I really like their chopped salads. The southwest eggrolls are good too.

I'm in. Feel free to add me.

Wow, that really gives some perspective.

I've been doing lower calories and have not experienced weight loss success. I now plan to pay attention to (and lower) my carbs. I believe and hope this will be a key to losing weight for me (especially since I have impaired glucose tolerance).

Unfortunately, I don't have clear advice for you on what the problem can be. But, I do want you to know that you are not alone. I have had a similar experience and frankly, have not found the best combination to lose weight. But here is the good / hopeful news: I truly believe there is an effective combination of nutrition…

Wow! What an awesome, inspiring story. You look great.

Wow! How awesome and inspiring. Great job!:smile:

During flare ups, cold packs helped and refraining from strenuous activity (although engaging in light activity like walking continued and for me that helped). Also, I haven't had a sciatica flare up for the last 3 years. I believe that is because I've maintained some consistency in working out (particulalry with core…

Great job!!

Awesome!!! You look great. Congratulations!

I used to have horrible, intense pain in my feet when working out (any kind of work outs, including strength training and cardio). The pain has subsided greatly as my fitness level has increased. I also got custom-made orthotics and a couple pairs of really good gym shoes (from a specialty running shoe store). Also, when…

I've heard a number of negative comments. But one of the most memorable was when I traveled overseas in 2005. I believe this was my first time on another continent and I was sooooo excited. I visited South Africa. I was at a restaurant where I had met a couple of people. We were leaving the restaurant wrapping up our…

Loose skin is something I'm afraid of, but I have so much weight to lose that I know the risk of having it may be high. I've heard a number of things. Here are some: Build muscle Stay hydrated Collagen I read an article about a woman who lost a large amount of weight and she was adamant that eating tofu every day was the…

Great job! Congratulations! How inspiring...

I'm not a big breakfast person either. I usually do a meal replacement shake.

Awesome! Congratulations!

My understanding is that everyone is different. For example, my chest doesn't go down, but my legs are the first to go. I would love for my chest to shrink significantly. But it runs in my family, so I don't expect mine to go down as much as I would like.

Starchy foods (i.e., potatoes). I love potatoes (any kind, prepared any way). Although, I have not eliminated carbs from my diet, I have not had a potato in about a month and a half. I believe cutting them out of my diet has been instrumental in my recent weight loss (along with working out, etc). I will eventually add…

I have been natural for almost 20 years (with the exception of 2 very short stints with a relaxer - that lasted less than 2 months each). Anyway, the natural works very well for me when it comes to workouts. But I heard that wrapping the hair very tightly with a silk scarf helps.

I didn't see her on the Today Show, but I did read an article about her diabetes diagnosis. I think Paula Deen is trying to protect her brand. I've never been a Paula Deen fan, but I respect her right to choose her own approach in handling this issue. I believe it would've been more socially responsible to reveal the…
