I think you have to give yourself time to morn really. The death of that relationship.

It took me over almost 3 years to get over my first love, and by get over I mean move on from. I was even the one who broke up with him.

But I still have a love for him, even if things were pretty angry between us for a while after. Some things still remind me of him. Especially his smell. I have felt I smelled his sent maybe 3 times since we broke up (umm, 1997). It's usually when I pass through a heavily populated area and it's funny cause I always look for him. Even though I know it wouldn't be him.

I have been inlove since than, but it has always been different. And he's the one that has stayed in my mind the longest and strongest I guess. Even though I was really young, it still hurt me very bad. I think some of the memories/feelings I have is from that intense pain I suffered. It kind of changes you forever.

I use to drink my coffee with a little milk and a touch of sugar.

Then I got use to drinking it black in the mornings I would stay at my boyfriend’s house.

They never had anything in there fridge or cupboards. 3 Bachelor living together. They always ordered out for like every meal pretty much.

After a little while of drinking it black, I couldn't go back to having milk and sugar in it. It just tasted 2 sweet and creamy.

I do enjoy some bitter drinks I guess though. Love those IPA's :)

I would say try some shoes on in a store see what you like and then look on Amazon, or another website for a deal.

That's what i do usually with most things.

 I got a good pair of New Balance to work out in for $35 on Amazon including shipping. In the store I tried them on, they were a lot more. I did go up a width size online though, because that’s what was on sale. I didn't really feel a difference though to tell you the truth.

You shouldn't gain anything unless it happens a lot. 3500 -extra calories before gaining 1lb.

Based on what you wrote above your only at 500-700 over, so you shouldn’t gain anything. I'm sure it will equal out at the end of the week if you continue to do better.

Don't sweet it.

I would monitor a suggested maintenance of 1500 calories, sounds a bit off. I'm bet your more in the 1700 - 1800 area (not basing that on anything other than a maintenance of 1500 seems low for most humans).

If you find you start to lose more weight eating 1500-1700 than you did eating the 1200-1300 a day, I would take that as a sign that you weren't eating enough before.

To me, day 3 was always the hardest day. Hang in there!

My dad quite 3 years ago (after smoking 2 packs a day for like 20 years). He used the  Lozenges, but he's still on them.

I quit cold turkey in Oct of 07 after 11 years of smoking (I started when I was 15-16 too). But having sugar free gum around helped a lot.

My advice is, you have to really, really want it and be ready to quit.

Know, you can never be a "social smoker" (1 cigarette at the bar or at a party will just put you right back to day 1), physical addiction only last about 2-3 weeks but mental addiction can last a life time, but it will get easier over time.

Your doing it! Stay with it and Good luck!

Friday weigh in sounds better for me too becki7.

I am tend to be a little naughty on the weekend too! That's when I take a day off usually.

I like your idea of a reward. I think it should be if we all make the cut, we all get the prize!

My ideal calorie intake of between 1400-1700, and then I try to work out to make a calorie out of 300-500. Well this is want to do again.

Don't sweat it! I asked for opinions, and that was yours.

I appreciate your reply none-the-less :P

thanx

If your "not willing to do it." than no one can help you but yourself.

You said yourself, you know what you need to do. So get off your ass and do it!

It's hard to get into a new routine. it will get easier after the second week. You need to astablish how many days you will make yourself work out. Write it on the calendar or post sticky notes around saying that you need to exercise.

In the end, you just got to do it. It doesn't matter that you hate it. We all hate it at first. Some of us have always and will always hate it. But if your serious enough about it, than you got to suck it up and get to it.

I did this before, except it was three eggs and I left it burning to go up to the third floor to do home work.

2 hrs later I started to smell burning hair and flesh (what I would assume it would smell like together). I went down stairs and there was pieces of egg all over the kitchen where 1 or 2 exploded. I mean everywhere, the ceiling, behind the trash can...

The half of the 1 that was left in the pan was bubbling in a tiny bit of black liquid. The smell lasted for days. My room-mates weren’t so happy to come home to a smell like that and even less thrilled that I left something burning like that.

Sucks.

Get vitalicious muffins or muffin mixes. http://store.vitalicious.com/2ozvitamuffins.h tml

http://store.vitalicious.com/vitatops.html

They taste great and are packed with vitamins. forgot to tell you they are only 100 calories and a good size.

I love the chocolate, the banana nut is ok and the corn muffins are good.

The banana was just revamped so is probably a lot better now. I didn't care for the other fruit muffins.

That's fantastic!

Have a good time in London and congratulations on the weight loss!

I use to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day for over 11years, and I finally quite for good-this time-as of last October.

BUT, I still indulge in the hookah every once in a while.

Some people think this is cheating, and maybe it is, but I don't smoke every-day, or even every week now. I will always be addicted to cigarettes, but as long as you have control over it and don't start increasing your indulgence due to cravings I'm sure you'll be fine. (But it is bad for us.)

I was in a plateau for almost three months... so i feel your pain.

I just started loosing again. I lost 25ish pounds and then weight wouldn't budge. I worked hard for two months and then slacked off on exercise and being as strict with my food intake. I didn't gain any weight. After almost a month of slacking off I decided to give it my all again, and sure enough the weight started comming off again. But slower then before. I lost about 6lbs so far.

I was loosing 2lbs a week, now I'm at 1lb to 1.3lbs a week. Still fine with me. I weigh 161lbs now. I would say just try different things for a couple weeks and see what happens. Try exercising more and keep your food intake the same.

For me, really i think it was just waiting it out... but who knows maybe it was the shock of quiting my exercise routine and then starting again in full force?? Your guess is as good as mine. One things for sure, you will start to loose again, it just may take more time.
