Weight Loss	SLim Fast DIet success so far.	Nov 02 2007 14:34 (UTC)	257
I don't do the slimfast diet, but I do like to drink the Kroger brand, slimrite ultima (20 calories less and more protien) twice a day, the first one about 30 minutes before I do my cardio workout and another one on my way home from work. Drinking the one on the way home from work helps me to not pig out while I'm cooking dinner, or to impulse buy at the grocery if I stop there first on my way home. It doesn't fill me up or keep me full, but it does take the edge off any hunger pains I may have. Good luck to all of you in reaching your goals. ~Brigid
Motivation	SO FRUSTRATED and depressed	Oct 29 2007 17:33 (UTC)	6
deflepfan, I totally feel your pain. I had two impacted wisdom teeth removed a little over a year ago. Worst pain in my life and I've given birth 4 times and let me tell you, I'd rather give birth. I missed two weeks of work, and was still swollen when I went back to work. Lived on cooled scrambled eggs, kraft macaroni and cheese and french fries, mashed potatoes, stuff you didn't have to chew and could swallow whole if you had too. Also ate a lot of yogurt and baby food. I managed to avoid the dry sockets but I ended up with an infection and had to be reopened up 6 months later after several months of feeling like I was being such a baby complaining of constant pain. You are young so you should bounce back pretty fast. Don't worry about your exercising yet, eat what you can and give your body the rest it needs to recover. Good luck. ~Brigid
Fitness	Love my dog	Oct 28 2007 03:38 (UTC)	35
Does chasing my dog around the neighborhood count? J/K, lol. We think Tucker is a beagle/jack russell mix, but we're not really sure. We adopted him last year and he's just a bundle of energy, always on the go, pestering our cat and our birds, destroying his toys (which is a major improvement from his eating our new couch). He likes to go for walks in the neighborhood and thinks every man, woman, child and animal he encounters should be his friend. He enjoys walking the trails at the park near our house the best, so we try to get to the park a couple times a week. I'll try to post some pics in my profile. ~Brigid
Weight Loss	Slim Fast	Oct 03 2007 02:13 (UTC)	5
I drink the Kroger SlimRite Ultimate Chocolate Royale...it is 20 calories less than SlimFast Optima and has less sugar and more protien. I'm not much of a morning eater, either, so I usually drink one can after my morning workout or on my way to work. I tried to do that 2 cans a day, one healthy meal thing, but that did not work out for me. I'd rather just incorporate this into one of my 'healthy' snacks.

Weight Loss	ALLI the FDA approved diet pill......	Sep 24 2007 22:05 (UTC)	10
I know I'm too scared to try it, that's for sure, and I'm the 'magic pill' queen. I think I've tried just about everything.....only thing I ever had good luck with was Phen/phen, went from 210lb to 110lb in about 8 months, along with working out 4 times a week with a personal trainer and having a nutritionist, and had to force myself to eat on that stuff (you really could 'eat just one Lays potato chip, lol). That was 10 years ago, didn't gain all that weight back, but did end up 160l plus. Dang I miss that stuff....never had any side effects from it and after it was banned the doc tested me for microvalve prolapse and a host of other things....didn't find anything wrong, thank goodness. Closest thing to a 'magic pill' I've ever seen. ~Brigid
Weight Loss	Really silly and embarassing question...	Sep 24 2007 14:23 (UTC)	28
I have to say that I have enjoyed this topic tremendously and hope it doesn't get removed. I've been laughing and smiling from the beginning......what a great way to start the day. Sure hope this doesn't get removed, and yes.....have to admit, I'm a little jealous too ;) What a HOOT! Tree, I think you have to actually ingest 'it' for the calories to count. I would definetly not worry about it. Besides, you've probable burned more calories in those 8 times then I'll burn walking 3 miles on the treadmill, lol ~Brigid

maybe you just have to mix-up your exercise routine a bit. Good luck and be patient....don't talk yourself into giving up ~Brigid
Weight Loss	What am I doing wrong?	Sep 23 2007 04:27 (UTC)	17
I'm guessing you're going to see a difference soon. I wish I was able to do it all 'right' the way you are doing. Don't stress, you WILL see a difference. ~Brigid
Weight Loss	ideal weight	Sep 23 2007 04:03 (UTC)	6
5'1 1/2"(almost), though I tend to tell people I'm 5'2". Medium build, and I'd love to weigh between 110 and 115, but I'll be happy with 120/125. Shoot, at this point, 130lbs would make me jump for joy.

Weight Loss	low-cal alcoholic drinks?	Sep 23 2007 02:05 (UTC)	8
I haven't thought about PGA in years. Now I'll have to see if our nearest liquer store carries it, lol, just for the fun of it and maybe to revisit my youth. In the warmer months, I like Vodka and Tonic or light beer. In the cooler months I'm more a bourbon/whiskey girl, either with coke or water. I'm not a big fan of diet coke, so if I'm gonna splurge, it's gonna be on the 'Real Thing'.....classic coke all the way. I haven't had a coke in over 3 weeks, nothing but water or skim milk.
Calorie Count	Question about burn meter	Sep 22 2007 23:40 (UTC)	1
I am sooooo glad I'm not the only person who didn't understand this. I feel much better, lol.
Calorie Count	Does anyone else's goal date change?	Sep 22 2007 23:36 (UTC)	5
Mine has been doing that too. I was thinking that maybe it changed based on food/activity logs....if you did better a couple days in a row then the date moved up and vice versa. Just a guess.
