I asked the nurse on my follow-up visit about the quantity of food. She said everyone was different and all they told anyone was don't eat more than 30 carbs per day. So a 1/2 cup is max. Thank you. I couldn't find anything in my notes about stomach capacity.

Thanks for the replies. I wondered if this was dangerous or would just be overfilling. I was having pain low in my abdomen today and thought I may have drunk water too soon after eating.

Well the chicken was larger than the size of my palm, the campbells cream of mushroom soup was not low cal, huge amount of t-greens/turnips and califlower. I haven't been loosing as fast as I would like and wondered if I was eating too much at dinner instead of a larger lunch? Maybe my portion sizes were too large no…

My new favorite is Smoked Sockeye Salmon with Rutherford & Meyer Waferbites. They are really Really small wafers, like something you would get in church for the Lord's supper. You can heat 15 wafters for 1g fat, 43 calories and 6 carbs. There are a large variety of of smoked salmon flavors and they ususally sale them in 4…

Great work!! You look like you have made some progress toward total success. Keep it going!! :flowerforyou:

Coconut Fudge Melt and mix together 1 cup each of coconut oil and low sugar dark chocolate chips and divide equally into a plastic ice cube tray and place in freezer ( I have old metal trays). In a 16 cube tray, each cube will equal 1 tablespoon coconut oil. I have been using Coconut Oil for awhile. Makes my skin so soft…

It is nice when people start to notice. WTG :flowerforyou:

I have been doing 30DS since April. I alternate between Level 1, 2 and 3 now. I purchased a heart monitor a couple of weeks ago. I am trying to increase the number of calories I burn per day. I have found that I burn more calories on Level 2 than I do on level 3. I do the 30DS and then Pilates for Dummies for a total of…

I will try to find it on Youtube. Thanks. I have so much trouble with my feet from years of walking on concrete that just about anything is worth a try. I have some good running shoes but static lunges sometimes hurt my feet. And a word on protein drinks, my husband has been ill and has dropped too much weight. He is…

Ahhh, I'm in the states and it won't let me watch but it said I could listen on some player. I am thinking about buying some KSO/toe shoes/barefoot shoes. I was wondering what the truth was in these. Thanks!

You look great. I have been on since April 2012. I am impatient and inconsistant. I hope to keep MFP in my life forever (because I have been doing good) instead of the yo-yo lifestyle I have been leading. Thanks for the Inspiration. :flowerforyou:

LOL.........just thought......Pilates for Dummies was the right DVD for me afterall. :blushing:

:sick: Well, I just put in my new Pilates DVD....."the Reformer" series. I didn't know a Reformer was a machine. Now I have the DVD and no machine. Looked it up.........looks good. Bet I would love it. Picked one out $899.00. Damn.....should have bought the mat workout.

I really like Pilates. It really works your core where I can tell a difference day by day when I really stick to it. I have owned Pilates for dummies. I've been doing that DVD for years off and on. I had a new one delivered today that I will try in the morning. Classic Pilates Technique, Complete Universal Reformer Series.…

Looking good! WTG :drinker:

2nd Day of L3 30DS. The Sumo squats kill me. Must be something I really need. Old style sit-ups. One day I will do them without assistance holding my feet. Feeling good! Stopped smoking AGAIN today. :glasses: Wish me luck. Good luck to you all.

I started 4/16 and did the 30 day shred challenge most of May. First few days my legs and arms were killing me. I could not do all the jumping jacks. Stuck to it everyday for at least 15 days. Then went out of town for 3, went camping another weekend. Then my sister started working out with me so I went back to level one.…

WTG.........you look great. Very happy for you!

30ds L2. A few more days on L2 for me. Maybe L3 on Monday if I don't phone it in over the weekend. I will be in a swimsuit for the 1st time this year this weekend so I will probably have a lot of motivation next week. I hope to burn a lot of calories in the water. Hopefully won't cancel it out with the alcohol. :laugh:

Done. Feeling good. People are starting to notice my weight loss. 3 people commented this week. Wahoo! It feels good because I don't feel like they should be able to tell. I think this makes more of an impact that what the scales say and what my tape measure says. :happy:

30DS Level 2 Day 4.....getting better. Feeling good. Tuesdays are so much better than Mondays. :happy:

Done it but my heart wasn't in it. Putting on a swimsuit this weekend though and that kept me going. Keep it going. :happy:

Worked out extra hard this morning because I have been a slacker for a week also went out with the family yesterday had a great time. Penne with vodka, garlic bread and wine. I didn't eat it all so that was a good thing. Dang, I just remembered the bean soup appetizer, got to log that. My sister worked out with me this…

I missed 5 days of exercise. Went out of town, worked the early shift, family came to town. The only good thing I did was stick close to my diet and lost another pound and half. Wahoo. My 30DS disk quick working. Now doing Level 1 Day 1 30 day Ripped this morning. :sad: Sweating like a dog. Feeling good. Didn't look…

WTG - you can do it!! I like to see your smiling face posted first thing in the morn. I have to work the early shift this week for 3 days. Family came to town. Should have worked out last night but didn't. Tomorrow my life will be back to normal. I will get back to it.

Went out of town for 3 days. No exercise except walking. Eating bad stuff plus beer. :drinker: Had a wonderful time!! I have missed 3 days out of 14. I have to go into work early this week. Messing up my scheduled morning workouts. I will be working out at night. New swimsuits delivered while I was gone. :noway:

30DS Level 2 Day 2..........wohoo.....I could really feel the difference in my shoulders this morning. Level 2 is feels more intense with the Cardio. I don't feel like I am getting much ab work. My form is not good. I do believe the knee circles on level one did me some good, so I continue those. I am feeling good about…

3 or 4 days. The first few were really bad in legs and arms. I started level two today (11 days). Don't feel too bad anymore. Several days I couldn't finish the jump rope or jump jacks. I still hate jump rope but I can do all jump jacks. Hang in there.

30DS Level 2 Day1. Did it, not strong but lasted. Stronger tomorrow!! This looks like me breathing and sweating.:sad:
