totally agree about your lifestyle comment:smile: thanks for sharing your thoughts

our son has EE too. Perhaps we should start a group about this??? There is a great book called "Cooking for Isiah" written by a pastry chef whom has a son with gluten and dairy intolerance. You can use any flour that works for you all. I have modified several of the recipes as at this time we are avoiding beef and chicken…

girl you are back and looking beautiful :flowerforyou: thanks for sharing your story and journey. Very insprational:heart:

I took a quick peek at the you tube post - quite lengthy - but I got the gist. I don't think I could pick one over the other, both contribute in different ways. Since you asked - I feel that a balance of nutrients is the way to go, avoiding trans/saturated fats, going with the healthy fats, complex carbs, fruits grains…

WELCOME:flowerforyou: Glad you were able to realize and verbalize your past history of yo yo dieting. I think you have figured it out and not get it - this is a journey to our best health for the rest of our lives, not just for a wedding, holiday or event. Cheers:heart:

oh my gosh, to both of you ladies - WONDERFUL:smile: :smile: :smile: such an inspiration. Any words of wisdom???

great post - thanks - gets one to thinking. I have noticed that my ankles are no longer a bit swollen I have noticed that my posture is better I have noticed that in general I am eating better I recently discarded the last pair of pants that fit when I joined MFP - broken zipper and all. Clothes that I have not been able…

well done:smile: just yesterday someone commented that I had lost weight. Nice eh? NSV's rock!!! Keep up the great lifestyle:flowerforyou:

not a runner, but have been in your shoes. Now put the crying behind you and move on!!! You are fabulous, wonderful, awesome:smile: :smile: :smile: Just look at where you are, how far you have come and where you are going. We all get down at times, but please be kind to your self :flowerforyou:

glad to hear that the end of the book addresses how to continue with best health. It is all in the delivery - sad that you had to include the part about rocket science........................:flowerforyou:

there is so much posted about making sure you are eating your calories. I have not taken a peek at your log, though you stated something which made me curious. It is so important to eat a variety of healthy foods including a balance of carbs/grains/protein/fiber/fat. I believe if you use the MFP tool you will have provided…

some of us have issues with body dysmorphia - seeing something that really isn't there. I am wondering if you have before and now pictures to compare. so many others have mentioned that they did not feel they were making progress but when you see the side by side, there are definitely some changes. I know you shared…

most excellent everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right after I post I am going to do day 3 of 30DS. thanks for the inspiration:heart:

though I do not suffer from such conditions - I wanted to share with you regarding an article that I read about today regarding a research study for individuals regarding "fecal transplants". Fecal matter is collected from a family member - in this case the study was done with children, so collected from healthy…

hormones honey! emotions are interesting things along with cravings that seem to appear out of no where! what works for me is weigh in one time weekly, noting when TOM is present. This past week caught me off guard, I was anticipating a loss, and was the exact same weight as the week before (have to be glad that scale did…

it is my understanding that when you eat too little, your body perceives it is being starved and the metabolism will slow down to save energy, thus not losing, gain??? Regarding fat storage - not sure, but again may have something to do with body not getting adequate nutrients. Hoping others may have some more scientific…

i am coming up on 52................ as mentioned I have been logging intake. Activity has been minimal d/t hip issues, however I recently started 30DS and need to get in the water!!! I have been aiming for 12-1300 calories per day <32 grams fat per day - some days a bit more, but usually always under ~38 grams fiber ~22…

SUPER SUPER SUPER:smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: YOU LOOK AMAZING:heart:

love it too:smile: some one responded "LMAO" - oh, just figured this out, me too:smile:

jump start it will be, but what happens when you go back to what ever you were doing before? i have not seen this addressed by Bob on the few sightings on shows recently. anyone recall hearing that a "diet" is just the word DIE with the letter T added on the end??????? I really dislike hearing the word diet as this is so…

WOOHOOOOO:smile: I absolutely can relate to the fear of failure that you describe. I have been attending a weekly group (in person) and writing down calorie/fat/fiber intake. Soon we will be moving on to monthly meeetings and I worry about the reduction in face to face time. I know that I have MFP that will continue to be…

WOOHOOOOOOOOO:smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: thanks for sharing - time and time again the 30DS proves a winner:heart: I recently started and have been modifying d/t hip issues but I know that I will still see results:smile:
