  • Wow, I can't believe I was able to add this! How cool!!!
  • LOL everyone says that!! They say "you cant possibly be from the south" but yes, I am a southerner who hates, no despises fish and seafood!! Everyone in my family LOVESSSSS it, except me, esp my creole counterparts! lol And yes, I will be working on finding better things. Of course this weekend I have been off plan…
  • I have tried different kinds of seafood and I just can't stomach it, really. I don't like the texture, the smell. My husband is from the Caribbean, he eats a lot of fish, plantain (which I also do not like) and rice. He also eats a lot of potatoes and yucca root (which I do love but is very starchy). He also eats things…
  • And - YES... your husband SHOULD be pitching in! Ill come over there and boot him in the hiney to get his rear in gear! Crock pot... is a woman AND man's best friend. Set it up before you leave for work on the low setting. It cooks all day long and VOILA - dinner is ready to be served when you get home. Now lady - No more…
  • [quote by the way, I peeped at your food diary and you are no where near low enough in your carbohydrates to be in a state of ketosis where you will lose your carb cravings! [/quote] You must have peeped todays cause I decided to up my carbs and try something different. I used to eat 30g or less daily and stayed in…
  • I drink diet coke, not regular coke.
  • Yeah I know I eat a lot of processed, prepackaged foods. I cook when I can but I work so much, hardly ever get two days off in a row so being in the kitchen all day is a huge challenge for me. Someone mentioned cooking lots of meals in one day but when I do have a day off, staying in the kitchen is the last thing I want to…
  • Thanks for the heads up. We had a patient (a 27 yr old male) admitted last night for the same thing. I had actually talked to my husband when I got home about up'ing my carbs. My doctor suggests 20% but I had always kept it lower but I think I will knock it up to 20%. I guess seeing him last night, your email today is kind…
  • a few weeks ago I ended an almost 2 month stall. I up'd my calories and lost 7 lbs. I was eating around 1200-1400 calories a day and stopped losing. It was about the same time I started to exercise and and was still only eating 1200-1400 a day. Someone suggested up'ing calories by 300-400 (basically what I was exercising)…
  • 97 lbs, wow!! I could only wish!! I drink diet soda, I feel like it's the only thing keeping me going. Of course at work I drink 64-96oz of water with crystal light a night. I wish I could find some balance and contentment. I push myself so hard to stay course but lately just been feeling off track in all areas!
  • Well I didn't make my goal today of 10 miles today but I got 8 miles. I was hoping to do my last 2 miles today but after 5 miles yesterday, I was wore out. My roommate is home on weekends and hogs the tv in the living room which is where I do my walk away the lbs dvd, but maybe she will go somewhere long enough tomorrow so…
  • Wow well if that's the case they should charge more for everything a person does that can cause increased risks including smoking, being overweight, family history, etc. I work in the ER and lots of our staff smokes (nurses and 2 doctors) - they go out the ambulance bay on the side of the ER and take their smoke breaks.…
  • My son took topamax for headaches but we had to take him off because he became overly aggressive!!
  • Welcome Eys81 and Mom3x!! Update, I did the full 3 miles today of "Walk away the pounds" - I was sooo tempted to just give up at the end of 2 miles but I pushed through and midway through that last mile, when she went to the 60 seconds of jogging (the boost as she calls it) omg, I wanted to die but I actually enjoyed it…
  • An update for me - I have walked 3 miles of the 10 in my goal. Today is Thursday (still Wed night for me at work) and I am off so I really want to get some walking in today. I plan to do a 2 mile walk when I wake up and another walk with hubby in the evening. I have to work this coming weekend so I am going to push to do 3…
  • Mine is 45g carb - 10% 135 g protein - 30% 120 g fat - 60%
  • Only during the lighter days. I don't on the heavier days only because it seems to come on stronger and well, gets messy (tmi, i know).
  • My sons are Austin and Ian... if I had another it would be Ryder
  • Wow, that's a great goal!! I have my macro set for 30 min, 3 days a week but that's my absolute minimum!! I had a knee injury earlier this year so don't push it!! It's better to do 1/2 of that and keep going than to push and re injure it! Good luck!
  • I totally understand, today is the last day for mine (thank goodness) - this past week wasn't pretty for me. ! lol
  • No carbs after lunch?? Hmm, I already low carb and most things have carbs (even lettuce although minor amounts). And one splurge meal is what gets me off track ... lol I can't seem to realize when they splurge stops. Like today. Hubby took me out for a celebratory lunch so of course it was high carb and delicious! It was…
  • Okay, let's get a challenge going for next week. It could be a personal goal you make. I know personally for me, I would love to walk 10 miles total next week, that's five 2 mile sessions. This week was that time of month and it was horrible so I think next week I could get back on track (plus I had a cheat day today so I…
  • Def Leppard in Dallas 1988 oh and KISS in 1983 (I was 13!! haha)
  • Well I assume to get THE results JM talks about, yes probably best to do everyday but no one can convince me if I did it 3 times a week along with my 2 mile walks 5 days a week I wouldn't see any results. I have LOTS and LOTS to lose so of course I am not going to see anything "chisled" on my body in 30 days, okay maybe a…
  • Well, I am nice to everyone, almost to fault. I just haven't always been as nice to myself.....lol
  • I checked it out cause I was interested in knowing the "steps" so here they are..... Steps 1 and 2 The first step of the Overeaters Anonymous program entails admitting that there's a problem. The second step is acknowledging a higher power in which to entrust recovery. Steps 3 and 4 The third step in Overeaters Anonymous…
  • Well I do plan on doing that for sure. I miss my walks. I tried walking a little yesterday but I made it down the block and knew I needed to turn back, just an icky feeling and I am glad I listened to myself. I am hoping tomorrow it lightens up......
  • Time of Month :)
  • People really choose their friends based on what other people drink (and eat I will assume) - lol I wouldn't call them friends and if I was that snobbish, I could eliminate some family as well....... REALLY? lmao that's childish. People are people, get over yourself!
