Current weight is 157, I aim for 152 by Halloween! Let's go and good luck all!

Totally in it for the Oct. 16-31 -- hoping for 5 pounds!

A few of my son's french fries...

Height: 5'6" Highest weight- 170 Current Weight- 139 lbs Lowest weight- as an adult over 25 years old, 104 Goal weigh- 129 :bigsmile:

Obtain my goal weight, sort out my finances and spend more time with my son.

I ordered mine off amazon.com. Remember to order extra gel pads.

I read somewhere (Mother Jones Magazine I do believe) that a normal bladder can hold (at full capacity) 20 ounces of water. But that is full capacity and our bladders start feeling "full" at 1/2 to 3/4 capacity. So, this does make sense that you are going to the bathroom a lot more. You aren't crazy, I drink about 10…

Oh, and I forgot to mention. Peas, potatoes, corn, carrots ... all starches that have loads of carbs. Cut down on the starches and have the following instead: Broccoli and cauliflower with ranch dressing (sugar free) Cucumber slices Cherry tomatoes instead of the biscuts/cookies, perhaps have: Apple and almond butter…

1) I eat macarons instead of cookies (they are made with almond flour which is lower in carbs and better on the glycemic index for your blood sugar). 2) Cut out your table sugar and replace it with Stevia. Go "sugar-free" when you can (sugar free hot chocolate, sugar free cookies made with Splenda, etc.) 3) Go for other…

From across the pond I say a hearty "WELL DONE"!!! You look great ...

That is a 10 minute mile, not slow at all -- compared to Olympic runners, yeah, but not compared to the typical person. Just keep plugging at it! You are doing great!

The possibilities are endless! My friends make me pies with brown rice flour crusts -- which are scruptious! My office mates love my coconut flour cupcakes (they don't taste like coconut either). My three teenaged boys have no idea I replaced the pizza dough with quinoa flour. And Rudi's bakery (find it at Whole Foods)…

Thanks for all the great websites!

Zevia for me ... Only because I can actually pronounce everything that is in the ingredient list lol

I appreciate the advice but sometimes it is not that simple to just "cut down on calories". Some people find it practically impossible and mentally problematic. Some people need the aid of things like bands and surgery to kick start the "eat less" programs. I am currently on the HCG diet where I eat 500 calories per day…

Thanks for the site! Very cool!!!

I'm wheat free and love it. I have had a great time researching new recipes using almond, soy, amaranth, coconut and other nut meal flours. I can make cupcakes, sweet breads, biscuts and other great breads using these flours. I notice I am not bloated anymore. I also notice that the weight is practically falling off. My…

USA, Minnesota. But my significant other is UK, Birmingham. So I travel between both often.

I have and I love it. I suggest using this time to test out non-gluten flours in your baking: coconut, almond, amaranthe, quinoa, etc. I found a great recipe for vanilla cupcakes using coconut flour (doesn't taste like cocount either) here http://comfybelly.com/2011/06/very-vanilla-cupcakes-using-coconut-flour/ Also, I eat…

Well done! GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR RUN!!!
