I am still here and my account is active.!!! Birthday was Friday and anniversary was yesterday. :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Thanks!!! I do not let people's opinions bother me in real life, so I am not going to let a group of cyber people bother me either. It is just I get a little over zealous when giving advice to people because I know what works for me and a lot of other people. My doctor always tells me to spread the word like it is gospel…

Good morning everyone!!! It is my birthday and I got a GREAT brithday gift............. I got a wooshie and I weighed in this morning at 200.2 pounds. So I have lost 8.8 pounds from Monday til today!!!! I could do black flips again................. :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Increase your fat intake.......... Coconut oil is healthy. Add butter to steamed veggies.

bump my own thread.

Yucky.............. I have never liked peas. They are mushy and wrinkled.

My Dr told me this regarding fat intake................. Think of your metabolism like your car...............It takes fuel (fat) to make your car run (metabolism)....... There is a book called Eat Fat, Get Thin. It is a fantastic read.

For anyone looking for a cracker type snack, these are AWESOME!!!! I purchased these at my Neighborhood Coop. I got the Smokehouse flavor and with a bit of raw cheese it made for a very yummy snack.

I know Atkins works, especially for those that have blood sugar issues, high blood pressure, thyroid issues, etc........... It takes away depression, feeling hungry, cravings for sugar, etc............ I have never eaten more natural than I do now. For the most part I don't even eat artificial sweetners............ I…

:heart: :heart: At least someone on this website believes in me!!! I think I am the bad seed on this site because of my out spokeness and my radical views............ AT least it didn't take you 6 years to get your butt in gear with a lifestyle change as it did for me. I was on the verge of becoming insulin dependent.…

Come over and post more often on the Carb Conscious thread again!!! Calie and I will get you motivated.

It probably will help it........... Put the coconut oil on your hair and let it sit for like 20 minutes and massage your scalp occasionally too.............then wash it as usual, but don't use the regular conditioner and see how it feels...... I color my hair too. I am naturally blond and usually go darker because I think…

Here is a website called Yoga tv.net. It is free and it is yoga!!! This is what I do at home when I can't get Fit TV. http://yoga-tv.net/

I think you are stunning!!!

According to the Atkins book, you should eat every 3-4 hours to keep blood sugar stable. I am not giving advice as others on this board seem to think I am not credible. Check out my signature as that is my blood work at the start and again in April. I get more blood drawn tomorrow and will post it in that thread also. I…

I am glad someone likes me. I am hated on this website due to my alternative views and opinions of things.......... I don't know how much longer I am going to be a member of this site, I am thinking of deleting my membership and start a yahoo group of like minded people........... Anyway, with the coconut oil, i scoop out…

I am not posting in any other forums except this one, and the 2 low carbing forums I post in. I am so tired of getting bashed for how I eat and live my lifestyle, tired of being told my advise is not credible, etc................ I am on the verge of leaving this site for good.

Yes, you are correct on the Splenda stuff..................it is basically taking sugar and adding bleach that changes the molecular content of regular sugar. Then add maltodextrin to it to fluff it up and make it look like styrofoam snow.............Blech, I do not like it at all, but my hubby is resistant to change. For…

I have never liked Dairy very much ever.................... I notice now that I am low carbing that I do like a little dairy. I can tolerate a bit of butter when I am cooking I love yogurt now, only eat full fat versions (Mountain High and Fage Total) I can tolerate Parmesan, Hoffmans Ultra Sharp Cheddar and smoky cheddar,…

I use full fat cream cheese along with it and the coconut oil makes them divine. You can also make them using 2 sticks of softened, unsalted butter, but I like the coconut oil better. Nutritional Info: Yield: 48 brownies Per brownie. Effective carbohydrates: 1.8g; Carbohydrates: 2.4 g; Fiber: 0.6 g; Protein: 2.1 g; Fat:…

I know people that are on ketogenic diets that are training for triathalons and marathons........... They are training hard and they are always full of energy and recover with no issues. One of the persons I know does a Zero Carb WOL................... She only eats steak and hamburger and drinks water. Nothing else. Here…

MRD232 - I am eating the same way, right along with you.................. My primary fuel is fat, moderate protein and very low carb. I keep my carbs around 45 grams per day. So far today, I have had 2 ribeye steaks, one for breakfast and one for lunch, along with a small caesar salad. I will probably have the same for…

Brownie recipe................I use regular cream cheese, not the low fat or non-fat stuff......... I am posting it twice. One recipe made with coconut oil. The second one is the same, except use butter instead of coconut oil...............

Is there a reason you are not eating real butter, full fat cottage cheese and regular sausage? I am just asking...............the fats are not bad for you and you will stay full and satisfied on less. Just a thought.

That is fantastic!!! I am hating clothese right now............. I recently went from a size ex-large down to a large............. Today I am wearing a wide strapped tank top in a size large and it fits great from the waist to the bottom of the shirt............The problem is, it is already too big up at the top from the…

Wow!!! You are lucky to be able to have a green house to grow your own fruits and veggies............ We will be purchasing a house later this year (we are looking now) and that is one of the requirements. That I have land to produce a garden and I can cover it so I have a green house. I think I would start living out…

Very lovely message.............. Unfortunately, some of us are our own worse critics and some of us were tore down by our own mothers and our self-esteem is crushed and crumbled............ No matter what I weigh, I always see the "same me" I was when I was at my heaviest of 265 pounds six years ago............. When I…

Coconut oil is the healthiest fat on the earth. I use it for many, many, many uses............. I use primarily 2 brands, Jungle and Nutiva. Here is some information about Nutiva brand in particular, but Jungle brand is just as good with the same qualities........ I use coconut oil for a facial cleanser ( I can tell you…

I am going to post this in my blog also, but I just need to ramble on amongst friends................ Today would have been my mom's 54 birthday and tomorrow is my birthday. This makes my birthday really depressing. I don't feel well, think I am getting a cold, I feel down and mopey because of today and my husband is being…

Thanks. The main reason it is getting easier and easier for me to cut the carbs and watch what I eat is I am off all medications and intend to stay that way...............Also, I am listening to my body and it is telling me that the grain carbs in bread, cereal, etc are not good for my body, so I easily stay…
