I'm new to working out... well, at least in this decade of my life. LOL! I've been back at it for about 3 weeks. I was barely able to stay awake at work, my knees (admittedly 30 years older than the last time I asked them to work out) ache constantly, and waking up every morning was getting super hard. I upped my calories…

Suggestions: 1. Write the next great American novel 2. Invent a line of women's garments made only with toilet paper and silk flowers 3. Invent a new reality television show based on the crazy antics of bowling alley owners and the pros who hate them. That's a good start....

Yes, this. I buy real cream and real milk from producers who do not pump the cows with hormones, antibiotics, or steroids. I am leery of soy milk because some studies suggest soy can be bad for men. I love my man, so I'm sticking with cow juice for now. I'm trying very hard to keep my only sugar intake to fruits, honey, or…

New stoves can be hazardous to your sugar-free lifestyle... just sayin.

...that I do much better on a steady schedule, and that one unexpected break in the chain can have a disastrous affect on how much I can achieve in checking off my whole list of to-do's.

Phenomenal results! Way to go - you have really made a stunning transformation!
-
Yes ma'am! That's progress right there! I sure hope I do as well - thanks for the awesome inspiration!

:laugh: Sorry, that's just adorable! First off -- yes, it gets easier. My first "workout" incapacitated me for 2 days. I did squats, lunges, and all manner of other tortuous movements to somebody who had gotten completely out of shape. It took 2 days before I could sit down unassisted... anywhere. Let your imagination chew…

1/3 Cup Lowfat or No-fat cottage cheese OR 1/3 Cup No-Sugar Added / Low Fat Breyers Vanilla Ice cream 3/4 Cup Water 1/2 Banana (best if sliced, and put slices in freezer - if you do this the night before, no ice) 1 Scoop of your favorite protein powder. Blend really well - tastes just like a milkshake. You can change it up…

Holy smokes lady! You've really done yourself proud - you look great, and from what you said in your post, I believe you FEEL great, too. I'm doing what you started off with... the Wii games are almost exactly what I've been using. I hope and pray that my success is as amazing as yours is one day. Absolutely fantastic -…

I honestly don't notice other people. For me, I'd love to look cute working out, but that's physically impossible at this point. First off, I'm too big still to be "cute" doing anything that causes my fat to jiggle. Secondly, I do not perspire - I sweat. Buckets. If I wear makeup, it's an even uglier sight than if I went…

Marvelous - and my thoughts and prayers are with your father. Well done for breaking the chain! Schelly

There is very little clean meat in the U.S. as well. Even when you go hunt your own, you'r'e supposed to take it to a meat processing plant where they treat it according to mandated standards. You can get non-GMO animal protein unaffected by hormone-laced foods but unless you illegally butcher your own meat, you are…

You may have short-term success in dumping some pounds, but it won't be healthy, I promise - unless you made a typographic error and meant to say 1700. We are currently trying to repair a damaged metabolism because so-called experts put one of us on a 500 calorie per day diet. Completely depressed the metabolism; It's so…

Avenue had a sale recently and I picked up a couple pair of leggings with colorful trim, a couple of rib tanks in a size too big so my cute workout bra could peek through, and some workout capris. I'm not brave enough to wear the rib tanks in public, so I tend to wear my old t-shirts instead. I like that because my tee's…

I think my goal is back-assward. I'm hoping to get to my goal before we take our 2nd cruise in 2014. So, to me the cruise is the big goal..l I guess I could consider it my reward. I bought new workout clothes for losing 9 lbs and 19 inches (should have waited till 10 lbs but the sale was NOW! LOL) When I get under 200 I'm…

[Enthusiastic raucous applause] YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! Well done! :happy:

VLCDs are torture. They're also a great way to screw up your metabolism. My husband's metabolism is damaged and we're working to get it back to normal. He stayed on a liquid 500 calorie a day diet for one year. Have you ever gone a year without solid food? It's torture.

You can also choose to include more healthy calories in the foods you already eat. For example, adding slivered almonds to your oatmeal in the morning, or adding avocado (a very healthy fat) to your salads and omelettes. Also consider eating more times each day rather than having two or three big meals. :-)
-
Life involves slip-ups. You aren't on a diet - you've made a lifestyle change. I don't know anybody who never makes any mistakes or never slips up in life. Helenatrandom is right - forgive yourself and start again tomorrow. Every day is brand new, with no mistakes in it yet. I'm looking at my calorie intake and output as a…

Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Whey Protein Powder Oatmeal Spring mix salads Avocados and oranges Asparagus Frozen veggies Fresh & Easy lunches Half & Half cream Things to put in our protein shakes (cottage cheese, mint extracts, etc) Dog and Cat food & treats (more important than food for feeding me...)

Avocado is ordained by all that is good and right in the world. LOL! Honestly, it's a great source of healthy calories. So are nuts. Have the omelette and start using your snack time to have protein shakes and nuts for snacks; I'm trying to help my hubs do the same thing you're doing (for different reasons) and I know how…

Finned fish with scales - a marvelously protein-rich food. And if you do a search, you'll find some smoothie recipes using whey protein isolate powder that taste just like ice cream shakes. YUM!

If it doesn't have any caffeine or diuretic of any kind, I would. My LifeWater (by Sobe) goes in as water every day. Love that stuff!

Eating on the run - does that mean fast food? If so, you could have a sensitivity to sodium that causes you to retain water weight. I am very sensitive to sodium. But even if that's' true one thing to remember is that your body weight can fluctuate by 7 lbs in a single day. Weighing yourself first thing in the morning,…

Bought a full size smaller in: jeans, swimsuit, and bra. I've taken in my pants twice. Losing inches faster than lbs isn''t what I envisioned, but I'm 100% okay with it. :-)

How does a person whistle in a forum? WOW! Please consider this a standing ovation for all your hard work. You weren't joking - you ARE most definitely ripped. But not what I call a "bubble man" -- well done! Ummm... is it getting warm in here? :wink:
-
:heart: LOVE this! :heart:

Hmmm... didn't the guys try that already? <scratching head>

You might do a search - I know I've seen many posts regarding vegan lifestyles. You might not be as lonely as you think. But even if you *were* the only vegan / Indian, we can all still work together and cheer one another on. :flowerforyou:
