Topic: RE: Need help getting past the nightly sweets craving?
I use the same app and although I don't really crave chocolate occasionally I indulge. I've found the Hershey's dark chocolate kisses kinda hit the spot for wanting sweets and you can have 9 for 180 calories.
How successful has LoseIt been for you? I've been having pretty good luck so far.

Topic: RE: Tips on getting off my a$$
I see you are scheduled for WLS, how are you doing with all your other requirements? I find the best way to get motivated is to find something you like to do activity wise. Zumba or Jazzercise can be great because it's dancing (what woman doesn't like to dance?) and the routines change before you get bored. My worst problem is getting bored; that's why DVDs never worked for me. Plus when you're in a group setting (I at least) work harder because I think the instructor is wanting me to lose weight and is trying to make us work harder/motivate the class.
I like to bike ride too; the local trails allow me to ride and enjoy nature. Too bad the trails are covered in snow now!

Topic: Need help getting past the nightly sweets craving?
I am using the LoseIt app on my iPhone to help me count calories. It's been great so far in helping me decide what to choose to eat, but after dinner I almost always kill the calorie count with chocolate. It pains me that I work hard all day to keep on track but once I'm home and with my husband in front of the tv, I can't stop myself. Anyone have suggestions?
Topic: RE: I'm new here :)
Hi Kristin & Cindy! Have you two started holding eachother accountable? How did you fare over the holidays? I'd like to loose about 50 lbs, and would love some help and friendship along the way.

Topic: RE: Diet Pills
my primary care doctor tried me on phentermine. I was one of 500 patients on it and I was the only one to GAIN weight. just my luck! I only took them for 60 days because they werent working so why go the full 90 allowed.
As for alli, my surgeon just told me tuesday that the fda is taking it off the market due to liver failure, but i just saw a tv commercial on it so I dont know. I wouldnt take it anyway. I have diarrhea all the time anyway, why take something that is going to make it worse.

Topic: Atkins or Low-Carb Curious?
Hi everybody!
New Group! -- http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/atkins/
We will be discussing low-carb / high-protein / Paleolithic / high-fat / Atkins eating programs!
Several OH members have posted questions or comments about the Atkins program, and also about high-protein, or low carb, or high-fat dieting. Some people are interested in trying it to lose weight, or to refine their weight-loss, or just get carb cravings or blood-sugar under control.
This new group will provide information and support for those who would like to try this way of eating.
Even though I had WLS three years ago, and am thoroughly pleased with my Roux-en-Y, it has become necessary to get my sugary-foods cravings under control. I still dump like a Mack truck, but have found other carbs slipping unhealthfully into my eating, and dearly wish to lose a little more weight.
So -- I'm "doing" Atkins again (it was effective for me in the past). If you are also researching this way of eating, come give the new group a shot!
Come join us!

Topic: 5 Tips For A Good Weight Loss Plan
The first step for healthy weight loss is to create some sort of weight loss plan.
I know that sounded a little vague, but your weight loss plan does NOT have to be something that only NASA could understand or approve.
YOUR weight loss plan should include such simple things as what activities (exercise) you are going to indulge in, when, where, and so on. You will want to outline your weight loss goals, long term goals as well as short term goals. You will need to outline what your strategy will be for nutrition...notice I DID NOT say "diet"!
