Nancy324, Those are fabulous suggestions and they sound yummy.

Being hungry is not a “bad habit” or a lack of will power. Stop telling yourself that. If you are ravenous, then the obvious answer is there is something wrong with your diet, not with you. Hunger is a biological response to the physiological condition of needing food. If you are famished at...

If you didn’t eat compulsively before you started your new diet, and you’re suddenly eating an entire boxes of fruit loops, or twizzlers or whatever, then the obvious answer is there is something wrong with your diet, not with you. Hunger is a biological response to the physiological condition...

Thank you Ronne. And thank you Jilly bean. Everyone is so nice around here. I know that sounds trite, but it really is so nice to know that I can post stuff here and there are people here who want to have real conversations about these things. It makes me happy.

I am so sorry Jilly Bean, I am so very sorry. I don't want you to think that you are letting me down at all. Believe me when I tell you I do the exact same things you do when it comes to eating. It is so easy to offer suggestions and it sounds so simple that we think it should be easy, but...

Rapid Breath, I apologize if my statements came across wrong. Yes, sugar can be very corrosive to the body, and insulin resistance is a serious metabolic issue which shouldn't be treated lightly.

Just another thought I noticed in your original post you mentioned that you eat very strictly for a couple of weeks, but as soon as you start adding back in more normal things all hell breaks loose. How about instead of going for the big reward up front and eating super strict to loose the...

It's ok to want a donut. I’m sorry, I don’t mean to go on and on, but this is just something I feel really strongly about, and I had this coworker that was so obnoxious and thank heavens she quit because I was getting really close to slapping her. But here goes: It has absolutely nothing what...

Having a dark room helps too. An alarm clock with a red display is easier to read and less disruptive at night then a blue display.

Thank you. Now if I could only follow my own advice. :)

Jilly Bean, I believe your chief concerns are that you’re cold and painfully bored with your healthy diet so you can't stand it long term and there's a sling shot effect when you go off of it. If you are physically cold all the time, then you are probably cutting too much fat out of your...

Having knee problems is awful. You have my deepest sympathy. The excercise bike, eliptical and tread mill are all low impact aerobic activities. Ask him if there are stretches or resistance excercises he can recommend which will help support the knee and help keep space inside the joint...

done. Watched the other video he posted too, just for good measure.

Eating right and making healthy choices isn't something people just do. It takes training and practice like everything else. Making small incremental changes will be easier and less overwhelming then making a lot of huge changes all at once. Ellie Kreiger has a pretty good book called...

You shouldn't store any cooked grain in the fridge for more than a week. This is particularly true of rye berries. If you make a large batch and know you won't finish it all in a few days, a better option is to portion it and freeze it. It will reheat in the microwave in just a few minutes, or...

8 pounds in 12 days! that is amazing! I bought her basic step and body fusion months ago, and one excuse has led to another. You have inspired me to try one of them today. Congratulations on the success.

Never mind I figured it out. Apparently one must click on the calendar date. I guess I thought one could click anywhere on the selected day and it would work. I was wrong.

Hello, I am having problems with the calendar on the workout manager. When I click on the calendar, nothing happens. I am logged in. It even let's me update my profile, so that is not the problem. Any one have any suggestions? All responses gratefully accepted.

same problem, somewhat simpler solution Hello, I have been having the same problem where I can log into the forums, but it won't recognize when I have logged into the workout manager. What I did was go the forums, log out, log back in, click on workout manager tab at the top, and when the...

Eunice, I have to admit, now you have me curious too.
