Ok, who was the pop addict? Can you switch to diet? Yeah, I know it's not that good for you either, but at least it isn't adding 10,000 calories a day. I never ever thought I could switch to diet. Then I tried a Diet Coke with Lime and it was pretty good. Now that's my drink of choice. Lot of the time I add my own lime. A&W Root Beer and Cream Soda are both excellent. I know a lot of non diet drinkers can't tell the difference with those two.

I also like club soda. No carbs, calories, no sweetener. You can use a dash of lemon or lime or not. At least you get the fizzy!
heart heart Diet Root beer! yummy

I also like 4oz of pineapple juice mixed with 4+oz of sprite zero. Delicious and light! I probably drink too much Coke Zero or Diet Pepsi. Granted, mine is most often mixed with Jack Daniels (another diet weakness) but probably too much soda nonetheless.

I'm not a sweet eater unless it's in the house so I never buy it. I am more a salty/crunchy person. Chips, popcorn, etc. I just have to learn to eat an apple instead.

I am contemplating mall walking. I am thinking my dd would tolerate being in the stroller, we could get out of the house for a bit, and we could do it even in the winter. We don't have the best conditions outside for walking....lots of traffic, poorly maintained sidewalks, lots of intersection construction projects that have closed the sidewalks at that, etc. and just generally not the best area. Also contemplating that 30 day shred video but I am wondering if it would just be too much for me.
ITA! We are total mallrats in the winter. Early in the morning is pretty empty and DS can have a run of the place... hope DS#2 starts walking soon so that he can get some practice before it's snow boots time. Sadwalk

Another good alternative to soda is club soda with a bit of juice mixed in. Just enough to add flavor.
i do this all summer. i buy a 12 pack of club soda when it's on sale for 1.99 and use a can/day. sometimes 2 cans if it's really hot. but i prefer half juice, half club soda. i do that to my daily cup of oj so spreads it out to 2 cups of liquid. sometimes i'll do that to my 100% bottled juice too. ends up being cheaper and better for you than buying those juice cocktails w/ only 10-25% juice. and i have to pay tax on those less than 51% juice.

Here's some things that have helped me. Remember, I've been changing my lifestyle since March so I've lost some weight. (was 264, now 213)

A friend of mine said that I'd have to retrain my body to stop eating when I feel full, not when I feel stuffed or when I've finished everything on my plate. So I will get a regular serving of food but I leave half (or so) on my plate.

Another difficult thing for me was drive thru food. If I took DH and the kids to McD for a quick lunch, I felt like I had to get something. Well, I wasn't hungry and forced myself to not get anything. Or I'd get a cup of OJ with ice. It was seriously the hardest thing to not order myself food. I would have been eating just to eat. Then I would have been tired and sat around the house.

My motivation was Target. I'd get up before 8, have my eshot, and go go go. I'd be home by 2, back out by 6. I'd get home around 8, shower, get online, clean house..etc. I'd crash by midnight. I did this minimum 5 days a week from March through August.

It wasn't so much the choices of food I was eating. I still ate pizza, donuts, Jack n the Box, etc. I just didn't eat as much and I walked like no tomorrow in these stores. I'd hop from one store to the next and go until I just couldn't go anymore.

Fast food- I only eat off the dollar menu and it kills me that DH doesn't.

So gt, when you are on your liquid fast, do you put creamer in your coffee or drink it black? I think I could *almost* do this, IF I was able to doctor my coffee like I want it...
Yes, I do. This is one concession I am not willing to make. I started drinking Half & Half in my coffee years ago otherwise it would tear up my stomach. I have acid reflux disease and take Nexium now so I probably wouldn't have to but I like it that way. So, I figure this isn't something I'm changing so if I have to cut something else back a little more, so be it. Here's the kind of weird glitch -- I'm doing low carb, heavy cream is lower in carbs than Half & Half so I will buy some of that to get started -- plus since it's heavy cream, I can use a little less.

During the fast I will also use Splenda in tea if I want to. Once I go onto Atkins Induction, I don't know. It actually has one carb in a tsp (I think). You can order liquid online but it's ????. I think I will just start drinking tea without sweetener.

Quote from thismom4deals :
I am not even going to attempt extra exercising until I get the eating thing down...one thing at a time. I have a wii fit
I see your point but one thing does kind of encourage the other. If I exercise today and don't eat cheat by afternoon or evening when I really want that knowing that I have done those things encourages me not to eat. Plus, it does help with the weight loss and there is NOTHING more encouraging than looser pants.

I'm not a video game player and we don't have one, but if I were gonna get one, it would be the Wii. That kind of looks like fun.

My weight bench is in the basement right outside my daughters bedroom. I can't use it until later today. She works 11 - 7 tonight so she is still sleeping and I'm not gonna disturb her like that. Using it around her sleeping schedule is gonna be a pain in the arse. She has Hyperacusis which is sort of the opposite of being hard of hearing. There's a little more to it than that but I swear, between her and the German Shepherd, there isn't anything they can't hear.

Faint I have had many sleepless nights over the past 2 years as the middle of the night is the only time it's quiet enough to study but I couldn't imagine being on the go like that! worship I tried drinking the sugar free red bull but to be honest, I never noticed an energy boost that convinced me to drink them regularly. DH buys at least 2 energy drinks each day which sometimes adds up to $5 per day. He used to bitch constantly at me when I smoked in college because it was such an expensive habit. Glass houses, I say. Evillaugh

My older DS went on a eating strike and would only eat wendy's chicken nuggets. I gave in to him all too often and always felt like I needed to order something. I would talk myself out of a bacon cheeseburger but I would usually wind up getting the $1 fries. as a family, we have kicked fast food since I went through my bank statement and saw we spent $70 in fast food one month. OMG

Well, I don't feel like I have because I haven't hit my goal.

DH is 6'4" and I only weight 10 lbs more than him. For some reason, I fnd that amusing. laugh out loud

My goal was never really a specific weight goal. When I can wear a VS clothes, I will feel like I've done something.
