I have trouble with IBS! Mine gets sets off, if I eat something that is too greasy or a little over spicy and I love spice. Not eating greasy Foods anymore so that shouldn't be a problem.

I love this thread!

Thanks everyone! for all the great recipe websites I appreciate it.

I agree with the others! motivation does come from within, but it's nice to get some encouragement. I sent you an invitation!

I sent you an invite too!

Thanks! Appreciated.

That's a good idea! never thought of cooking for four people and then divided into different meals. I'm going to figure out this meal prepping, I've never done it so we'll see how it goes. I need to go to the store and see if they carry those meal prepping containers. Thank you! You've been a great help. I'll check into…

jgnatca Thank you, I'll look into meal propping and I appreciate all your suggestions and ideas.

The recipe looks and sounds good. I don't do dairy much so I couldn't use the cottage cheese or regular mayo, I use Hamilton's just mayo it's non dairy and I have used mustard before. I'll have to give it a try. Thank you for posting and sharing.

Toxikon! Sorry I meant to say, the slow cooker that would be easier for me I appreciate the suggestion.

Toxikon! I'll check both sites out. Thank You. Thank you everybody! I appreciate all the suggestions and advice and answering my questions.

I just turned 55 Monday. You can Count Me In! I need all the friends and motivation I can get. I've only been at this a week and it gets frustrating and confusing at times.

Wegman? I have never heard of them before are they in the United States? Yes, I have been to a diabetic specialist many times they are the ones that say Lower your carbs, for me not eating a lot dairy or carbs helps me maintain a lower blood sugar count enough so that I don't need the medicine. . I don't mind the cooking…

Thank you! everyone for your suggestions. To be honest it's getting a little frustrating and confusing at times trying to figure this all out.

I do but when I get close to my calorie limit the carbs will be too high. Need to stay at 20% or under for carb intake because I'm diabetic and I can't seem to even both at the same time do you have any suggestions on that I appreciate it. Also, I'm looking for help planning meals recipes for cooking at home I'm single but…

Starting weight: 276.6

I'm in! I need count ability and support. I am 6' and weigh 276 lbs I have 96 more pounds to go show almost a 100. First Day Challenge HW: 400 SW: 284.2 CW: 276 UGW: 180

Soy is the worst, but gluten also effects your thyroid. I have problems with my thyroid too so I have to be careful with what I eat. Only have half of my thyroid left.

You are right soda and all that sugar it's not good for you it's not nutritious it is empty calories. I'm diabetic and I've been having one or two sodas a month sometimes every other month but I'm going to make a commitment today you hear me cuz I really love soda lol this day forward I'm going to do my best to never touch…

Actually I didn't stop drinking soda because of the weight lose issue it's because I'm diabetic too much sugar. So I for a Treat once or twice a month doesn't hurt the sugar level as much if it's one soda then drinking it all the time for me.

Okay I admit it I love soda lol Mostly I give it up I allow myself a treat of it once in awhile maybe once or twice a month allow myself to have some but real soda not the diet sorry I cannot stand the taste of diet soda I've tried several brands to me they all taste nasty and not like real soda. I don't mean any offense…

Thank you

Thank you! I appreciate your help. Have a good night.

That's one of the reasons why I'm on here is to figure it all out with my diet and do the best I can to get this weight off I'll figure out what's best for me and in this program and in this community I surely appreciate all the advice and information I'm getting on this site it's wonderful thank you.

I'm not very much of a breakfast food person the only breakfast food I eat basically is eggs but I prefer to wait until 10 a.m. to noon before I eat anyting and I eat between that time and 8 p.m. I don't like to eat after 8 p.m. since I've been on this program I have not gone over my required calorie amount of daily intake…

Cheese! I used to be really addicted to it ate it like people eat sweets don't hate it but I don't crave it anymore. I try not to drink sodas but I still like it and have not lost my desire for it completely even though I try not to drink it at all.

Thank you

Your right when I first started having trouble with my thyroid had my right side taken out I started researching about it and along with my doctor who agreed they tell you to stay away from all soy products I try to do the best I can but on the list it says to stop eating gluten and to watch the carbs it's got a big list…

I most definitely in! 6'0 and I'm at 275.6 lbs right now need to lose another 96 pounds.
