Try some yoga poses. The gentle twisting and stretching might help move the gas along.

Hi jaidann, your right sometimes it seems tough to find an entry that allows precise tracking. Here is a tip, try to search your food adding the word "gram". Using your example, I searched for " rice Chex gram" and the first one that popped up age options for a 1 gram serving so in your case you could listed 29 servings.…

How about pozole soup ( it's got hominy, and your choice of beef or chicken or pork, whatever your personal family preference) and then you have the toppings of your choice. Or Albondigas soup (Mexican meatballs soup) . Maybe some fajitas too. Yum Mexican !!!!

Congratulations on the 17 pounds lost! It's hard to stay within your goal sometimes, I know! The previous posters have given good advice and comments. Here are some of the things that work for me. I would try to figure out some lower calorie (yet still satisfying) substitutions. If I really want something In particular but…

I don't think there is anything wrong with 80% carbs, if you are feeling ok and meeting your weight loss goals. It's about CICO, and there are an infinite # of combinations variations with that. I've dropped over 50 pounds. I usually eat 3 whole fruits for breakfast. Lunch is often baked potato, beans, veggies. Dinner is…

My idea is a make your own "fruit bouquet " . You could even ask him what are his favorite fruits and incorporate those. Just google "make your own fruit bouquet" and you will see what I mean.

Taco salad! Oh man it's so easy and so good.

Don't forget to weigh and log all your food and stay within your reasonable calorie goal, like 1 pound a week. Kudos for walking 5 miles every morning, be sure you are properly fueling your body too! For motivation, maybe think about WHY you want to lose the weight. And keep that in the back of your mind as you make food…

As an experiment, just give up all dairy. Then think about how u feel. some people end up feeling very different---and I mean they feel better, lighter, healthier, after going dairy free.

Many fatty dishes at a typical Chinese place. What about some steamed rice-and portion it to meet your needs, and maybe ask for steamed veggies/meat on top? You can add soy sauce. It's simple, but a relatively nutritious choice in my book. And maybe some wonton soup!

Have you tried steamIng them, instead of frying? That's what I would try if I was trying to soften them up.
-
i would probably just pick one that is about in the middle (not the lowest calorie count for 250 g,and not the highest amount for 250g either).

What about making a friendly weight loss wager with a small group of friends or family? We did that a few times in my family---about 5 adults each put up $20 and we went for a specific period of time. Like 2 or 3 months. At the end the person who lost the highest percentage of body weight got ALL the money. It was fun!…

for an afternoon snack, i like to slice up a cucumber and sprinkle chili powder and salt. its crunchy and spicy and salty and so good!

Don't double dip!

What I think is a miracle is the vaccine for chicken pox. Both my sister an I have scars on our faces from when we had chicken pox. But my niece and nephew got the vaccine so they probably won't have to endure that miserable illness! Or long term scarring that can have effects on a persons self esteem.

don't give up! stick around and learn from others on this forum.

Amen!

I have read quite a bit about Dr. McDougall and while I'm not sure if I agree with everything, a good deal of it makes some sense to me. When i experimented with it and ate according to his recommended plan, I actually feel really good, probably because fatty or oily foods often upset my stomach. I encourages veggies,…

File this away as something to try...Overeaters Anonymous. I feel better about myself after I attend a meeting.

I shop mostly at Vallarta Supermarket, and Sprouts. The weekly specials at both of these places keep me well stocked with healthy food at a great price! The state I lived in previously, I shopped at Giant Eagle!

I suggest that during this trip you set your calories to "maintenance" and then get some exercise in each day. This way you won't derail what you have accomplished thus far, but you dont' have to stress quite as much being in an environment where you dont have total control over your food prep.

Not sure where you are located, but if you go to Applebees, the Thai Shrimp Salad is good. And listed at 390 calories.

My suggestion is to go on some shorter trips with one or two people who are experienced, in preparation for your week long trip. they can share tips and teach you the basics. I did that and I learned SOOO MUCH!

Thank you for supporting the girls! When you see Girl Scouts selling cookies, the girls are learning so many important business skills and people skills by interacting with customers and taking part in this important money-earning activity.

Please don't say you were bad for eating pizza. Pizza is a food that can be consumed, unless you are allergic to one of its ingredients. Don't beat yourself up for eating pizza.

Acheben, good idea about the Fish Tacos!!!

Some mexican places have a chicken vegetable soup, that might be a positive choice.

Hello mandy220750! you should be commended for coming to this community where you can get support and learn from others! You will find it here. You said that you would like to go for walks, well that sounds like a great thing to do. Its understandable that you say you can't walk too far, but that can change. Maybe start…

maybe you could look at a photo of yourself 30 pounds ago and then right away look in the mirror. You might then see what your friends/family/coworkers are seeing.
