Lots of good suggestions. I have a few that weren't mentioned. I don't eat breakfast, so my calorie budget allows for later snacks. I am measuring everything with food scale. Besides veggies or low sugar fruits, I also like sugar free jello/pudding, unsweetened applesauce, cottage cheese w/fruit, cheese on a few triquits,…

Just curious. What's working for you? Daily intake? Amount of exercise? Specific macros? You look awesome and your before pic is about my starting point.

I must confess to scanning through the thread rather quickly, so forgive me if it was mentioned. My question refers to artificial sweeteners under high heat. It seems I read 'somewhere' that heat does something to sweeteners making them react differently with the body and possibly making them toxic when they were not in…

I use it off/on to RESET my appetite. If I start to incorporate too many starchy carbs in my diet, my hunger goes through the roof. At that point, my hunger seems to take a life of it's own and make me miserable 24/7. I've found that breaking the phen in half works fine for me. One-half tablet kills my hunger like nothing…

It's possible. My ex hub's second wife left him (go figure) and wanted to reconcile out of desperation. I declined. Roommate was worried I would kick him to the curb over it. We talked. I explained I would not do that without months fair warning, and a good reason tomove on. The ex was not a consideration. The whole ex…

Fair enough. It was hard to explain without getting long winded. :frown:

bb_lose_weigh -- that would be over the top IMHO as well. I'm not saying he/I aren't close, but we have boundaries. I've known him 10yrs, lived together off/on a couple times now, and it really is like a sibling to me. I'm sure the boundaries would expand if someone else was around, but I do see how your experience would…

LOL, you have a way of putting it to the point, but yup... you nailed it. I had some raw experiences over the last decade that left me jaded, so I withdrew from the dating scene. I would say this 'substitute' situation has helped me heal over the years, but it's not the real thing. I was thinking about taking a chance…

Sometimes it's just genetic predisposition! I had mine out when I was at my heaviest (240) and no yoyo dieting. Diet is a big contributor to it, but I'm not sure the medical field has pinpointed just how. My daughter had to have hers removed at 13!!! A year after my surgery, she was having horrible cramps that wouldn't go…

Just checking in for any updates. Hope your holiday is filled with love, support and healing.

Geeb, you have a point. I need to tighten up the logging (I'm so sick of logging) and diet. Start shaving off the calories a little each week and see how long before the deficit manifest in loss. One thing that I experienced in October when I was attempting a low carb approach, was a major watershed. It seems too many…

Thank you Cindy for the compliment! It was taken last month when I hit the -40 mark and one-derland... was a happy day for me. Then I fell off the wagon face first and landed in a pile of pumpkin pie! hahaha As for kicking my own *kitten* in the gym, it'll have to be at home for now. No $ for memberships. I do have an HRM…

Well hopefully you are right about the water retention, and I'll just focus on breaking some bad habits I've incurred this month. Too many carbs, too much alcohol, and too little give-a-flip. :embarassed:
-
Yes, I'm a bit OCD with numbers, and I realize "some" of this is water...but I can't fit in some 16's I was wearing last month, so things are not feeling too good at the moment. I weigh daily, because I do realize there are fluctuations in water. I start to get nervous when the "trend" is consistently upwards and there are…

In for an update! Great job and I hope all is well with surgery recovery! :heart:

Passive-aggressive!! which usually results in either clingy or bully; depending on the time of day.
-
I didn't have time to read through all the pages, but I'll just add my .02 cents. Years ago I was married and went through this. With that said, it was a physical response to an emotional change. In my case, the "ex" was passive aggressive and did some things that hurt me to the core. Even though I didn't realize it at the…

Was checking to see if you had updated. Hope you are feeling better!
-
Hell, I've been here over a year and NEVER had a naughty PM or invite! <scratches her head> Guess I must be past my expiration or something, LOL The way I look at it, it's easy enough to ignore/report if someone creeps you out. One day you will get to an age where no one notices anymore... THEN you get to complain! :-p
-
Sooo glad you went back and stood your ground! Knowing what's wrong is the first step to getting better. That other douche-doctor needs a reprimand! If you are type-1, you will have to work with them on getting control of your blood sugars since consistently high BS will tear down vascular system affecting the heart and…

I'm not going to get into the scientific part of this discussion, but I will say these "variables" to why one person is skinny and another is not...is not always obvious to the naked eye. At my heaviest, I was 240 and never was one to binge or eat tons of food. I was eating tons of carbs back then, and have since found out…

I know you are faced with a major challenge of no insurance, but you MUST seek medical help in some form or another! I don't mean to scare you, but I bled like that (granted I was in my 40's at the time) and it turned out to be uterine cancer. I was lucky enough to get diagnosed early enough to have it removed and avoid…

I'm going to preface my post with a couple of pertinent facts. 1) I'm ~42% BF and weigh 205 lbs right now. (can't compare to someone already fit) 2) I'm insulin resistant and do not process carbs/sugar appropriately (diagnosed) 3) I do not currently do cardio (back problems). Here is what my heart doctor told me. If my…

Not that this will answer your question - BUT it's very informative about accurately tracking your weight. You have to watch both videos to get the full gist of his message. http://scoobysworkshop.com/how-to-weigh-yourself-accurately/

Guns! (as in look at those guns!) ;)

Divorced in 2003, one 2-yr relationship in that period - otherwise single. I feel ya pain gf! My kids are almost grown now, and about 3 yrs ago I moved a male roommate into my house. Long time friend who is asexual and doesn't chase any sort of tail. He's handy with tools, cuts the grass, pays me rent, brings the groceries…
