beans.

half baked/somewhat raw homemade cookies. my husband used the wrong scoop, so the volume was twice what it should have been.. but cooked assuming it was the same time as the small scoop. so they were SOOOOOO gooey and so irresistible.. i may or may not have eaten half the batch. gross, i know. i have thoroughly given…

i'm roughly the same size as you and most calculators i use list similar TDEE. suggested calorie deficits will vary. i'm using mfp's "2 lbs per week" goal myself, which is proving a little difficult and is not actually losing 2 lbs a week, so there's obviously some wiggle room to be expected.

hello fabulous 40+ folks! mind if i join you? i'm canadian. i'm trying to lose 100 lbs or so. i'm new at all this stuff, but i'm happy to meet you :)

water fluctuations can easily explain this variance. my weight regularly goes up and down about 3kg, sometimes in less than 24 hours.

i quite agree. different ingredients IN soup might affect your thyroid or other systems, but soup itself? there's nothing about boiling food in water that's going to suddenly affect your thyroid. if you're not hypothyroid now you have nothing to worry about. if you are hypothyroid, stay away from soy and look up other…

my abdominal girth has varied up to 4 inches when things are not right in my digestive system. as soon as the condition is taken care of, i'm smaller again.

play with the macronutrient ratios and see if that makes a difference. less fat, more carbs for example. sometimes a body kind of gets used to doing the same ol' same ol', and when you introduce a change it'll change. it sounds like you're pretty close to your goal weight, so you're bound to hit plateaus for a while. with…

my experience is similar. i never chose to be a vegetarian because of animal cruelty. i chose to be one because i couldn't afford meat. doesn't mean i wasn't a vegetarian at that time. when i could afford meat, i bought myself a big fat steak and enjoyed every minute of it. only slight bellyache after, and that's probably…

is your colon clear? gas or backed-up solids (sorry..) can really bloat out the abdomen.

i did specify that it is not magic.

nutrisystem - oddly enough i loved most of the food, but it was so freaking expensive it was unsustainable and it taught me nothing except how to use a microwave. i can get a frozen lean cuisine for a lot cheaper and it'd probably be just as effective. weight watchers - current system is great. but i did it in the days of…

yes, it is an issue. his BMI is 55. i don't want him to keel over and die on me. i'm not going to put the screws on him but i do hope he'll follow my lead and make a few changes.

guys, slim-fast is very sugary, high GI, and contains very little protein. it's crap. isagenix is low sugar, low gi, and tons of protein. they're really, really not comparable. i find isagenix is useful if you treat it just as a regular meal replacement, not thinking it's going to be a magic pill to lose weight. i make a…

it's called bioelectrical impedance. the scale sends a very small current through your body. lean tissue, blood, fluids all conduct electricity very well. fat insulates against conduction. they weigh you, they measure how much current is getting through (and isn't) and then they calculate how much fat you have and how much…

ps. i realize everything in life has a chemical composition, i'm just giving an example of what the "anti-chemical" folk are talking about.

no, that is combining two natural foods. chemicals are things like splenda, which does not occur in nature, and gives me seizures.
