Excellent post! Noticed this too. On days when I paddle board or kayak I burn a whole lot of calories (according to my heart monitor). I keep my water intake high (mostly because it's hot now) but I can't possibly eat all of that back, and in THAT week, when I did it 3 times, I lost 2 lbs. (and MFP says I should be at 1200…

No, you're wrong. McD's ia a treat. Ice cream is a treat...candy is a treat. Blaming someone's lack of will power on the company that sold the product is childish and lazy. How about just saying "NO." Or maybe try to resist the urge to stop at the drive thru. By the way, McD's sells salads too and they're cheap. A head of…

I have an Oster blender. Just one switch on/off/pulse. It looks like a beehive. I love that thing. A friend had one in her rental unit and it lasted thru that abuse so I know they are sturdy. It pulverizes ice... no chunks. You can find it on amazon for around $50.

ditto to most of that.... never had squirrel. I will seek out fried okra!!

Hahaha... I like your answer.

The soups on here look great!! Here's a recipe for PastaFagioli my friend gave me. Quick to make. Has about 515 calories per serving. 1 Pkg of Spicy Andoulli sausage 1 Box of Low sodium Chicken Broth (I think it's 32oz) 1 Can Kidney Beans 1 Can diced tomatoes 1/2 - 1 cup elbow or shell pasta (I use Dreamfields) 1…

You know what... I hate it too. I really do and same here, no one ever told me "no"... "or you're getting too fat." Or even showed me how to eat. But I hate being fat worse. So I sacrifice (like the small changes someone else stated). You don't have to change your attitude, just decide what you want most... And don't…

Ah-hahaha.... Yeah occasionally they get me too. But I did see something in the news about a month or two ago that " The FDA is proposing to update the Nutrition Facts label found on most food..." and not a minute too soon. Who eats 1/4-1/2 a cup or icecream... please

A Time to Kill

I just sent a friend request. I'm a little late to the game but I'm in. I'll see how close I can get!! 5' 7 and a half CW 154 GW 140 tdee is around 1360 calories (off the top of my head) I'll log measurements tomorrow!! Congrats on all you losers (of weight)

Actually its not. Diabetics monitor sugar and starchy-carb intake it to prevent spikes in blood sugar. Oh by the way, they also limit thier refined sugar intake or end up later haveing to balance it with insulin. Fruit juice is more concentrated and is loaded with sugarZZZZZZ. Dude, Try not to make blanket statements with…

hahaha... yeah, I could do that

Just remember that what works for one may not work for everyone. What I described in my previous post (almost 8 hours ago) worked for me. Doing what I described took me from 215 to 140 (I'm 5'8). 9 years later and an L4-L5 fusion, I have regained about 15 lbs... it happens. There is a lot of good advise here. Make changes…

we are assuming this food wouldnt phase us right??? haha... a BAG of almond M&Ms

I know what your going through. Your probably loosing fat... muscle weighs more. I have to limit the amount of weight I use because I pack on muscle very easily. Here are some things that have helped me when I've hit a plateau. Please disregard the poor spelling. First measure yourself...in our case this will be your…

I also did the Adkins after having my son. Lost about 75lbs. Since doing the diet in 2005, I have changed my way of eating to something resembling Adkins but I agree, to sustain that diet is very difficult. Since starting the diet almost 10 years ago I have gained 15 lbs back. But that could be age versus metabolism versus…

I love your post...I almost fell out of my chair...where's that pulley system?

I never thought of it that way...makes sense to have lighter calories at the end of the day and energy in the morning...Probably lose more weight like that if I didn't have all the calories before bed/

Mission Tortillas have a low carb version. I use them for.....ahhh here it goes, my mouth is watering.....Home made quesadillas, tuna wraps, ham and cheese with lettuce and horseradish, pizza crusts (very thin), hamburgers, hot dogs, etc...they have 7 carbs per wrap. Give them a try.

My most recent attempt at Adkins... I ran into the same issue trying to essentially prepare two different meals...nearly every day. It's easier when the whole family is involved. While my family doesn't really need the diet, they eat healthier when I'm on it. More veggies and meats, less processed foods and junk.

Dr. Robert Atkins died on 17 April 2003 at the age of 72 after sustaining head injuries in a fall outside his New York clinic. My huband and I did the Adkins Diet. I lost a total of 75 lbs. My husband lost 41. We both loved the diet. After the first week, we lost water weight caused by our carb overloading. Midway through…

Love it...you are so right. I know exactly what she's talking about. It was never verbalized but I sure did feel it!

I too get the morning headaches. They feel like dehydration headaches (or a hangover) but I drink water all day. So here's my theory on why I have the headaches... Carbs make ME retain water. Since I have cut down on the carbs and started drinking more water, about 2:00am I really (I mean really) have to go (No headache at…

hahaha....come on folks...she's in "love!!".... EEEWWWW

SOOO, if you consume all your calories (but don't go over) and 80% of them are carbs...there's nothing wrong with that???? Say goodbye to a normal blood sugar level.

Try this on chicken: Emeril's Creol Seasoning: Ingredients 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika 2 tablespoons salt 2 tablespoons garlic powder 1 tablespoon black pepper 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano 1 tablespoon dried thyme Mix them all together (makes quite a bit) Store the…
