  • Yes this has been happening to me. I stopped using the recipe creator for several days, as of today it seems to be working again. (for me) Hopefully it was just a temporary bug.
  • This is a good idea, I was considering doing this before as well. I might up my calories a little, because when I add in exercise I get serious hunger pains even on this allowance. Whats crazy to me Is that I must have been eating about 1000 cals more or so a day than my current allowance when i wasn't tracking. just…
  • Thanks for the feedback guys. Since I am about 50lbs above my goal I have a ways to go, I will keep eating at this level and reassess in about 25lbs. So far I feel good. As someone else said, I have the time, I would rather do this the slow way and be successful long term. I lost 60lbs about 7 years ago and have maintained…
  • Grilled Boneless Chicken Thighs on my Traeger smoker (makes any meat amazing) With a side of buttered steamed mixed vegetables, sliced cucumbers and mini sweet peppers dipped in Greek yogurt ranch dressing. Low carbs to make up for the pizza and alcohol yesterday :wink:
  • the weather is amazing, warm and dry. very very hot during the summer... the sheer amount of people is overwhelming sometimes, you are probably used to this living in the city.. but i feel like there is a constant buzz in the air... freeway noise I guess. its nice when you get out to the beaches or mountains, much quieter.…
  • I'm from New York! Upstate that is... hehe. I was born in Plattsburgh and lived in Albany. Im in Southern CA for now. I miss my state!
  • Everyone here has good advice and ideas. However I would like to say that if you are feeling unhealthy and need to lose weight to be in good health, then you should respect yourself just as much as you respect her. While it is absolutely great that you care so much for her feelings and want her to be healthy and stable…
  • I eat low carb (most of the time) I haven't followed Atkins or any specific diet. Maybe I would align closely with Paleo eating? But I eat cheese and dairy and they do not. I feel we don't need a label, sometimes people get so caught up in saying what they are. I love low carb eating! You have to feel it out and see how it…
  • I think It's interesting that people say they don't do 'low carb' but cut out many major sources of carbs (pasta, rice, sugar, ect) Effectively that is low(er) carb. Why such a stigma with low carb diets? There are many ways to restrict your eating habits, vegetarian, vegan, no red meat, ect... Low carb is just one of…
  • I think she said she already eats 1200 calories a day, that is already very low, eating less than that is what the others are recommending? Whatever, LOL :/ I would say be patient, your body will lose fat all over, or basically where ever it wants to when you are eating at a deficit, there is no cure for belly fat. If you…
  • HAHA This is hilarious! I need to log being alive, what category would that fall under?
  • If I was the OP I wouldn't even come back to this thread again, but on the off chance that you do read this, please don't let any of these nasty comments hurt you. I know that is impossible in a certain sense because no matter what we say being mocked and insulted hurts. You have every right to your feelings because you…
  • This kind of confuses me, so you lost .8lbs? Or 10 lbs? If it's the first, I'm glad you are happy, those little things are something that can give satisfaction, and it's nice to see the scale move down. However just know that it might not be wise to invest so much enjoyment in that small of a loss, as it is most likely…
  • How cool, seeing this made my day! It's neat how honest and proud you are of your achievement, Great Job! :) It's always such an awesome feeling to fit into something that didn't fit before.
  • I used to live near Chattanooga, but that was a while ago, I'm in Cali now.. Tennessee is pretty cool, well except right now it's probably hot and humid, hmm? LOL I love the Smoky Mountains, probably my favorite mountains in the entire world, nothing compares to their beauty! haha I really love them though.
  • Talk about a set up.... Pac obviously won, no one thought Bradley was winning. Who says when asked how they feel about winning, that they need to go home and 'Review the tapes..' Ahahaha...he knew he lost. It's just a travesty, sad you have to pay so much to see something that isn't real.
  • I have worked in retail jobs for awhile now and I have observed how many people behave. I have had to correct people many times, and sometimes it is just not worth it. Keep in mind that the clerk is there much longer than you are and there is no telling what he has had to deal with for 8.00 an hour. Haha.. For instance…
  • Being fat is unattractive. This has been drilled into our minds our entire lives. Is it really suprising that overweight people are treated as less than, unworthy, and undeserving. We are all part of 'Society'. It's not just an entity that one can blame for all the Ill's in the world, it starts with us, when we move about…
  • That sounds amazing, I'm craving some right now... can't wait to try it.
  • I started yesterday, I'm about to go pop in the DVD right now, but I am SO sore.. I tend to get sore so easily. I want to do every day for 10 days but we will see how sore I get. Count me in the group, We can do this! :)
