  • Gratz, great job lady and you look awesome!
  • I have been at it for nearly a year and being gluten and dairy free I'm with on NO MORE. I put up with enough and denying myself the occassional restaurant trip or treat is so not in my world. I want to be able to happily eat the way I do for the next several decades and I make room in every day for a treat, chocolate, or…
  • I have a Kindle account with all my adult children linked to it. I love the flexibility since I have kindle on my phone and on my tablet as well as my kindle. Since you can check a book out to up to 5 devices at a time it's great if we are all reading the same book, we can still all read it at the same time. I started with…
  • Is it latte's or coffee? I gave up all drinks of that nature and now confine myself to a couple of cups of good coffee with coconut milk creamer and it's part of my calorie plan every day.
  • ground turkey breast only, or ground beef, the higher fat ground turkey is ok in chili or spaghetti but that's about it, but i feel the same about 85/15 ground beef. I eat a lot of the extra lean ground turkey, but buy it up on sale so I can afford it, lol.
  • Hit level 50 on my human necro, guild has most of the addtions up so far, takes time to get all the guild perks, and I'm on Emhry Bay, Mara Wolfnight. PS. Guild is Phantoms of the Mist mostly made up so far of members of our alliance guilds from GW1 but we welcome all.
  • Amazing story of true humanity.
  • All the other sniping aside, there is of course a base instinct to always be only interested in our own outcome, however, "humanity" has also provided the training to overcome that childlike, ego-centered reaction. Yes there are some terrible studies on small children that show we are at heart, with no morale training self…
  • My hubby doesn't have an issue with the logging, it's the keeping up with my pals that irritates him, but he's good about it so we manage to compromise.
  • I love condiments and Annie's makes a few that are low sodium, if you spend some time in the condiment aisle there are tasty low sodium ones out there. I am on a doctor limit of 1500 a day and rarely go over. However, I do eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, am gluten free so no real pasta and bread, I do have it but in…
  • Just keep on trucking, you are doing it right and I know it's irritating (my hubby dropped 10 lbs in a month by just giving up one snack a day). Some guys are good at the junk food diet for awhile but when they hit their first plateau they tend to just go back to their old ways going "well dieting is a waste of time".…
  • I eat a healthy breakfast every day, now in the old days of cereal and/or toast yeah, starving by 10 and eating wrong all day. Lots of yummy veggies and protein at breakfast and I'm stoked and ready to kck some butt. Course I do have an intense busy job that keeps me running.
  • Lol, the fat will come off wherever it wants. I'm down 55 lbs and still the waistline has not yielded as much as i would like. Keep on trucking the results will come, I did lose 13 inches off the middle before it stopped so I can't really complain.
  • Thanks a bunch had been trying to figure out how to make some veggie burgers without tons of sodium.
  • I think the occassional evening out no holds barred is important, you however may be surprised how bad you feel the next day, lol. That seems to be the response, but by all means, hit Wings and make some reasonable choices, eat moderately and move on.
  • Mira Grant's Newsflesh Trilogy - Zombie apocalyse storyline.
  • It goes back to what works, I have a lot of fiber, keep my potassium high with my diet and drink about 120+ oz a day, if you are consuming a mostly processed diet then perhaps yes your potassium could be too low. But that would be a whole lot of water, lol. So many folks go on about water intoxication but your kidney's can…
  • Talk to your doctor for sure and make sure it is just sodium you need, blood pressure is pretty complicated and sodium requires correspondingly more potassium. So definitely if you are going to be going over 2500mgs a day then find out if you need addtional help with potassium, calcium and magnesium. That's why the drinks…
  • It's pretty easy to use it in any recipe you would use rice in, you can put it in casseroles if the little seed rings prove freaky, I make a Quinoa veggie salad that is just making pasta salad and substituting quinoa for the noodles. Mixed with rice it is less noticeably different so with my family I find it easier to…
  • 1. I agree with the above, look into getting the acne issues taken care of by seeing a competent dermatologist. 2. Stay on the dental issues, if the dentist scares you find one that will give you Nitrous oxide for work or can give you a referral to a hynotist. 3. If counseling isn't covered by your insurance, check to see…
  • 1500 is considered more than adequate, under 500 is getting to low, so if you fall in that range you are fine
  • Way cool lyrics sir!
  • Whew!!! I was hoping this was a joke, lol.
  • Water, stool softener, and omg, get some fiber in your diet. More fiber will get it all moving.
  • http://detoxinista.com/2012/01/the-secret-to-perfect-cauliflower-pizza-crust/ According to this site, this recipe does give you a finger lickin good cauliflower crust you can pick up.
  • Pretty much coconut milik products here, dairy and I don't get along and most of the others I really don't care for the aftertaste.
  • I think you should convince him to come back, get a few of your friends to friend him and he's off and running, tell him to just stay away from Chit Chat, I do, lol. That area is the FB of MFP, lol, drama and all.
  • Frittata - egg beaters, yellow pepper, onions, zucchini, chicken breast, topped with homemade pico de gallo. 420 calories.
  • I'm on 40C / 30C/30P and it is pretty manageable and is around the recommended protein per lb of lean body mass. It's worked for me so far. I am on a doctor enforced 1500 mg sodium, feel free to look at my diary for ideas on low sodium. You'll find it's mostly fresh or quick to prepare as I love cooking but don't really…
  • Not at all, you are striving to get fit and healthy, this is a fitness website after all and the same healthy options that work for weight loss work for weight gain, just in different portion sizes.
