You really can see the change... Your legs, stretch marks ...... Great job.....Keep up the good work.....

Welcome! Some people think going gluten free is hard. You just have to pay attention! I have been GF sine 1997. Celiac......at first, I thought I would have to omit all the good things but there are so many companies making GF foods now, it is getting easier....Lots of the local grocery store are carrying more products..…

You can get brown rice tortillas.. I use them for wraps--not quite as easy to roll but it works....Also try Udi's products... they are good tasting....Rudi's are ok and my health food store manager says Kinnibunk is a new company making some good breads.. He was sold out of them...

I am not a person to keep up with the gym.. So my exercise is whatever I feel like.. In summer, I do like to walk.. But I have videos and even record Gilad on TV.. He has a good workout and targets different areas of body every day.. But the abs are every day.....And the view is beautiful, not a studio but Hawaii!!!! It is…

this program is just like your conscience... It's between you and your body....If you don't list some things, you still have an idea of what calories you ate or still have left....Not a big deal......we all guess at the amounts of food, so sometimes you are over and sometimes you are under so it all evens out.......

I was disappointed to find that Kroger didn't have the gluten free rack that they used to.. maybe it was just the 2 stores I went into this week... I will have my husband look at the one I used to shop... We don't have Kroger in our town....so when he travels by them, he stops... I also found that Harris Teeter has some…

I find that at any restaurant, I can find something to eat that is GF... Maybe it's a baked potato or a burger.. grilled chicken,,,or a steak...fresh veggies.....then there's always a salad....just choose your GF dressing.....if in doubt, oil and vinegar....

I cut them in half and the cost isn't as much per serving!!!! $2 per serving

It seems that whether it is Celiac disease or wheat allergy, no 2 people have the same symptoms... I have celiac but didn't have symptoms as described by some... I had diarrhea and weight loss and pain in the lower left side.....I had a stomach biopsy for diagnosis....I guess I am lucky that I didn't have more.....Sorry…

Chrunchmaster has a line of crackers that are GF>>>and in different flavors..I found them at Walmart....very good.....

I have been gluten free for 5 years with Celiac disease....I have found that the dietitian didn't know much about it so I have used the internet as my main source of information....There are a lot of products out there that are gluten free but everything is expensive.. I say they average about $5 a package....If you have a…

DO NOT throw in the towel. You can lose the weight, you just may have to work at it..... I am 56 and I lost a total 25 pounds. I am now "around" my goal. So it is possible. And when the doctor scares you with all the health problems that you may have, it's a bit easier. I am now no longer pre- diabetic, have high blood…

Udi's has a good pizza crust.... Also Domino's has a gluten free crust... It is not made in a gluten free environment--they don't have a special place to make them... I have eaten them and they are really good.......As for caffeine pills--i don't take them.....

As you have found out, you have to make wise choices. Try to divide your calories up into meals. For instance, I try to use around 300 for breakfast---only eat 1/2 half of the bagel or 1 bowl of cereal. Then have a low calories snack mid morning and mid afternoon... That really helped me.. You can choose Yoplait yogurt…

I set a goal and stuck to the plan. I set 5 pound goals and it worked for me.....My ultimate goal was to get to pre pregnancy weight.. my daughter is 31 now .. I had gotten a few pounds over the 9 month pregnancy weight. .So the pre pregnancy weight goal worked for me!!

once you get into the habit of logging on your food, it will get easier....You will see what wrong things you are eating and then make better choices....

one thing you have to know is that your intestines don't heal right away.. It could take years to be healed depending on the amount of damage that you have.... I lost weight before I was diagnosed.. I don't have the same symptoms as everyone else so I can't help you.. My symptoms other than the weight loss were diarrhea,…

You may one day " joke" and say something like ----"Boy,dude"s name, I can't believe you STILL have some time left. Surely, you have used all your hours up .......... Make sure a boss is within hearing distance..

keep on going!!! it is worth it!!!! And MFP works......

if i was on a budget, I certainly would try to find shoes for less than $150..... And try thrift shops too...

I just watch my food.. I am able to "cheat" a little bit so if I want to taste something, I have a bite...I also do the "chew and spit" every now and then... You just chew it to get the taste and then politely spit it out....that way, no gluten gets swallowed....

I am proud of you that you knew that it could be done and you have achieved it!!!

and look how happy you are!!!!

Sorry you feel this way... MFP is like the game of golf... It's what you do.. Count your calories and count your golf strokes....It's all a mind game.... Maybe you could give it another try. I have a few friends and family on this and we have all had good results. Oh, the weight doesn't come off as fast as we would have…

Change what you are eating all day... fruits and veggies that have little or no calories... It's a start.....And DRINK lots of water!!!!!

get a second opinion.......

congratulations for believing that you can do it!!!! you look beautiful!!!!

Not silly at all!!!! congrats..... these are the things that will keep you going!!!!

Please check the calorie count in the gluten free breads... Some is per slice and others is for 2 slices...

I hope that you will have the strength to pull yourself out of the situation that your employer put you in... You don't have to work there... I was in a job that I had to resign from and let me tell you that it was the best thing that happened to me.. You need to take care of yourself, physically and mentally, and this…
