Oh, gosh, I've researched and researched info on regulating metabolism (because I am hypothyroid) and I just don't know what to believe when it comes to that topic anymore...maybe my protein addiction has slowed my metabolism...maybe I need to eat "warm" foods since I have a "cold" illness (chinese medicine calls slow…
-
I like this response. :) This seems like a good remedy to the problem. :) What snack would you suggest that is small yet high calorie?
-
I have this problem as well..I'm a protein junkie, so I'm never hungry...and I can eat WAY LESS calories than I should and be fully satisfied... :( bad habits die hard...bump for later...I'm interested to read the responses to this post as I have the same questions myself...sometimes I go to bed feeling guilty for not…

We will be talking and he'll say "huh" and I'll just stare at him and then he'll repeat back to me what I said and then reply...auditory processing delay :( poor guy but sweet, awesome man! love him!

He is CONSTANTLY clearing his throat...or lightly coughing to clear his throat--I've tried EVERYTHING I can think of to discreetly help him...throat lozenges... :( poor guy...it must suck to constantly feel as if you need to clear your throat :( Oh, and the fact that I'll be speaking with him-looking him in the eye- and he…

Protein and lot's of it would be my suggestion...I don't count calories-I count carbs-- BUT, I have noticed that I eat WAY LESS calories in general by counting carbs instead of calories. Also, I would suggest eating REAL FOOD...not the packaged edible PRODUCTS (those products are not REAL FOOD) if you eat real food you…

Thanks guys :) will do!

You all look amazing! Thanks for the inspiration! :D

My current weight is @ 190lbs right now and I have a goal of 145-155 :) I'd like to be more toned as well...if I were toned I'd be happier with a bigger number...like 160-170 :) I really don't mind my size...I just wanna be tight! :)

I'm embarrassed by the USA picture...but that really does about sum it up for most Americans :( except me and a few others...lol my sister comes to my house and sees real butter and fruits and vegetables and shes all like "how do you feed everyone!" lol ...I also keep a garden and so we have lots of fresh fruits and…

blueberries :) blackberries or raspberries (I prefer blueberries) :) peanuts...cashews or pecans or pistachios or a nut of your choice :) keep a glass of water nearby... sugar free candies (I love the Russell Stover Sugar free Dark Chocolate Peanuts...)
-
I like the snack bars as well...lol but I can tend to go a bit overboard with them so be careful! If you're looking for friends, feel free to add me. :) I need some motivation... I'm just getting back on track... :)

Hi! Welcome! My advice is to buy the Atkins diet book and read it cover to cover! :) You can also visit the website (www.atkins.com) for a free start up pack that includes a couple of the Atkins snack bars and a carb counter book and lots of good info. :) Good luck with your new lifestyle. Feel free to add me if you like.…

I've researched Splenda, and I ran across some disturbing information...so I switched to Stevia in the Raw...it took me a minute to get used to the flavor, but now it's great. :) I didn't have any problems with weight loss when I was using Splenda though...unless I used too much of it...U have to count every tsp or packet…

Thank you so much for sharing. I needed to see this this morning. I've been so discouraged. Thank you. :) Amazing transformation! :D
-
Atkins makes some pretty tasty frozen meals...would be perfect for a quick lunch at work. :)
-
Well, let me try to explain my question...would eating this way cause your metabolism to slow...as in for the "lean months" for survival purposes? Gosh, I'm crappy at explaining myself...I think I'm over-analyzing the lifestyle... I guess I'm just really paranoid about slowing my metabolism down because I'm…

Helloooo :)

...I'm one of the guys and can't stand chick drama...but I'm straight!

I agree as well-you look very beautiful! You are doing well, so just keep it up! :)

Here are my results...I didn't like this test AT ALL...the questions...specific situations would call for different answers to these questions... but, anyway, here are my results: INTJ Introvert(33%) iNtuitive(50%) Thinking(1%) Judging(67%) •You have moderate preference of Introversion over Extraversion (33%) •You have…
-
Oh wow! You did it! :) Thanks for the motivation! It CAN be done!
-
Tried counting carbs instead of calories? It's the only thing that's worked for me. I eat an Atkins lifestyle, and I'm very happy with it...maybe you should read Dr. Atkins book and see if it's for you? Sorry you're struggling. Hope things get figured out soon.

every two weeks. Weighing every day is an emotional rollercoaster that I REFUSE to ride...every two weeks gives me more accurate answers as to my progress. :) Also, the scale isn't as important as my measurements! Kick that scale under the bed and forget about it! Measure, measure measure!
-
Thank you! This was put much better than how I put it! :) As for my carb fix, I crave veggies and berries (blueberries, strawberries or blackberries and heavy whipped cream! yum!) So many people are eating low :( It makes me sad...they are just setting themselves up for starvation mode... :( EAT MAN! EAT! :)
-
screw calorie restriction...I say eat more calories...but limit your carbs if you wanna lose those love handles...lot's of protein will help you build muscles while losing fat...Just my take on the matter... :) good luck :) Oh, and don't be afraid of eating healthy fats (animal / olive ect) Fat won't make you fat :) I know…

fresh, mild, iceburg lettuce (or romaine lettuce), BACON, diced hard boiled eggs, grated parmesan cheese, cubed cheddar cheese (I prefer sharp) shredded purple cabbage, broccoli (cut up in small pieces-head pieces), mushrooms (I really prefer mine sauteed in butter...) green bell pepper (sliced in thin rounds),sliced…

Add me if you like. My diary is open. :)

No carbs?! ...even the strictest form of Atkins allows 20grams a day(mostly in the form of veggies)! You are gonna get SO constipated...please remember to drink your water...also, I don't think a week is going to make much difference...it takes a least three days for your body to switch into ketosis...If you are thinking…
