I think one of the reasons I may gain my weight back is I feel no one ever notices. Why? Because I am wearing the same clothes as before. A few times I have lost 50 lbs. People only seem to notice when I start binging again so their complement means nothing to me (well, that's another issue). I am proud of you for your…

Noel_57 -- too funny lol I had it for the first time this weekend. Vanilla bean - tasty, cookies and cream not so much. Had the red velvet made into a milk shake - pretty good.

Hi, I would get headaches too but I used to think it was because I was eating so much less and probably not enough. Good luck :)

Hi, Thanks for all your thoughts and suggestions :)

Personally, I need to lose about 140 pounds. I have Type 2 Diabetes, Thyroid issues, high blood pressure - all controlled with meds. But because my knees are bone-on-bone plus my size, it is getting very hard to move and work. I am sure my body is very inflammed (sp?). So I would think that doing without the above items,…

Don't forget the healthy fats like avocado and small portion of nuts or EVOO. I am always trying to do what you want to do. 2 P or 3, D 2, F 2, veg - unlimited etc.

Brznhabits, thanks so much for sharing your recipe. Looks easy enough and maybe healthier than ready made bars? :)

for Mrs. Seiger and Original Poster: Are you doing any snacks in between and if so, what are they? Thanks

The ground beef, turkey or sausage recipes with dry shredded cabbage - seems interesting and simple. Do you guys use any sauce with it? One of you mentioned to leave some of the oil in the pan from the meat. Can of chicken or turkey salad, add mayo, and/or diced celery and/or Bermuda onions. Good with cucumber slices or…

Good luck!!!!!!! You will do great!!!!

Thank you for the you tube site - the health nerd. I already watched two of them; helpful!

Thank you!

evileen99 lol I hear it all the time too. Combine a protein with a fruit, combine a carb with protein and a fruit yada yada yada

Wow, you were so lucky. I found your 10 pounds with my week of eating/binge. Maybe you actually did maintenance calories but even then, how did you lose 10 lbs? What a great boost. When are you going back to Boston to drop another 10? I think I will head that way.

I have bought them but found the sodium context super high. And I also did not really enjoy the taste. I did nutra system for only 1 month. Too much sodium, not healthy foods. I would really like to buy them because I do understand your thinking that you would know what is for your dinner and just eat that. I don't think…

I always heard this about water - to drink really cold water to help you lose weight faster. So if I tell my hubby to bring me home a cherry ice/ice cream gelato to help with my weight loss, do you think he will buy it? lol

In US, I believe it costs roughly $10,000. MPH323, Someone close to me may be having it done soon. How long was your recovery time? And able to go back to work? Another friend is having a double mascectomy, I know, totally different but she was told she can't drive, be in a car and basically she can't move for 6 weeks.…

I have lost 20 pounds many different times, 50 pounds a few different times, 60 pounds. And I never feel thinner. I think a big part of the problem is I am wearing the same clothes. The pants or capris all have a stretch waist and the tops are roomy. No one has ever noticed, even after the 60 pound loss. So I am…

Give him telephone numbers for housekeepers. Let him call and make an appointment to clean his house for every other week. If he can see well enough, he can make the phone call himself and also pay for the cleaner. Also I am sure there must be transportation for him to go to the doctors - many towns have it for the disable…

Hi, I know someone contemplating breast surgery. Even though now you are not considering breast surgery, every time you go to the doctor for whatever reason, mention your breasts and how hard it is to exercise, backaches, lines on your shoulders from the bras. Then make sure your doctor documents it every time you are…

I have overate since February 2 which is different for me than my usual binge. But I continue at my next meal eating ok. Not letting it derail me. I still need to learn a lot of things (like I am banking my calories (like I used to do) if I knew I was going to a restaurant or a friend's house. And recently at a friend's…

Hi, I have been a yo-yo dieter for over 45 years with never ever one single "normal" day. After feeling hopeless (once again) last Summer I went to many, many weight loss surgery seminar, support groups, and had two doctor consultations with 2 dates for the gastric sleeve. After a lot of research on line, I decided this…

I get myself crazy with the scale, on and off, on and off. I know if I stand in different spots, it does seem to change the weight. I really, really need to stop doing this. Because when I first weigh and see a lower weight, I am happy. Then for whatever reason, I get on again and the number can go up, even as much as a…

Fat free or low fat cottage cheese cantaloupe, honeydew, strawberries (love this time of year) Premiere chocolate drinks Would love to start eating sweet potatoes, avocados and quinoa (which has been in my closet for months and not opened) (maybe I will try one of the patty recipes 2 people posted above, thank you for…

Eating carbs, for me, at every meal I do not lose weight (and I mean the carbs in wheat, bread, cake, pretzels etc.) If I limit my carbs, I can eat all day in the right proportions. I never binge or overeat meat or chicken or vegetables. So just watch my carbs and everything else falls into place nicely.

I was wondering if you had x-rays of your knees? It might give you a better understanding of where your pain is coming from. Good luck. p.s. A chiropractor, went to his seminar, said do not eat bananas, pineapple and grapes. As above posters said, you can eat your bananas and apples.

Interesting article, thanks

I just went to a nutritionist today. She said I should be having 80 grams of protein daily. Seems like a lot to me. Soy beansm nuts, quinoa, edamame, beans, lentils, veggie burgers. Premiere protein shakes has 30 grams of protein, comes in different flavors but I only like the chocolate.

You know how to lose weight. When you "feel the need" to eat, try having a portion of what you want. Only buy single portion items. If a large bag of chips, box of cereal or a box of crackers is in my house, it is too easy to partake when I am having a weak moment/craving.

Prunes can help. Some people go every other day. It could be your body is just changing.
