Agreed. He is the worst possible face we could show the rest of the world!0

Well, I don't usually rant. This is more of a lament. I joined a Paleo/Primal support group and I guess it was a mistake. I assumed everyone was as nice/supportive as in this group...ummm...no. Check out the thread: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10405942/primal-sweet-snacks#latest
Is it me?? Did I say something wrong?? I was just asking a question as I am new to Primal. I know it shouldn't bother me. It kinda does. Some 'support' group...sheesh.

Ugh, so rude. I think FWIW they are responding to a pattern of people asking those questions, not you specifically, but it's not welcoming at all.
*Have* you read the whole book? It sounds similar to the frustration I used to feel when people thought I couldn't eat fruits and veggies on Atkins. Atkins' books talk so much about how to choose your fruits and veggies, but there are A LOT of people doing "Atkins" who have never read any of his books. They're living on bacon and eggs and Diet Coke and they don't exercise. They may be accustomed to newbies asking those questions without truly understanding the program.
Think you're just fine without those $&@holes. Stay with us

Guess lower carbs makes for some grumpies...
Thank you for your kind response, Valerie. You're right I'll stay right here and no where else. People be crazy....1 -
There's just no need for that in a support group1
-
Wow.....people can be so self righteous in the boards too. I dont understand why People feel the need to be such aholes.0

Aww i was only a couple of people - there's some in every group (apart from ours) you didn't do anything wrong really. It's just Paleo/Primal are more geared towards eating for life and the people in there can get quite arsey when you're trying to use it as a weight loss tool... having said that though loads of people do lose weight and Marks Sisson does recommend certain carb levels for weight loss so don't know why they have to get like that with you. I do second reading the Primal Blueprint book though - it's well worth a read. Go onto Marks Daily Apple for some info too. I think it could help

Yup, I have read the book, pop into the the Daily Apple as well. I also am fond of the podcasts too. I just didn't share, I don't really think that particular commentor really cared. That board is not terribly active and I can guess why. No worries. I like it here where the grass is greener and everyone is friendly.

It's a pleasure to read your posts, I get smarter and wiser by the second! Thank you girls!!!1 -
Donald Trump, really?
He hates women....
I think he loves women....a little too much....and has a standard he believes every woman should meet. Obviously that is foreign, willowy, blonde model. So much to not like about all three candidates. I am not setting my hopes on any of them to improve our nation or our world.0 -
Hmmm...this seems silly. I am bugged when I lose weight=>I lose my boobs. 2

I am hoping to lose a little in that area because I am out of proportion. Unfortunately, they blew up when I had my first child, then didn't reduce when I lost weight twice before. Since I am older, I am hopeful to lose SOME so I regain proportion.

@karenenriquez1225 I don't have much in that department fat or thin, but I find push/pull workouts help plump up those muscles...you know, various kinds of push-ups and pull-ups in different hand positions. Anything that works the pecs will make you feel better about the cleavage and general area

Help. Please. Any suggestions will be appreciated and considered.
I really struggle on Saturdays when I visit my son. Folks, when vending machines are your ONLY choice for at least one meal and snack, well, I know you can see the dilemma. I exercised before leaving and should have eaten a big breakfast, but instead I grabbed a package of cashews and a quart of water while pumping gas on my way. The stress level was a little high today, so I was hitting my comfort foods and a pint of orange juice. I usually stick to water no matter what I eat. I could carry a small cooler to keep in my vehicle and eat some small snack before going in and something more substantial after I leave. I am usually there 5 hours. The healthiest options in the machines are: peanuts, yogurt raisins, fruit and nut trail mix, orange juice, sometimes apple juice, water. Entrees - probably the chicken in the chicken sandwiches if I eliminate the bun.
Ideas of what to eat before and immediately after?0 -
I would eat something filling and we'll balanced before. Maybe a chicken wrap with avacado on it. Afterwards it depends on your needs. If all you need is a snack to tide you over till you get home the cashews should be fine. If you need something more filling another of the above or I like a boiled egg (if I am home its a deviled egg), cheese stick, either an apple or orange, and a serving of wheat thins. It is incredibly filling and my favorite lunch.2

I am really found of the mason jar salads( you can find recipes on Pinterest). You can put them in a thermal lunch bag with a cold pack or two. If you have any room left in the bag you could put some fruits/veggies in there too. I like hard bolied egg or jerky for extra protein.4

Thank you, ladies. These are good ideas and I am looking forward to to trying some of them this weekend. I will share that today was a much better day. Even though we ended up eating out because we were out of town longer than expected, I ordered a healthy salad and drank water while hubby inhaled two sandwiches and waffle fries that were very tempting. Proud of me!

I am going to visit my son in a bit This week, I won't be staying long, as it is on my way out of town for my granddaughter's 4th birthday tomorrow. What's bugging me today is this. I have a large lump - which may be nothing - but the weight loss has revealed a difference that needs to be checked out. I know that no matter what, I will be okay. But today and all this week, it is really bugging me. Thoughts and prayers would be appreciated.0

You've got it! And we've got your back 1

Hoovhome, we're all here for you. You've got this.1

Thank you, ladies. I thought about not posting about this. On a brighter note, we had a great weekend and brought our 4 year old grandson home with us for a three-week visit. Our son's family with three little ones will be here next weekend for 3 days and my 5-year old niece's Mom just went back to work, so we have her every weekday. There are great things happening and I am looking forward to every day of it! God is good.3

Update: I had a clinic visit today that revealed a one large and one small lump with no palpable lymph activity and no necrosis. With the size of the large lump without necrosis, she was encouraged and believes this will be benign. I will have a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound on August 1. It would be sooner, but I am continuing life as normal, which means church camp next week. We also learned today that we will have the four-year-old grandson for a few months, so will enroll him in pre-k here.
I am encouraged, hopeful, and continuing to trust God. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.0 -

Thank you, ladies. I had a biopsy yesterday and will have results next week. Will also likely have an MRI next week regardless of biopsy results. Until then, I am living every moment I draw breath to the best of my ability.0

Hoping your biopsy results are good. Praying for the best1

Love, prayers, and hugs @hoovhome1

Thread killer.
Lately when I log in, I see my name as the last to post several days prior. I am sorry my situation seems to have caused a damper on the group. I am proud of us and hope we will all keep pushing toward our goals, regardless of whatever circumstances we are facing. Thank you for hanging in there! 0
