good luck al!! I have a preference for the applesauce over diced, because i think it permeates the oatmeal better. now if you wanted to try BOTH that might be something amazing!

Do you know your LBM? that's probably the best scenario - the 'most accurate' calorie calculator on scoobie's site. General calculations are really hard to get right for EVERY person, because everyone is a little different in terms of their metabolism - even if all things are equal. ETA - if I would get off my butt more…

Bump -- anyone try this? :)

Hunger is not directly related to being FAT. :noway: Eh. There are some very simple facts there that you are overlooking. I've been doing some self-exploring and experimenting lately, and discovering some VERY basic facts. Actually, so basic, that I'm almost embarrassed to admit I am only learning this at my age. You can…

I have finally figured out this whole Diet thing after so many years - Light bulb! * you don't have to be perfect, you can take days off, you can 'diet' for 3 weeks, and take a week off. You can live life - when you get to the goal is not as important as getting there. For me, this has been extremely liberating and I feel…

YES you are!

absolutely true. I don't know what percentage of people it happens too. I was doing some research and happened across a couple of sources that pointed to Stevia being used in the tribal areas as a form of birth control. is it true? no idea. Usually rumors have SOME bit of fact in them, and I figured it wouldn't hurt to…

Loved it, but had to stop it. It completely stopped My cycles - and the wife of a friend also had issues where it threw her off her normal day count on her cycles. both of of us stopped it, and My cycle came back in less than 9 days, and hers went back to normal almost immediately. Mine were messed up for 4 months - I…

My husband was also diagnosed with Non Hodgkins - 6 years ago. He was a HEAVY diet pop drinker. there was a lump in his neck, he had to go through Chemo and Radiation. All seems fine now - so there is hope - just to help you see that. I can help with some ideas on how to handle radiation burns if you need to deal with…

LOL! So the title IS a bit.. open to interpretation - I get it - HOWEVER - In my defense, this IS the food and nutrition board... :bigsmile: :laugh:

see if I can get this to post :)

AWESOME!! GREAT JOB!! :) Your success is very inspiring - keep up the great work! and GOOD LUCK on the next audition! :)

. You would be surprised. I try to confirm most new adds before doing so by Googling nutrition info and trying to get from the manufacturer or a reliable site. I bet the 240 was prepared not mix only. People either don't read labels right, or they enter something for their convenience and not necessarily accuracy. Good…

You can add me - I need to lose another 50-80 (not sure exactly - but will know when i get there!)

7 Human HEADS! or. a 5000 BTU air conditioner

Just wanted to mention, that 110 for the mix alone isn't terrible - considering if you were adding a can of pumpkin, you're only talking about less than 10 calories per serving that it would add - for 24 servings. Still 120 to 90 is not a huge variance in calories I think.. considering.

not sure this is going to show up very big - but here goes: super moist deluxe Duncan Hines cake mix is 190 cals each with 12 servings per box = 2280 can of pumpkin = 200 total is 2280---- divide by 12 and you get 206, BUT, usually you don't get 12 cupcakes - you get 24. 24 NORMAL size cupcakes, not MUFFINS - Muffin tins…

Oh really? Do tell :) Are you referring to THIS specific thread??

I have mixed emotions about this post. From the flip side, I had my first child at 39 - my mother's health, regardless of her age, has been touch and go. She has severe health issues, which have impacted her ability to be involved in my Daughters life. She IS involved, and more so than probably some parents, but her…

Yikes!!!

I think the point is that if you don't change your eating habits, when you DO reach your goal, it's going to be much more likely you will put the weight back on. Just eating less junk will result in weight loss, sure, but, at some point your going to want to go off a calorie deficit - if you do so and still are used to…

Dealing a bit with the same. I think it's our dimented coping mechanism - we eat to fill the void of whatever is missing in our lives. Right now, mine is security - I'm having some medical testing on monday, and it has me freaked out - (I just posted similar story a few minutes ago).. I wonder how the thin people deal - or…

Thanks everyone! I LOVE being a mom. I personally would give up retirement (or whatever glory that might entail) to have the blessing of another child. is it challenging? YES. Exhausting? YES Fulfilling? YEEESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! my heart could handle another one - and I'm dealing with a challenging 4 year old at the moment,…

Pb2, banana on a low Cal pita (about 240 Cal's and have used this for snacks and meals). Almonds, apples, I make a killer pizza with sausage, real cheese, and crust. For about 430 Cal's... so filling I could stop at half but it tastes so good and sinful I eat it all! Actually I have quite a few staples but have been doing…

ETA - I didn't read the Original post well apparently :) here's a typical day for me: Breakfast: Eggs and sausage (egg whites/turkey sausage) Snack (fruit - optional - with a high protein breakfast, i usually don't get too hungry before lunch) Lunch: varies - generally a sandwich of some sort - sometimes a half pound of…

You can Add me - I was in your boat back in march. No will power, and practically had Given up. (though I had 100 more lbs to lose than you! :) ) I found my motivation. I figured it out - I can give you some ideas that will help get you motivated again - I was there. I know the feeling. Tina

^^This - double time. If you control 80% of his food choices, if nothing else, it will be hard for him to gain more weight. If he starts in a sport of some kind, that will help. Focus on Fruit for dessert, and even for snacks. Everytime I eat an apple, I am happy - I love how sweet and crunchy they are. No, I am not lying…

I would say no. I'm not so sure colon cleansers are what they claim to be - though that's my opinion. Spend a day eating oatmeal, apples, and toss back some black coffee - prunes if you want too. You won't have to worry about colon cleansing then :) if you're looking to push the scale results, eh, well, I'm not so sure if…
