My neighbor has chickens, it's become very cool to have chickens in areas that are not farmland now. I go to his house and get 1/2 doz for $2, which is a bargain where I live, and they're delicious. I'm almost addicted to eating them daily, and I use kosher salt on them. So good. And I fry them in coconut oil, and piece of…

I'm 53 1/2 & have a LOT of weight to lose. Please add me if you like.

I just read something that there's a correlation between IBS and bloated stomachs. Mine is always huge & I have IBS. I also read that coconut oil helps with this issue and though c.o. helps with chronic fatigue for me, I haven't really seen a reduction in belly fat, yet.

206.1 tonight! Yay me! Will be 205 in the morning and then possibly 204 soon. I really want to be under 200 by Valentines Day when we're going out and I will eat MANY calories at that dinner but it's worth it.

Back up to 207 due to binge eating disorder, am trying to get back to 204 where I was before I sabotaged myself. And want to be 199 by Valentine's Day.

Ok so that was almost a month ago? Update pix please!

I like it! It might not be totally accurate but I'm putting on my "update" because it's motivating. Thx!

205.3

205.2 - this morning.

Blendtec, it's light and it's amazing! Look up "Will It Blend" on youtube! Be impressed! We have one, it's fabooooo!

I do it every day too. Cool group, I can't right now as I'm injured but will bb after injury is better.

I've thought about that vacuum sealer too but you gotta refill it with the brand's seals....so it's kind of off-putting to me. But we are also kitchen gadget *kitten* here as well, and kitchen tool snobs! Blendtec - with the larger Wild Side Bottle as well as regular one Staub - (better than Le Creusett) Cuisinart Food…

That's very interesting Alice. I haven't spent years but I've lost 40# eating as much pasta and bread as I want within my calorie range and I have been here the entire year. In fact, I've recently started losing again, the only reason I did not lose was not counting calories, which is why I'm here, counting calories works…

I can't vouch for the paleo thing as I'm not on it, but possibly increasing your protein could be a good thing. I would say to up your abs to daily or 2x per day, I also have the worst abs ever and I find that if I start doing abs daily there are changes, good ones. You can do abs every single day, they don't need to…

Call the Dept of Weights & Measures to complain and they will check it out.

Rosetta Stone which is, for me, the best way to learn :)

I'm 53! Send me friend requests please! MFP is really sticky about not sending more than 5 friend requests out even though I tried to friend everyone on this thread!

So inspirational! No pix yet but my stats: Height: 5'4.5" SW: 244 CW: 206.1 - hopefully 205 in the am. GW: 105? 100? IDK till I get there, when I was a teen at 115 I looked a bit chunky, as anyone can see from mybodygallery.com that everyone is different. Body type - X but can be way too heavy on the hips, but supersized…

I'm here, just in a bit of a struggle myself, you can do this, and I've been here OVER a year and still have just under 100 lbs to go. SIgh. Keep on going down the path!

Mine is open, in fact my profile and everything here is open. :) Sending you a request.

You're amazing. I hope you find this funny - but I thought if this girl had been on the run as a criminal no one would recognize her! You look completely different! And yeah I want to echo the others - you have amazing legs!

I've been here a year too. Friend me if you like! Oh I lost most of the weight till summer too, then have lost almost 0 since!

Some info here http://www.lifeextensionvitamins.com/chitosan.html http://doctor-oz-show.blogspot.com/2012/01/dr-oz-fat-burning-supplement-chitosan.html I'm not seeing any corroborating info on Pyruvate.

I have a weight loss group for 50-100 lbs to lose here at MFP http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/1026-50-100-lbs-to-lose- That's what I have to lose myself. It is open to everyone. :)

Get the Your Shape Evolved 2012. I even have a group here for those of us doing it. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/1025-your-shape-evolved It's on Kinect. I have been doing at-home exergaming from the very first one that came out - Your Self Fitness, years ago. A year ago we bought EA Sports Active 2 - which WAS…

Wow, how insensitive of your doctor! It is WORTHWHILE! BTW invest in a HRM (heart rate monitor) so you can mark your calorie counts here. The one at MFP is general and I think everyone needs a HRM to show correct cals. If you get one, trust me, it WILL make you feel good. Heck, housework and folding clothes counts on your…

Popcorn! It's low cal and will fill you up! 2 tbsp of unpopped kernals + some powdered cheese, I usually put some brewere's yeast on it, and voila - you will FILL UP and it will be max 125 cals! :)

Since the 70's, it started gaining ground. Possibly in the 60s but I was too young then to realize what was going on. Maybe we can trace it back to when the UK decided that Twiggy in the 60's was the ideal form. I think that might have started it. Twiggy has lashed out at the size 0 trend in the not too distant past, she…

I just looked at your food diary again and you could technically cut down on cals by not doing so much whey protein. I understand you did a huge monster workout but what if you set your daily cals to 1800 say, and saw what happened from there? I have no idea what cal counts you're set at by MFP but what I found is that…

I agree that you're eating way too many calories. You need to reduce your calorie intake. One thing that MFP did for me was put me on 1700 cals per day. I did not lose weight on that cal count. I made it 1300 cals per day and I lost weight. I also do a lot of exercise and cardio. BTW, I would suggest adding cardio in on…
