Tomorrow is weigh in for the OFC challenge.

So, since I am still gaining weight; I thought I would offer up an explanation. My four favorite food groups: sugar, fat, salt, and chocolate.
This could be why I have so much trouble losing
weight. I LOVE cookies, cakes, candies, and
salty snacks. OK----your turn: offer me some
healthy alternatives. LOL

Try the low fat pringles... only 60 calories for 14 chips and zero fat, 1 serving of carbs.

It takes some effort to get past these cravings, but it's worth it. Eat fresh fruit when you crave sugars. Grapes helped me through the hardest part.
You'll find that after a while you just don't crave the sugars as much, then it's not hard at all.

As for salt, that may be a mineral deficiency. If you're not taking a good vitamin/mineral supplement each day, start.

You're worth the effort. You have a whole life to live and it's your choice how to live it. We're all here for you.

ok, well here it goes. I need to eat this today so I will share. The low fat peanut butter (protein) on the good old celery. An oldie but goodie. I love this combo. Good luck today you and I need it right? Hugs Denise

I have been told that when yer body is craving sugar yer actually in need of protein. and if you can stick with just a few, roasted almonds are a good source of the salty and protein

For me I had to cut all the processed carbs out to cut the cravings.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
