Putting all my things online for sale. Hours, days, weeks... wow. Fun, fun, fun... Happy 4th, All!

Thank you WG. What you're saying sounds like good common sense, like MMA & BP were saying in some of the above posts. It is hard to go without a potato, a slice of homemade bread or some oatmeal. On another post I mentioned that Dukan did work for me, but I was so lethargic after 3-wks, I was getting no exercise at all &…

SR, have you seen the doc on Strummer... The Future is Unwritten? If you haven't, it's interesting if not a bit poignant, but still worth a watch. Happy 4th. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800099/

Trying to find an interesting podcast to listen to while working online... must be a fussy day... I'm on my 6th & can't get interested. Onto #7.

Working around the house, doing all the odds & ends weirdo stuff that gets placed on the "I'll do it later" list... I guess it's "later".

Hiya, MM. Yes, 22-lbs more to go. 123 is my normal weight & always has been. I'll just continue watching calories & eat what I normally eat, which is fresh, organic homemade, begin more regular exercise & have an end of year goal to return to "normal" weight. That doesn't sound unrealistic... 1-lb/wk. At very least, I'll…

Thank you @bpetrosky. I had to delete all your replies in this response, as I screwed up the formatting. :( No apology necessary. Sometimes things are overlooked or I don't report everything that will make my points clearer. I understand now... since 10-lbs in 3-wks was my entree into weight loss, I just assumed it would…

Choreographer for Pepto Bismol commercials.

Hahaha. I forget... rinsed out the plastic bottle they left behind & recycled it, like the good li'l nutter that I am. :smiley: Yes, blue sports drink... I'm an Aries, so the aforementioned Leo would be awesome to know. You're okay, too, Motorsheen.

Well, I'm a small girl & in weight loss stage (1,200-cal/day) & that sounds about right for me. Since I'm only 1, if you cut your food bill in 1/2, $450/mo for fresh, some organic is normal for my food bill. I also add in household products, ale & coffee, etc. (which can't be more than 15-20% max), but you 2 are eating far…

Working online a bit after a day that rivals a Keystone Cop movie... complete with 4" of sewage backing up in my tub at 7pm, Comcast having to visit for the 4th time to keep me online, a broken toilet, the maintenance worker who screamed at me for calling him at 7pm for the aforementioned sludge-fest because he can't do…

A doc with comedians discussing the holocaust & comedy. Despite the cast, it's not great... the director/editors could have been better.

Hahaha. But, who could eat at a time like this?

Extreme Closet Organizer... the hoops ya need to go through to prove clothing fits... wow.

Thank you for that. Very helpful.

Began weight loss at 155-lbs. I'm a 5'7" woman, small frame. Lost 10-lbs in 3-wks on Dukan, so am now 145. MFP says my calorie intake should be 1,200/day. My assumption I could lose another 10-lbs in 3-wks is as I lost the 1st 10-lbs in 3-wks. As I've said, I've never gained weight before (I'm 48) & have been 123-lbs since…

Has a YTube instructional channel on how to be a normal guy... beginning with putting on pants 1 leg at at time.

Oh, I see. Okay, BP, thank you so much for taking the time to explain all this to a newbie. Well, this will be much easier to just eat within calorie range, because I'm finding Dukan to be very effective, but the lack of veggies I like & fruit, is a bit hard to bear... not fond of giant plates of meat & meat alone & I am…

Round card guy.

Hi, PB... Yes, measuring precise intake & accurate MFP DB entries. As stated, "... if I add in potatoes or pasta (starches) & am still within my daily caloric intake, I just remain at the same weight until I cut out the carb & give it 3-4 days. Carbs/starches/sugars, whatever... stunts my weight loss regardless of calories…

Hopefully, someone can respond to the carbs vs weight loss q & its effects, if any, based on personal experience. Thanks everyone.

Again, my main concern is carbs vs weight loss. Do low glycemic carbs hinder weight loss? Or, is it a case by case scenario? I've never had to lose weight before... I'm doing Dukan as I researched the diet, it sounded reasonable & I've lost 10-lbs in 3-wks. The last 3-wks, I've eaten within my daily caloric intake of…
