prunes and figs

I personnally feel better and more satisfied using WW points vs calorie counting. I don't know why, maybe it's all in my head. Or maybe it's the fact that veggies & fruit are "free" so I fill up on those things more. I've actually been doing both, focusing on meeting my points but then tracking here to see how many…

I assumed that's what they were doing with the "free" fruit and veggies, makes sense. I just started doing WW along w/ MFP. I feel a lil more accountability and consistency with going to the meetings. I feel better already, after just one week of doing both.

wow, bumping for inspiration!

Whoah sorry for sloooowww response! The most challenging for me was grocery shopping and family and friends not understanding that I wasn't on a diet to get thin - I was trying to stop being sick all the time! I had horrible nausea 24/7 and it was a friend that told me about detoxing and elimination diet. I found that I am…

i like this explanation

I did an elimination diet after "The Seven Day Detox Miracle". I did lose 10 pounds and I felt great, but once I found out what was irritating my system, I figured out how to still have it sometimes and not get as sick. I probably should leave those things alone altogether... What was fustrating to me when I did it was how…

Everything everyone else said: washing hands, LOTS of water, good night's rest, exercise. In addition I swallow a couple of raw garlic cloves, crushed, with water like I'm taking a pill. Also homemade lemon, honey & red onion tea. Garlic is said to possess antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties, and red onion…

High 5! I :heart: lumpia

people that ask questions that they already know the answer to during meetings or seminars just so they can show off what they already know... if they know so much, why aren't they the ones conducting the meeting or seminar??

me too and still wasting away as we 'speak' :drinker:

yes, and cabinets and drawers left open - WHY?!

yes, and even worse are stupid people that think they are smart and that YOU are stupid

-Oh you just reminded me! When someone tries to squeeze past you in a crowded shopping aisle or whatever instead of just saying "excuse me" -not saying "thank you" when you hold the door open for someone -not holding the door for someone when you know they are coming in right behind you

Or you call someone and instead of calling back they text you? I had too much to text in the first place, that's why I CALLED instead of texting - HELLLLOOO!!!! :explode:

Fresh fruit is always good, but if you want to feel like it's more of a dessert, you could bake apples with cinnamon. Or, if you can have rice, you could make like a rice pudding without egg and sugar, just add fruit and soy or rice milk.

is it the 7 day detox miracle?

I love your honesty and willingness to learn and take advice from others... and your mild responses to some of these posts that would set some people off! :flowerforyou:

This is really good and healthy with ground turkey: http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/moms_ground_turkey_and_peppers/ it says to use dark meat ground turkey but lean is good too. There are very few ingredients but it is yummy. Another good one with few ingredients is:…

with low fat cheese... mmm mmm

Thanks for posting this as inspiration, and also for taking the time to respond to people's questions on the thread! :flowerforyou: more flowers for you!

All these responses are good, except the advice to skip breakfast. I usually end up hungrier later if I don't eat any breakfast. A nutritionist told me that even a non fat latte for breakfast is better than nothing at all. What really helps me is to drink a glass of water and talk a walk after eating. Then the food starts…

Thanks everyone for responding. I'm going to really give the 30 day shred a go, with good shoes, sports bra and positive attitude!!!

I want to build up some endurance and flexibility, I've been doing Walk Away the Pounds w/ Leslie Sansone until then - every day, with weights! I'm so proud of me self :bigsmile:

Thanks for the tips, my knees actually feel better when I keep moving rather than 'resting' like the doc said. My bro also said I need the right shoes and socks, even if running on the treadmill?

You look great, and very happy - keep it up!

LUV this thread, especially this post.

everyone looks good, i look forward to sharing my success when it's time

Yay!! The more the merrier!

For any interested, there is already a group started for 30DS 2012. We are planning on starting January 1, 2012. That gives everyone plenty of time to order the dvd if necessary (my Walmart was out of stock!) and get your mind and body somewhat ready for it! That's my plan anyway :wink: It's this one: "30 day shred for…
