  • Oh, I definitely like the switching from peanut butter to almond butter idea. I do eat peanut butter almost every day because I can tolerate it, but if it does contribute to the inflammation then it's a bad idea. I also love the idea of the steel cut oats, I will give them a try. I also found that whole wheat pasta doesn't…

  • I am lucky in that I am a big water drinker, and that helps with the "full" feeling a lot. I haven't tried Miralax or anything like that under the assumption that it would loosen things up that are already too loose, if you know what I mean ;) It really is true that everyone with diseases of this sort have different things…

  • If the pain is that severe, I would go see a doctor about it. And sooner rather than later. Abdominal pain like that is not something to mess around with. Better to be safe than sorry. (I say this having learned the lesson the hard way too many times.)

  • Yes, definitely get new shoes, that will help a lot. I also wrap my knees before any sort of non water-based exercise - I had my ACL and MCL repaired several years ago after a skiing accident so I'm extra cautious with my knees these days. I use those thicker self-stick ACE bandages and they give me just enough support.…

  • I'm in - I'm getting married on April 18 in Vegas. Don't want to lose TOO much so that my dress is too big, but would love to feel beautiful & sexy in it, which I know losing a couple of pounds will do for me! All I've been doing is maintaining, which was really my goal when I started here - to not GAIN. But now I'm ready…

  • Oh, I completely relate. I go to a doctor's office every 5 weeks for an infusion. I swear that thing is permanently set at 199.9, which is the highest number I've ever seen. I don't actually own a scale so I'm using this 5 week weigh-in as my weight loss weigh-in (it's always the same time of day, day of week, and I always…

  • Ooh, I love this idea of creating a 1000-cal food over there and still tracking over here. I like this database so much better. Thanks for that suggestion!

  • I'm from Vermillion originally but spent the last 10 years in Colorado. Now I've somehow ended up in Indianapolis. Can't say I miss those South Dakota winters, but I sure to miss the Colorado ones! I don't know what to do with myself since I can't go snowshoeing here. I'm seriously debating PX90 but I think I'm with you…
