Rye bread, pickled egg, olive loaf, onions and tuna salad with mustard and lettuce sandwich....Mmmmm

Ok...I figured it out, lol....

I log after everything I eat. This keeps me accountable. I know if I eat it, I have to log it so that helps me to think twice about putting it in my mouth, lol.

Add me please!! Anyone else looking for a friend can add me too. I've been here for 1 month, so I'm new too.

Yeah, I thought that way too until I was standing naked in front of a full length mirror...that's a major wake up call as to how far I had let myself go. Its great that you have that good self esteem, but at your height and weight, it just isn't healthy so think about your health and not how fat you do or don't look.

Since I started a low carb diet, its been super easy to stay under the 1200 mark. Bread, pasta, cake and other carbs pack tons of useless calories. The first two days I was really missing that bagel in the morning but its been two weeks and I have so much more energy because I'm putting good, wholesome nutritious food into…

Wow...everything I've read about that diet is really bad...it's something I wouldn't do. Too few calories...not good for your body IMHO. :indifferent:

You say "This diet"...what diet are you on? I'm on a low carb, high protein diet also counting calories, so really we can't give you any advice on recipes if we don't know what your diet allows. If you could elaborate a little more that would be helpful. :wink:

I am an avid hunter and my choice of lean red meat is venison. It only has 18% of calories from fat. I have it at least three times a week. I feel weak without it.

I'm 48 and have found it hard to lose with just that fact alone..it is much harder to lose now than when I was young. I had a belly just appear over the summer too.

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis in my hips and shoulders. This makes it extremely painful for me to exercise. I have found that I need to really focus and push myself through to get it done and over with and reward myself for doing it even though I hate it. I reward myself with a special forbidden food if I have enough…

I did that too. My answer to that problem was not to make food that easy to just grab. All of the food I have in the house now is food that needs to be prepared to eat. I have a family of 6 and this has stopped the constant snacking too for them as well. I also cut up veggies ahead of time like celery, carrots, radishes…

We need a like button on here.... :smile:

I use elliptical as well...It would be so boring if I didn't listen to my music.

Awesome job!! You're an inspiration... :D

Yes, I am one of those people who also has to have music for motivation. The louder more intense the better I work out, lol

Hello, I'm looking for the same...please feel free to add me. :) My name is Deb and I'm new here too!

Not for me. I have heart problems...a lot of those drugs affect heart rhythm and blood pressure. They are definitely no good for you at all....cause way more harm than good.

Hi...My name is Deb. I'm 48 and need to lose 55 lbs. I have three teen boys and a 25 year old daughter. I'm also suffering from weight related illness. I have RA, high blood pressure and was recently diagnosed with Lupus. Losing the weight for me would mean less hip pain from the RA and hopefully I will be able to go off…
