Thanks for the info from those on Atkins:happy: I believe Hot Dogs to be trash food. In MY DEFENSE I have read several Atkins books before ever thinking of doing the diet. Hubby has been on it successfully for years. I wanted to learn how to cook for him. Try reading page 72 of the Atkins Shopping Guide The Companion to…

Thanks all for your input but for now I am sticking with Atkins to see if it works. I bought Ketone strips yesterday says I am losing. I am now at 4lbs lost.

Also wanted to mention it is great advice to eat every 3-4hrs. My work does not allow me to do so. I even brought in a doc note and they will only give me a 1/2 hr break when it gets slow. I often work more than 5 or 6 hrs before gettting a break. I am also not allowed to drink on the sales floor. I can and do TRY to step…

EXCERPT taken from Atkins book:Thus, if lower amounts of carbohydrates are consumed, the body naturally produces less insulin and looks to other sources for fuel, namely FAT! For this reason, the Atkins diet restricts processed and refined carbohydrates and limits intake to 15-60 grams per day, encouraging protein and fat…

Thanks Coach! As for my title "Bad Karma" just referring to my life. It's always something with me. Anything that can go wrong always does for me. Everyone tells me they would not want to be me for a day because of my horrible luck. So the title referred to "just my luck" that I would find the 1 place to work that has no…

just my luck..........lol thanks anyway. As I said I am not about to report anyone I just started this job. I like the job just think the policy is weird. Also don't see how I am going to be able to lose weight like this??? I have only 2 days off per week so I can only eat correctly on those 2 days I guess? As for the…

You are all right it is against the law. Unfortunately I really need the job and cannot afford to get fired. I did explain to my boss that I am on a special diet and need to eat every 3-4 hrs. He said well there are NO 15 minute breaks here, but since I let the smokers go have a cigarette for 2 minutes. You are welcome to…

I admit that I do not take a multi vitamin or any other kind. I tried just about every kind there are and for some reason they all make me throw up. I even tried the centrum chewables and ewwwwwwwww made me gag too. I then went to the Flinstones gummy vites which were fine and didn't make me sick except they are for kids…

I fight my daughter for mine all the time. Wish they would make it so you could do a Wii party and workout together. But it is very difficult.

The ORIGINAL WATER HATER here. I find it very hard to drink any. I force myself and come as close to 8 as I can.

Thanks for the tip! I will definitely try that. Btw I hate your name cuz it sounds like I am calling you a Porker. Not nice.:grumble:

Luv Luv Luv Mine. I would get rid of hubby before my Wii Fit. :glasses: Great workout

I tried this a few months back didn't work for me, not sure why it made perfect sense:noway:

This is what the doc had to say when I posed the below questions to him David A. Sabgir, MD Dr. David Andrew Sabgir, a board-certified cardiologist, founded the "Just Walk! A Walk With a Doc" program in Lewis Center, Ohio. Dr. Sabgir’s seven pillars of good health—exercise, nutrition, family, friends, education, humor, and…

Bada Bump:blushing: :blushing:

I can't do Atkins or Low Carb like South Beach either. Mostly because I do NOT love vegetables and do love fruit. I was on South Beach and hated it with 6 cups of veggies at a sitting. Yuck! Maybe the thing for you to do is NOT to diet. Maybe you can just cut back on the No No's and up the exercise. Perhaps that will help.

I am trying to take notice to what presents eating issues for me. One problem is that I regularly wake up each day before 6AM.and go to bed by 10PM At breakfast I am FAMISHED. A bowl of cereal and fruit just don't really cut it. I usually need something that sticks to ribs like cream of wheat and scrambled eggs with fruit…

I want to make my own cookbook ........was thinking I could use the Blog that is available on here.My problem is that I would want pics or photos of the completed recipe. I have tried over and over to get this to work on the blog but cannot get pics to copy in the body of my blog. Any ideas??? I would love suggestions from…

I am a true soda addict! I luvvvvvvvvvv Coke (the kind in a can):noway: I WISH I could drink the small little 8oz cans but they come in a pack and I drink em all EVERYTIME:sick: and hate myself for it. I know my limit I cannot be trusted. It is just like cigarettes were.......if I could just smoke occassionally I would…

This drives me crazy.......it don't take much these days:ohwell: How come different sites give me different numbers for my BMR. I enter in the same info???? On MFPwhich does not take into account my activity level I am afforded 1244. I have also entered it into freedieting.com which asks how active you are etc. etc and…

Also give calorieking.com a try they are very accurate........even tell you how much exercise and what type you need to do to ERASE what you ate:wink: Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Food Diary

I have a few suggestions........hope you don't mind:wink: 1.Buy the leanest ground beef you can find 2. Add 1 envelope of Onion Soup mix (dry) That's it! It makes yummo hamburger patties or yummo meatloaf and it is EZ! 193 calories for 4oz. portion 30 calories for 1 envelope of Onion Mix ORRRRR 1. Buy the leanest ground…

Great question.......... I was actually wondering something similar too. I dunno if anyone saw The Adventures of New Christine but she was taking Protein (whey powder) and got a fat *kitten* from it. Any truth to this? Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Food Diary

I had a mini bagel (whole wheat) 1 medium egg scrambled (on the bagel) 1/2 an orange 8oz of Crystal Light Sugar Free lemonade 1 cup of whole grain brown rice

Are the servings on the labels of food correct? I mean if it says on a box of rice that 1 cup = a serving is that true or could I be eating larger portions that needed?

I am 41 TODAY in fact.:tongue: Anyway I am 41 female and 5ft. and weigh a WHOPPING 145lbs. I used to be very active before I married my current hubby who does not believe much in fitness. Anyway I am SICK of HATING :explode: the woman in the mirror (whom I do not recognize). My questions are: 1. At this time I AM NOT VERY…

I opted for scrambled eggs (looked to be about 2) I subsituted the potatoes for a small bowl of melon chunks (cantelope and honeydew) and for toast I had whole wheat toast which was a VERY large piece of toast so I cut it in half and had a few sips of unsweetened ice tea that I sweetened with Splenda. Happy Mothers Day…

I am always looking for someone to share the pain:grumble: of my workouts. My friends choose not to workout. I love to bowl (even though I suck) if anyone wants to do that for some exercise. I also like walking too. I can't run or jog due to weak ankles. If anyone is in my area. Maybe we could get some fitness time in.
