetti around.

Rather than fight the urge to eat, use it wisely.

Now, I gotta admit, I never gave any thought to eating short sticks of dry spaghetti. Hmmmm. I may even try that.
