Hi.. Well you have to eat, because if you dont eat anything you dont going to lose.. try to eat vegetables with negative calories.. and for example one apple each 3 hs.. The metabolism work and you burn fat ( I hope you understand my english is not too good.. Im from Argentina)

---

@ thx MsPotato First of all - your English is great. Well I am from Austria, so I am also not native ;o) After one "juice-day" I found out that only soup and juice is not the right thing for me. So I try to avoid all sweet things (ok I ate 2 pieces chocolate today), eat fresh fruit and if I really need cookies I eat spelt cookies. What is your aim?

---

quick go for a walk

---

@Dana92484 LOL I went shopping instead, but it worked. :)

---

the best trick: drink 2 full glasses of cold water :) most of the time, it helps

---

you can eat bubblegum without sugar.. that can help =)

---

I've heard of this approach before, but your post put a different spin and name to it. Like it.

---

It sounds so good, I know that it must be the best way to eat! but having other member of family who will always want to have a nice meal at night.. plus family time... I will be eating both breakfast and Dinner like a king!

---

@knitkids999 Have you ever thought about eating your dinner on a smaller plate? Take one serving, don't finish anyone's food and don't go back for seconds; remember your plate should consist of majority vegetables/salad, 1 serving of lean protein (palm size) and a small amount of carbs!

---

@leah_estelle That's a great idea! I will try the smaller Plate ,and left over has to go to the dogs! Thanks!

---

oh i forgot: please add me as a friend (;

Your weight fluxuates 5ish lbs just from drinking or eating or peeing. If you wanna be like 125 and your in the range of 125-130 that is your ideal weight. Like me, Ive been dieting 3 days and lost waaaay to much weight. But thats only because I was eating likeeee shytttttttt! But you were eating well and then took a holidy its going to be harder to lose the weight because your used to eating well. Try maybe an extra half hour of working out (a day), thatll help.

---

@snicole90 first of all: thanks for your reply :). the problem is i think i didn't really eat much more in holidays than i do at home. so ..i don't know why i put on weight. and an other thing: i come from austria and we count our weights in 'Kilogramm' so i'm not sure what you mean with the second sentences, are you able to say it in other words? Thank you for your help!

---

@snicole90 ah sorry, i read the 2. sentences an other time and now i understand what you wanted to say. :)

---

@ So for you it would be 3ish kilograms for you that your weight fluxuates :)

---

@snicole90 noo? woow :D good news. thx

---

Honey, its simple: you HAVE to eat less. Or exercise more. Or both. Doesnt matter if you do this already.

---

@popekroztropek just gaze at my food diary and and get an idea of this yourself :S. and i practice twice a week hard volleyball training .. so i don't know ..

---

The first few days were miserable for me also..hard to break years of bad eating habits. Just think of eating GOOD HEALTHY FOODS. I'm learning to like cucumbers, broccoli and such. 7-8 days without your sweets and you won't think about them so much anymore.

---

Also, keep sugar free gum in a kitchen drawer. Good Luck :)

---

@dajero1 Thanks :)

---

You should drink water. That stuff fills you up good, plus it's good for you too. And for chocolate you should just limit yourself to like 3 or 4 mini-bars a day.

---

@kenzasaurr Ive been eating the special K double chocolate bars.They tasteamazzzzing! So thats been helping alot. And I always drink alot of water, out of hab it.

---

I have a great answer for chocolate lovers, Nutella! Put on toasted multi grain bread....Yummy! try it!

---

what is nutella? where do I find it in the grocery store?

---

@dajero1 Nutella is a cocoa flavored hazelnut spread, you can find it where the peanut butter, almond butter,and honey at any local grocery stores.

---

sounds yum...I'll look

---

If your body feels like it's craving sugar you might also be dehydrated, so drink a big glass of water and then re-think whether you still want that chocolate! Also, don't think of it as a diet, think of it as you're eating healthier now and are going to feel better, live longer and best of all have a healthy glow! Embrace it!

