Wow, no wonder I'm not losing a lot of weight. Gotta log my seasonings and spices? And my vitamins? Never even considered that stuff. I wonder how I should log my medications....haha. I guess if it isn't plain water, and you put it in your mouth, you should be logging it, right?

The headache is most likely from dehydration.

Joyce: Although I don't know you, I have some advice. If your Vet does in fact declaw your cat, find a new Vet because any Vet that will do it now days should have his license revoked. It's not really a matter of removing the cat's "claw"s, they remove all the cat's finger's up to the first knuckle joint. How would you…

I have just recently started intermittent fasting too. I am trying to more closely trying to follow a 24 hr fast but sometimes it's more like an 18:6. I am reading Dr. Jason Fung's book "The Obesity Code." I have Diabetes also this book is so enlightening into the stupidity of dieting. Even my personal doctor is impressed…

Try intermittent fasting. I think that's that way to go. I think you're eating to often for one. You're body doesn't need to be feed that often. Look into fasting for a while. It works.

If you really want to understand insulin resistance go to You Tube and look up Dr. Jason Fung? He is a Kidney Specialist from Toronto I think and has some terrific and very informative seminars about insulin resistance, diabetes and weight loss. I am very intrigued. Oh, and I discussed his ideas with my Dr. and he agrees…

I hate to point it out, but not too many of you look like you need to be dieting. You all look pretty slim to me. Am I in the wrong place? Is this the winner's circle or something? Guess I better make a quick list of all these foods - huh. Thanks everyone. You all look great. :wink:

Congrats! I'm am so jealous.

Do you have a good recipe for your lazy pants easy bread?

Are there other stored menu items on this website? I'd love to see some menu ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.

Really Good Advice. I noted this too. I have the same problem. Being hungry and feeling like I want more food and my calories allow.

Fantastic Work You Two! Wow! You Guy look Great...Just Great. Do you have any good instructions for those of us who are just starting? I have lost my first 10 lbs, but I have 150 to go. I could certainly use some hints or ways that worked for a successful couple. What do you attribute your success over a year to? What was…

A pound of fat = 3500 calories. You have to create a deficit of 3500 calories to lose a pound of fat. It's as simply as that. If you reduce your intake over a period of time by a total of 3500 calories or you use/burn more calories than you normally would to reduce the 3500 calories, it's still a matter of creating that…

I have fibromyalgia too. I can't believe you can work full time first of all and can still can manage to care for your family and be able to care for yourself. I wouldn't be able to do it. Kudos to you for getting through that. While having FMS, I think we have to accept smaller achievements in weight loss simply because…

I'm very inspired now. Thanks everybody..... ;)

I don't recognize you either... :D That's your funny for the day. Great Job Girl. Can't wait until I can post those two pictures.

I see that I need to be more responsible and more demanding of myself. I am trying some of your hints for filling things to curb hunger so I can have a fairly normal dinner with my husband.

That's a good idea. I'll definitely use that.

Ok, I get it. Now Macros makes sense to me. I understand what you're all talking about now.

Wow, I'm so inspired. You guys have given me so many new ideas. A lot of stuff to consider and figure out about what I'm doing. Need to do some menu revamping. May sound stupid, but what are MACROS? I'm not in that loop I guess. I have found so many things in these posts that I have a list of things to start looking up…

I did start measuring and weighing my foods and got the shock treatment I needed from that. So now I know I need to do that all the time, guessing is foolish. You have to weigh and measure. I also had to get my shock treatment from the fats and carbs and also the salts I was eating before I started this diet. WOW! I really…

I sorry for the negative comment but labeling your problem as "starvation mode" is just plain wrong. You first need to get honest with yourself before you ask for help. How can you call 1100 calories (if that is what it is) a state of starvation? You are obviously not starving. That was a very dishonest title to call our…
