Welcome! Kudos for keeping off the 18 pounds. I did WW a few years ago. Tracking here is easier and I love the support. I like the fact that WW teaches healthy eating, lots of veggies, fruits and lean protein. Good luck and don't beat your self up over binging. We all slip occasionally, it's only a problem if it continues

Low carbohydrate diets cause the body to go into different metabolic state called ketosis, whereby it burns its own fat for fuel. Normally the body burns carbohydrates for fuel -- this is the main source of fuel for your brain, heart ,and many other organs. A person in ketosis is getting energy from ketones, little carbon…

calories are calories, so if that's all you have and you are within your calorie limit go for it. a weiner once in a while is a nice treat!

You Sir are amazing! Your kids are adorable too!

I too was inspired buy the documentary so I dusted off my 20 year old omega juicer and went on a 3 day juice fast. Prior to the fast I stopped drinking coffee - had a headache for 2 weeks! While fasting I lost the desire to eat, the first day I was starving, after that you no longer crave food. I would have liked to have…

I never had a bad experience on CL. When my son was 19 I sold all his leggos, I must've paid $1500 for them over the years for $200. They guy came to my house with his son and packed them all up. I also use CL to get rid of old furniture and books. Free stuff will go in < 24 hours. I give more stuff away than I sell. I…

we need calcium, you can track it to see if you are deficent. a supplement wouldn't hurt

Does Dr Oz get kickbacks for promoting this BS?

WHOO HOO!! That is fantastic! less insulin = more weight loss!!! Keep up the great work

I love this thread! My Blendtec blender, my scale, measuring cups and Cutco Knives

I live in the Bronx, which has the highest obesity rates in New York, We are not nearly as obese as those southern states though. LUckily Mayor Bloomberg started mandatory posting of nutritional information at restaurants and banned trans fats way back. I love NY!

Wow! you are one hot mama! i am sorry for your loss. You are doing an amazing job for you and your son.

THe poor baby bumblebee! Yes, that is disturbing. When my kids were little we used to listen to Raffi - he is great! We're going to the zoo, zooo, zooo, how about your, you, you? and Mr Bell......I think I liked Raffi as much as my kids did! Where are you guys from? I never heard the murderous bumble bee song. Is that a…

I can't get of the scale. I am drawn to it every day - like a moth to a flame. I know it can hurt me but still....... I have a wifi scale and it does talk to me. THis morning ir said "Hi Cindy"

What is wrong with being a dog?

YEA!!! That is great! You are getting stronger and in control of your eating.

totally healthy unless you have high cholesterol which I doubt because you look young. mmmmmmmmm eggs = good

yes, no carbs but lots of fat calories, about 100 calories/ounce

Me too! it is so frustrating. I lose 2 and gain 2. My scale autonatically uploads my weight and I can't stop weighing myself daily. Every morning I am compelled to get oin the damn scale. MFP only posts losses so it looks like I am losing a lot and my frineds keep congratulating me but I AM NOT WORTHY!!!! I know I need to…

I see you got a lot of smart *kitten* answers to your post. There are some knuckleheads on this site. The DB is usually pretty accurate. For scrambed eggs I would add one egg plus 1/2 tsp butter or margerine and whatever else you put in it. I would say 99% of the time it's accurate. And the scanner is pretty cool!

try frozen pineapple and half the berrries. I use almond milk it's only 40 calories/8ounces. after a while your sweet tooth will decrease!

smoothies - i make it at home and bring it in. almond milk, banana, pineapple and chia seed

hi again. I just realized that I don't meet your criteria. I lost 9% intially with the juice fast. I was logging on MFP during and continually after the fast BUT I have gradually lost 14%. Not too shabby you negative Nellies out there

Hello, I went on a 3 day juice fast. Then started juicing in the morning and brought some for lunch and at night and had a healthy dinner - grilled chicken and salad. THis lasted 2 weeks. It was a lot of work and was hard to do while working full time. I lost 15 lbs/month and kept it off. I am gradually working on losing 8…

I think that you aren't eating enough. I need 1200 calories to lose weight and I am 54 years old- LOL Plus you should eat back your exercise calories. Be sure to track everything that you eat and drink. Good luck!

I think carbs are only important if you are diabetic or have some other medical problem. I also track iron - a d I am usually deficient so I take a vitamin with minerals and just track calories and protein.

Seriously , did you ever actually cook spinach? If you take 2 pounds And sautéed it, it shrinks down to like 2 cups

I would say YES! YES IT DOES HELP! My friends keep me accountable. I'm totally honest and I know if I start not being honest, I will fall back into the old habits that made me gain weight in the first place. That "Yea!"" Way to go! You are awesome!" - really makes it easier to stick with a plan. I wish mfp friends lives…
