The Potbellez have an awesome album (self titled) that I love to crank on the treadmill. Every track is a winner

Hmm. Call me pretentious, but I care a little bit too much about what others think to let myself look that stupid at the gym...

Weight Loss I need help! Jul 05 2009

I'm in the exact same place. After achieving so much, its like I have the "right" to give in. I'm furiously trying to "re-learn" my good behaviours. The worst thing for me is that I won't waste money - so if I buy a bag of chips, and open the bag of chips, I'm going to finish the bag of chips! So what I'm doing is NOT buying the chips in the first place!

I've had some arguments with myself in the grocery store that I'm sure made me look insane to any onlookers, but I always feel better when the "good me" wins.

When you want to eat, have a cup of green tea, a bowl of fruit salad, or a few raw almonds. Its not as fun as a bag of chips, but it fills the gap!

I don't disagree with you... I lost all my weight originally by following a natural detox diet. And its so yummy and energising too. Just very hard to follow if one is trying to maintain any kind of social life (waters and carrot sticks at the pub?!)

That said, I'm far from two bowel movements a day - and I eat a load of fibre. What's your thoughts on laxatives?

The greatest debate on c-c almost 100 threads on topic alone. 

 There's debate? Hands up the person who thinks they were correct in the use of the word "loose" for "lose" - I want to laugh at you.

Tongue out

Weight Loss Is anyone else having trouble losing weight on the birth control shot??? May 13 2009

I lost 20 lbs when I was on it last year, I'd been on it for several years.

You gain a lot more weight being pregnant then you do on birth control!!

how many apples was that?

I definitely wish I'd just pigged out on apples as opposed to the raspberry licorice I just ate...

I find it much easier to eat the right things living on my own - because I don't buy chocolate, chips or the rest.

But I'm a boredom eater, so I need to keep myself occupied so I don't snack mindlessly.

Try and strike a balance - if you're not happy where you live now you shouldn't stay, its not worth it

Recipes What are some good ways to add flavor to oatmeal without the calories? May 10 2009

I have mine dry - I don't like it cooked. I chop fresh fruit through it when in season (currently strawberries and blackberries) and I like tinned pears too. Then I'll add a sprinking of trail mix w/almonds for protein and good fat. Super filling, it gets me through til lunch
