You poor thing Hi! Welcome! Ignore the rude mean people in the forums lol.... only pay attention to the nice ones. There's your warning! lol Seriously, most people are friendly and helpful. Good luck with your journey :)

Really :( I hijack this ridiculous thread with the history of poop and my post goes completely unnoticed ? ouch. :cry: I must be so UNH.O.T lol :sad:

lmao!!! So appropriate!

That's awesome! Do you have more of those? lol

"What they called pooping in the mid-1700s would be what we’d call farting today. It would only be slightly scandalous to say, “The groom was so nervous, he pooped in his trousers three times during the wedding ceremony.” Of course, also in those days, the word groom would have referred to a servant who brushes horse tails…

Im almost 5'2" and my goal weight is 125 to 127. But I'll see when I get there.... :)

:heart:

I am sorry, but while I admire your wish to help, you are wrong in your advice. there is ZERO evidence to prove that low fat diets are more successful in the long run. We need fat. We especially need more healthy fat. Fat is not bad.

I think the original poster just doesn't understand that protein can be used as a healthy supplement instead of replacing three meals a day with it. And I think her primary language may not be English. And I think that she's just looking for success stories and confirmation that she can indeed, lose weight with diet and…

I really would skip the alli. It forces you to remove most fat from your diet and doesn't teach you how to change your lifestyle. Plus there is risk of severe gastro discomfort if you accidentally or not, eat too much fat. Here's another thing... Alli works by reducing your calories even further, because it allows fat to…

I also use mine as a journal some days about my overall diet and bowel movements and what makes me feel bloated or gassy, etc. I also put when I started my period. You wanna know all that? :bigsmile: I track many things here other than my diet. I like to look for patterns so I can understand my body from a medical…

Well I have my protein set at 30% right now, and sometimes go over. But I also eat quite a few veggies and fruits... I love them... Hence my profile picture lol and i know I'm getting my vitamins and minerals. I have studied nutrition quite extensively and I am considering it for a future career. I've read many credible…

That might be a good starting point too... I've considered that one and I'm still mulling it over in my head lol

Honestly, i think it depends on if you workout or not, I think heavy lifters need even more protein,, but I personally believe the 40c/30p/30f approach is a great place to start and see how it works :) don't worry if you go over on your protein and always try to get at least 1 gram per lb of body weight . Eating this way…

Look at sugar and protein content. You can't go wrong with Fage!

What is 50 gs of water please?

And are you seriously 52 ???? You look AMAZING!

I don't have any input about your weight loss, because I'm not a success story yet, but I am so sorry to hear about your Brother :(

My general excitement about getting back on track with my health is motivating my Husband to follow suit :) Enthusiasm is contagious, so keep up the good work and keep emphasizing the positives!

Yep! Roasted veggies are awesome! :)

Radishes are also great roasted! :) Actually almost all veggies are awesome and take on a different flavor when roasted. OP: try tossing some chopped vegetables like cauliflower, zucchini, peppers in olive oil and then roasting in an oven at 425 until they get golden brown... they taste amazing that way, and many iffy…

I use egg white protein powder, both GNC in chocolate and Optimum nutrition in vanilla custard. Whey upsets my stomach as well. I love these and they are both really low in fat and carbs. They are also quite tasty :) They are kinda high in sodium though if youre watching that.

Yeah I know. And I eat a ton of them. Had 5 for breakfast as a matter of fact. I can only do so many eggs.

lol, glad its not just me! I've heard that its beneficial to mix up your sources of protein, but I don't know if there's any truth to that. If you are allowed to have it, you should try the GNC egg protein, it's delicious! If nothing else maybe for variety :) What brand do you use that doesn't make you uncomfortable?

DRINK MORE WATER and then along with that fiber, you will feel amazing :)

Holy hell, that's impressive work! :)

Great job! Encouraging me to keep up the squats too! :)

Thank you for posting this! I am also gradually upping my cals, so this is very encouraging! I haven't seen a gain, I've actually seen a 2 lb loss, but I still have the huge fear in the back of my mind that my body is going to rebel against me for eating more!

Keep up the GREAT work!!! You look wonderful!
