My best guess (theory) is when you break your diet is when you just feel like you can't do it anymore and that is about the same time as your body is working the hardest to dissolve that fat it has been holding onto. Like you feel as though you are starving and really have to fight it hard. So many times people can't stand…

Great inspriation for me as those are almost my numbers. Have lost 40 pounds down to 289 from 329. Great job, thanks for sharing. You look wonderful!

I have a polar ft7, and love it! However I got it at the same price as the ft4 was because it was mis priced. I would of gotten the ft4 had that not been the case. Also I beleive they are pretty much the very same with the exception of the ft7 being able to connect via a wire to the internet to relay info. The connective…

What is really gross is using a hotel towel to dry your face. No telling who dryed or wiped what with that towel and no telling how clean the people that are in charge of doing laundry got that towel. I bring my own towels to the hotels with me or I go shopping and buy a couple of towels when I get where I am going. Same…

Wow amazing what a hugh difference 63 lbs. can make! You look fantastic!!!

Everyone is right in their own head. What ever you beleive is right. :smile: If it works for you, then you are right, but only for you, because just like bung holes everyone has an opinion. We don't even need these message boards, except to keep us entertained. :bigsmile:

I will have to agree with you on that one because if you read the label ranch style beans contain animal fat, and for me that takes them out of the veggie catorgie.

I don't know why we are debating what justifys a vegetable, fruit, tuber, protein, legume; when some people can't even accept the ideal that a calorie is a calorie. If I was not going to count veggies because they have only a few calories ( I am not speaking about the low calorie veggies........ onions, cabbage, lettuce,…

Well that may be but on a menu in a restaurant they are listed under veggies. When little kids wont eat their veggies, many times they are refering to green beans or peas. When I order a sandwich at Jasons and opt for the fruit cup they never bring me a side of beans. By the book they may be a legume, or a fruit, or for…

carrots and lettuce and peppers might not have alot of calories, but starchy veggies sure do. Beans and potatos and corn are loaded with calories. I count them all.

Do you know it takes 3500 calories over and above to create just 1 lb of fat? To gain 4 lbs. in a week you would had to of taken in 14,000 calories more than you burned. Douptful that is the case. Fat doesn't just disolve so easy. Think about a pound of bacon and think about how hard it would be to melt that fat and get it…

I tried to add pedigree chopped chicken to the data base with the scan bar but it said not found. We all need to go add in different dog foods to the data base by keying it in.

Since some dog food contains dogs and cats that have been "put to sleep" by gassing or heart stick with poison and listed under H.A.P. ( hydrolized animal protein) it doens't have to have high calories to be harmful. Of course if you eat chicken, you are already getting it thru what the chickens consume. Many animal…

Tried it once, years ago. Turned my stomach upside down. Does all the orange oily stuff everyone has mentioned. If you are a stay at home person, you might get away with using it. I can't imagine how anyone could work and use it. Especially if you had a cough. So if you don't have a job and if you don't have a relationship…

You might feel great now but as far as looks go you look amazing in all of those pictures.

Dangit......... That was an awsome change....... you look wonderful!

If you weight every day it will go up and down and then down again and eventually it will keep getting alittle lower and eventually it will not get back to the orginal number it was any more. For example lets say you start at 200 then day 1... 202...day 2...202 day 3 200.... day 4...... 201.... day 5..... 204.... day 6…

Jeeze people you are giving away your personal info, these are the kind of things that identity thieves just thrive on. Might as well just throw in your S.S. # while you are at it.

Our butter here in the U.S. does not come in pats. Unless you go to a cafeteria or the hospital then you might see a pat of butter and that is just a single serving.

4 sticks in a pound of butter, so 1/4 th of a pound

West Texas 74 and beautiful and tomorrow is an expected 79............... love it!

I am not ready to e-hang Paula Deen for her style of cooking. Every case of diabetes is not caused by fat, just the way that every case of anything else medical is not caused by fat. There are some skinny people with diabetes and high blood pressure. On the subject with McDonalds being sued over coffee. I too laughed at…

I nevr heard anything about that. If your body is short on B12 because you are anemic or if you are short on b12 because you are a vegetarian, and you get a b12 shot it will give you some energy. If you are not short on it, then it does nothing for you.

Welcome to MFP :-) Great place with freindly people and some of us are in your age range. I too am 55, and I have freinds that are older too. They didn't have this place when I was younger :-( In any case I am happy to of found it now. Hope you find it as helpful as I do.

How cool is that! What a great find, thanks for sharing :-)

Chow mein usually has alot of bean sprouts, and if they are not cooked to death they are good. Over cooked and they are soggy and gross.

Lo mein is soft noodles

Cicken chow mein is chicken stir fried with veggies and served over chow mein noodles.............. chop suey is over rice......... Any chinese stir fry is not going to be outragous on calories. It's the fried foods, the rice and noodles where the big calories come in. Also if it is a sweet sauce like sweet and sour it is…
