Addendum: Cals are set by my doc.

I lost a lot fast and still am but I was 449 pounds to begin with. Even with my super slow metabolism, when a person is that big, the body sheds pounds fast. I am only recently able to begin exercise due to my weight loss. I ate about 800 to 1000 calories a day and was monitored by medical staff as this is extremely low. I…

I can't believe I'm going to admit this......I had a crush on Buck Owens when I was 5 years old. I hope you guys still want to be friends. :frown: :embarassed:

I agree that the McRib is not a healthy choice for a meal but many of us make a choice because we like the taste to have one on occasion. I do not have references to copy and paste but I do believe it is a fact that browning potatoes at high heat will create acrylamide in small doses. After reading the thread I recall…

I heard them both from a gutter state of mind. Again, thought it was just me. :devil:

Same as above. I should probably be going out to exercise more.

They're adorable! We used to wear them in the 80's. They are a real challenge in the ladies room though. :embarassed:

Ahhh, I miss McDonald's. Too many calories for me right now but I plan to have a big quarter pounder with cheese someday again. It will most likely make me ill by then but at least I have my memories. :heart:

I agree with another poster. I had 3 different stress fractures in feet and ankles and never knew. They were painful but I ignored them and years later, an x-ray showed that I had several poorly healed fractures that are now arthritic. Better safe than sorry.

Thanks for this! I have been eyeing it up as you used to. I am probably going over calories daily without knowing it.

Could you be retaining water? I had them. They looked like weird little cabbage patch legs and feet. My doc put me on a diuretic and they were gone in 48 hours. I still don't have cute little birdie ankles but the cankles are gone.

It is also dependent on your health situation and exercise. Some people eat amazing amounts and lose while others eat like birds and the scales barely move. I checked with a medical health professional.

When it starts looking ridiculous to take them in, I get new. I am right now getting rid of my 5X's and getting 3X's. I'm sure that sounds silly to those who don't have much to lose but for me, I'm thrilled! I sort of like perusing second hand shops so it's not so spendy there. Maybe get a few, new pieces that are classics…

There is a product called "Tofu Scrambler" that makes tofu a lot like scrambled eggs.

I know this is a guys question but my husband just uses the same over the counter cream that I would use for a yeast infection and it clears right up. Sans applicator of course. :smile:

Funny! They allow Peterson. :tongue:

I saw some at Starbucks.

When I blow it, I make myself log it into my public diary for every one to see. It has actually made me stop before I embarrassed myself by overeating. I have a tendency to eat something forbidden and then think, "might as well make a day of it." With logging, I have a deterrent.

As an obese person with a bachelors degree in education who is currently disabled and on food stamps, I am somewhat offended. I don't think you should be paying so much attention to what they have in their cart or how they are paying. I'm not trying to start an argument really, I am not. Your generalizations are irritating…

I have friends who drink them all day long. I don't know how they keep from having panic attacks from all that stimulant. If you read the blogs regarding them and the chemical breakdown from both sides(pro-product vs. anti-product), they don't seem that bad if you're only drinking 1 a day. Some people are terrified to…

Hi Hugo and welcome! I like that "let's see less of ourselves." Good luck to you and hope we start seeing less of each other real soon. :wink:

I will most likely track for the rest of my life, even if it is in a little pocket notebook or something like that. I think I would start playing games with myself if I didn't and telling myself that I really hadn't eaten that much.

OP-hope you get this as I am old and don't know how to do the blue quote thing. :tongue: I get it, it is odd to see one now days. I think I might be hungry and grumpy. No offense I hope. :flowerforyou:

Do you laugh at people who are carrying last years bag too? Oh, oh, what about people who are driving a car more than 10 years old? Those people are hilarious!:huh:

I'm not sure I get it. Is is because it's older and not an ipod?

I was a little confused at first. ie. Eat or don't eat exercise cals, how do I change my ticker, etc. It gets old hat after a while. Nice to have you here.

I lost 30 lbs. in 3 days when I got on a diuretic but that doesn't really count. The most weight I ever lost in a week was 10 lbs.

I would call them back today and ask if they have found her.

I have a mildly hypothyroid issue. I take a prescription med. called Levothyroxin and it helps me with burning calories. I have to keep my calories really low to lose though.

Hi there, I just polled my husband and son who have always worn the same size since adulthood and are both thin. The said to but them a little loose to allow for shrinkage. Otherwise, just wear whatever feels comfortable and will stay up with or without a belt.
