This seems to be the critical component. The article says you start the program this way "The BWP allows you to pick your current weight, a target weight, and your time frame for losing weight." It seems a lot more confusing the way this article is explaining it vs. how you have explained it.

Deceptively Delicious is her cook book. I have had a handful of them and they are pretty good.

^^This It is purely psychological for me. Although my trainer was reviewing my food logs weekly when I first started working with him, and I was always 100% honest. IDK why, but on this site I have to keep it closed.

I own both. I use my Wii every single day, but not for fitness. If all I was doing was gauging how much I use them fitness wise, I would say the treadmill. I only use the treadmill in the severe winter months. I do occasionally use my Wii to stream YouTube yoga videos. So...I'd pick the Wii.

Is it the thickness of the container? My beehive shaped honey is thicker than my honey bear. The honey bear crystallizes when the temperature of my cupboards change.

Do you understand the difference between a behavioral addiction and a chemical addiction? My ex-husband is addicted to shopping. He drove us to the brink of bankruptcy several times, would hide his purchases, had anxiety if he could not shop, he has a scar on his arm from donating blood so he could afford to buy things. We…

Some of this you can't really change though. I have really muscular calves. Is it exacerbated by running? Possibly. I would literally have to not use my legs to make them smaller than a certain point, meaning sitting around and moving them as little as possible. I know this because I spent six months in a cast. My right…

So are you looking for suggestions on how to make these things taste better, so you can eat them? The way your original post is worded is confusing.

Alternative in what way? Like is there a meat substitute for broccoli in the way that there is a vegetable substitute for meat? No, there isn't that I am aware of. You can take a multivitamin if you are concerned about nutrients.

Sometimes they can be finicky. These are all dishes that my kids eat, but my son will eat just about anything if you put marinara sauce over it.

I wasn't thinking about soups or casseroles actually, but things like chicken cacciatore - my mom's version has celery, carrots, and peas which she served over egg noodles Irish chicken - where you brown the chicken and then bake it over a bed of seasoned cabbage, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, onions, green beans,…

Are you set on a main dish, side dish style of cooking? There's a lot of options out there for one pot meals that will meet all of those food group requirements.

The first thought I had reading your post is that you are not eating enough calories. I eat 1800 calories a day, and I am a 5'6" 159 lb woman. I like to drink smoothies also, but I have found that I have to add something fattening to them or I'm just dying of starvation within an hour or two. I usually add plain yogurt. Or…

I drink Shakeology for breakfast. But it's also full of bunch of frozen fruit and yogurt.

I was not able to make any changes to my waist until I began strength training.

I'm allergic to Shrimp - carry an epi pen Watermelon

I really don't want to talk about allergies. You started a thread about a food intolerance test with no known scientific validity, so I gave you information on how to achieve the exact same results in a scientific manner. It's a public forum, I can post whatever I want. Edited to add: The ALCAT test is attempting to test…

Facial bloat, and constipation are a common side effect of excessive alcohol consumption. None of this is medical advice. Do not take any medications without consulting a doctor. The bowel is a smooth muscle, that is activated by pressure. Once chronic constipation occurs the bowel stretches out. This causes it to need to…

I wanted to talk about allergies a little bit , because you may find it helpful. An allergy is simply an immune (igE) response to protein. I'm oversimplifying, but trying to help you understand. There are many reasons an individual will have symptoms, but test negative. For example, when we make allergy extract we target a…

Have you tried measuring them before and after to see if it's perception? The mind does interesting things, which is why placebos work. I would say it's the sitting, but that's just me.

Height 5'6" Weight 159 Pants 9/10 Pull over shirts medium Button up shirts large (boobs) Bra size 34DD I still carry a lot of weight in my midsection, so I have a hard time finding pants.

Here's the other problem with using laxatives for constipation without doctor's supervision: if the problem with hardened stool isn't addressed first, the laxative may cause horrific bowel discomfort, and diarrhea around the stool. I learned this one by accident, and ended up with an agonizing child in the ER. There are…

Now that I have lost fat you can see the muscle definition better in my legs, but they haven't grown in size. My thighs are smaller than they used to be, and I lift heavy in addition to running.

My daughter has clinically chronic constipation, and there have been times she's been severely "backed up", and we have had to flush her out. While it will work, using Epsom salts can actually cause bowel dependency, and is not recommended. I would suggest if you are trying to flush your colon you engage your GP. There is…

At the beginning, my band size went down, and my cup size went up. I went from a 40G to a 34DD. I medically qualified for a breast reduction before, and I don't need one anymore. I'm happy it happened without surgery. When I was large breasted I wore Enell. Now I wear Shock Absorber. I didn't start to have significant body…

Because it hasn't existed as long. Our maintenance posts used to be in the general forum, so they are part of the 6,000.

I hope that's the consensus. The fat soluble vitamins in excessive amounts like that can poison you. Assuming you could actually fit that amount of broccoli into your body, and absorb the nutrients in the levels posted, you could likely do yourself serious harm from the vitamins.

It's hard to answer such a vague question. My niece had bariatric surgery this year, which forced her into a VLCD. The specialist works very closely with the patient to monitor their health. When recovering from surgery diet is heavily monitored, and suggested foods are typically healthy. It is extremely hard on the body.…

@Working2BLean The swim part is in a lake, and I'm not sure what the current will be like. I do have access to see the course well in advance though, so when it's spring I'll probably check it out. Thank you for the Google suggestions, I'll look those up.

I had a lot of weight to lose, I picked 60lbs based upon recommended BMI, and I wanted to lose it in a sustainable way. So I did not give myself a goal date. It took me 3 years. For me it wasn't about when, it was about how. I set goals for other things; first 5k, first 10k, 1 race a month, etc. Those small obtainable…
