I am mean because stupid people get on my last nerve. Even worse, stupid people who talk to me like I'M the stupid one. :grumble:

So, just to clarify, one more time: The title of this post is "Why am I starving?!!!!" The title is not "Am I starving?" or "Please critique my use of the word "growling." By the way, when I referred to my tummy growling, I used the term in the same way that I have always heard it used, to refer to a hungry, loudly…

Okay, this actually makes the most sense to me. I typically eat more fat, but thought I'd ramp up my visible results if I cut back my fat intake a little. Yesterday I had lots of nuts and avocado and felt fine all day. Today, I had only a miniscule amount of fat. That could be the culprit right there. As to the rest of you…

Okay, I don't know what country you're from. But where I am from, a "growling" tummy means you are hungry. It is a FIGURE OF SPEECH! You seem to think that I am attributing animal-like qualities to my stomach, and it clearly annoys you. It is a commonly used figure of speech here that refers to when you get so hungry that…

Well, I usually drink about a gallon of water per day . . . . I didn't think about the glycemic index thing. But, I ate the huge egg white omelette basically at the same time or right after I finished the protein shake and banana. Still, that with the toast could have been enough to cause a spike I suppose. Does other…

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. Yes, my stomach growls when I am physically HUNGRY. No, it does not growl when I am psychologically "needy". In fact, over the years, my stomach has had very few occasions to growl because I usually have fed the fat thing long before it actually ever gets hungry. So, I know…

Diary is public now. I bumped up my calorie goals when I started doing Insanity. Today, I didn't plan on eating quite as much since I am resting, but . . . . . . I'm also trying to sort out my macros, and I am trying to up my protein as well. I'm open to suggestions as to what I should be doing differently with my eating .…

Wow! Do tell, what did you do to get there?

Hey, I just finished week 1 of Insanity, and I really love seeing others results with the program. You can definitely see a difference! How many inches have you lost from your waist?

Glamorise makes a good one, and guarantees you not to "fly up". They are available on Amazon for $20-$30.

I was at work, and I was 7 months pregnant. I remember how quiet it was in the building that day, especially in the cafeteria where they had televisions. I remember that I was at break when the towers fell, and I started crying as I watched the live news coverage. I was grief stricken for the people still inside and even…

That is a good idea. I wish I had kept the jeans I was wearing in my current profile pic. But, I didn't. I gave them away. Would have been nice to have one of those pictures of me wearing them and looking like you could fit another me in there alongside. Anyway, it's a good problem to have, you have to admit.

Yes, Ebay and thrift/consignment shops are your friends. Or, you might see if you have a local seamstress or tailor. You may be able to have your baggy clothing taken in a size for about the same price you'd pay for used items at a thrift shop. Also, frequent the clearance racks every time you go to any store. Even if you…

I'm not an expert by any means, but here is something I noticed that helped me with the knee issue. When I first started losing weight, I started drilling down into my food diary and looking at my nutrient macros. I noticed that I always seemed to be coming up very short on potassium. I began to be more diligent about that…

I love it! You rock! So glad everyone posts their success stories. These have helped me get back on track more than once. I hope everyone can realize how important this little component of MFP truly is and never feel self conscious about tooting our own horns, so to speak. I plan on posting some pics as soon as I hit the…

I love this program. I'm currently in week 6. Get it. You won't regret it.

Thanks for the responses. So, I'll probably just do yoga then.

Bumping for later.

This. I am also from the South. When I was a kid, I remember my dad wanting to lose some weight. We were drinkers of the super SWEET tea. So, my dad decided we would slowly cut back the amount of sugar we put in the tea every week or two, by about a quarter of a cup each time. Surprisingly, it was hardly noticeable. And,…

I've got a vegan cookbook with an awesome key lime pie recipe in it. The filling is mostly avocados. I've had it, and it is delicious. Maybe I'll post the recipe later on, don't have the cookbook handy right now.

I did. I was up to W6D3. Took a little over a week off due to a seminar eating up my time, plus my knee was sore. Started over yesterday, and backed up to W5D1.

I started taking potassium. I noticed, as a side effect of logging my food, that I don't typically get enough potassium. So, I did some research and started taking OTC supplements. Potassium helps with muscle health, which I think is pretty important if your working the heck out of them. It really seems to help. I haven't…

I've been at it for about 4 months now. I was doing great at first because, like so many others, the weight was coming off and I loved seeing that number drop. But, I've hit a couple of rough spots along the way too. I've had those weeks where I could not stop thinking about food/chocolate and I ended up getting off track…

You win!! I am sitting here at the computer laughing out loud like a freak with tears rolling down my cheaks! That is too funny!!

That really is an awesome feeling, isn't it. I am now pulling clothes out of the closet that I haven't been able to wear in 5 years and they fit! But, how awesome will it be when I have to go buy new stuff in . . . drum roll please. . . . single digit sizes!!!? That is my next non-scale goal, and I cannot wait!! We can…

Did you actually go to the link and look at the the list of physiological differences between carnivores and herbivores? As to being an omnivore, it does address that as well, though admittedly very minimally. But, FYI, pigs are true physiological omnivores. At any rate, you seem to be implying that I am choosing a side.…
