As cute as I am, there needs to be less of me, because it is now not about being cute and jolly and roly~poly, but about having my health compromised.

Count me in!

YAY!!!

Let me tell you that my "The Biggest Loser Cookbook" Was the best gift I have ever recieved. YOU MUST invest in this.

It will also ask you to invest in a kitchen scale and a olive oil sprayer. Everything else can be made using the stuff that I Know already exists in the Licious One's kitchen *wink*

You can do this, sweetcakes.

Next thing you know there'll be less of us!!!!!

YAY!

At some point, I want to get a red wagon and fill it with fat ~ like Oprah did that time ~ just so I can be thoroughly disgusted over just how much fat I was carryin' around with me.....

I think I prefer "Sweet'n'LOWcakes", Splenda Louise!

Candace...

I know how hard it is to make life changes. I woke up in August and decided that my love affair with sugar and carbs had to stop. As much as I love them... they are bad for me. With my family history and some health conditions I have, carb-free (or as close to that as possible) IS healthier for me.

The sugarfree "to-go" koolaid packs have been my lifesaver. I went from drinking a 12pk of soda per DAY to none. Zero. I don't really miss them (except when I want Jim Beam backed by my precious Sundrop)

As of this morning, the result has been a loss of 71lbs. Yep. Seventy one. Four clothes sizes and still dropping. The new "skinny jeans" I bought just two weeks ago are already too big. Its a great feeling even if the continual shopping is making the cheapo bastid in Jess have near fits.

Am I proud of me? Oh yeahhhhhh. Do I feel better? Its amazing. Am I running circles around Jess because I feel better? Uh huh.

Food is the only demon I think we have to "feed" everyday. I am an emotional eater. I love my mashed taters and gravy moreso than ice cream.

I think that to be successful with long term weight loss, you have to find what works for you. The way you lose the weight is the way you will have to eat for the rest of your life.

I know that you have all the necessary internal tools to do this. There are good support groups that are completely free (OA) that might be beneficial to you. You have your planet family here and I am sure we are all behind you 100%.

I heard a lil blurb on tv the other day that said that ppl who keep a food diary are far more successful at weight loss than those who don't. I know when I started tracking what I ate and the portion size (cause we all know that super size bag of cool ranch doritos MUST be the serving size), it was really an eye opener for me.

Best of luck to you!

Hey hun you have my support also.

Anyway i can help let me know.

I haven't struggled with weight but I do struggle with food and eating a certain way and for health reasons i do need to eat a certain way or my body responds negatively. Despite that it is still a struggle to make to right choices.

A lot of it involves planning ahead. Knowing what i'm going to eat when and having options so if I don't feel like eating one thing i have a healthy back up and don't say f@#$ it and just eat what I want.

Also eating out was a struggle at first. I often tried to avoid it or would just not eat with other people which wasn't always a good alternative.

I've learned

1) it is okay to ask to have food prepared the way I want it
2) it is okay to send food back.
3) if I say i need it this way for health reasons people tend to understand that.
4) learn what are the general foods okay to eat and a sit down restaurant.
i know what to look for on a menu, I have safe foods.
5) as much as fast food is frowned upon unfortunately there are times and places that it is what is there, again learn what your options are. A lot of chains have their menus online and broken down so study them. If i wait til i go into a place it is easy just to get whatever if i feel the pressure to order immediately. If i already know I can eat item 1, 2, or 3 then it isn't so bad.

I don't really cook by recipes and well my food plan is different then what most dieticians recommend but I have learned to improvise recipes and am always happy to give suggestions if there is some food you crave and want to have a healthy alternative.

big hugs to you on become healthy!
