Thanks all. Yes, Carbs= Sugar + Fiber + Starch. And subtracting the sugar and fiber from the Carb equals the remaining the starch. My understanding (what I've learned at Kaiser's Healthy Balance class) is that starch increases your body temperature and if not utilized for that purpose, it is then stored as fat. I was…

Love the muscle cars! Used to have a '66 Mustang, '67 Vette, '91 Convertible Firebird. Sigh ...

Started March 2017, lost 55 pounds. It was/is great. I'm eating regular food now and everything is going well. Now, I'm looking for where I can buy the actual product online.

Such an accomplishment! Both of you look terrific!

That's like me. Started at 210.7, want to get to 140-145 and then decide to stay there or lose more.

I'm in. Have lost 25, another 50 to go.

5'3" SW 210.7 CW 186.6 GW 145 On a medically-supervised plan and so far, so good. :)

Thank you! Much appreciated as I really would like to see how long it will take me to get to where I am trying to go.

About 800-850 calories per day. So far, so good.

Hello all, I've been dealing with weight issues all my life for a whole lot of reasons but now, I'm in a completely different life and completely different head space. I started on a medically-supervised weight loss plan and have been on it since March 23rd. So far, so good. "How did you do with your goals or resolutions…

I started yesterday. My understanding is no strenuous exercise for 2 weeks. If you've exercised in the past, you can continue the type but cut the intensity by 50%. I'm excited to do this program and would definitely appreciate any "company".

Hi, I would love to be and have a buddy. I started keto this past Monday and so far so good. Not sure how to be added as a buddy but please do so if you'd like.

I am not a regular participant in message boards and your post points up the very reasons why. My facts: I've been on a roughly 1200 calorie plan since last April (with a few ups and downs) and have lost 61 pounds. For me, that was perfect and it worked. I didn't care what anyone else said. Those people were not me. I was…

i don't know if this will work but here goes: before at 206: http://dakd0cjsv8wfa.cloudfront.net/images/photos/125/288/125288_6191_thumb.jpg after at 150: http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/374476_10151187979033110_1947157518_n.jpg My goal was 150 but I may try to lose more, maybe to get to 140 or 135. It took me…

I did it in NorCal (Patterson) and had a blast! Almost died, ended up with bruises all over, but felt fantastic when I finished! One of THE best feelings ever!

The Quest bars were on sale last month on-line plus you could get 20% discount during the first week if you have the gold card. Also, iherb.com was selling them as well fairly cheaply.

Quest bars are my salvation... love them. Lemon, Coconut-Cashew, Strawberry Cheesecake, Cinnamon Roll. I am a big chocoholic (especially choc and PB) but I'm not really into the chocolate peanut butter or chocolate brownie. Has a weird aftertaste to me but I know some people really like them.

thank you!!

I've been doing that since March and have lost 43 pounds so far. As a female, 1200 calories is fine if you're trying to lose weight. I eat enough protein, fat and carbs and I take a multi-vitamin, calcium and fish oil. I'm really happy with my progress.

Hmmm... then I have a question. I've been doing JumpstartMD since end of march, lost over 30 pounds, but my movements have been only every few days or so and have been "rabbit like." Been drinking more than 8 glasses of water every day and have been eating at least 25 grams (usually more) of fiber every day. This past…

I have 6? 7? a bunch.. all very important to me and represent my children and family. 1st one was after I took the CA Bar exam (25 years ago!) Last one was a few months ago... and I'm planning on getting more. Don't care what people think; I have nothing to prove; and I make a damn good living doing what I do... and the…
