Tried those waffles this week and liked them a lot! I have been gf for about a month and 1/2 now. I keep leaning toward organic whole foods also when given the choice. I feel so much better and don't have cravings like I did before. This was week was my first week back at work since being gf and no one knew so they…

Laying on a hospital bed watching the ultrasound on my heart and watching it pause every other beat and driving home thinking of my family if I fell over dead and how it could all be prevented if I just got healthy.

I have a large stomach, I looked 6 months pregnant all the time. When I started losing weight, it went flabby. What was one big belly is now two rolls of flab that shows with my clothes. I know what you're saying.

Bought my first loaf of gf bread today- I have not been able to get anything but EnerG Light Brown Rice Bread- I can't wait to be able to order Udi! TropicalKitty- you're not the only one needing a turkey sandwich, that was my motivation to get bread. 2 questions about gf bread- for those of you who buy it over the…

Anyone willing to ship gf Bisquick to me? I used regular Bisquick all the time before and it is so slow getting to my little corner of the world. Pancakes, biscuits, shortcake, casserole topper, sausage balls...must I go on at what I know I could have if only I had the bisquick!!!! Who does seem to have it?

LOL!! Not my weggies..my veggies..:blushing: .and I even proof read. Hehehehehehe!:laugh:

I weigh in on Friday morning. I never know what I am doing over the weekend and Sat & Sun are the days I usually go over . I am on a schedule Mon-Fri and it is easier to stay on track. Also if I mess up on Sat, I have the week to fix it before next weekend. When I did Weight Watchers, I weighed in on Monday night and it…

I tried exercising one morning before ewating anything at all and got really light headed and felt very weak. I wold have to agree with the other in eating something to get your blood sugar levels going ( I assume mine was low which was why I was light headed)

This turned in to a good debate. It comes down to a matter of opinion and how far you are willing to go to be healthy. Moderation seems to be a consistant statement. For me, I have cut down from about 6 cans a day to 2 after a month. That is partly because I am drinking my water. Who knows, in another month I may get down…

I have been at it for about a month now and yes, one of the biggest eye openers was seeing what I was eating. When I first began, I ate every bit of my calories. Now I I have to force myself most nights to eat them all. I hate peanut butter, but one Tablespoon is 100 calories, so I will get a TB, stick it in my mouth and…

I alternate- first drink of the day is 40oz of water, then a can of diet dr pepper (with lunch) then 40 oz of water, then a can of diet dr pepper (with afternoon snack) then my last 20 oz of water. If we stopped to worry about everything in our food...yes we should go organic. Then the fumes from the car we follow to the…

I use it and agree it is great! Try sitting down on a rainy Sunday afternoon and visiting food sites and jotting down gf foods for various resturants you may visit. If the resturant is not on the website, visit the resturant site and looking within, what they offer gf is there, WHen I go out and I haven'tplanned for it, I…

I know what you mean...I wonder why I waited so long to do this!! No one has noticed I have lost yet either, but our day is coming!!

hard boiled egg veggies wrapped in deli turkey ot ham peanut butter with apple black or red bean salad

I understand what you are all going through. I go over in fiber very often and still can't go or be regular. Today, by belly is bloated to where I look nine months pregnant and I have not been really good in about 3 days. I will try the Miralax daily. I go to the doc next week for it. I always just thought it was my doet…

To grill cut it in to thick slices so it doesn't fall apart. I love to cut it into really thin strips and eat it like spaghetti. It can be eaten raw in black bean salad

Sorry meant to start a new thread.

What food are you eating on a regular basis..like your new fav food? Zuchinni and summer squash cut into thin strips and steamed, topped with spaghetti sauce and chicken chunks. I could eat it 3 meals and day!

I want to change my tummy pooch from my kids (shrinking but not gone), my arms (flabby), and I want small implants to perk up the girls and my butt could be smaller.... uh.... and I would give myself a salary raise I haven't had one for awhile. ::wink:

VENT Mad at myself!!! Geeeez- I Glutened myself today and I am paid for it. I bought my kids a jerky stick today when I got gas and was hungry so I got one for myself...opened it...at it and within 30 minutes my stomach was cramping like it used to before i went gf. I grabbed the wrapper and looked..behold it contained…

Believe me you can live without fast food. My family & I eat out once or twice a month. Just plan ahead, hit the grocery store if in a bind or many gas stations have fruit at the deli now and healthy snacks snuggled among the candy bars. Try it for a week and I think you will find you can go two. Just plan out meals and…

Maybe a few things like you had had breakfast, maybe not had #2 ( I have lost 2 lbs before at one trip) and did you maybe not drink enough water? Just some things to consider. Weigh again in a few days but I would think if you are feeling good it is prob just something small.

I walk during my lunch break, usually 15 minutes or so. Do things like sucking in your belly and holding it, tighten your butt muscles, holding your arms straight out for 1 minute at a time and acting like you are pedaling a bike also can help.

I lost 16 lbs in a month because I had to go gluten free and I lost a tone of water from that and I am exercising for the 1st time in forever. I expect when I taper off and am not losing so fast it'll be frustrating...but that is why I have MFP!!!!!!!!!!

Great idea to take pictures. I think I'll pick an out fit to always have my progress pic taken in- I always hated having my pic taken- b fun to post them in my profile also.

black beans, chopped onion, red pepper and any other veggie you want, the more the merrier, Add some diced chicken, olive oil, fresh lime juice. Mix and let flavors blend overnight in refridge. Put it in tortilla, with lettuce, cracker topper, tortilla chips anything

I eat zuchinni with spaghetti sauce all the time and it is "the bomb"! Usually don't bother with the thin strips, I just cube it into chunks! Try summer squash or egg plant and add some green pepper, onion and diced tomato- one of my favorite meals!!

keep drinking your water also, it helps your skin keep its elasticity.

Sounds like you have really been devoted and it is paying off...congrats!!! I have wondered, three years from know when the weight is off- will I still be logging into MFP? What about 10 years.... Logging has been such a big step to the loss. Keep up the great work and enjoy your glory:flowerforyou:

Smart choices- weigh think about it...a piece of chicken dipped in batter and fried in grease or a skinless boneless breast sprinkled with seasoning and grilled. Eat out occasionally but check the fat and carbs and sodium and not just the calories. Even having a salad can add up, learn what not to have in it and the better…
