That sounds and is dangerous! Talk to your doctor before you do this. I was going to do a fasting cleanse and my doctor was against it because of it counteracting the meds I was on.Please be careful our health is more important than losing the weight quickly.

where can you find trutien?

I agree,you haven't given up yet.YoU ARE TALKING ABT>IT.No one eats perfectly all the time,if they do it will only last for a short time,until they crash. My brother who is the healthiest and most fit person I know,eats healthy as a lifestyle,but when he wants to have a treat,or a down day.He does it,he doesn't overdo…

I got mine from my chiropractor,but I think you can order it online.It's a roll on natural pain reliever.Oh, Advil liquid gels helped alot too.

I feel I do my best workout in the a.m. I drink some green tea,have some oatmeal,then workout for abt.90 minutes or more.Then I refresh with protein after workout,feel great all day when I do this!:)

I was going strong in my exercise too,then had severe flare up of back pain from 2 previously herniated discs. The doctor told me to lay off all the abdominal crunches and heavy lifting.To stretch in am and evening and try lower impact YOGA/pilates until I healed. I was still able to use treadmill,just did at a different…

Sarah,I sent a friend request and put some helpful info in your message.Look forward to being a support for one another!:)

I like an omelette made w/goat cheese and topped w/fresh salsa,some fruit. Oatmeal w.flax seed,or a whey protein shake.

Dont; feel bad,you did pretty good,When you exercise you need to eat a little more to make up for what you lost during exercise.If you don't eat enough and your'e exercsing,your body will hold onto fat.You haev to eat to burn,eat small amounts more frequently,that helps me spread it out through the day.Give yourself some…

Thanks for sharing.BUMP

WHole wheat pasta,tastes weird and has a bizarre texture.QUinoa I used to not like,but now I can eat it by doctoring it up with chicken broth and vegetables.Tofu,sounds weird,has no taste and feels weird.I have to say,I like the ground turkey/chicken,but I doctor it up w/spices.

Jmeyer925,Love the message on your scale>>LOLThat's a motivator. Congratulations on losing all that weight,how long has it taken you to lose,and did you have a period when the scale was not changing no matter how hard you were working?

I look in the mirror state my goals and I make my environment conducive to losing.I have removed all unhealthy foods/snacks,replaced them with healthy ones. I think of the reasons I want to be thinner and healthier,that keeps me MOTIVATED. When I get upset,I go to the gym,not the fridge anymore.Best of luck,YOU CAN DO…

sounds yummy.bump

I log on cheat days to hold me accountable.The one thing I try to do even on a cheat day is use portion control,order the dessert,but eat 1/2.It's even more of a shocker when you see what 1/2 came too,keeps me honest when I am not cheating. Besides,they say everything in moderation is better.:)

These both sound yummy!!:) I just take one scoop of chocolate whey protein,add 1 cup of Almond milk and a 1/2 tbsp.of natural peanut butter. Makes me think I had a candy car instead of a shake,cures my cravings.Will have to try your recipes.Thanks for sharing... Bump

I have been on here since August,but just started usung the community boards and accepting friends. I am here to add if you want another support.Best of luck to you:)

I am having the same problem,but the fats I am eating that put me over are the good fats in nuts,advocados,coconuts,EVOO.The one place I can skim down,is by alternating eating whole egg vs.egg whites on other days.Good luck to you.:)

I am from Columbus,Ohio:smile:

I make my long grain brown rice with reduced sodium chicken broth and add onions,varietyof vegetables with EVOO and saute.Yum

I skip the rice,get the sauce on the side,so I can just add a little to my food and not take in too many calories,or sodium. I like Moo Goo GAi Pan,healthy unfried chicken w/lots of fresh vegetables.Enjoy:)

where do you find this?

I have never tried Hemp seeds.I always use flax seeds,they are high in omega 3's,good for body,mind and soul.I eat them ground in a smoothie,in soups,or on salads,in yogurt or oats.

I am 5'9" and I weigh 214,my highest was 227#.I have a goal to get to 135-140#I feel like I have a long way to go and would love to have some friends to support each other along the way.Feel free to friend me if you like.

It is a preference only thing...I eat breakfast because it gives me energy,I am not that much of an am person,and it helps get me going.THAT"S ALL<TO EACH THEIR OWN.

I like both the almond and coconut unsweetened milk in my protein shakes.Sometimes I will get a travel size almond milk vanilla flavor for a treat,because it's sweeter than the original and it makes me think I had a treat.:)

I eat some fresh fruit,or have a frozen smoothie w/almond milk. If I crave chocolate,I have a rice cake with Jif hazelnut chocolate spread on it,does the trick.Of course,like everyone has said,you can have a day where you cheat every now and then,but then return to healthy eating.

I havebeen using turkey to make meatloaf for a long time,I add some fresh salsa in mine to give it a little kick. I also use ground turkey,or ground chicken in tacos and spaghetti sauce.Tastes just as great,but a little better for you than the beef.

I agree with those about it not being a diet.I have tried many diets,but the weight always comes back. It needs to be a lifestyle change. I have switched to eating whole grains,brown rice.quinoa,vegetables,some fruits and high protein chicken,turkey and fish like salmon,tuna. There are days when my friends want to go out…
