GAH! Why can't I figure out how to send a friend request? Somebody give me a hint. haha. When I click on your name, it gives me the option to send a message but not a friend request. What am I doing wrong?

I am also vegetarian. Let me ask some questions to help me give you suggestions. Do you have access to a microwave when you travel? Do you use things like meat substitutes? Do you omit things like soy, processed food, etc?

Thanks everyone for your responses. I am enjoying it on roasted veggies. Very tasty. Even my 12 year old loves it that way.

thanks BigT!

I was diagnosed with MS 16 years ago. I started taking Copaxone injections every day about five years ago. I do have numbness in my legs at times. Mostly in the left leg. I do not think that MS has caused me to be inactive or overweight. I have done that to myself by having poor eating habits and being a cough potato. I am…

I am 46. MFP says for me to eat 1280 cals a day. My weekly goal is to lose 2 pounds.

thanks so much!

Every evening I have a Deep Chocolate Vitatop and a glass of skim milk. Keeps me sane.

wish I could lose thirteen pounds and go down FOUR sizes. That's pretty impressive. I have not expereince what you are talking about, but keep losing the weight. Nothing bad can come from losing excess weight. :flowerforyou:

Once when I was a kid...maybe 14 years old. I had this huge crush on a guy and was trying to look pretty to get his attention. Ummmm. He told me that I looked "like an elephant". THat was over thirty years ago and I still remember how much that stung.

Do you not do eggs cause you don't like them or cause you are at work? I nuke my omelet in the mornings. Two eggs, fat free cheese, spinach and mushrooms. Topped with chopped tomatoes. Love it and I get veggies in.

I just try to remember that once upon a time, it was ME who had the same old questions......course that doesn't mean I am going to answer it two zillion times, either. I just keep moving on....

It didn't for me.

Have you asked these same questions to your nutritionist? Surely she would have input.

Tell her "well, I wasn't gonna say anything, but since you brought it up, you do look like you are starting to put on a few pounds'.

Several years ago, I lost 150 pounds on Atkins. It took me two years. As long as I stayed low carb, I was fine. Unfortunately, once I came off the low carb lifestyle and started eating those trigger foods (at least they are triggers for me), I started gaining. When I do bad, I do REALLLL bad. Over time, I gained all that…

Do you still have your plan materials? I have recently switched from PointsPlus to the Simply Filling Technique. (the one where you mostly eat from "core" foods). I love it because I no longer have to count points AND I don't have to count calories. Is working well for me. Feels so liberating! Of course, it is still a…

I eat whenever I feel like it. I just make sure that I don't go over in calories.

Calculate the total calories for the entire dish. Divide the calories by the number of serving to get calories per serving.

When I reach goal, I will treat myself with a strand of classic REAL pearls. I love pearls!

I tried it and I really didn't notice an increase in pounds lost. It made me FEEL WEIRD. I had to stop taking it because it made me feel jittery and kinda irritable. Hope you have good results. Let us know. :wink:

A big candy bar. Not just a regular sized on, but a KING sized one. With a glass of milk. Obviously if I am going to stay on plan, this is not something I can do often, but sometimes I just have to go for it. BIG Snickers bar or a Three Musketeers.........:heart:

Know what I hate?? I am all finished having babies. I am OLD. I should not have to still do the whole TOM thing. WIsh there was a magic button you could push to end the TOM when you are no longer in baby making mode. :grumble:

I works. You will lose weight following it. Just be prepared....if you ever go back to a diet even moderately high in carbs, the weight will come back. I know this from experience. It happened to me and to my husband. If you choose very low carb, you will have to stay low carb. Forever.

He cheated. Bust him. :noway:

I am going to assume that you are joking..............

I eat a Deep Chocolate Vitatop with a glass of milk nearly everyday. YUM

I have a desk job too, but nothing nearly as exciting as a crime scene investigator! I work in an Eye Bank. I love my job. It is very rewarding, but the years of sitting on my butt all day really shows! I have read about sitting on the exercise ball, but have never tried it. I try to do things like ankle twirling to keep…

I took Paxil for quite a while. I did not gain weight on it, but it made me SOOOO SLEEPY! All I ever wanted to do was sleep. Long afternoon naps when ever possible. It was horrible. I changed to Wellbutrin and stopped all the excessive sleeping. I think no two people respond the same way. I hope it will work well for you.…

With the miracle noodles or shirataki noodles you have to RINSE RINSE RINSE. THey smell awful until they are rinsed VERY WELL. THen they are ok. Just ok. They sort of feel like you are chewing rubber bands, but at least they don't taste fishy any more.
