Looks like tumbler is still having problems :( here's one I wanted to use on several threads tonight but held myself back

That's the way I saw it too.

I was the skinny rail, unhealthy and uncoordinated. My family tried to fatten me up by feeding me sugar. I was a very picky eater and when I look at my high school pictures I would have thought I was anorexic. But it was more that food didn't interest me. My diet was sugar laced cereal with milk in the morning (no wonder I…

I count all the calories even if not absorbed, I'd rather be high than low. I do the same things when I add oil to my fry pan, I count all of it and really it would be too difficult to try and measure what was absorbed and what wasn't.

I have no proof to this but just a variety of things I have read re water 1) Hydration is important during weight loss as it helps your skin's elasticity and may help it "spring back" as the fat is lost and may help reduce or eliminate the droopy skin problem. For myself I notice that if I don't stay hydrated my neck will…

Another mammal carnivore that doen't have 4 legs - whales! And chimpanzees just love to munch on smaller monkeys.

The movement of the boat apparently can swing the scale quite a bit. I know its sounds weird cause I would have thought there would be as much movement in dock but that's what I read.

As a side Genghis Khan, the fearsome Mongolian warrior of the 13th century, may have done more than rule the largest empire in the world; according to a recently published genetic study, he may have helped populate it too. An international group of geneticists studying Y-chromosome data have found that nearly 8 percent of…

The spas usually have a scale, but they say you should weigh yourself when its in port to keep the variations down. Also see if you can weigh yourself when you first get on board and then wear roughly the same clothing each time. Remember that you WILL see weigh gain from the salt.

Sounds like you had similar goals to mine. I started in July and we cruise Feb 3 for 49 days! I want to be 50 pounds down by then and so far have lost about 40 .....but..... we booked another set of cruises for 14 days total leaving Nov 16 so now I have the same kind of dilemma.... Likely will only be down the 40 pounds…

Wow...you've come a long way ... Great for you!

I think there is a difference between committed and hard core. I agree that some people are not really committed to making the changes they need, but you do not have to go hard core to get your results. Moderation works wonders for most people while hard core can scare them off. I am committed to making a change, but have…

ditto My goal is to drop weight, and be healthier but I have no interest in doing the "body builder" stuff. I have changed how and what I eat and do exercise that I can fit in and sustain. Way back in my 20's I became exercise obsessed and that can be as bad an addiction as any other. The endorphins from exercise can be…

I vote...just darn tasty...no rehab necessary

Back in 1994 my husband got quite ill, and gave up all alcohol. He at the time had been a heavy beer and rum drinker so I was surprised that he has never again felt any desire to drink. I was a light drinker, mostly wine and gave this up about 2 years ago. Why - because I never felt good after drinking - congestion and…

:drinker: :flowerforyou:

Boiled mine, then mashed it with 1 uncooked onion and about 12 uncooked garlic cloves, juice of 1/2 lemon and 2 tbsp of tahini sauce. Great both cold as a dip (like hummus) or heated like mashed potatoes.

Do you have the same problem with goat milk/cheese? Some people can tolerate it better than cow. Also, have you tried Ghee or clarified butter. The proteins are removed and can sometimes be tolerated by lactose intolerant people. And yogurt because of the digestives in it are sometimes okay. You are right that many many…

just fruit - no sweeteners

I have a cruise the same week, and another one the week after. I am going to *try* and be good because I don't want to come back with cravings or the 1 pound/day weight gain that is supposed to be *typical*. :noway: So for me, cheats will be larger portions instead of small portions but of the same type of foods we are…

Your diary show extremely low fat. You need a bit to help things slide out. Along with the prunes, try 1 tbsp of olive oil of something like that. Don't be afraid of some fats, they actually help you absorb the vitamins and minerals from all those veggies better. Edit: Here's the article re fats and salads:…

I weigh myself daily in the am and use the physics diet log to determine my moving average weight which helps filter out the noise that the daily weighs create. The logs lets me know that I am still in a weight loss trend. The daily ups and downs are just noise based on how much I ate or drank the day before and how much…
