Protein and healthy fats will help you feel satisfied, much more than carbs. I'm trying to do less than 100 carbs per day and that helps. I'm doing Take Shape for Life and am doing well so far. I try to not eat LESS than 85 carbs but not more than 100. Some days I fail, but overall, I'm doing well. I eat every 2- 2 1/2…

Sounds like it may be pretty tasty..

In addition to the other suggestions, how about bringing an appropriately ice chest or a drawer to store/hide it in, then if someone wants something they can get it out of the ice chest but it's 'OUT OF YOUR SIGHT'!! It might not SOLVE the problem, but it might HELP! Out of sight, out of mind. At least, it would not be…

I am also doing Medifast via "Take Shape For Life" which means, I have a health coach. I started at approximately 280. So far, I've lost just under 60 lbs. I have another 80 or more to lose to reach goal. I did much better during the first few months, but I'm trying to get back on track and stay solid. While I was solid, I…

How do you post a photo?

I used to do it for fun and exercise.. it's great exercise and you don't have to have the perfect body for it either. I would always lose my coin scarf/belt because I don't have a butt! I don't do it anymore because I don't have much cartilage left in my knees and I need knee replacement, so it hurts when I do anything…

My health plan has preportioned cereal and one package of cereal and 1/2 of Silk PureAlmond Milk fits in my grandson's Spiderman bowl perfectly. That counts as one meal, and it works for that meal. I went to BigLots and purchased a handful of small plates, smaller than dinner plates but bigger than saucers. So far, so…

MY ex (before we got divorced) said, "Now that you are losing weight, guys are going to start finding you attractive and start flirting with you. Before you know it, you'll be having an affair!".. I was FLOORED!! Sometimes your Significant Other PREFERS you to be fat because THEY are insecure about THEMSELVES!

Tell them, "I can lose weight, but your ugliness goes all the way to the bone!" It's just UGLY when people treat others like that for no reason.. Do they think that it's our goal to be overweight? If it were THAT easy (like they must think) then NO ONE would be overweight!

I cannot give advice on the ham but to cut your salt elsewhere without sacrificing flavor, I use Mrs. Dash. NO sodium, NO MSG. Only healthy herbs. There are quite a few different flavors of it too.. I THINK I have them all. The Extra Spicy and the Chipolte are my favorites to add to eggs. Table Blend is good for salads,…

Maybe the extra tonic water should be club soda? I don't remember.. I just buy the bottles now.

When I do cocktails, it's SkinnyGirl drinks. http://www.skinnygirlcocktails.com/the-cocktails#content About 100 calories for a reg sized drink. My fav is the Marguarita. You can also make your own skinnygirl drink with ice, tequila, about one squeezed lime, splash with an orange liquer (float), like Triple Sec or one of…

I started to try this recipe once, but as I was chopping the cauliflower, I tossed some of the bits into my mouth and discovered that I REALLY liked it raw the best! Since then, I've been addicted to raw cauliflower.. and I never really liked cauliflower before!! My taste buds have really changed since cutting out all the…

Congratulations on reaching One-derland! Anyway, I'm so happy that you have met that goal and applaud your accomplishment!! Hopefully, I'll be there soon myself! Gloria

I agree with gerripho.. It's more positive to say I've already lost 56 lbs than to say, I need still need to lose 80 lbs... The other will overpower me with doubt that I could accomplish it, whereas the already lost is a positive statement of an accomplishmet! When I tell people that I've lost nearly 60 lbs, that's a good…

I agree with Adam Sandler in the Wedding movie.. I liked him in 50 first dates too.. but usually he leaves me wondering why others find him funny.. lol

Quite a few of the previous named.... I'm up to page 7 and have not seen this name yet. Don Rickles..I just find offensive. His humor is just insulting and hurtful to whoever is the butt of his jokes.

Get a turkey, cook it, and divide it into meal sized portions, whatever sized portions are on your plan.. 3 oz, or 6 oz, or whatever.. Wrap them tightly in some seran/plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn, and then in bigger ziplocks. Freeze them, then take them out to thaw as you need them. Given the price drop during the…

Here's my fitbit link.. http://www.fitbit.com/user/24837G Please add me.. I could use the support. I was adding some of you guys but I'll let you add me.. was taking too much time.. lol Gloria

I'm new to Fitbit (got one for my birthday a couple of weeks ago), and still learning all the stuff it can do.. I have sleep apnea so it shows me how often I wake up or if I even did wake up during the night. I wear it all the time clipped to my bra except when sleeping at which time it's in the wrist band. I JUST learned…

If you add your own homemade broth with some Asian Market noodles (healthier ones) and lots of healthy veggies and a bit of lean protein, leaving out the flavoring packet of course, then it can be healthy. You hardly ever see a FAT asian if they are eating their own cooking. I don't know any Asians that do the Ramen…

So what is 30DS and R130?

Thanks, everyone, for the birthday wishes. I stayed on plan yesterday pretty good.. no cake and ice cream.. although my grandkids want me to come and celebrate my birthday with them on Saturday.. If I do partake, it will be ONE BITE of cake and ONE BITE of ice cream. I've already got them trained on that since my weight…

I want to know how you got rid of the excess skin.. I don't see any excess skin!! Congrats and Happy Birthday.. It's my birthday today too! (Although I am 61, not 43)..

I've read that if you take plenty of Omega 's and perhaps Omega 6's, then it will enable your skin to get it's elasticity back. I have a frind who was the director for the Zone Diet and he used to have plastic surgeons refer people to him to lose the weight, then they would go back to the doctor for the skin removal…

OR... if you need the crunch in your shake, add some crushed ice and don't blend it all away.. leave some crushed ice to crunch on.. That's what I do when I need some crunch in my shake.

Get some sugar free maple syrup.. then you don't pile on the calories..

I have a sister who has been able to eat anything all her life, and she did not exercise either. I was just the opposite after my baby, I had a hard time losing, although I have been successfully thin several times in my life... My sister had to eat to gain weight, as sometimes she looked just like a skeleton. she would…

I don't have any advice to give as I am a long way from goal weight.. I'd be interested in learning how you do as you progress from weight loss, to transition, to maintenence.. Keep us informed... I'm sure that I will have those same fears when I am approaching my own goal. Gloria

My health coach says our cravings are usually caused by dehydration.
