I mostly read weight loss books which is the nerdy version of watching weight loss shows I guess. Lol, I have read enough to confuse the heck out of me. When you read a Paleo book like 'It starts with food' a meat and plant based diet eliminating grains, dairy and beans and then read 'skinny b*"'ch' a book based on…

I joined a long time ago and lost a lot of weight then stopped logging and eventually gained back. Periodically I'll start logging again but the motivation isn't the same as when I started so having friends would be helpful to me as well. Feel free to add me too :-)

I would love to be part of the weight watchers group. I can't afford to go to meetings since I am a stay-at-home mom and have a tight budget but found a way to do weight watchers with apps on my ipod. Paid a total of $2.99 and got a points scanner for free. The only thing I will miss out on is weekly weigh ins. I'm hoping…

I'm on day 4 of my W30. There are a ton of W30 recipes on pinterest. So many recipe blogs if you google Whole 30 recipes. You can find everything on line. I like to check out Paleo cookbooks from my local library too just gotta be careful not to look at all the yummy paleo treats ;)

Hey, I just started my whole 30, today is the end of day 4. I would love to have some whole 30 friends on here :)

Thanks I'll try it :)

If you're not hungry but need to reach a calorie goal so you don't have too little you should try eating a small high protein high calorie snack like almonds, sunflower seeds, even a spoonful of peanut butter. It will provide you with good healthy fat and protein that your body needs yet won't stuff you like most other…

What I did was went to my settings and set it up manually for 40% carbs 30% protein & 30% fat. The auto setting is 55% carbs so that's a little high. South beach does have some good bars and even lunches in the refrigerator section at the grocery store. Try to do something that you can stick with so that you don't end up…

I had a similar thing happen to me about 10 years ago when I took xenadrine. Only took 1 pill and never took anything again after that. What may have happened to you was that the other was probably still in your system and what you took interacted with what little was left over. Some things take a few days to get flushed…

Love those thrift stores :) Same here.

I would say if you spend more than 1/2 your day sitting you should have it on the lowest activity level. Also, remember that they already created a calorie deficit of 500 per day so really your body would burn 1900 w/o any extra exercise. You don't have to eat back all of your calories but you should make sure that your…

Not to worry, it's not too late to up your calories out of starvation mode and continue having a good amount of weight loss :wink: Some people go into starvation mode for a month or more before the light bulb in their head comes on and they realize what they're doing then they end up losing once they up their calories.…

40 pounds is awesome! You can definitely tell. :smile:

lol

I'm definitely not a nutrition expert but here are some better choices in case you're looking for Ideas. 1. Margarine (butter and Olive oil) 2. Sugar (agave nectar, natural beet sugar, honey) 3. Whole Wheat Bread (Ezekiel or any other sprouted grain bread) 4. Pasta (Whole grain, whole wheat, brown rice pasta) also, you…

If you don't have much of an appetite you could eat a meal bar to get in your calorie range. Glucerna would be a good one for your type 2 diabetes. It'll keep your sugar stable and give you the vitamins and nutrients your body needs. Also lots of water :) I have days like that too sometimes. Here's the info on the meal…

I have 57 to lose, you can add me too :smile:
