AND CONGRATS on 300 lb weight loss! Way to go.... :) Very inspiring!

Good info, I guess it is just something to be aware of - rather than track to the gram (like I do protein) I just looked through my diet log and it seems like that darn salad kit (and dried cranberries) had the most sugar. More than a handful of carmels. I am starting to notice a difference because to get to my protein…

Great info, thanks everyone. I have one treat a day (around 150 to 200 calories) - not "diet" food, but real yummy splurges. Like today I had a few carmels. And that is where most of my sugar is coming from. The only other thing that I tend to add sugar to is oatmeal and sweet potatoes. I need to break the brown sugar on…

I love a cup of rice, diced fire roasted tomatoes, a little corn and steak with fajita seasoning. Takes minutes to make and yum!

LOL! Thanks for the smile!

Wilmington here!

Red Peppers! Just slice, sprinkle on a little olive oil and pepper and broil in the oven for 5 minutes. I dont peel the skin off - just eat as is! yum!

I only weigh monthly. I am going more by how my clothes fit.

I mix 1/2 cup southwestern style rice (get in the freezer section), 1/2 can of fire roasted tomatoes, 1/4 cup corn and 3-4 ounces of steak marinated in fajita seasoning. Yummy and filling!

My Food Diary is public as well. I tend to use my diary to plan ahead and add/delete based on actuals. This helps me stay on track -so I am not caught at the end of the day with a deficit or huge overage. My goal: eat about 1,400 (in healthy calories) and aim for about 100g of protein. Loose 30 lbs. I walk 6 days a week at…

Great site: http://www.celluliteinvestigation.com/ I really, really recommend dry brushing. It has made a huge difference for me. Edit to add: lotions are only temporary; if you want to go this route for a special occasion look for one with caffeine

Try dry brushing. Moves the lympth and thickens the skin. Takes just 5 minutes a day. Totally worth it

We took measurements and used the calipers (sp??) and I am at 33% fat. yikes! So, if 1g per non-fat pounds that would be 103 grams per day. Never head that - thanks for sharing. Yes, I guess I am over thinking this. I just adjusted my protein goals down in my settings. I am just going to try to reach at least 1,300 a day…

I tried so hard on my meal plan for tomorrow to hit 50% and there was just no way I could do it. I don't think I will ever hit that high - LOL! Maybe I need to change my ratios of protein/carbs/fat to be more realistic.

It's strange. Since I became heavily involved with my yoga practice this past year, I am really struggling to eat meat. It feels heavy in my system. And I don't feel good physically after eating it... I feel sluggish. All I crave is raw vegetables and fruit. I have added chicken and beef in but still want to look for…

WOW! I am just so pleasantly surprised at all of the support that is available here. Thank you to everyone. Lots to think about! :smile:

thanks everyone! I know.. as soon as I add a protein bar in I am over in carbs. I forgot about egg whites, great idea. I made a plan for tomorrow (included foods I am going to eat and exercise). Would someone mind taking a look? I made it public! I really appreciate you guys taking the time to reply. I just want to do this…
