Good luck with your surgery. I hope it goes well and that it helps you make the transition to a healthy life. You may get some negative, know-it-all posts from people. I hope not. Whatever you do, please take positive steps to make sure that you change the style of life you have been living so that the gastric sleeve…

Great job! Such a difference in your face.

Great response. I think the key for all of us is to find what works with us and what we can fit around our already busy lives. Myself, I was going to the gym after five, but because I have to cover so many different events at night (sports, meetings, fund raisers, etc.) for my small town newspaper that it became…

Do you want to lose it and the gain it back? If so, then find all the supplements, cleanses and diet pills you can. Throw in a quick fat-burning diet, too. Do you want to be healthier than you are right now? If so, visit a doctor to discuss what exercise programs you can do. I do not advise walking into a gym and throwing…

Thank you for the time and insight and thoughtfulness of this reply.

My doctor suggested the Paleo approach for me. Read the book, first. I downloaded it to my iPad, so it is with me wherever I go. I am not so sure if I think the most avid form of Paleo is really doable for me; i.e., cage free eggs, wild caught salmon, grass fed beef, etc., but that seems to be a lot of what you see…

One of the most, but there are so many others to choose from. Growing up, during my High school years, this is what happened. My Dad had a cowboy hat box on the back of his closet shelf. Inside the box, with his hat, was the dirty book "Naughty Night Nurses." It was the closest proximity to porno in our house and believe…

Quick math here: If your daily cal is 1,580, then weekly goal is 11,060. If you were 2,705 below that (8,355), then you were at 1,193 cals per day, which is below the 1,200 min. suggested. Your ticker says you still have about 40 lb left to lose, so I think hitting below the 1,200 is working in reverse because your body…

1,500 or 1800 calories per day for someone your size puts you in danger of harming yourself while losing weight. Look under groups and look for "More than 100 pounds to lose" and make some connections there to find out how others have done it. You may want to be under doctor's contact while losing this amount of weight, as…

You have done an incredible job!

BUMP for later.

How come a brah gets to determine that "women only" get to participate in a discussion of feminism and burgers, even if it his original post? Seems full of irony.

A recent update: I finished Week Three of Couch to 5K program. Also working on strength training 3 times a week with a gym buddy. Had a doctor's appointment last week. With the exception of my HDL Cholesterol, all of my numbers were in normal range! Blood sugars dropped over 20 points from the previous blood test a little…

I am not one, but you might look at primal and paleo as a way of eliminating the glutens causing you problems. There is a paleo group here and you can probably find a lot of support elsewhere in terms of paleo or primal approaches.

Change your phone number before you end up stuffed in his bedroom in the basement.

Not THE END, Jennifer! Great story, but it is not THE END yet.

The one in front of me! Bread is a downfall of mine. Eat too much of it. I love rye, pumpernickel, whole grains, etc. Just dusted off the bread machine this Sunday for a whole nine-grain bread loaf. Going to look for other recipes.

For the love of God, please leave them alone!

Great great great! You have done so well and are an inspiration to so many others!

I tried immediately after work for a month and found that I had too many other commitments in terms of my work (small town newspaper) to be consistent. I cover a lot of things at night, so that doesn't work either. I get up at 5:45 a.m. and meet a workout buddy. Having someone that I know is there gives me more motivation…

Congratulations! Good luck in the future.

Everything you mentioned covers up or masks the taste of the cauliflower.... curry, bacon, dips, etc.

I need to add both of those!

Isn' that in itself a form of psychopathy?

Bram Stoker's Dracula On God's Side The Historian (which I started and stopped to read Dracula which is the basis of The Historian) The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt The Earth is Flat The Book Thief The Temple and the Lodge (an historical theory of what happened to the Knights Templar) Stephen King and Peter Straub The Black…

Well, crap, I don't know how to put a photo in a post.... oh well....

Here is what happens when you take that parasite to lose weight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbDTvxyWB9c From World War Z Max Brook's theory on human zombies is that it is a parasite that takes control of its host, which is not that far removed from actual biology in the parasite that takes control of the ants.…

Good luck

This is from some weight loss clinic. I found it by typing "Science behind dieting and feeling cold" into the magic box. Without comment on the clinic itself, it seems to make sense some of the things pointed out in the answer. http://www.lindora.com/faqs.aspx?faqID=125
