TOM: Time of the month AKA mother nature AKA a woman's dreaded time AKA period. Drink green tea girl...it work wonders!

You described my boyfriend too LOL. 34 years old two donuts & coffee every morning. Burger King & Wendy's is a regular staple in his diet...as is is ellios pizza/pizz hut/dominos. Oh and he LOVES hostess & reece peanut butter cups. & he's got abs (oh yum) His cholesterol is in the 170s too! But his triglycerides are…

It's a matter of how your body responds to it. I say try it out for....2-3 weeks or so. See if your weight loss stalls, accelerates or remains the same. What works for one person's body, may not work for yours :) Keep mindful of if you feel hungrier, fuller, more energetic...any changes that could result from this.…

It's walk/run 50 miles....and BURN 7,000 calories. Right?
-
Yes its directly associated with what you search for in your food database or add into your diary. For instance I add dunkin donuts coffee to my diary and get the big and tasty ads as well. I added Cabot sharp cheddar snacks, now I've had those adds as well. A free site like this will sell SOME information (such as our…

GREAT JOB!!! I'm still learning to say 'no'...I crossed my fingers when my co-worker got french fries with her lunch. She usually offers me some and I never say no. Thank goodness she was preoccupied today & didn't. ANYWAYS CONGRATS! :happy:
-
log it under cardiovascular by searching for "strength training" or "weight lifting" it's very general but it will at least get some calories logged in

Def Pure Protein..I love pure protein revolution peanut butter caramel (it's like a snickers bar). I do like Met-Rx as an occasional meal replacement. I absolutely LOVE Doctor's Carbrite protein bars. They can be a bit difficult to find but are amazing. Under 200 calories a bar, Net between 0-2.5 net carbs and taste…

Agreed, unless you are hungry dont bother. You spend a chunk of your day asleep so you calorie needs arent as great to begin with.

Your daughter, as well as you and the rest of your family will be in my prayers!!!

Def Boca and Morningstar products. Tofu is good too if you're into cooking. For a quick protein fix, try greek yogurt...Chobani plain non-fat yogurt packs in 18 g protein and only 100 calories.
-
oatmeal (plain, instant, old fashioned, etc etc. greek yogurt oatmeal protein bars (pure protein, dr.'s carbrite, herbalife, met-rx) oatmeal oatmeal oatmeal there are days that my diet consists of purely oatmeal, yogurt & protein bars....is it perfect? Nope, but it keeps me satisfied and it's more because I'm a broke…
-
I LOVE their oatmeal...granted its 290 calories with all the trimmings but skip the brown sugar and light cream and you cut 40 calories or so...you're left with straight oatmeal, apples and a mix of raisins. Not bad...and it's fairly filling. I vote for their oatmeal any day
-
I LOVE LOVE Chilis Caribbean Shrimp Salad...& I always get the dressing on the side. Which saves a ton of sodium and about 200 calories. If anything I might dip one or two bites of the salad in there
-
I've been on that road before....and honesty sometimes I step back on it. It's got a lot to do with a FEAR of feeling DEPRIVED. We say "okay one last day of whatever I WANT"...it's a way of filling in something that's missing. The goal is to identify what that need really is...what need are we substituting by compensating…
-
Awesome, love your motivation. Best of success on your journey!
-
I've tried clean eating...I personally can't do it. I feel too deprived. I wont sit and have pizza everyday and expect to be healthy...but if once in a blue mood I crave a slice and dont feel like making my own healthy version...yes, I will go and grab a slice. I do my best to substitute my favorite "naughty" food with…
-
I think The Special K diet leaves something to be desired...like nutrients. I love their products. I like to mix in a cup of their cereal as a snack...their snack & meal bars are tasty and if Im lacking calories & dont want to make a trip to GNC for a protein shake...I'll have their shakes.
-
I go with 60 calories for a cup of whole blackberries.
-
CONGRATS! That's amazing!
-
Sodium...something I watch like a HAWK. I struggle with chronic edema (mid-internal & vertical)...meaning if i go over what my doc recommends (and he's got it figured out pretttty well, I try to take in 1/2 -2/3 of an average persons sodium MAX) I swell up terribly. My sodium problem has beaten up my kidneys & taken a…

Monday March 7th WOULD have been 2 weeks, but I had a terrible day today. But tomorrow will be day 1. Tomorrow WILL be day 1. NOT another day of binging. :(
-
I'd love to join....I'm 1 week binge free! My binges don't consist of just one huge meal...more like full blown full day pig outs. My last binge was Monday Feb. 28....I logged every calorie I ate....grand total was 7,023 calories through out the day. Which is high even for me...usually it's a "mere" 3,500 - 5,500 calories.…

This sounds heavenly. I must try! THANK YOU
-
I had mac & cheese, baked ziti and avocado dip...two platefulls! 3 strong alcoholic drinks....and a small piece of cake...and a small brownie. I went WAY over...but that night I went to bed slightly drunk & happy as heck. This morning I woke up, shrugged it off because we all have cheat days (and it WAS superbowl sunday)…

Sugar Alcohol is NOT sugar. From my understanding (I was in the dark about this for a while too) sugar alcohols do not impact your blood sugar levels (thats why they are great for most diabetics) and are very low calorie. They count as carbs for a reason I dont truly understand but I look at it as neutral carb since it's…

I have ALWAYS had problems. Between IBS and chronic constipation my nutritionist advised me to start my day with a cup of java (NO milk & maybe one splenda if I can't take the bitter taste that particular morning). Start off by sipping it & once it gets warm enough, drink it down. This did the trick but on some mornings it…
-
Congrats on planning! Its a great way to stave off a night of mindless-caloric-drinking. Stick with CLEAR liquors....vodka (flavored or not) and etc. I prefer vodka & diet. Its a bit harsh and I always get a strange look from bartenders but it's not only low-calorie (64-100...depending on how much the bartender serves up)…
-
http://www.carbritediet.com/store/html/product.cfm?id=26 Yes...its 'diet' food, but by far the best tasting low-carb, high-protein stuff Ive had (besides pure protein revolution bars). The link is to smoothies, but with less powder they have a liquid consistency.

Instant soups from an Eastern European store (very low sodium & low calorie) Instant oatmeal packets 1/2 cup servings of 1-minute oatmeal Special K bar Doctor's Carbrite bars and in the work fridge I keep... Muscle milk, Atkin's shakes or GNC lean Muscle meal tons of water coke zero greek yogurt
