Im Texan, and my husband is from Ohio. He is convinced when I tell him I need some more ice in my tea, that I am asking for *kitten*.

Wow cinnamon on cottage cheese. Something I must try. I used to not eat cottage cheese unless it had both salt and black pepper on it. Then I figured out I like it with pineapple. Now I just like it, but cant wait to try it with cinnamon!

Many times losing weight can reverse it. Also exercise helps a great deal. My first husband found out he had diabetes and they gave him a pill for it and sent him to classes to understand more about it. While there they took their sugar levels and his was over 900 ................ they sent him to icu right then. He got…

You had such a cute face when you were chubby, but now that you have lost weight, you look beautiful! Awsome and beautiful! Great job!

It would take 3500 calories in excess of what you normally burn, to gain a pound of fat. I doupt you went 3500 over what you normally do. So don't let something like one bad day mess up all the progress you have been making. Please don't let that be an excuse. You might slide back a quarter or a half of a pound from today,…

Yes ............ you are doing something wrong....... you are rushing it. Fat is made up of fat not water, it did not form over night and will not disolve overnight.............. or in a week for that matter. give it alittle time, to melt, and to be released by your body. Also everything you eat and drink has to cycle out.…

If you are small enough and your weight loss desired is a half a pound a week, your calorie count is not going to be below 1200 anyways. You are still going to be burning way in excess of 1200 calories even if you are brain dead. Don't worry, you will lose, might be slow like you currently are but you will.

You can't really judge a pound of weight over a day. The scale is going to flip flop forwards and backwards in the matter of a few days. A pound of fat doesn't just disolve that easy. Neither does it manufacture that easy. What you are most likey seeing is body waste. What you eat has to process, until it finds its way out…

That was cute! Made me smile. My visual is like crashing thru the floor and not floating with the clouds though................ but given the food HIGH I bet it would be sort of like floating in the clouds.

THERE WILL BE BUTTER................... Reminds me of that Saw movie............. THERE WILL BE BLOOD.....................:laugh:

I like this.......... thanks for sharing.

I have heard that your metabolizm will not start until you consume some sort of calories. There are no strict rules on what breakfast is made up of. Even if you eat a cheese stick, or a peice of beef jerky, it is something and no need to wake up early for it. You could just eat it on the way to the gym while driving.

Ok that was funny!:laugh:

Coffee or Iced tea no sugar

I am thinking it has alot to do with what you eat. Cows eat grass, we don't (although we might be alot happier and less fat if we did,unless we got the munchies). Things we graze on are not the same. Pigs will eat everything like we do, so I bet it is going to be more like Pigs. It's all flesh to a vegetarian, maybe a…

OCD lol I have some of those riticuals, but the thing about OCD is alot of times once the ideal is in your brain, it becomes your routine also. Grrr I sure hope I don't end up doing that whole obsessive control freaky thing.:ohwell:

Fresh are the best and the only as far as I am concerned. Not only for the flavor and texture, but because the FDA allows a certain percentage of maggots in canned mushrooms.

Thats a very big list for staples. Bet that will be several hundred dollars to spend at once.

I really don't want the 23 pounds you lost to come over here to my house, because I have tooo much of my own, but if your French bulldog is going anywhere be sure to give her directions to my house. lol Love those frog dog frenchies!

I hope they are not the kind they make from skinning animals alive in china.

I really didn't want to cook any pasta and freeze it, but since everyone thinks it wont work, I may have to create my own little myth busters and try it myself to see.

I am thinking she is thinking of the convinence of tossing it in the microwave, maybe to take along for lunch or to keep from boiling water for a small portion size of pasta.

I think if you boiled a large pot of pasta (from the dryed kind) and made sure not to let it cook to mush, just al dente. Then cooled it in a ice bath, tossed it in a small amount of cooking oil and seperated it into portion size, and placed in a zip baggie with the air pushed out. I think it might work, to reheat in the…

Yes I am feeling it as well. Just like you, alittle over a week since I started this and I went cold turkey on my pepsi. Dr thinks I was drinking maybe 2 -12 oz. cans a day, little did he know it was a 2 litter plus bottle. I do feel so much better already.I have a mega amount of weight to lose but my clothes already do…

Reminds me of my neice when she was little.......... she would not eat any food that touched any other food. It was ok when it was at home but school posed a whole new problem. She is in her 30s now and I bet she is still like that. And as for the metal spoon thing, it would effect the flavor if it were an aluminun spoon…

Thats saying it like it really is! lol I have thought that so many times. What goes in must come out.

If my mom was still alive to cook then I would worry about over eatting............ no I wouldn't I would love to enjoy some of her mega fatting awsome cooking one more time. She started cooking deserts for Thanksgiving a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving, and putting them in the freezer. I think she pretty much cooked…

Give yourself time and hopefully your jobs and family will lend support and allow you time to heal. Don't expect too much too soon, I beleive it takes a good year to get past that rawness. Sometimes those close to you expect too much to soon, so do what you need to reach out and express your feelings to others who will…
