Baught a scale today so now I know but considering that not hardly any weight was put on since I stopped smoking thats good,but the scale is in the red lol. So today I did my grocery shopping baught plenty of yougurt and some humis(1st time) and some salad and a terry orange chocolate ,lots of fruit cups.I have no freaking idea how this is going to go but have seen tips on here like drinking tea at night. Is there any good recipe sites that can be looked up thanks. Will be making smoothies also with almond milk.

And another thing gave up pepsi for carb water and like the cheap stuff because theres no salt (selection) I baught brown rice and almonds for a healthy eating choice but there full of calories !!!!I think giving up the salty stuff is gonna be toughest.I passed the peanuts today on sale but baught tositto's i have home made salsa. Its confusing.P.S. living in the middle of nowhere so on my own except for you guys

Blue rosé, I'm on Dr Ian Smith's SHRED diet and it's so easy using just normal foods...it's quantities that really make a difference...go to his website where he has a whole day's menu for you.

After that, it's just pretty much doing it all over again!
Good luck, Hon!

Most people will lose weight on a daily diet of 1,500 calories, about 2 pounds a week. thinking this may be my goal.

Oh Patty, nothing worse than not sleeping! I sure hope you get turned around soon. Especially being a momma and all.

Yes making good choices are always the hardest part. For me I cannot just eat a sandwich (it seems so boring and not at all filling and that is only more frustrating when you eat and are still hungry). One of the biggest tricks I use is I do buy splurges but keep them all to 100 cal or less. My big weakness is chips and crackers, so I try to cut out the chips for the most all together as I cannot count calories with chips but I eat a lot of snack crackers and cracker chips so I count them out to a single portion of 100 calories or less. Special K Cracker chips for me are the best I get 18 crackers per 80 calories put them in a smallish container so it looks full (gotta play the mind tricks when you diet) and it cuts down the cravings for chips. I have these with a sandwich on my high calorie days and don't want to come home and eat half a bag of chips.

Oh how I wish I liked hummus and could so many of the "good" for you items. I can't eat egg whites, avocados, kidney beans, chick peas and they are all the filling items they tell you to eat when dieting.

well it is official, I caught a flu or something equally as bad. Body aches, queasy all day, sleepy, hacking cough with phlegm, sneezing too. Good part? I did not eat anything till 6:00 p.m.!
DH made Marc Angelo sausages, mashed potatoes, peas, and many sauteed veg in a huge pan. Not exactly diet anything, but the one meal managed to stay down, so that was good.
I am NeoCitroning my way to recovery.

I'll see you all in the morning for our weigh-in!
Remember...don't weigh first thing in the morning...wait a couple of hours....I guess by then we've lost our retained water?
Fingers crossed for all of us!!!

Oh wob, I'm sorry you got one of those darn flu's. They're brutal this year. I hope you stay in bed and snuggle with kitty today, that should make you feel a bit better. That gorgeous tiny face
