  • No one said that you or anyone should not be happy being who you are. We all do what we do to be happy or we would not do it. People do a lot of stuff for happiness but when they "get there or get it" they find that they are STILL NOT happy...what does that tell you? Do you know how many "slim" and Healthy people who are…
  • So, you started a Thread to give your 'ideas"...Yeah! Another Rhetorical Thread, and it may or may not be right.
  • Health, Wt Loss and Maintenance is 90% DIET (What YOU EAT!) and 10% Activity...if you reverse this you are asking for failure in the long run!!! NOW YOU make the decision.
  • Why would ANYONE who needs it Care what anyone think about their Choice! And if it were cheating, SO WHAT, if it means SAVING YOUR LIFE! Is a heart by-pass Cheating? CHEATING WHAT or WHO...The Grave and The Reaper!
  • Never to many veggies!!! I am a Vegetarian...And 80% of My diet is RAW Fresh Veggies and Fruit. What you just described is actually the New Standard American Diet. You are eating right, I guess for you. It is not excessive, I say dump the salmon and increase the broccoli (Great Protein source) and eat a whole baked sweet…
  • THIS thread should be entitled. "Cheese with this WHINE" instead of the other Thread!!! OMG, how weak are we to GIVE OUR POWER OVER To Others! WOW..."we" just surrender our power to STUPID strangers...or anyone for that matter, just give up our power and dignity behind a few words. People know how to pull "our" strings,…
  • If you are on a "diet" and never changed the way you eat...yes, when you stop the "diet" you will go back. I've been down over 150 lbs. for over 5 yrs, now I'm losing more. I have to pat myself on the back, I have changed a little at a time, over time. If you had told Me 5 yrs. ago that I would have changed so much, AND…
  • Your example(s) STILL did not answer the question. :flowerforyou:
  • Is it remotely possible to eat healthful and consume 3-5k in a day...My gosh, to think of all of this FOWL stuff going into My Body after all of the hard work to get it out is like Blasphemy. So, I guess everyone's goal is NOT to be/eat Healthy. WOW
  • LMAO...couldn't do it! But I would give it a heck of a try, I might get to 3k before I throw in the towel or get sick...hope I would have sense enough to throw in the towel first! What's the occasion?
  • OK, before you transition into something, I would THINK that anyone would DO RESEARCH! Like, what are the BEST Sources of Protein and where are they located; Best Sources of Calcium, B-12 Sources, what are Micro Nutrients and best sources, what does heating food do to it, how much raw and cooked food do I want to eat...DO…
  • I'm doing Raw right now so I add extra oil: A. Ripe Avocado (1), 1/4 C Olive Oil, blend very smooth. B. Ripe Avocados (2) Diced, 2 Limes juiced, (2) Finely diced Serrano Chiles. Combine Part A with B and stir...dip with Veggies! Lime will keep it fresh for 2-3 days. It's all about the Avocado and Citrus, everything else is…
  • DO NOT Do IT! Do you know how much Pressure running is putting on you feet, not to mention the pounding your knees, back and hip are taking with all of that weight. You will come to regret it years from now! Running is one of the worse, if not the worse exercise humans can do, even the fit ones...and you are going to put…
  • Your Body determines its maintenance weight. Once you have reached you goal weight RANGE. Do your normal activity, then you begin to add calories back into your diet at 50 or 100 say every 2 weeks. When your weight stabilizes (been at a weight range for 4-6 weeks) that is your maintenance wt. If, say in the future you…
  • Not an expert but I'm thinking what you described is NOT Clinical Depression...sounds kinda like "Life's Blues or Blahs". I recommend CHANGE, just change...You have the ability to CHANGE! And it does NOT have to be done tomorrow, it will take as long as it takes..ENJOY the Journey! Make a different world for yourself. I…

  • I think you should contact the Group "Eat More To Weigh Less"...in the Group section, ask some of them, they are pretty good at your type of situation. Also, you may be a prime candidate to use a juicer...juicing your fruit and veggies is a prime way to get you nutrients, with very little digestion needed. I'm surprised…
  • ABSOLUTELY, Juicing all the way!!! The Micro Nutrients are off the chart. I am presently doing a Vegan Raw Food Plan for 6 months...the first week I lost 10 lbs, felt great, but I had been transitioning BEFORE I went full boar. I would not recommend anyone just jump into Raw Veganism or just juicing for a long period.…
  • Only you can answer your question. You know what type of environment you thrive Best in, and what type of motivation you need (Coaching and/or Cheer-leading). You may need BOTH forums, just to get an idea of what you are eating, calorie wise...I'm thinking you need to know the calories/fat/protein/Vitamin/Minerals (Macros…
  • Just reading through the posts, I noticed that Everyone is apologetic for whites even Jewish degradation...BUT NOT so much with with Black pain. Not even Blacks are indignant, but then we always had to hide OUR pain from the majority to protect THEIR feelings. WE always took our pain out on EACH other in some way. ETA: I…
  • You are going to take a hit...do it now. Do a Reboot...check out the Group "Eat More To Weigh Less".
  • Yeah...well, you have the Right idea BUT the wrong tool. Grab the baked chicken and drop the Irish Cream. It REALLY is NOT calories in - calories out. It is TYPE of calories in - what calories burned. Though I am a Vegetarian, you would have been better off eating 3-4 pieces of baked, skinless chicken than drinking the…
  • Oh yeah, reffer put you here...put it on the herbs!
  • OMG...Just Google, and go to Medical sites and the Diabetes Association. THIS is no place to seek out specific Medical Info. All anyone can give you on here is anecdotal.
  • Yeah!!! I adore My Natural hair...BUT, I needed more consistency ( I need to know how I will look from day to day, and how it will react), so after over a year of all natural I am now using a mild texturizer about every 3-4 months. I use the knowledge that I have learned about how to care for My hair when it was…
  • A large glass of fresh juiced Green Juice with fresh juiced apples, a liter of water, green tea. THIS, you can not beat. Enough Micro Nutrients for two full days, with 90-100% absorption, very little digestion needed to slow Me down, Energy up the wazoo, and a super charged metabolism boost! YES, the breakfast of TRUE…
  • Do it for The HEALTH...Setbacks are what happen when You do something for the Wrong reasons! Not getting in the Army is a GOD send...GET HEALTHY and make a Great Life! Be Well
  • (1) You are not as heavy, so wt loss will go slower; (2) Do NOT adjust your calories down, keep them up so and let your metabolism do the work; (3) You can put any timeline on wt. loss you want, your BODY is going to Do what it wants to DO...so do not get frustrated. If you weighed 350+ Lbs at one point then you are making…
  • In this society, with the HIGH calorie-low nutrient foods it is VERY easy to overeat every day (just to get satiated) especially when you are not tracking what you eat. That is why I do not understand people on here who say they will leave when they reach their "goal" or they need a break from logging. That is NUTS, who…
  • Ok...Are you REALLY willing to risk your LIFE on what a bunch of people suggest, who do NOT even know your History. AND THEY don't even agree on the Same strategy. Isn't this something you should talk about with your Medical Provider, or a CERTIFIED Nutritionist at least. WOW If you can not afford a health care provider, I…
