Walking is one way to help in your weight loss journey.

I've been away for awhile, debating the usefulness of coming back. I have my zip on a wristband. The only good answer if you don't wear a bra or if you only wear a bra some of the time. https://www.fitbit.com/user/43945W

One of the things I have found is, I get a lot of gas when I use flour alternatives. So, one just has to give up on all those things, you used to like, concentrate on veggies, fruit, rice and meat, if you still eat meat. Dairy and eggs are also ok.

I am a vivofit person, I have been thinking about dropping this group as here is so little activity, but I am still thinking.

If you are going GF, then you should also not be consuming high fructose corn sugar (HFCS) and be restricting processed foods.

I have recently gone gluten free and most of the time try to eat organically.

I have recently gone GF, primarily because my daughter is a Gluten Sensitive, intestinal issues, headaches and sinus issues primarily. There is an addictive quality to wheat or gluten and you must resist the temptation to give into the gluten addiction. I watched a youtu.be video where a doctor talked about the effect…

Exercise will allow you to eat more while you are dieting. Exercise does a lot more for you than just losing weight, conditions your body, you will feel strong and vibrant, allows your body to become an efficient high tech machine. Even if you do not lose any weight, the exercise is important to your overall well being.

That is known as a double yolker. Not sure, but if they were incubated would they come out as twins. :smile:

Fat is not bad, studies have shown reducing carbs will give you better weight loss than reducing fats, so use the olive oil, one that is fresh pressed and not heated and enjoy life. For pesto, I would use fresh basil, garlic cloves, pine nuts and olive oil. Oh, I forgot the Parmesan cheese. You need the oil to blend…

Awhile ago, I would have never answered this. I feel I am gender fluid and gender queer. I also say pansexual. I have a lot of passion for females, especially lesbian females. I feel I am part female though I am MAAB. I am drifting more into being female. I dress as a man, jeans, t-shirt and sandals when I can, other times…

You might want to check out this website, http://authoritynutrition.com/23-studies-on-low-carb-and-low-fat-diets/ Low carb diets seem to work better than low fat diets. I would suggest eat the pepperoni and bacon pizza, but not the crust. Eating the proper amount of fat allows you to feel fuller and hold you for a longer…

I consider Nutrisweet a poison, you can look it up on the net, don't take my word for it. Nutrisweet mimics several diseases, not sure if it brings them on, like MS, fibromyalgia, etc. It is also very addictive, the reason that you are chained to this drug. Do you want to be a drug addict or do you want to be free. If it…

To understand why Alcohol is so deadly for weight gain, one has to look at the chemical formula and/or chemical structure. Organic structures always are a carbon ring structure, around this ring structure are atoms of various types which define the chemical, most of the time it is an hydrogen atom. With alcohol one of…

I bought the green coffee extract last spring, took it for awhile, didn't do much. I wasn't working on my diet at the time. The extract might work some, but I think diet and exercise would work a lot better.

I have one word for you. Walking!!! If you can go out walking, work up to an hour if you can. At one time I was 315 lbs, If you can't walk outside, because of weather or whatever else, Leslie Samsone has great tapes for walking and the 1 mile one is great for beginners. There is a copy of her 1 mile walk on YouTube, if you…

I make smoothies with my homemade yogurt, fruit (berries), sometimes frozen, banana, a splash of apple juice and a bit of honey. Maybe not as good as I should do, but they taste great and keep me regular. It's the yeast in the yogurt, not probiotic, but good enough for me. I am looking for a quick and easy blender, one…

I just updated my profile pic 5 days ago. :smile: :laugh:

I eat too many times in a day.

Where are you with this woman, acquaintances, friends, intimate or more? She asks you out, so you are going to let her foot the bill, maybe you could say, let's do dutch treat. If it works out, maybe you can always do that, or talk to her, find out what she can do, maybe you should be paying. if you're on a tight budget,…

It means a Better You!!! :smile:

While on WW, I lost quite a bit of weight. I did this by eating power foods and by only using 10 points less than the points, I was given and never using weekly points. If I used all my points, I was given, I would never lose weight, in fact I would most likely gain weight. WW's points system is design so your weight loss…

I am on weight watchers, stopped the automatic withdrawal for the month of April. I take my adult daughter to WW, so don't know if I will have to join again, but it's more money than I wish or can afford to pay. The good weather is here so am hoping to get my diet working again.

I belong to WW and MFP. WW costs $44.95 a month, was going to quit WW, but didn't happen. I don't like paying $45 a month. I had stopped losing, had stopped logging, still not logging. I have started doing the Wii Fit Plus, 310 calories a day, 30 minutes free step and the rest between running and balance activities. I…

I make a 5 cup pot of coffee most every morning, 6 oz cups, so 30 oz of coffee. I usually use 1 or 2 sugar cubes and about 1/2 cup 2% milk. Some days I drink yesterday's left over coffee and once in awhile I skip coffee. Normally coffee is the first thing I do in the morning. I usually buy Green Mountain Coffee or some…

Yesterdays wine becomes today's free wine and I though I was the only one that didn't finish the bottle of wine.

I will have a glass of wine, chardy or Cabernet Sauvignon or dry sherry. I like the dry sherry the best, Taylor's is inexpensive and pretty good tasting. My problem is resisting the second and third glasses. One glass is not bad in calories, I usually can handle the calories, it's when I do the second and third glass that…

I want to go bicycle riding like I used to do. I used to ride 20 miles a day. I want to go camping at Arcadia National Park. I want to do all the things I used to do before I put on all this weight. I want to go to the beach and feel I am one of the guys on the beach, instead of someone who has to struggle to move around.…

I consider myself a flexitarian, someone who restricts meat, but not totally vegetarian. My daughter, Ginny, who lives with me claims to be a carnivore, so it is real hard for me to be a true vegetarian. I think eggs and milk products are ok for a vegetarian. I do not feel right about eating fish, the last time I made…

Goto settings and diet profile and set your weight, goal weight, activity level and how fast you want to lose. That should make things more to your liking. If you make it too easy, you won't lose.
