just started reading up on IF, I think the 16:8 is doable for me. I wouldn't mind participating in the challenge and be a motivator and a learner at the same time. I am interested...

can someone explain the "red" container. do you cut your cooked meat for instance salmon and fit it into the container? i am a OCD presentation person so thinking i am cramming a food in a container just to put it on a plate is rather hard to understand.

We are all learning.;) . The best I can describe it is HIIT is a form of cardio that couples intervals of high-intensity exercise (such as sprinting) with intervals of either low-intensity exercise (such as walking at a slow pace) or complete rest.f you google the term it will provide a wealth of links and knowledge.

I am not expert ...this is just something I stumbled upon that has shed some light to me. Also, I know many would ask to see your diary to be able to provide input. I have been stuck for three months trying to lose my last ten lbs. I have upped fat/protein. if you want a friend on your journey, send a friend request. Good…

so glad I found this post, I stumbled upon a great article today and that lead me searching MFPl how to get started when your diet feels broken. How to troubleshoot nutrition plans when “they’ve just stopped working”. http://www.precisionnutrition.com/fix-a-broken-diet I'm also 5'4" and stuck at 160 since January. waist is…

Great info fruttibiscott, I was under wrong impression, I thought it was how it equaled out the entire day- not each meal. When I cooked with coconut oil do I need to list that too? And about the employees, most roll up to thirteen branch managers. Still need working on the rest.

Yes,I like fish and lamb.. I try to prep my food all over the weekend so I can have meals ready.. the leftovers I have sometimes gets eaten by mom or hubby.. and then I am scrambling for other alternatives. :) some nights I come home late from work and too tired to cook or its too late for eat a full dinner... so in a…

Had surgery in 2010, was using creme and found out I was overmedicating... I have been doing without HRT since. I am not having any real symptoms other than night sweats.. but that could also be from Hashimoto, like clockwork I am up at two and sometimes again at 4.

thanks Justspoonful. If is it nitrate free and organic- those are still no no's? Ok good to know, the brand is Applegate and Maverick, I was thinking they were still good in a pinch for protein.. Any suggestions on alternatives so I can add protein .. I did remove tomatoes and when I reintroduced I didn't have any issues,…

I have found Outback is very accommodating when I have to order. One waitress sat right beside me and just ask, "what can you eat and what do you want to eat". The chef created A wonderful enjoyable meal. I even received a visit from the kitchen to ensure that I would like how they were fixing my dish. The entire…

Your determination and success should be applauded..???? . Your are an inspiration too so many of us. I know there were days that you struggled, since normally the last few lbs love to stick around a bit longer. Curious, and may be too personal to address here in the forum.... your skin is very toned and glowing, how did…

This is some additional advice I received.. This may also be helpful to others... "The waking up at 3AM is a common sign of too few carbs. You might try the trick of a teaspoon of honey before bed, or eating some carbs before sleeping. Since you have Hashimotos, it's not a great idea to go very low carb for very long, if…

Above post sounds similar to ours.... Natural cured ham with a maple syrup, fresh orange, mustard glaze Cranberry sauce (maple syrup) Mashed turnips Roasted Brussels sprouts (nitrate free pancetta) Steamed green beans Green salad with veggies (lemon-oil dressing) Dessert - non for me. Made pineapple upside down cake for…

I am on day 41, I started with the Autoimmune Plan and unsure if I want to reintroduce eggs, nuts, or nightshades just yet. I am still learning and reading. Before Paleo, i already remove sugar and processed food from my diet, I love cheese and have been 41 days without. I have lost 10 lbs in the first 30 days, it is now…

I found alot of information from this site. http://www.thepaleomom.com/autoimmunity http://autoimmune-paleo.com/autoimmune-articles/ and I spent $19 on this cookbook. http://www.autoimmune-paleo.com/cookbook/ Here's a page from the book http://autoimmune-paleo.com/paleo-autoimmune-protocol-print-out-guides/#prettyPhoto/0/…

hi, i started a week ago Sunday and have seen a loss of 5 lbs- I am following the Autoimmune Paleo Program. I have eliminated night shades, rice, nuts (all kinds of nuts). You may want to eliminate those if you have Celiac Disease, IBS, etc. I have three autoimmune diseases and I have noticed an improvement in just one…

What a transformation. You need to know where to truly appreciate and be thankful for what you have accomplished. You set the goal to be healthy, and YOU DID IT. Very motivating for those who think this is just a quick fix. It is a life long dedication and commitment. You Do a Body Good. !!!!

I am dealing with hormonal issues, found I had too my estrogen. Dr. has restricted me from soy products: especially milk and whey. I have been drinking Rice and Almond instead. Both are yummy.

I had a complete hysterectomy last March- age 47. I also suffer from hypothryoidism. It has been an uphill battle, but just in January is when my hormones went wacky. I am taking estrogel and synthyroid and it seems that I am gaining a pound a week. I eat healthy (lean meats, fruits veggies) exercise 4-5 times a week, but…

I LOVE my kettlebell, I have been working out with a 10lb to Jillian Shred it with Weights, my results, for me the kettlebell challenge my muscles in a different way from traditional free weights, I burn more calories in 30 minutes then regular cardio workouts. If you need some other workout ideas, go to…

just an update.... last year I had an emergency complete hyster...and I have been placed on estrogel.. ( yes, I know my body is still trying to recover from that).. I have hyperthroidism, ( i am on the smallest dosage on that).. I know that all plays a factor. I have taken a Renew Cleanse to get all the "crud" out of my…

Hi, have you always eaten 1400, I mean prior to weighing 146, what was the calorie goal when weighing more than 146? How long have you been at this?

If your arm gets sore then listen to the pain and ease up..lighter weights.. Should have no problem with it, just put lotion on it, anything that is not petroleum base lotion. All should be good. Keep the lotion on it. Awesome tat, by the way.

I guess you want to surprise them on there next visit? That is fine, but dont worry to much about hiding your new healthy lifestyle. Embrace and you will find a way to make it through this visit. Both of the above are good suggestions. 1. Plan ahead if possible, 2. eat a salad before meal 3. eat half your plate, take the…

I have the Danskin Now 10lb Kettlebell . I am able to do all the exercise rather comfortable except the one arm swing, still a lttle wobbly, so I pick up my 5lb weight so I keep the momentum going. What a great burn feeling... I had to wait two days before I could do it again, now I work with them at least 3 times a week.…

Ok, was doing good until I got to the human flesh.... LOL... not on the menu tonight :noway:

Really surprised my state didn't make it to the top ten... Myrtle Beach, SC is known for the "all you can eat" buffets. Use to be there was a gas station at every corner, now it is a Buffet or Fast Food at every corner... :)

My hair was falling out due to stress from a surgery I had last March. It took about 6 mos before I noticed it stopping, i wish I could say it has grown back, but it hasn't as of yet. It has grown but no growth back to where it has fallen out. Then in December when I started here I noticed my hair breaking/falling again,…

Great suggestion. My hubby and I are both using MFP. I break everything down, but would love to have a way for him to copy a recipe or my diary, so he doesn't have to enter everything again. He is 50-50 in being accurate.

Put lemon in your water, eat cucumbers, asparagus, drink tea- Fennel is good for diuerti. Also parsley.. all known to help eliminate excess water all natural.
