lol thats what i said. i said the weight she will gain is the water weight that comes along with being IN ketosis. when she comes OUT of ketosis, the water comes back. water binds to glycogen. when you are in ketosis, you have depleted glycogen stores, and therefore, you are not hauling around excess water either.

The only weight you are going to gain back is the water weight that comes along with being in ketosis, which is probably only about 3 or 4 pounds and it's only water. You'd gain that back anyways, no matter how long you did Atkins or any low carb diet because glycogen molecules bond with water molecules. When you go into…

I've got a better idea than Slimfast...... Get yourself a Magic Bullet blender (if you don't already have one, lol. I got one during my MediFast days and LOVE it...its portable, so I can bring it to work! No excuses!!) Then, get you some good food to throw in it. Maybe even a protein powder if you are concerned with…

We need an after pic with you SMILING! *wolf whistle*

Lots of us! There is even a cycling thread. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/114945-mfp-cycling-club

ooh i have another one...... steel cut oatmeal. (also called Irish Oatmeal) MMMM!!!!! Higher in protein than rolled oats and tastes so much better. Totally different consistency than rolled oats oatmeal too. I make mine with agave nectar to sweeten, and toss in some chopped nuts and sometimes, if im feeling dangerous, i…

Tough love. People who coddle me do so with chocolates and other crap I'm not supposed to be eating. I don't want someone to tell me its ok if I slipped up. No, its NOT ok if I slip up. Once I slip up, I don't get back on my feet for weeks. I'm smart enough to know this and anyone close enough to me to have an opinion that…

I have found that adding nuts to my day helps. A few tablespoons of roasted walnuts supplies me with protein and healthy fats, bumps my calories up closer to where I need to be, and burns slowly so I'm not feeling deprived. I just have to be sure to measure out the proper portion and put the container away because I could…

No disrespect to Babbs, but I totlally agree with this statement. I LOVED medifast when I was on it. Hell, I was one of their health coaches and took a LOT of people from my photography forum under my wing. I almost feel bad for misleading them, but I was so high on the success I thought I was having that I just wanted to…

heh, you guys think you got it bad on Halloween? Halloween is my BIRTHDAY. :noway: LOL i dont even want to think about how i plan to make it through without gorging :-O

lol Sue, you know me in real life....verify I'd have sought the revenge I described below.... mwah hahahahaha

Good grief. 8 miles! LOL Ya know, I can ride my bike 100 miles (seriously), but damn if I can't run more than 5k. whats up with that? lol

ps, please be sure to thank him for me. your family's sacrifice is much appreciated. i have nothing but respect for you :heart: Your profile pic makes me :cry:

Its easy for me because I don't restrict my macro nutrients to ridiculous points. Eating a well balanced meal with appropriate amounts of carbs, protein, and healthy fats means you get to eat like a normal person, not someone who only eats a limited variety of stuff to avoid going over in one area or another. You could…

LOL thanks Kminor! I'm just baffled. Why on earth would the woman be majorly offended? I'd be tempted to find out about her own dietary restrictions or dislikes, then make a special dish consisting of nothing but stuff she either can't eat due to health reasons or finds absolutely disgusting, push it on her, and the act…

gosh, i googled it and got nothing. where did you hear or see it? LOL im perplexed!

apples ALWAYS make me hungrier than i was before i ate it. Even when I was a kid and not a tubby. I dont know why they do that, but they do.

wtf? lol

Do it! My trainer came down from NYC. He's trained professional athletes, pop stars, you name it. Check out this video of him working out here in the gym at work. Dude is hardcore :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuarqlkQfg0

http://www.hulu.com/watch/143264/saturday-night-live-shake-weight-dvd LMAO!!!

lol Nichole....."Pink tank top. She's in on it! Oh ya, she's in!" :laugh:

Gimmick. Spend the $20 on a cheap set of hand weights and do the routine my trainer lovingly calls Madonna Arms. I tell him Madonna has some freakish arms and he might want to change the name... LOL I don't think those are the arms he had in mind..... At any rate.... the routine is simply: Grab some hand weights. Lift your…

My dad always said dont let someone else's problem become your own. Sounds like your coworker has an issue. It's not your problem. Why does she have to assume there is something wrong with her cooking? What are you supposed to be? Her personal food consumer? It's rude to expect people to eat food you shove in their face…

nothing's going on :) go drink some water and have a snack in about half an hour. :D We're actually supposed to be hungry every couple hours so we give ourselves more fuel. Unfortunately, we're not used to that, because we are accustomed to way over eating. Small meals, several times a day. :D

LOL @ vineas! I was talking about MF in my last post. :) Last I had been over to that forum, the big meanies had been run off, supposedly, but who knows. When I was still actively on the program, they all supposedly left back then too, but they were really just posting under new user names and it was so blatantly obvious…

LOL Here's the thing about the plan I was on, and this might sound mean but it's really a tale of just deserts... They had an AWESOME online community for support, but there was a group of people who claimed to be 100% on plan, 100% of the time and they were really mean and nasty to anyone who posted about cheating or…

"I could see this plan as a quick fix, but not a lifestyle change. " And that's how they get you. They say oh, it's just during the weight loss phase that you consume our high priced disgusting little bags of chemicals. Then after you lose the weight, we wean you off our stuff and onto real food and viola, you've got a…

Please save the money you'd have spent on those products and use it to purchase some nice equipment to work out at home, a gym membership, or use it to justify the expense of eating more expensive, more nutritious whole foods instead. Optifast is similar to MediFast, which is a program I was on. There is nothing normal…

i do, because exercise is the only thing that makes the cramps go away. yay for being a girl....

LMAO, I'm new to this site this as of this week and even I know that this diet is a hot topic. LOLOL!