---

@knitkids999 Nutella is delicious, but its very high in calories

---

@leah_estelle Its a diet for me, I really dont want to be doing it. I <3 my curves. But medically I have to lose the extra weight.

---

it is just like the peanut butter, you don't have to use 2 tbs to spread, you can use only 1 tbs on whole wheat bread or something.... It fills you up and no hydrogenated vegetable oil! ah-ha,I can just suck up the spoon!

---

@leah_estelle I like this philosophy.

---

I always slip. We're human..I slipped tonight taking random nibbles while making lunch for tomorrow...and I ate more than 2 bites of these delicious brownies. At least I know I'm putting in half the crap I was putting in my body before. Tomorrow will always be better!!!

---

Thanks Dana92484...This diary certainly does open your eyes to how much unessential "crap" we eat. I think I may limit the number of times a day I can eat, try to stop this eating one thing and immediately planning the next. Good Luck to me on that thought.

---

poor elli, i know your problems very well but eating nothing isn't the solution. be sensible with the things you eat, eat a lot of wholemeal, spelt-pasta and something like this. Eat a lot of friuts and vegetables - "good" carbohydrates. And do a lot of sport - use the bike instead of the car, walk around and have fun! this will work better than eating nothing! i'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

---

No! Don't do that ... not eating anything will only put your body in "starvation mode". You may not like this, but, you actually may not be eating enough calories - REALLY! Try having 1400 calories for a few days (and get some exercise, anything you can do) ... see if that helps the scale to "be friendly". Don't starve yourself :)

---

TWYE shows you as being at this less then a month! That 10 pounds will take ten weeks to lose at a pound a week. In the mean time, scales will hove a pound or two either way due to things like differences in water weight, digestion speed, and randomness!

---

Youll stop your metabolism in its tracks. The first few days is the hardest, if you lose a pound your lucky your body has to get used to eating less and moving more. Also you should be eating at least 1000 calories. Probably more like 1200 or 1300. If you eat small meals or snacks 4-6 times a day it will speed up your metabolism, and give you the energy to excercise.

---

good luck i am on the same diet starting tomorrow :) hope we can assist each other

---

Wow wish I could help...you're working on the last 10 pounds. I need the first 10 and all those in between. Anyway, just throwing some positive vibes your way. Hang in there.

---

After 130 lbs its harder to lose weight, you have to work out harder and eat less. How tall are you? Because 110 is really tiny. If your 5'2 or over you probably wouldnt be able to get to that weight.

---

Well you should probably get the daily intake of calories, it's probably not 1000. Not eating can actually slow down your metabolism. Plus, working out and stuff helps too. :)

---

@snicole90 well i'm 5,5 but it has to work would be thankful for some tips

---

Congrats on losing two pounds! Thank you for the compliment; I'm trying to eat better after starting off the summer with a family reunion that included way too much alcohol and junk food and ending the season with too much chocolate cake and ice cream. Keeping an online food diary is definitely helpful.

---

Female, age 59,weight 185. I, too, am good about sticking to a commitment, however, I've tried to do this alone too many times before. I'm puttting myself out there for the first time.

---

---

okay..let's try to do it together..i'm not sure how this works, but as long as i'm doing it i'll be brutally honest with my entries. SIGH

---

It's not giving me the option to add you as a friend????

---

@dajero1 Thanks for the response. I got back on line instead of eating something dangerous. I am not computer savy. I hope we can figure this out. I really think it will help.

---

Okay you are now added as a friend. Can you see my diary? Girl, you like your wine..... :) Be strong..hang in there the first weeks are the hardest.

---

@dajero1 Good for you for the exercise. Adding it to your food list is a great idea. Yes, my goal for today was to not drink wine, but.... 30 lbs. in 3 months. Doable if you keep exercising. OK, brutal honesty from me. I just ate a stupid 260 cal pk of peanuts. Why? because they were there. I know, get rid of junk foods from my house. I will not give up.

