I have the relationship with water and smaller portions going for me, still trying to figure the working out one.

Welcome!

I drink a gallon or close to it of water a day. If I don't , I find myself grazing. Water is the answer for me.

Keep us posted.

You can do this!

When I feel like that, or when I've had too much sodium, I drink a cup of hot ginger tea, sometimes twice a day. The drugstore brand, Tazo is readily available.

It helps me..I hope it can help you.

Kick some ass Seabass! I am mega proud of you. You've worked so hard.

I can't wait to hit the 30 lb mark. Half way there!

SExy-ugly.

I wanted to add Chef Ramsay. Just looking at a picture, it's kinda like ewww, but when he's in action, or dressed up in his jeans and tee, YUM! So hawt!

It's not just beef and pork. Have you seen how they breed chickens for consumption? They inject so many hormones into their breast, that they actually fall over when walking around.

Unfortunately, I love chicken so I buy free-range at least.

In the US it's illegal to inject hormones into poultry intended for consumption. 

Illegal for poultry, but not beef?

Like thin girl said, eat minimal calories before the dinner. Cereal, meal supplement shake, plain salad and lots of water.

And if you can, ALWAYS check out the restaurants menu online before you go, if available.

If not, chicken fajitas is a good option. Ordered with corn tortillas, instead of flour-even better. Avoid the sour cream and cheese, but load up on salsa or pico. Yum!

I think just the skillet of of grilled chicken and veggies is 350 cals.

With a little planning, you will pull it off no prob!

If you guys are intimate or even half-naked around each other....he has noticed. Don't chalk it up to stupidity. My bf gave me a hug after a 9 lb loss and commented about the difference.

Significant others, if they truly care about you, are supposed to be complimentary of your achievements. My current bf is worth his weight in gold, silver and platinum! He tells me how proud of me he is and it just makes me work that much harder to be a stone cold fox and be on his arm.

My EX husband however, couldn't stand any success I made, whether it be weight loss, career, compliments from anyone. It was most obvious when I used to be a journalist and my articles were on the front page everyday and his co-workers would be 'i really liked your wife's latest article...' etc and he would brush them off. Turns out after an entire year, he didn't read a single ONE. It's what I call a narcissistic Pig!

After a few years of this, it broke me down. I lost self confidence; I didn't care about my body anymore. it's only natural for people to seek support/approval from that mate who is supposed to be our knight. And if they can't fulfill their relationship duties, we doubt ourselves.

Also, when you are soul-tied to someone, there are NO excuses for mentioning weight loss being a touchy conversation. Those are boundaries reserved for co-workers, your dry cleaners, mailman and priest.

Trust me..he has noticed. I would suggest evaluating other areas of your relationship where maybe you excel and see if he is ignoring those as well. After that...just scream at him..I'VE BEEN WORKING HARD TO GET THESE RESULTS, AND I LOOK GREAT...DON'T YA THINK?

Just my two cents.

Super fab on your weight loss. You are a stone fox!

I'm not anti-tax. I pay taxes at the grocery store, I pay tolls, I pay taxes on licensing, I pay a fuel tax, I pay a property tax, I pay a telephone exise tax, I pay a vehichle registration tax, I pay medicare and Social Security and I don't have a problem with any of those.At least with those, I can see where the dollars may be going, and getting some return services out of those taxes paid.

But can anyone here find in the U.S. Constitution where we are required BY LAW to pay federal taxes on wages? And I'm not referring to the IRS tax code.

If you can find it, I will arrest my case.

It happens to the best of us. I safeguard myself by keeping a huge bag of frozen fruit and cool whip lite (or fat free) topping in the fridge. I don't plan it into my daily meals, so it's there just for when the cravings attack.

My boyf takes them and they give him short energy boosts, so if that's what you are needing, go for it. Weight loss...not so much.

Also, I would buy them at a health food store or maybe amazon, but not any of those random websites that sell it. They end up being scams and charge your card/account every few days.

Mozzarella cheese, chicken breasts, limes, cottage cheese, fresh cilantro, tomatoes, most fruits, cool whip lite, red potatoes.

I love beef, but looking for healthier versions without breaking the bank.

I love love Lancome's Teint Idole Ultra. It's oil-free and stays on my face pretty much all day. And it's a good coverage.

Love it!

By early June, I aim for a 30 lb loss. 6 down, 23 to go. Just in time for summer softball, so I can be in better shape for it.

That day sounded pretty shoddy. And you restrained yourself well from binge eating. I probably woud've had a cheeseburger and milkshake after one of those days.

But today is a brand new day and that can work wonders.You will reach your goals by Mother's Day because you are determined. Just log in everything you eat.

Of course you're still in! So anyone who joins this forum want to post their successes or failures. We will hold each other accountable.

I am just upset at myself for not starting to live like this at least a year ago. But I digress.

I'll start.

I started CC a week ago.
