Adopt. Don't encourage breeding. GREAT dogs already available and needing homes. I have 2. Couldn't be happier.

Stonewall's Horseradish Aoli . wow. Got to learn how to make it. I eat it straight.

ok. So. the breath thing. I get a no sugar gum and eat half of it. Otherwise I am afraid I alienate everyone I speak to . Is that sweetener a problem with losing weight? You think?

Jon Stewart bought a farm in NJ to protect abused farm animals. My dream. There is so much abuse and sadness. If you have ever loved a pet, you should never tolerate the abuse of those less fortunate.

easy on the ham. Lots of salt. just saying

I have a septic system and so , NO GREASE. Dogs are the perfect dishwasher. Happy to hear folks agree about this. I think a lot of dog food is poison. Makes our animals sick. Thanks for the support. As always.

I am terrified of the scale so I read your pain. Then when something fits better, I don't trust that it might not be in my imagination Terrible place to get stuck. Talk about a long journey. I want someone to say something. "oh, you've lost weight. We'll see. Not giving up. My butcher eats the same; recommends meat cuts…

buy a pre roasted chicken. So much potential. I douse it in Stonewall's horseradish aioli. Done. Wowzer. It can be dipped in mayo too. All while standing at the counter. :)

Doc. My weight loss is slow. But I have seen changes. I am phobic about the scale and have not been on in weeks. I look for clothing changes, measurements. I am large boned 5'7" , muscular and started at @ 200. lbs. last weigh in was 195 . 4 weeks ago. I am in very good physical heath: low blood pressure. My nephew is a…

At 67 , I am on vagifem. low dose. <20 grams of carbs and hard to get the required fats and protein because my appitite isn't great. Have eliminated many veggies. Had a salad with avacodo but less meat. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week about 35 -40 minutes between a Lateral machine and free weights targeting my arms and…

do you snore?

This is taking a long time for me but it IS making a difference Some days I am simply not hungry, but today, SO hungry and so, I am just going to eat. My shortcut to check if I am doing ok is to add my carbs and protein together at each meal and see if that total is less than my fat grams. It really keeps me on track. Good…

Me? I am a thigh gal. Cheap and fat. I love chicken salad made with mayo. Add a little celery, some slivered almonds. I love a slice of chicken and a slather of CAINS mayo. Forget Hellmans. Sugar. Wow to minties 82 . That sounds like a lovely dish.

Egg SALAD, with Cains mayo. Chicken SALAD, with Cains mayo. Cains mayo. Cream cheese and celery. Cream cheese mixed with salsa and celery. Cream cheese and pork rinds. Cream cheese on a spoon.

A lot of weight very fast. 2lbs a week is ideal. Smile say, "thank you," and trust yourself.

Yup. Good basic with carb levels. Also lots of good talk about the way it works.

better yet? egg salad. Eggs and mayo GOOD mayo. salt pepper and a launch into heaven. Deviled are more work. Just chop 'em up and add the mayo. Same thing.

Boy, I feel your frustration. . Weight loss is so slow for me . I have changed my macros and increased my fat. But I simply have to watch the calorie thing. 1600 but I exercise a lot. In 12 weeks I have only lost 5 lbs. It is discouraging. I see such progress in others. I try to get my protein and carb count to be under my…

last weigh in: 194 after 8 days of stomach flu. Expected to be 125. You might guess I was disappointed. Starting weight January 15th was 199. Haven't weighed since because I don't want to find out I have gained. <20 carbs, generally 15. Have adoped the "FIT GOAT" approach: ditch the vegetables. Vegetables are salad greens…

I am humbled by the great responses knowing we all carry something that , if we allow it to, will interrupt our lives. Choice is always an option as Sajyna so eloquently shared; what strength there is in choice. I don't think about I missed from my mother, but instead, focus on the strengths I gained from making choices…

Narcissism. I didn't know what it was until I was an adult. Ah ha, I thought. My mother. I have met others who suffered a narcissitic parent, spouse, sister. I started writing. Memoir. A fabulous class with Joyce Maynard brought the light. She stripped us down before telling us we were now ready to write. Take a memoir…

I saw this wild bike with tires almost as big as car tires, not really but the fattest ones to date. Say, maybe I will suggest a lc/hf diet to the poor *kitten*.

In any given meal I try to make sure my grams of protein and carbs add up to be equal to or less than my grams of fat. I am Limited to 1600 cals/day and about 100 grams of protein max. Often don't make it that high with less than 20 grams of carbs. I also exercise a fair amount.

These people are being "used" for entertainment value. They are deeply damaged and live with enablers who are also damaged. It is making TLC rich. The failure rate is 90%. because there is no support at home. Many are poor and undereducated. Look at their families who are almost as heavy as they are . One lovely man, I…

crustless cheese cake. Why bother with a crust? Spray your tin. Problem with cheese cake is when to stop eating all those tiny tasting bits. Pretty soon half is gone! There are a LOT of calories . Just saying, not that Goat is counting but some of us need to.

Watch the deli meat as it can have sugar added and cheese is the tie that binds. I just finished a salad of Romaine, (2 cups) diced chicken from the roaster I buy , two tbs. of Cedars Tabouli salad and a quarter avacado. Topped the delicious mess with 3 tbs of Maries Chunky blue cheese dressing. Great second act to 4…

I am going to buy me a Kim Kardashian corset. Train my waist to be small.

Hog poopy. Exercise. Don't be ridiculous. It is cheaper than therapy.

Do not fear eating fat. That was a huge hurdle for someone like me who was trained by no fat diets. Secondly, you need to want to do this. Commitment is essential. Being overweight brings a lot of other emotional baggage along with it. You need to unload that baggage on your journey or else, it won't work. If you watch my…
