    Anyone else have a hard time keeping their mouth shut when someone post something completely stupid? Not any of you on this thread, but CW has so entrenched people with ignorance it’s comical at times. Like this one, “is it safe or healthy to fast for a day?” I’m like, really? What do you think your body stores fat for, just to destroy your self esteem?

    It was my goal, from like Jan 1st to be under 200 by my birthday. and tomorrow is my birthday, so that's why it means so much to me. I weign in on fridays too. I weign in on thursdays, fridays, and mondays. I know it seems like alot. but i'm a very competitive person and being in competitions really help me lose and keeps me on track. I'm in one at work, I'm in scaleback alabama where i weigh in at my gym, and I also have a group on here I weigh in with every friday. Some people don't like the scale or it discourages them. but I know enough about water weight, glycogen stores, etc..etc.. that a higher number doesn't scare me. I know that thinks fluctuate from day to day. it just motivates me even more. I also take measurements at the beginning of every month and i also have a fat loss body monitor, the kind they use at gyms. trust me, i'm losing this weight!!! I've seen too many people have babies and then let the extra weight stick around for years using the excuse that its baby weight! I was 198 when I got pregnant, so I'm really close to my prepregnancy weight. but then I have another 60 lbs to lose ;)

    Haha I must admit that is kind of funny, but I've had the same thoughts and needed opinions! There are several topics that do make me laugh though! I think we just have to laugh to ourselves and continually educate!!!

    I have found that what works best for one person doesn't for another, so as long as you're doing what is best for MissKim, keep it up! You are definitely doing wonderfully so just keep it up :)

    So, speaking of fiber, (someone mentioned it earlier today) I looked at mine, and its def something I'm lacking in, even with eating tons of veggies. What do yall recomend?

    XFitMojoMom = Pam... and I'm a Canuck. Yep, a tree hugging Canadian... damn us, we're everywhere.:laugh:

    If you do a search here on MFP someone recently posted a recipe for homemade Nutella..

    I've been circling the drain with my nutrition lately. I got some decent meat in the freezer and I just need to throw it in the slow cooker, but not tonight. My IL's and nieces are in town and we're going for pizza. Cheese and wine have been killing me lately :explode: I so need to get back on the plan. I need to revise my mini goals and set new ones and just muscle ahead and get them done!

    More veggies or change them to ones with more fiber. Fruit if it's not out of the question. Supplement worst case.

    I think with fiber initially you'll see a downfall, but you're body readjusts and you actually become healthier if you continue eating primal. Just stick with it! But veggies, veggies, veggies!

    Fiber...well, I think it partly depends on how much of a fat eater you are. If you tend to be on the higher end of fat, you tend to have less of a problem "moving things along." But those whose taste buds or physiological makeup want less fat, and feel like you need more fiber, I really like flax meal. Its a seed, its relatively tasteless and has very little texture when ground up, so it can be added into food, which is how I like my supplements (I'm not much of a pill swallower).

    But...think about why you think you "need" more fiber. Don't go by a recommended number. Go by what your body seems to think it needs for digestion. If your bathroom habits are going along fine, then you're probably eating plenty of fiber.

    That's my humble little two cents...
