Skim milk, butter, eggs, chia seeds, greek yogurt, bacon, flax seed, tons of veggies, a few fruits, lots of low calorie/low sodium sauces/mustards, garlic, low sodium cottage cheese, soymilk, homemade coffee creamer and a piece of chocolate cream pie. :)

Yeah, tell us how many you burn while eating 3000 cals per day. :)

acm 20?

It's no different than wearing socks that are too tight. Your ankles, feet look smaller then don't they? Yep, because the fluid was pushed to a different part of your body. Socks are a lot cheaper than a wrap though.

If you are at a healthy weight, are in maintenance, do OK anyway, without logging, then I don't see why it would matter. If you're not losing weight, haven't reached a healthy weight, etc., then put in the effort to find out where you can improve your diet. You're the one in control here.

Calories in/calories out. If you don't do this everyday I don't see why it matters. Fruit is good for you.

Wow, that's a lot of supplements. You must have expensive pee! :noway: Anyway, I take estroven energy. It is to lessen the night sweats and hot flashes I have. It got rid of the night sweats 100%. It has done NOTHING for hot flashes. I take a fiber supplement because I take meds for high blood pressure that 'could' make me…

Have the on duty fitness manager, instructor, or whoever, show you how! That's why they are there. I'm not sure why it would bother you, but if it does, go during a time when fewer people would be there. At my gym, it's around 10 or 11am.. mostly older folks are there then. It doesn't bother me at all to see anyone learn…

I already had one that I used for cooking before I started losing weight. Out of curiosity, I decided to weigh my 1/2 cup of dry oatmeal that was also supposed to weigh 40 grams. It weighed nearly 50. It wasn't a huge difference but big enough that if it happened all day long, it would make a difference in my progress. Now…

When I feel 'unmotivated', I just get up and tell myself that I'm going to walk just 10 minutes at a pace I'll enjoy, so I'll do again the next day and not get burnt out. I always end up walking longer. I think it's just getting started that matters. Good luck. :)

Welll that was rude of him. I believe that every person is different so who is he to say you will always struggle with food? It sounds like he was jealous, like those people who have to point out that you will gain all of your weight back in a year. They don't know about it being a lifestyle yet, I guess. Anyway, I don't…

I think it's time for Kitty Kebobs. Yeah, I'm joking. First, get your cat checked to make sure he/she doesn't have a urinary tract infection. My cat did the same, her litter box was 100% clean and she peed on the rug I kept under it. I had to boot her to the porch because I didn't want my floor ruined. She has never gone…

IMO, your cat should only eat his exercise calories if he vomits his food on the carpet, with one of those nice hairballs, within 24 hours. If he doesn't vomit, he should only eat about half, or only if he's truly hungry.

This^^ I know it's not easy to admit that you have a problem, but you're doing it for a reason. Even if you stop the binging and purging, the problem still exists. When I was anorexic/bulimic, I had no idea why I was doing it! Please get help. Once you learn how to cope with 'issues', it's a lot easier to maintain a…

Nike has some lightweight running shorts with the underwear built in that I love. I bought them at ****'s sporting goods. Also, if your thighs rub, try using some Glide. It's a deodorant stick-like bar that you rub anywhere there is friction. When I used it, it helped with the 'riding' up of my shorts too. You can also go…

I was on the Atkins version years ago and lost several pounds easily. But...as soon as I stopped, I started craving every single carb I missed, and then some. That was the only time in my life I can ever say I binged. Mainly I remember craving pasta. By the time I didn't crave carbs again, I had gained 10lbs on top of what…

My parents were the same way, but I was skinny and they called me 'bones'. My sister was overweight and our mother told her that she couldn't be in MY wedding because she was too fat. I was only 18 when I got married and I didn't stick up for her, I guess out of fear that my parents wouldn't pay for the wedding, idk. How…

Yummy! Sorry I don't have a recipe that I have used myself, but maybe put it in the crockpot with soup and veggies. Sometimes we do that with waterfowl. I never had wild game while growing up, but I married a hunter and have at times, fried squirrel, pheasant, chicken, rabbit and quail in the same pan. Delicious!

Umm no. If you would have read my post, I said my hot MUSCULAR body that does cardio will outlive the heavy lifters. I do both.. I wasn't putting anyone down. I just believe, and yeah it's my opinion, that a strong body also needs a strong heart and lungs. :)

That's the way to do it! A strong body needs a strong heart and lungs too! :)

Said, sarcastically due to the massive amount of lifters who bash cardio. That's all.

I'd just consider the source and ignore it. You're doing amazing!

My hot muscular body that also does cardio will outlive the heavy lifters.

Congrats! That is amazing and will inspire many and let them know that there is hope, IF they work at it like you have. :)

I have 3 also. A 30 year old daughter, 28 year old daughter and a son 23. 4 grandkids..3, 2, 1 and 3 months. Love it!

Histamines are produced when you have an allergic reaction to something. See an allergy Dr. and please get tested.. hives can be dangerous if your mouth/airway are involved. Good luck and I pray you get relief soon!

I hate water. I lost 40lbs hating it, now I'm building muscle with my generic, diet koolaid. ha

Wow that was mean of your husband, I'm sorry. He could have been nicer and just said it wasn't flattering or whatever. Anyway.. my worst moment was when I realized that the 'cute' swimsuit I had worn all summer was actually a maternity suit. I partly thank my bad eyesight for that because it said maternity right on the tag…

Yeah it does, you're just used to what yours tastes like.

Water tastes VERY different, depending on where it comes from. I think it's more of a smell issue.. City water: Gags me, the chlorine taste is awful. I travel a lot and I've tasted sulfur, metallic tastes, algae, a 'river' taste (whatever that is, I can't describe it) Bottled water sometimes tastes like plastic. The only…
