I just substituted half a cup of hemp powder for half a cup of flour and there was no difference. It made the loaf a bit darker, but there is no tasted difference at all.

You are doing very well and I know that you will continue on that path. I empathize with you. It is harder for women in their 50's to lose significant amounts of weight, but it is doable. I am in the same place as you are and neither one of us is going to give up. You will succeed. Please keep us posted.

Disclaimer: This is just my personal approach as someone who lost a considerable amount of weight a few years ago using this website, but then gained it back after a fairly bad car accident... and then some. I don't eat them - I treat my calorie reduction and exercise as two completely different entities. I don't log my…

You are inspiring.

I have been here since April, and managed to lose 31lbs so far. This site has taught me the value of food, that everything I put into my mouth has a consequence, and enabled me to adopt portion control. I have found that I haven't given up that much, and I do have days where I have treated myself and not been as strict,…

You are all very kind, thank you for your words of support and encouragement! :D

You're gorgeous! The guy is the one with the problem, maybe he will grow out of liking girls with little boys figures and start actually liking a woman's figure. And maybe he won't...

:laugh:

If I could afford one, I would definitely have one. Unfortunately money is extremely tight so I have to do my best with the information that I find online.

You have done amazingly! Good for you. :D

Hey, my ticker is gone.

I fell off the wagon a bit, although I have been doing cardio every day and drinking my water. The scale didn't move for two weeks - until this morning. Horray! Goal Weight: 195lbs - Current Weight: 193lbs Starting Stats Weight: 203lbs Chest: 40.5 Waist: 39 Hips: 47.5 Left Thigh: 27 Right Thigh: 27 Left Calf: 17 Right…

I haven't had any results in almost two weeks, not a pound or an inch. Good timing for me to read this article. The problem is that I just can't eat any more than I do. I am eating several things throughout the day and I just can't fit another thing into me. I am upping some of my meals to be more calorie intense, two eggs…

Now THAT is celebrating your birthday! I absolutely loved reading that. I hope you have a fabulous birthday and a wonderful year ahead. :drinker:

Wow, it is good to hear that someone actually gets these guys sometimes. I am sure that money will come in handy for you and your family.

That is a great way to look at it, I really like that. Congratulations! :drinker: <----water

I'm a vegetarian, the majority of my daily calories come from fresh veggies, so they all get logged. Plus, because most are so low it is nice to see that you are eating so much and it isn't high in calories. You should log everything, because even if the calories seem to not be worth it you are also capturing all the other…

Thursday Cardio Walking - 42 minutes Water 10 X 16oz = 160oz Weight this morning is 195lbs.

Wednesday Cardio Walking - 36 Minutes Water 12 X 16oz = 184oz I didn't feel very well last night, and even cut my walk short. :frown:

Are you able to get a hold of a recumbent bike? I picked one up on Craigslist or Kijiji (can't remember which) for $50 back in early 2008. It isn't fancy, and a bit older, but it works fine. You can also try asking for one on Freecycle. I found that it was the perfect exercise after I had my knee surgery, and it really…

Goal weight loss from today - 55lbs. No children, have never wanted to have any. Lots of pets as I am active in animal rescue. In my third year of being vegetarian. I gave all meat up cold turkey the day after watching Earthlings. I've been an Animal Rights Advocate, Animal Rescue Advocate, Environmental Advocate for over…

I'm a vegetarian as well. Count me in.

I am loving my walks too - it is very addictive but in a good way. I am doing 2 miles in about 35-40 minutes because I find that anything faster than that makes my knees scream, but you are just doing fabulous with the speed you are going. Hopefully I will be able to speed up a bit once I lose more weight. I get upset if I…

That is super! Considering how much exercising that you are doing, I am not surprised on your weight loss success or of how much better you are feeling. Congratulations! :D
