Everything in moderation. . Generally if you are counting the calories. . there should not be a problem. . I prefer a nice red wine as it is only 80 calories for 4 oz versus drinking beer. . That and the lack of carbonation helps me not to bloat up. . The other thing you have to look at is the sugar and sodium in whatever…

NICE JOB!!! I am looking forward to one day being able to say that I have got to ONEDERLAND!!! Thanks for being a great inspiration. . . You should post pics though. .. WHY NOT? You earned it!!!:bigsmile:

Feel free to add me. . . :bigsmile:

With all that you are currently doing. . I must agree with one of the other posters on here. . . I would focus on measurements more than the scale at this point. . It would be a much better indicator of how fit you are getting. . Fat takes up a lot more room than muscle and is far more dense. . So you will be dropping lots…

:flowerforyou: That is TRUE however the body processes natural sugar differently than it does processed sugar. . and if you are eating the right fruits you are getting a good amount of fiber with that as well. . . Have you ever done a raw foods diet? I did a 3 day fruit fast once. . lol compliments of the Master cleanse. .…

ABSOLUTELY TUTUELY. . . . . What a great way to state. . . Different things work for different people. . . There are so many ways to achieve your goals. . I think educating yourself and taking many different insights to what works for others in forming what works for you is a great way to come up with a good plan. . .…

Very well said. . . Congrats on being able to maintain your weightloss. . That is a feat in itself!:bigsmile:

THIS was not INTENTIONAL. . . and as I said i would I went and re-read the rules. Here are a few I found to present to the posters on this thread; AGAIN: This was supposed to be a respectful and inspirational thread. I don't appreciate people coming her to INTENTIONALLY crashing the topic. FOR those of you that STAYED on…

*TO THE MODERATORS. . . SO sorry. . . *Hey. . it has been a while for me. . . but yes if you must know I was one of the reasons groups were created in the first place. . . :heart: And HEY if people that want to share find my group. . . . that is all I want . . a SAFE PLACE people of faith can share on this journey. I had…

[/quote] So you know the rules of the site, willingly violate them, and then blame others for the mess you created. Yep. You're a real Christian alright. [/quote] Actually I have not been on here in about 2 years. . . so I will have to read all the new ones that have been instated during my absence. . . PEOPLE could just…

Yes, that is one of my favorites. . *Yes. . . and it is sad that there couldn't just be a nice bit of INSPIRATION. . without drama. . I don't know why if you don't share the same beliefs you don't just STAY AWAY. . . Please leave so that those of us that want to share scriptures can. . *SIDENOTE* I already put it up for…

^^^THIS:heart:

:smile: Congratulations. .. That is both amazing and inspiring. . .Thank you for sharing. .

What a fabulous reminder of how wonderful,:heart: loving:heart: , and caring our Lord is. . . One of my favorite wall hangings is FOOTPRINTS in the SAND. . . As you said so beautifully. . . God is in control & is right there holding our hand guiding us. . .we have but to take it and listen. . . :bigsmile: GOD bless you for…

:bigsmile: Thats awesome. . . I am so very proud of you. .. .

Wow you're amazing. . . Thank you so much for the inspiration. . . I need to lose over 100lbs right now and seeing your success if truly encouraging!!!:bigsmile:

What's to say you can't be a certified physical trainer and a registered dietitian? Just curious?

I was not the one ATTACKING people they were attacking me, for simply giving the creator of this thread my opinion, based on what I have came across. . . But I remember why I stay out of forums. . . There are too many people that show up in these that are judgmental, and cruel, oh and KNOW EVERYTHING. . . I am a Christian…

Not that I need to defend myself, but I am a nutrition major in college. . . You know like a university. . . lol and yes there are nutrition courses available through ISSA as well. . .

Yet another opinionated ill informed excuse for a human being. .ISSA AKA .Internatiional Sports Sciences Association provides a 2 year course and they have many other classes available to further my education. . . You might want to look them up online then at least you would know what you are talking about.:bigsmile:

:heart: Today my dear daughter turned 14 and had a fun time with her presents. . . That makes me smile.:bigsmile:

Sounds fantastic. . .Thanks for sharing!:bigsmile:

Thank you for that. . . love your thoughts. . .In my experience I did lose weight when I adjusted the type of carbs that I was consuming. . . But as I said earlier every body is different in how it reacts. It largely depends on your activity level too. . . and what kind of training you are doing. . .Some people need the…

Well everyone has a right to their OPINION. . .including you, but coming from a Christian standpoint I would have to and say: Don't judge others lest you be judged accordingly. I was not here to be attacked by others, but simply to offer my thoughts to the gal that started this thread. We all gave opinions and what she…

Those were from a long time ago, before they came up with the idea of having the group function. . . where people could come together on a specific subject and having the ability to moderate your own group. . . lol. . I am one of the reasons they formed groups. . . I had the first Christian Group on the site. . .

Frankly sir I have better things to do with my time! Oh like train people. . . I came here to help someone not get a load of crap from someone like you. Just because you have something that works for you doesn't mean it works for everyone. . That is why when working with clients they have a program customized to them.…

LOL. . . Unkind people are just that. . . as well as a smart alic exactly why I usually stay out of the forums, because there are people like you that are terribly rude.

So I suppose that you are a certified trainer and know what you are talking about right. . . As I said, all I have to do is consult my ISSA text book or references like BOB HARPERS BOOK. . . but feel free to tell him he doesn't know what he is talking about. . . Everyone has an opinion and you are entitled to yours. . . As…

If you need a second reference to this you might pick up a copy of BOB HARPERS BOOK " Skinny Meals" And Please feel free to tell him as a physical trainer that he doesn't know what he is talking about. . . I think his record speaks for itself!:smile:

I am about to certify as a physical trainer and yes if you eat complex carbs for dinner unless you are doing a late workout they just sit in your system while you are watching tv and sleeping. . . now fruit and veggies in the evening are okay. but breads rices, and pastas should be eaten earlier in the day.
