  • I started to respond to this silly attempt at provocation, but am more proud of myself now that I haven't.
  • I'm neither a doctor nor a nurse, and I'm not particularly brilliant, but I do have a lot of experience. I know that when I've tried to read into reports, I've been way off and have scared my self needlessly. The numbers you quote, while higher than normal, aren't super elevated, I don't think. And I quickly looked up…
  • Something that helps me is to plan my day ahead of time. You can put in what you plan eating, then adjust as needed. Best of luck!
  • You know that you didn't eat 5lb. worth of calories, so don't let it derail you and all the hard work you've put into this. Aunt Dot always brings trouble. (BTW, that took me a minute, we call her Auntie Em.)All the extra sodium is another problem. Slam some extra water and get back to basics. You got this!
  • You look great, and I'll bet you feel great! Thanks for sharing. It's motivational.
  • The original poster clearly stated her agreement with the "what works for you" notion. But instead, as per the way this place works, someone picked a word and put her answer down. That sort of picking, IMO, squashes discussion as opposed to helping us all to learn. It was her first post, I hope it isn't her last.
  • New York, USA. The state, not to be confused with the city. Corn, apple orchards, cows, woods, lakes, well, you get the idea.
  • Not a good week for me, though it could have been worse. I neither lost nor gained. No excuses...it's all on me.
  • You look beautiful! To be honest, you looked beautiful before, but you've got plentry to toot about. Well done!
  • Water is the pain in my neck too. You had a nice weight loss despite not being right on target. Keep it up!
  • NSV's are definitely important, but so is attitude and yours is terrific!
  • You must be so proud of yourself, and it's obvious you're doing something right! Well done.
  • Like an earlier poster, I find when I eat whole grain and little sugar, I don't get the willies to eat as much. Something I noticed about your diary is that you don't eat much in the line of vegetables, some days none at at all. Vegetables are filling and low calorie. And maybe you could spread your calories out more so…
  • Steak, roasted eggplant, and a salad. I'm a fan of sweet potato too and I have to share something new I've been doing with it. I bought a thing called a julienne peeler. You run it along a sweet potato and it makes long skinny strips, then put the strips in the oven for 15-20 minutes. It makes these awesome crispy, crunchy…
  • My goodness, you all are getting one punch right after another! I will absolutely join your family with all the positive energy I can. I've saved up a little Karma that I'll donate as well. My heart goes out to your uncle and all of you who love him. I'm sure you know how important a strong support system is, and he's so…
  • Back to work yesterday after 16 days off. I knew it would help me with eating properly, and all went well. Today? No school, a wind chill day off! It's just me and my will power.
  • Hi everyone! This is my first post here and I'm hoping that joining this group will give me the motivation I've been lacking. And I'm very happy to encourage others. SW:185 lb. GWFC: 167 lb.. UGW: 135 lb. Best of luck to all!
