I think that is a great step! The fact that HE felt secure enough to admit that he doesn't want other men looking is a HUGE step forward. He's just admitted (whether he knows it or not) his insecurity although it presented as jealousy. Yay! So you have the root of the problem. I know you're obviously going to be very…

No matter! It's still related to bacon no matter how you spell it! :wink:

oooooo that's a good one!! Thanks for illustrating that difference. How you can't even compare yourself to YOU never mind anyone else. Very interesting. I'm going to think on that one. I can imagine it was very freeing as well! I'm very happy for you! My first thought when reading about your size 12 dilemna was that (in…

Completely agree. Frustrating as it may be, it's the norm. As for the cheese, it could definitely be something to keep an eye on if you don't see any loos over the next few weeks but at this stage it is normal to have a big loss and then nothing for a week or even two. In my case I had a big loss for the first week, 1…

wooweee! Yeah that tomato soup recipe looks awesome and easy. I would totally carb binge for that! The Beast loves soup. I'm gonna look like a super hero this weekend! and that jello/cream cheese thing Whaaaat? we'll save that for a special ocasion that won't break the carb bank! thanks alot!

If any of that sounds remotely good? Sounds great! Look forward to reading your posts! Welcome aboard, I think you WILL like it here. FR sent. :smiley:

See that's the funny thing though. He's never been a "body builder" just using his body. It's uber strong when it comes to functional strength. just not bulked like a builder would be. Now, it seems to be just bulking on it's own! But yeah, that sounds reasonable. Maybe his testosterone is raising. Something to look into!

I'm thankful for all the rebels. All the people who live outside the box. Those who gave me the courage to do my own things and be my own person. This applies to many areas not the least of which is this WOE. To all those who seek a path that works for them regardless of the naysayers and all those who would believe the…

Well... of all the limitations you listed for your family, none of them are meat. So that's good. YOU seem to be the one with the meat limitation. One option we do here is whomever is cooking (seems like in your family that would be you), just puts aside some of the meat before it is "contaminated" with carbs. Actually…

Yes! I hear you loud and clear. don't let the frustration get the better of you. You deserve to be well and happy. Trust the process. Get used to your new weight. Enjoy where you're at even, but continue with what you know has worked. I fully believe you can get there. Congratulations on coming this far!

No, I didn't really see any other changes over the 6 weeks (good changes that is). I did feel yucky, bloated and as though I was gaining for a week. Then last week my skin got really giggly. Kinda like it was too big, not really tight and that got me thinking that maybe my body was getting ready to let go of some weight.…

bahahahahah!

ha! that looks like so much fun! I'll have to try it!

Hahaaaa Sajyana! You vaccuum sucks up your soul!! Wow! That is one powerful vaccuum!! Mine barely gets all the dog hair! Not sure I want to switch brands for your though. I hear you! I rent three of our 4 bedrooms to students. Allows us to live on our income, but MAN ALIVE they do not clean and it's hard to keep up with…

Oh yeah! Way to go. And just a while ago you were cautious as to whether you be able to loose 100 in 1 year and you did it early! Booyah! Can't wait to join you on that mountain top! It can be done. Good job in deed. I'm so glad you got to that goal and God willing you'll get to those other goals as well. (big ol' garage…

I started zero carb with the meativore may challenge and I have not looked back! For me, I've learned it's not so much the number of carbs (although they do need to be as close to zero as I can get) but the KIND of carbs will really matter. Artificial sweetner, eaten once, will give me crazy making cravings for a day and…

I hear you too Dan. I can't be bothered to go through pages of the automatic status updates so I often miss a lot of things. Like, I miss a lot of your funny updates :-( But I understand why people may still want to "announce" it all. I think a lot of people though don't know you can turn the things off. I didn't! I also…

I second that! Make your own. I'm going to try using the lime juice instead and see what that's like! Our doesn't last long at all cause we love it soooo much better than store bought we use it for everything mayo-like. mayo, spread, dip, salad dressing, everything!

@toadqueen I was always kind of "meh, whatever" about mayo until I made my own!! Tried a few different tweaks, and like I said above... for better or worse, now we eat at least a litre of the stuff a week! Highly recommend you try it. We don't mess with the 'drizzle slowly' bit either. I don't dump it all in, but maybe 1/8…

I'm also going to go with the upping the carbs theory. but I'm going to add that IMO it's also more likely the KIND of carbs you added. You mentioned sweet potatoes and higher carb veggies. I think these are your culprits. I know everybody is different but as an example: I've finally realized how sensitive my body is and…

wow keith, interesting. I don't know but I'm interested to know what others think. It sounds good! I make my mayo with "vegetable" oil or sunflower oil 'cause we have a lot of it here. I find olive oil has too strong a taste for me. I also don't use an emulsion blender 'cause I dont have one either. I just use an old…

Ok. I feel silly. What is a water pill?

ok just found him. it's donpendergraft. he's an ultrarunner! sheesh! I'm tired already.

If you can find on here to "friend" or in the fb group, I believe his name is Don Pendergraf(t) (sp). He does what just about anyone would call endurance running and he's been experimenting with fuel. Might want to look him up. He runs 50+ km or is it miles. Gosh I'm hoping it's 50km, because 50 miles is just super human!…

Unfortunately, from all the TOM posts I've read... yep, it's normal. :( Not everyone experiences it but many do. So it's not to worry about except that it's really annoying!! If I didn't have to have that TOM I would be further ahead in my weight loss. I usually average 2lbs a week, except that week. The best I can hope…

@nvsmomketo Blending it up does not "destroy" the fiber in the sense that the carb count will change. It will just chew it up into smaller pieces. The fiber and hence the carbs are still there, just smoother, like you already chewed them :wink:

Bahahahahaha! That was exactly what I was thinking!

I feel your pain, in both senses. I LOVE dairy, anything related to dairy. BUT, just like bread and other carbs that should be a sign to me that it's doing funky things in my body right? I couldn't lose an oz until I cut them all, carbs and dairy. At first I thought "that's it. The rest of my life will be miserable" But…

I live in Canada very close to a city named Montreal. I also have a French Canadian Heritage. There is a man named Georges St-Pierre who we say is 'from' Montreal He's actually from a small town just outside there. That's how we Canadians have to roll sometimes. Your 'town' is so small you have to say the nearest larger…

Although I don't have 100+ to loose (total of about 75lbs) I'm almost 1/2 way and I'm feeling the same as you. This is the lowest I can remembere being and it's now easy to move around and do things. There's less motivation to keep pushing. So, what I've done is I just keep trying to remember what it was like when I…
