I agree that you should go see a doctor if you've been sick for that long. Healthy eating should help you, not make you sick. Keep eating healthy and if you think you need to, go see a doctor. Let us know how everything goes!

Ricky I give you tons of credit for doing this. Good for you! After all, it is FOR YOU! You've done so well already. Keep it up. I can relate to your background somewhat as I have lost my mom, sister (only sibling) and lastly my dad. All my aunts and uncles are either dead or the few that are left have alzheimers-type…

I am trying to increase my daily potassium to 4700 mg. It is difficult for sure. As someone pointed out, most yogurts listed in the MFP database don't list the potassium amount even though they all have it. 8 oz of 0% or nonfat yogurt is around 510 mg of potassium AND 400 mg of calcium. So even though I am eating Astro…

Feel free to add me. Needing to lose 50-60 lbs. Constantly struggle with willpower and motivation.

Hi Sounds like we have a bit in common. I'm 56 have a boy and girl in early to mid 20's. I've had high blood pressure for over 10 years and am now being investigated for possible heart problem. I could use another MFP friend for encouragement and support. I keep my diary open to friends as I like to see what others eat for…

We bought one similar a year or so ago long before I was paleo. Son has been for about 2 years. He wasn't using the spiraler so my hubby got rid of it. Figures. Anyway, I was hoping to get a much smaller item than the one you listed.

About 7 years ago I tried going to a Naturopath and had food allergy testing done. I did test positive to casein. I guess I have not taken the Naturopath's advice to stay away from products with casein in which I believe is milk, cheese, yogourt, etc. I love my morning coffee (and sometimes one in the afternoon) and don't…

Really want to get a relatively inexpensive veggie spiraler. I tried the Veggetti that I bought for $20 at Walmart. Not very good and returned it the next day. What do you think about this one? Seems to have had some good reviews....…

That's awesome! Sounds like you managed to stay in control the entire vacation and got lots of exercise to boot! I am not sure how I will fare when we go on our 2 week cruise in January.

OMG those look yummy! Have you made them yet? Although I like coconut milk and don't mind coconut flour, I dislike shredded coconut and personally would leave that out. I notice it's optional. I might try this recipe too, although if my son sees them they'll be gone in a day!

I am in a similar situation to the OP. I have been doing Paleo and also been 90% dairy free except for milk in my coffee x1/day as there is no substitute worthy. I have been doing this for 2 weeks now and there has been no noticeable weight loss. I find it pretty difficult to stay at 1200 calories a day doing paleo as…

I have started clean eating and am also looking for snack ideas. I was intrigued by the 4 ingredient 50 calorie cookies that KatherinesRiv posted about. I tried to PM her but she has deactivated her account. Anyone else have the recipe? I'd really like to have it if possible!
-
Vickie: Sounds like it is working for you. 21 days, congrats. Oh, and I don't like the brown rice wraps either. I would rather do without. I pulled out my allergy test results from 5 1/2 years ago. Seems like longer. I really only tested positive for dairy and eggs. After getting up yesterday and being up a pound, I got an…

Hi all I too am glad I found this group! Maybe now we can discuss the Virgin Diet without all the silly remarks!!! I started out using coconut milk, but not really a fan. I have switched to Almond Milk. It's still not milk, but it is certainly very palatable and I will continue using that. One thing however, has anyone…

I am starting the Virgin Diet which for the first 21 days cuts completely all gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, sugar & substitutes, corn and peanuts. I have previously tested positive for food sensitivities for gluten, dairy, eggs and soy. The book was very informative and after reading it I believe it's worth a try.
-
I am on day 1 of this JJ Virgin Diet. I was tested years ago for food sensitivities and gluten, dairy, eggs and soy all showed up as food sensitivities for me. So based on that, I am trying this in the hopes that it will work. It makes sense. I usually eat a lot of regular wheat pasta and the more I eat, the more I want.…

Guess I will have to give it a try too! Thanks.

Looks like another shift worker! I work 12 hour rotating shifts in EMS. Was a 911 police dispatcher before that. So I know how tough it is to follow a routine! I am on nights right now. If you want encouragement, and lose together, friend me!
-
Hey, we all need encouragement! Friend me.
-
Hi! We have similar goals. I am 5'3" weigh 176 and want to get down to 125. So if you want to lose together, friend me!
-
Very Admirable if you'll pardon the pun! All joking aside, excellent idea!
-
Message sent!

I work 12 hour rotating shifts, 6 week cycle. It sucks, but it's great for getting things done while the M-F 9-5ers are at work! However, it's really hard to get in a routine for anything, especially working out. The food is workable, albeit difficult when you have to pack up your entire day's (or night's) food at one time…

Yes, I'd like to be fit at 50, but seeing I'm 53 now I don't think it's going to happen! lol However, I also have a September b'day and would like to be fit at 54 and have taken the first steps! Friend me if you wanna encourage each other!
-
We're all in it together. I have some of those health risks you are being tested for. Definitely a wake up call. Friend me and we'll encourage each other!
-
I hear ya girl! Let's do this weight loss thing together!! Friend me!
-
Ya I hear you. Nights really take it outta you. I didn't think it was good to exercise before going to bed?
-
Definitely struggling! 53 years old, 5'3", 176 lbs. Seems when I turned 50 my body started to fall apart! Thyroid problems, lower lumbar back pain (minor at least) , blood pressure got worse and I have to lower my sodium intake. My job being shift work makes it difficult to stay on a routine of any kind. I really could use…

I am 5'3" and weigh 176 lbs. I want to get down to at least 130- maybe less. I'll see if I ever get down there! I was 105 in high school but that's ancient history. I am 53 and find it difficult losing weight nowadays. I also need help getting and staying motivated and would like to have some online friends so that we…

That's for sure. When I am working I am out of the house 14 hours which doesn't leave time for anything but sleep and get ready for work. Then when I have days off I am bagged for at least the first one!
