Wow! Great weight loss! You shouldn't be discouraged at all!!! If you were able to live, eat and sleep only being concerned about your weight for 4 months, you would have lost it much quicker. For those of us who still have to deal with real life, it is much harder. TBL started to prove the morbidly obese could accomplish…

Great conversation. Bumping to read again! Wow! Y'all are smarter than me!!

Same here! I have changed my activity level, the amount I want to lose, etc. I have 50-60 pounds to lose and MFP always sets my goal at 1200. I adjust to 1400 and eat back some of my exercise calories. It works when I am diligent! I couldnt get through a workout on 1200. I drink a gallon of water a day with no problems! I…

It's $6 every 2 weeks. That's $3 a week. That's 2-3 candy bars a week or a candy bar and a coke or a bag of nuts or a box of popcorn. Why are some saying it is so expensive? It is a great marketing ploy as was the Big Mac Attack or fast food playgrounds or the Geico gekko. Great point about the whole fruits and veggies. i…

:love: :flowerforyou: :love: THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!! Directed to Tambam! I'm in like Flynn!

I have 4 kids, ranging from 18 to 11. My boys were both chunky at 9. They couldn't do pushups or pull ups. My 11 year old son and 13 year old daughter tried to do pullups tonight and couldn't done. I cant do them! My 16 year old is now a buff football player. He can do pull ups! I worried about him wen he was 9. We have…

bump for later. Thanks!

Same here!! One tv in den and one in living room. 4 kids with no tvs in bedrooms. They are just fine! Their friends don't seem to mind watching tv with us. Our house is the hang out. Maybe they like some parental interaction!

Carnivore is a meat protein powder. I love the chocolate flavor. I add a 1/4 cup milk for creaminess, 3/4 cups water, some ice, maybe spinach, a banana or peanut butter. It's delish.

No watching TV at dinner! WIth 4 kids, dinner time is talk about your day time. Scientific studies prove families who eat dinner together have less problems with drugs, peer pressure, etc. Besides, I cook for an army and my kids know their friends are always welcome. I am amazed how many NEVER sit together as a family for…

Thank you for the help and this thread AND especially the inspiration!!! :flowerforyou:

How do I upload a pic?

:smooched:

cook with an iron skillet. It leaches iron into the food.

How well do you know your doc? Trust him? I ask because here in TN, lots of "medical clinics" only prescribe phentermine, lipo shots, etc. They don't do ANYTHING else and make a TON of money! I hope your doc is not prescribing because it is a money maker. I went to 1 clinic. It was a hole n the wall. I lost some weight but…

Howdy, Neighbor!!! I have a house in Saltillo, TN. I will be retiring there someday! Love Pickwick!! :flowerforyou:

Hey ya'll!! Oakland TN checking in! We are right outside of Memphis so I am your neighbor, OP! I'm a transplanted yankee, born in Jersey. I've been here since 5th grade so that must count!! I tell my kiddos they are Rebkees or Yankels, whichever they prefer!! :wink:

Any opinions on beef protein powder like Carnivore?

What a wonderful world Amazing Grace

You burned the 15 calories starting the thread!!!!!

^^^My body lets me know if I don't get my gallon in. I start my day with 32 oz. A shower for the inside. On days when I work out in the a.m., I drink another 32 oz. In a very short period, I have to go #2. I do think it has made a difference for me. Even if it is mental, it is still a difference! When I focus on getting my…

in for the bro science! :glasses:

HMMM! SOme interesting points were raised. have to be honest that I only ued cardio machines at first. Then I added some machines. I then added a personal trainer who stuck to machines. I got bored kind of quick. She was smart enough to recognize and put me with her strength coach. BAM!! It was magic! I haven't touched a…

Ice cream needs to be frozen hard though. His junk should be hard too!! That will teach him!!

bump cause I only go to page 8! :grumble: too tired tonite for the drama. Expect to be more rested tomorrow!! :laugh:

GET RID OF THE UTERUS! And the ovaries and the womb! Makes a HUGE difference!!! :bigsmile: I didn't lose 20 pounds like I had hoped, though!! :cry:

YOU CAN DO IT!!!! :happy: Oh wait!! :ohwell: That isn't what you wanted to see, was it? Hell, no it cannot be done! Are you freakin nuts?!?! :grumble: You'll go into starvation mode but instead of starving to death and becoming a skeleton, your body will hold onto to every morsel and turn it to fat and you'll EXPLODE into…

in before the roll!! Nw, I have to go find the 1st thread! :bigsmile: Why don't we have a strong arm smiley?

WHo has time to sleep? Too busy checking out the MFP forums. Some of these are better than se... well, sleep anyway!! :bigsmile:
