I saw that website a while back. I'm on synthroid but supposedly I am on the right dose so I don't know how much that affects things. But for the last 3 weeks I was in a plateau cycling over the same 1.5 pound weight range. So I decided to try some zig-zagging starting about 10 days ago. Just some random days with higher…

NOT getting fast food any more. Oh, except for Chinese takeout. :P

Whoa, you've already got 10 pages, but I'll add: The Pillars of the Earth, by Ken Follett Historical fiction. His writing style and the fascinating characters made me love this book. And there's a sequel: World Without End, which features the descendants of the main characters. Lately, Fall of Giants, another historical…

There is a physical therapy/smart exercise place here that I am doing a program at, that my doctor told me about. They have a machine where you wear a mask and it measures your oxygen and CO2 levels (during rest and during exercise) and figures out your metabolic rate, at what heart rate you are burning fat and at what HR…

You can go into Settings, News Feed and uncheck the relevant box so it won't post that on your wall in the first place. :)

Happy Birthday!

(edit: I meant Lisseth, not AJ) Lisseth , I think people CAN read posts without being in the group. I've read posts in groups that I didn't join to see if I was interested. I'm 55, like some other posted, I was also thin in childhood through early 20's and gradually put on weight over the years. It's nice to see so many…

Hey, I have similar stats, even a similar icon! Anyone here feel free to add me! Maybe we should set up a Group "170 to 130" SW: 169 GW: 135 (not quite sure about that yet) CW: 160 I've been stuck at 160-161 for 2-3 weeks now. I've just started doing some calorie zig-zagging to try and break the plateau.

It's called "white coat syndrome" and is well-known. I haven't heard of a doctor who isn't aware of it! I would say now that you've proven your monitor is accurate, show her your log of readings, and ask to have the nurse take another reading after you have sat and relaxed a while after being taken to the exam room. Let's…

BP is the main motivator for me to lose weight/get in shape. I haven't lost much weight so far and that didn't lower my BP, but after starting a more intense exercise program 3 weeks ago, I just lowered my dose from 40mg lisinopril to 20mg. It seems to be doing the job fairly well, normal or slightly above normal.…

Amazon offers lots of free Kindle books, including cookbooks. The books are usually only free for limited times, so you should check often to see what is available that day. Try these links for cookbooks: http://amzn.to/kindlecooking http://amzn.to/kindlecook http://amzn.to/kindlefood Be careful though, because books that…

I looked through the posts preceding the one where you said there was a lot of bashing. I don't find any bashing, or ridiculing. Maybe you were offended that some non-believers were so bold as to state their status, but none of them made fun of or put down faith. You weren't able to quote one--"so much bashing" sounds like…

I haven't seen any bashing of believers at all. Where did you see bashing? ?That doesn't make sense. It takes faith to believe in God and it takes no faith not to believe.

I had this pretty bad about 10 years ago and tried all the typical things to no avail, but what finally worked fpr me was a thing they gave me made of straps and velcro that I put on my feet where you bend your foot back, pull up on straps that support your arch and velcro them to the sides of the part that goes around the…

That article is ridiculous. They weren't even testing "organic people" (i.e. people who eat organic food): So they were comparing groups of people who looked at different sets of pictures. Then the results were not even very different between the groups: This type of article is called "Click Bait". It's meaningless drivel.

Hi, feel free to add me. I'm 5'4", SW = 169 CW = 161 GW = 135 (I guess) I'm eating about 1200-1400, going for the "nutritarian" eating style (lots of veggies and minimizing processed stuff). Good luck in your efforts!

I don't know for sure about smoothies, but with juices a lot depends on the type of juicer. The centrifugal juicers heat things up from the spinning and also introduce a lot of air into the juice, both of which speed loss of nutrients. the masticating type crush the veggies, don't heat them up and don't introduce as much…

You didn't say how much sodium you are eating a day. Better to read some scientific advice rather than go by people's opinions in a forum: http://www.cdc.gov/Features/dsSodium/ http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/sodium/NU00284

Bump!

^This is me too. I haven't even added any friends yet, so I'll send you a request if I can figure out how to do it!

I guess it could be some kind of medical condition where peristalsis of the intestines is not happening correctly.

So the consensus seems to be: Drink plenty of water, eat plenty of fruits and veggies. Shannon, can you try that for say, a month, and let us know if it helps? :drinker:

Maybe they can work it out with pencil and paper. ba-da-bing.

Wait, what?

Uh-oh, LOL!

Whoa, no veggies? You need to eat a lot of green leafy vegetables and fruits, for one thing! try that!

Very reasonable, balanced, and ethical attitude.
