I am doing it with Mcdougall, which, while it is extremely restrictive on animal products and added fat, it does allow me to eat unlimited quantities of great plant based foods.

I have realized that I didn't real do a lot of housework - I had the kids do just enough to keep it from getting really bad. Now that I am working on changing myself, I am taking on a lot more of the stuff that just didn't get done before. Heavier and more detailed stuff that never got done before. When I do these, I get…

Definetly not crazy. If I buy something special that is on my food plan and I save it to look forward to over time, I have to write on it with sharpie. I live in a house with my mother who is demented, my husband, 3 teenagers and a 9 year old. It also irritates me NO END when they throw away items that I buy as part of a…

My current food plan is vegan low fat (McDougall), so a veggie no cheese loaded at subway, a bean burrito fresco style at taco bell, a veggie at burger king, baked potato with side salad at wendy's....most of these work into my food plan just fine except for the sodium. Sodium is a BIG deal for me lately, and I am trying…

Hey everyone! So glad to have found this group! My name is Marie and I am a nurse in TN. I am currently working private duty with a contract for a year, and am hoping to be 100 or so pounds lighter by next summer so I can go back to working in a facility. SW Feb 2012 - 456.8 pounds BMI 76 Current weight - 432 BMI 72.9 Goal…

me too. When I have a sudden gain, it tells me I need to be watching my sodium (unless, of course, I earned it by eating). RIght now I am up 10 pounds in 2 days, but I see the sodium in the last few days. today I am shooting for 1000mg, tons of water, and will see a difference by tomorrow. It also keeps me from being…

I am in the 435 pound range. I do my cardio inside and at home because if I get chest tightening I can stop and not be out in the middle of somewhere that I have to keep walking to get home. At the gym, the equipment stabs and pokes literal holes in me (statiionary bike) and I would still have to drive if I needed to stop.…

Today is day 3 and I feel like crap. Major headache and fatigue and irritability. However, I am noticing that I have not had to change my urinary incontinence pad today. Could the diet actually be helping with that problem, or is it just a good day today? I usually go through several changes by now. Maybe TMI, but if it is…

Mine is SLOW. But I know why - I am not doing the work. I am recommitting a new start date August 1 with my husband. I am going to do 20 minutes of intentional exercise 20 minutes a day 5 days a week, doing McDougall's maximum weight loss diet. I am really excited about it, as my husband has agreed to do 30 days with me.

I most definitely am a follower of this approach. the more I do my food in this direction, the faster I lose and the better I breathe, walk and feel.

If you have larger tortillas, upside down on a coffee cup works too. I have a couple of the tv deal baker bowls I found at goodwill, but I will be able to cook a lot more faster for my family of 7 by adding this to another rack on the oven. Thanks!

plain m&ms that I let melt in my mouth one at a time. Also, the dark stuff gets the craving satisfied quicker with less sugar.

My doc sometimes calls it an apron.

I love mio, and I drink loads of water when I use it. I just ran out and added an entire tub of crystal light generic into the bottle and mixed it with water to the top and am using it tonight. If you have issues with incontinence, artificial sweeteners are not your friend. Neither is not drinking water. When I stop…

Your numbers Obesity Index 157bmi You have a higher BMI than 100% of females aged 30-44 in your country Global Above average You have a higher BMI than 100% of females aged 30-44 in the world Did you know?

Well, I have made a concentrated effort to stick closer to FFL this month and since the 3rd, I am down 12.2 pounds. So, I am thinking, DUH! Do what I know how to do and see results, maybe? I am eating more, feeling fuller and losing faster. Thank goodness I came to my senses and am so grateful for the loss this month.

Amazing difference. What an accomplishment! A great example for you kid, too.

Seriously?? I have to lose a lineman????? WOW.

I have pockets of skin forming between my legs and it is really uncomfortable sitting on them wrong. Already with only 25 pounds down! Anyway, I will think about doing this.

You are amazing! Thanks for showing me it can be done.

I have over 300 to lose and am sending a friend request.

That is awesome!!!! You have done some amazing work.

From over 400 lbs, When I do a video, I have to modify just about everything. I half time march, skip the turns, and do what I can even if it is marching while they do whatevers. I agree with moran that you can figure out the target muscle group then find something you can do at the same time. Keep going!

It bites. My friends are pretty much online. I suck at the real world.

Eating when not hungry is a big pain. It is the hardest habit I have ever tried to break. The things I am doing to stop include gardening (only 5-10 minutes at a time, but it is a distraction), cleaning something nasty, logging in to MFP or facebook to distract myself. Hot tea, water, cold tea, water, black coffee,…

I swear by flashcaredmachine.com I have the app on my droid and I can study everywhere. Look in the database there are tons of AP cards already made, and I know I have put a lot of A&P stuff in there. I am doing my LPN to RN bridge online and am almost finished with A&P as well.

Thanks scinamon. I was feeling like an idiot seeing it all over these boards but not having a clue.