---

@dajero1

---

LOL I know where you are coming from...got to get all the snack stuff out of the house...can't throw it away. Hang in there. EAT GOOD FOODS. LEARN TO LOVE THE VEGGIES

---

PS don't get down on yourself and enjoy your wine in moderation. GEE I sound like Bob Greene or someone.

---

I'm new to the sight too. Just keep on trying, you will do it one of these times!! I'm 44 and I'd like to lose coincidentally about 44 lbs LOL I just joined twye over the weekend and I'm doing pretty good logging so far. I actually don't think I'm eating quite enough which may explain why I've been stuck at this weight for awhile. Either of you can feel free to check out my diaries and or friend me. Input from another person is always helpful. We can do this! :)

---

good luck!! I'm trying to get back on track too!

---

Same here...no more excuses. Trying to make the right connection for a diet buddy.

---

@dajero1 I'll be your buddy!

---

im looking for a buddy as well, because im trying to lose weight since 2 years and it's also a rollercoaster...i hate it.

---

Exercising is difficult for me as well...more because of my schedule rather than soreness...for me, I just can't think about it. I just make sure all my stuff is ready for the morning (and I exercise first thing, because I will never "fit" in time later in the day) and just get up and go. Just like it is easier for you to journal using TWYE because you get instant "feel good" because you are staying on track, it will be motivation when you don't think and just "do it" with exercise. Don't think about it, just get it done, and as you get stronger/fitter it gets way easier. And easier to ignore that voice in your head that tells you you'll do it later, and as you get used to just making it a fact of life, like going to work, you'll be motivated. You just have to get there. Good luck!

---

For the aching, I would say stretch at the beginning, middle and end...It helps because the muscles can become tense

---

When I get a fraction I just round up if more than 0.5 or round down for less than 0.5, it works out over the day so don't worry!

---

I have this problem too. I just record the exact weight in the comments box.

---

@jackiedpepper Thanks for your information and good luck for you!!

---

@rockgoddess, good luck! What magazine did you read about TWYE in?

---

@alexressi I think it was Company, just an old one I found lieing around at work on my break

---

Totally In The Same Boatt (N) Night Time Snacking Is The Worst :( But Just Think Of Something You Can Look Forward To after You've Lost This Weight :)

---

cat come on!!! never give up girl!!! you know we all got bad days too... but the cool thing is that we can get back on track and get our goals!!! so if you ate a lot, let`s say this last week you ate a lot of candies, and cakes etc at the night ok who cares?? let`s start over!! never is too late, so let`s go, and reach what we want to reaach, you`re brave, and remember we can loose a lot of little battles but we won`t never ever lose the war ok?

---

@Keddmia Thanks so much!! I am working on getting back on track right now, and I'm feeling pretty good now that I am almost out of that slump. Your kind words are very helpful. Thanks for your reply! Everyone in here is in this together and it feels great to know there are people out there that feel the same way.

---

@ Thanks!! I am working hard at gettig out of that slump and at the moment i am feeling pretty good. I know there are going to be more "Slumps" but I'm going to try not to lose focus. Thanks so much for your reply!

---

Hi Cat, I would say the way to avoid snacking and especially night time snacking is to up your protein in your last meal and lower the carbs. That way you avoid that night time craving. I used to eat at night and it completely stopped it. Also watch fruit intake late as it has the same effect. Filly...

---

Don't give up just yet! I lost a stone and then lost motivation because I thought I didn't need to do anymore - but it's going to pile back on. I just think about how guilty I feel when I eat rubbish, in comparison to how great I feel when I've kept to my daily limit and don't feel like a whale. Focus on that! It's not too late to start up again. I had a week of eating cake, chinese,burgers etc and now I'm back on it. Good luck :)

---

Yes! I'm so happy you brought this up! It's definitely an eye-opening documentary for a lot of people. Have you seen King Corn? That's another interesting one...also Fresh. Eating local and knowing where your food comes from is so important!
