Guess I'm the only one... :sad:

C'mon y'all, I know you're out there :tongue:

Wow. Until I joined MFP I never had any idea that this comment might be taken this way. I've said that to people but I never meant it in a "You're losing too much, it's unhealthy" kind of way. I always meant it as a silly compliment - like ackowledging that they have been so super-succesful at losing the weight that they…

If you really want the extra calories without the c arbs, you'll need to add in more high-fat foods like avocados, nuts, full-fat dairy products, bacon, etc. Just google "low carb high fat foods".

I've been able to cut it in half by swapping my glucosamine brand with a family member's, and when it runs out I'll find an even better brand. I've seen some online with zero carbs. Thank goodness! It's very de-motivating to try to stay under 20 and have almost half of them go to your vitamins.

I hadn't been on any type of BC for many, many years before getting Mirena. When I am in fairly good health with clear skin and suddenly I'm getting : 1) multiple zits the size of quarters that don't go away for 2 weeks (only to be replaced by new ones), 2) I run my fingers through my hair and come away with 20-30 strands…

Peanut butter cap'n crunch :sad:

And how did you like Fayettenam? :tongue:

Isn't that annoying? I let people go in front of me all the time, even if I don't have a full cart (but I'm using coupons), but I swear I hardly ever get waved ahead when I just have a couple things. How many times have I been behind somebody and their cart is OVERFLOWING and I'm standing there with a loaf of bread, and…

Tell that to the Inuit. And look up " gluconeogenesis". Education. It's a wonderful thing.

OP, here is an excellent website for lowcarb recipes. http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/

I can't believe this rumor is still around. Atkins' Death On April 8, 2003, at age 72, Dr. Atkins slipped on the ice while walking to work, hitting his head and causing bleeding around his brain. He lost consciousness on the way to the hospital, where he spent two weeks in intensive care. His body deteriorated rapidly and…

I'd be the girl with too many cats!

Cigarettes are as much as $10-12 a pack on the turnpike and you still see people buying them. Government needs to back off. Surely the legislators have more important issues to deal with?!

The problem is that when we're young we think we have forever. I knew a lady, older than me, who made the comment once that she never went back to finish college because it would have taken 10 years going part-time. Of course, 10 years later she realized she could have been done by then! If I may paraphrase a couple of…

I only need to lose 5 pounds. 5 off my right arm and 5 off my left. 5 off my right butt cheek and 5 off my left... 5 off my right boob and 5 ...well maybe not off my boobs, but y'all get the idea!

I agree that there should be a limit but how would you enforce that? I have to drive 30 miles to get to my class and if I showed up and got turned away, I would never go back!

Make sure y'all check out the low-carb groups here on mfp. You won't have to filter out the folks telling you it's a bad diet. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/search?phrase=carb Anybody doing lowcarb can feel free to add me :)

Almost forgot....the Advanced instructor that substitutes for the Beginner instructor and doesn't tone it down, to the point that I'm just shuffling in place the whole time. I coulda done that in my living room for free....grr....

Oh, I HATE this! Sometimes there's tweens lined up along the wall with their legs stuck out for someone to trip over. Why can't they sit 15 feet away on the bench in the hall? And one time somebody brought their THREE YEAR OLD and actually let them participate, no less! I couldn't believe they would put their tiny child in…

I had mine taken out because I gained 40 pounds in a year! Also had painful joints, cyst acne, hair falling out, insomnia, and hair growing in weird places! Never again!!

I guess I need to go to the health food store and start reading labels.

Am I the only one who doesn't get why she is so popular? I don't see how she's any different from any of the other performers out there. I change the radio station when she comes on. I'm kinda tired of hearing about her and wish she would go away. Just my 2cents.

mfp used to be so much kinder :(

I don't understand the negativity. A lot of these are good ideas. With a list this big, there's not going to be any one person that agrees with ALL of the suggestions. That doesn't mean the list is not helpful. Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater!

I want this recipe!!

Haha, yes, you should have. What I really love is when you tell someone you're only eating fish/chicken/turkey and fruits/veggies/nuts, and getting an average of 1800 cals/day, and they say "oh congrats, that's so healthy!". And then you mention that it's about 30 carbs a day and they get all shocked and say how UN-healthy…

I paid too much for mine (and can't afford to replace 'em!) that I don't want to risk putting them in the washer or dryer. Every few weeks (or more often if they get wet/muddy) I'll swish them around in a sinkful of warm water with baby shampoo, and put them on the porch railing to dry in the sun. Also, I try to alternate…

I do Zumba and it always counts my steps.
