not sure you are still having problems... ? we can chat if so
-
are you doing the diet too - or just yoga and eating healthier in general?
-
I feel your pain. My mom has a number of health issues, and has been hospitalized a number of times - won't go into details here, but suffice it to say, that her sodium is STRICTLY monitored. we can't even buy reduced sodium things because she is limited to less than 140 grams per serving. Many reduced sodium things are…

Thank you!! :)
-
thank you so much! do you recommend the program other than the diet? To be honest, I'm trying to avoid dieting altogether, and just want to focus on healthier eating and moderation (a moderate deficit from TDEE for example) just wondering if the results will still be noticeable. I'm already looking into Yoga to improve…
-
can anyone elaborate on the "diet"? is a it just healthy eating or specific calories or macros.... just curious..
-
Thanks everyone ! I had seen a counselor many many years ago. at 2 separate occasions for some traumatic events. She had done the 'tapping' thing with me.. and while I can't remember much about it, I do remember it. I did a little of it last night, and I think it helped. It's more like a meditation thing I think - focusing…
-
Thanks to everyone with the helpful replies. The most beneficial ones I think were the hot water with lemon - hadn't thought of that one. I do drink it from the tap - just cold from the tap. I think part of my problem is losing weight generally can make you feel cold more easily too. I just wanted to find a way to…
-
hmm.. really? Whining?? I had a legitimate question and asked for some suggestions - and received some valid replies. If you were trying to do something healthy, and it made you feel sick, and you STILL wanted to do it, so asked for help on suggestions - since WHEN does that qualify as WHINING. Get off your high horse. I…

THIS! - Best answer! I know I have to increase my water, and I don't have any problems drinking it - as a rule. My biggest downfall is that I just forget. That's truly all it is. I don't avoid it, hate it, not like the taste of it, etc. I made a conscious decision to work on that today, and was planning on having a large…

1. Current weight (optional) : 224.6 (down from 236.8 lbs 9/28/13.) 2. weight lost since last week: 2.8 lbs 3. Other accomplishment or NSV (non scale victory) for the week: Noticed my pants were not as snug! AND I am finally back to where I was earlier this year - not at my lowest, but - made it back to where I was when I…

Hello!!! I forgot to post last week - but am here now :) 1. Current weight (optional) : 227.4 (down from 236.8 lbs 9/28/13.) 2. weight lost since last week: 2.4 lbs 3. Other accomplishment or NSV (non scale victory) for the week: not remembering anything at the moment! 4. Goals for next week: Keep following the new diet…

Hello!! Can I Join? I found the group following My friend Lynette - but forgot to check in on Wednesday. This will be from my Wednesday Weigh in - I just started back on plan on Sunday so I was 3 days in by this point.. 1. Current weight (optional) : 233.6 lbs. 2. weight lost since last week : 3.2 lbs. ( was 236.8 on…

Hey Buddy - I think I'm gonna try with you :) I may have to adjust that goal if I get preggers again (fingers crossed), but I'm going to just move forward and see what happens. :) IF I haven't said it lately - you're an AWESOME inspiration and a great friend...

so here is a question for u. I have a coworker who is the same age as my mom. when I realized this, I was in awe because she is working and doesn't have any serious health issues. my mom on the other hand has MANY and it is hard to see her like that. I told my nearly 70 year old coworker that I thought she was doing…
-
Thank you. I don't think it's related to the miscarriage - unless just having it somehow triggered the flare up. The area of the pain and where it has been has been stomach and or small bowel, which is way north of the cervix/uterus. I had a D&C about 2.5 weeks ago and I think things are ok from that. I do wonder if the…
-
Thank you SO much - the 2 drs I called from last year, were actually the surgeon who did the endoscopy and the Gastroenterologist. It doesn't sound like either of them tested for celiac - and I don't know that I have it - but I am getting suspicious. last year I went on the paleo diet for a couple weeks. My stomach bloat…

Simply, what I mean is this: when someone says "YOU ARE FAT BECAUSE YOU ATE TOO MUCH FOOD", the images are what, at least SOME PEOPLE, are envisioning. Volume, amount, etc. if we take this at face value, and really that is all it should be, as when someone makes a comment they're not thinking deeply about calories in and…
-
True - however - since the "IMAGES" depicting "TOO MUCH FOOD" are undoubtedly displaying what I was talking about, it means that a significant amount of people view these images to represent what "TOO MUCH FOOD" means. i.e., I'm far from alone in my opinion.
-
OK ok. I give up. As my closing argument, I leave you with what GOOGLE defines as 'too much food'... per google: http://www.google.com/search?q=too+much+food&client=firefox-a&hs=gtt&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=92kAUuvkJaHhygGX4oGoCg&ved=0CDkQsAQ&biw=1138&bih=480 obviously I am not…
-
Again, we can agree to disagree - but - calling me snobbish and superior is a bit backward, as I never claimed to be the only one with the correct view. You can say it all you want, but it won't change the fact that you feel your outlook is the only correct one in the world - and there is nothing more snobbish than that.…
-
Hmm.. referencing the definition of 'snob': being or characteristic of a person who has an offensive air of superiority and tends to ignore or disdain anyone regarded as inferior Per Merriam Webster - funny though - ones acceptance of others opinions and not claiming that their own opinion is the only one that is correct,…
-
I am sorry if you think I was being rude - but implying that your opinion is the only one that could ever have any truth to it and the rest of the world agrees with you, without anything to back it up - well I am at a loss for words to describe that view other than what I used. And obviously you are discounting my personal…
-
LOL. OK - Find me the public definition that meets what you listed above, and I will concede. To me, it just looks like we have different opinions. Let me let you in on a secret, just because someone disagrees with you, does not mean that they are wrong - or that the rest of the world is wrong. I'm simply saying that…
-
Not to everyone. Obviously. We will agree to disagree. if said example switched out a protein shake for the milkshake, it may take longer for the one to gain the extra weight, but he still would. And the amount of food would be the same Roughly. My definition of 'too much food' is based on quantity/volume. "too much FOOD".…
-
Still think you're missing the point. at least my point. I've had people give me big eyes and "OMG are you going to eat ALL THAT??" when I sit in front of a massive salad, filled with various veggies, maybe a chopped apple and some chicken. My response is 'HELL YES!" calories? eh - let's say probably around 400 ish…
-
*sigh* true - but really? we're stretching a bit aren't we? The odds of someone gaining weight from eating too many low cal foods are just, so low that it doesn't seem worth mentioning. but yes, you are right. :indifferent:
-
ahem. I never referenced morality. Just because a word has been used in a religious/moral context, doesn't mean it doesn't have a valid basis - as defined by merriam webster: Definition of GLUTTONY 1 : excess in eating or drinking 2 : greedy or excessive indulgence http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gluttony And…
-
Who said anything about making excuses? It's a pretty basic fact that a calorie imbalance is what will lead to excess fat, or lack thereof. No excuses here - just pointing out that 'too much food' if that food is veggies, isn't going to make you fat. Yet a normal size cheeseburger, fries, and shake, when eaten regularly,…
-
I'm not sure I agree with this - my personal experience is that if people generalize the 'too much food' rule, they just think people that are overweight, eat tons of junk food all the time. this is not necessarily true. Two people who eat exactly the same, workout the same, and are otherwise burning the same number of…
