Your doing better than I am, neither my calories nor my steps will synch! I am thinking there is some kind of bug going on, it's happened before, hopefully it is resolved soon.

218.6 (no loss but it's my TOM so I'm not surprised by the number)

217.8

I'm hypoglycemic (I have the rarer form called fasting hypoglycemia), it hasn't stopped me from losing 31 pounds in the past 6 months. My advice protein, protein and more protein (which helps keep your blood sugars steady and from dropping drastically). Depending on which type you have, better choices in carbs or going low…

1) calorie goal varies between 1440-1900 2) sometimes, I go back and forth between The TDEE method and NEAT methods (I get my burns from a HRM and usually eat between 50-75%. 3 I've lost 31.5 pounds in 6 months (though I took a few breaks totally about 6 weeks due to kidney issues).

217.6

My confession for today, I was super busy most of the day and didn't eat. Instead when hubby and his friend got back from fishing we started drinking. After a few months with little or no alcohol and no food it didn't take long for beer 3 to make me tipsy and beer 4 to make me pretty sloshed, I'm now working on beer 6. On…

When we were trying to potty train my son I bribed him with a trip to Legoland, I'm now bribing that same son with a trip to Disneyland to get him the hell out of my bed and into his own.

I actually posted two studies. Both say the same thing high protein diets (double the daily recommendation can help limit muscles loss, though there is STILL loss). Also it should be noted that BOTH studies were done using calorie deficits equal to 2 pound per week loss, not a higher loss. Again both studies say there is a…

Here's another one: Which says the same thing high protein can help limit the loss of lean muscle,BUT they found there are limitations the protective effect of limited protein. http://mobile.nutraingredients.com/Research/Increased-protein-protects-against-muscles-during-diet-and-weight-loss-say-researchers#.VRb23oZHanM

Reading this study, eating a high protein diet may offer some protection against muscle loss, however there is still loss. http://m.advances.nutrition.org/content/3/2/119.full

I do the GNC lean 25 protein shake with a banana, almond milk, water and ice for breakfast, I just can't stomach food in the morning but need to eat to up my glucose levels (I'm hypoglycemic).

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who has limited local friends. I have several good friends though they live far away (either because I moved or they moved). I have a hard time making friends because I can't stand drama and I tend to stop talking to people if they continue to whine and complain about the same things…

I have a nutribullet and love it (I use it mostly for my protein shakes). Keep in mind my surgery was 25 years ago and the way they do things now have vastly improved (mine was a particularly difficult case as I had a massive maxi facial injury as a child that I had reconstructive surgery on, from a severe car accident…

This!!! I do good with my kids when they are sick but not at all with hubby. I'm so tired of the OMG I'm sick need peace and quite so I can get better, the world has to stop when he gets sick. However when I'm sick I still have to do everything I normally would, cooking, cleaning taking care of the kids. Even an…

The nutribullet doesn't take long at all (1-2 minutes) to liquefy stuff. You could do soups (though for the chunky types I'd run it through the nutribullet). You could do mashed sweet potatoes (I like them baked then mashed as opposed to boiled), mashed cauliflower, malt o' meal (breakfast cereal), I wouldn't try to eat…

I had TMJ surgery done as a teenager (they had to break my jaw, reset it and wire it), for 12 weeks I was on a liqued medical diet, then for 6 months I ate baby food (I couldn't chew at all, they finally realized there was a mistake during the first reset of my jaw and I had a second surgery (including breaking my jaw…

I just finished logging my grilled turkey, cheese and avocado sandwich. Worked fine for me, so it's either fixed or not impacting all users (if it matters I'm using the app on my iPhone)

My confessions for today... Two weeks ago hubby bought my a bag of Lindor truffles for our anniversary, today I ate the whole bag... As for kids and bedtimes, my 4 year old still sleeps with hubby and I.

I'm sorry that you're going through this right now. I do think that it's not that she's ashamed of you, it's that she's just not ready to come out yet. You can't make someone by ready to come out. It could be that the coworkers or best friend have said things in the past that make her think it's not safe to do so. One of…

I have a friend who lost 200 pounds (she was in her mid 30's and had been obese since childhood. She had a lot of excess skin when she hit close to goal weight, she continued to workout, reduced her body fat and now 18 months after hitting goal weight and 12 months after hitting ideal body fat has very little loose skin.…

Unless you've ingested to many pills or other toxin that requires activated charcoal (given by emergency room doctors), going through drug addiction detox or have kidneys that don't work which requires dialysis, you have no toxins which require a "detox", so save your money and eat less calories than you burn.

Awesome, thanks. Well I've got one for spam and one for abuse... Hmm that combined with having my witty and sarcastic profile photos reported twice makes me think I made someone mad...

I finally saw your peeps cleanse comments, thank you for the laugh. My next confession I kind of have an Internet crush on you after seeing it...

How do you find out how many times you've been flagged?

The gym I go to doesn't allow kids under 13 in the cardio or weight lifting areas, only the pools, tennis courts and basketball courts. I'm shocked that your gym allows this behavior

I ordered the watermelon ones the day I shared the link for the green ones... They should arrive tomorrow, yum!

I do eat meat just not pork. However the laxative brownies would be going to the "friend" who slipped bacon into my food.

I hate to say on a no judgement thread that I'm judging but I'll confess I'm judging. I don't eat bacon because it's made of pork which I don't eat because of my beliefs. I would be mad as hell if a friend did this to me, And would likely follow up with a batch of laxative filled brownies (to be given to the "friend" who…

After my time today at the gym I have two more pet peeves to add to my list. Those who get on the treadmill next to you and 5 minutes into their workout answer a phone call and get into a screaming match with their boyfriend on the phone. I had my tunes cranked on high and could still hear her every single word. Though I…
