I'm in!

Find some grass finished or pastured beef and pork too. Tofu is awesome when you saute it and get the outside a little crisp. Soy beans can be added to a salad. Most any bean will work in a salad too. Look for pastured eggs too. Eat food. Not a lot. Mostly plants.

Half a cup is NOT always 4 oz. Always ensure that you know if you are measuring. 1/2 C dry is a volume measure, not a weight measure. 4 Fluid oz is half a cup because that's another VOLUME measurement (you should be using different cups for dry and liquid BTW). Half a cup DRY measure can vary greatly in weight depending on…

I love F1. Actually, any racing where they turn in both directions but F1 is the pinicle of that. I just try to catch what I can, but since we dropped the cable I have to everything from the computer...:P It's just not the same.

I've lost weight drinking only full fat milk...granted it's from my cow share, so it's raw milk from a pasture fed cow and has more Omega-3, more vitamins and minerals, oh yeah and ALL the natural enzymes your body needs to process it since they haven't been killed by pasturization. Plus it's so good it tastes like there…

Way to stop hammering nails in your coffin...I mean great job not smoking...;) *People who quit smoking make me as proud as almost anyone...great job!*

exercise...sit ups, push ups, leg lifts if you're at your desk (or at home on a chair). Get your blood pumping and your mind off the food...you are either bored...or thirsty...so drink a bunch of water WATER too...those should help...if not when you have pee in about 20 minutes that will take your mind off the food for a…

Welcome Adam...I'm right there with you...the worst part is you can't quit food cold turkey...:P

If you're asking us you already know the answer. What you're looking for is for one person here to yes, "Sure you can have it!" as justification to aswage your guilt. We know these tricks, because we all play them ourselves. Once we can step back and answer our own questions, and not look for an easy out, that is when we…

Make them earn your money...be there all the time...;)

Sometimes the drastic changes we make as part of our new lifestyle can shock our systems into losing weight, and quickly. Be sure that what you are doing is something you can continue for the rest of your life, with minor modifcations. You'll only need to change from losing to maintaining at some point. Good luck and…

Chaulk one up for the Hubby. Pasta is dry measured.

Have you tried any other methods before the medication?

Since your body breaks down the fructose in sugar the same way it breaks down alcohol, you might have just had a mild reaction to your body disposing of all that poison...;) Next time eat your fructose with fiber (ie eat whole fruit) and you'll feel much different...;)

Do you have the option to rent a locker at the gym? If not then leave it at work, and apply it in the bathroom when you first arrive.

Um...1 cup of milk has about 30% of your calcium, and 9 grams of protien. 3 1/3 cups of milk, 100% of calcium, 30g protien. Eat more green leafy veggies. Customize your goals and up your protein. Do what works for you!

*In his best Elmer Fudd voice* "Kill da Wabbit! Kill da Wabbit! Kill da Wabbit! Kill da WAAAABBIT!" Rabbit stew will be better for you than all the candy he'll leave anyhow...;)

Just don't try to cut it with a torch...I hear that can leave burns...:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Speed plays a factor too...your best bet is a HRM.

Funny post...but great job! Keep rockin girl!

Is your cardio fast and hard, or slow and easy? What incline do you walk at and what resistence is the eliptical?

If the carbs you do eat contain fiber, you're fine.

Reading it now. I have read his other works, "The Omnivore's Dilema" and "Food Rules" and I don;t think you can go wrong following the man's advice. Brilliant.

Weight loss is 80-90% about what you eat. Eat right and you'll still lose. Plus you have all the motivation you need...get your butt in gear or kiss $60 goodbye. Must be nice to be able to throw away $60...wish I had it to waste.

Why are you watching your carbs? Watch your refined sugar intake. Eat any food you want for breakfast...it doesn't have to be "breakfast" food.

What the heck are you planning to eat that's 2,000 calories? Change your planned menu! I ate pizza until I was sick last night (stupid, stupid, stupid) and it was only 2,700 calories. Don't quit on today, but sure as hell revise the plan for tonight!

Spend time (brushing your teeth, cooking, etc) standing on one foot at a time. Balancing this way will help strengthen your muscles/tendons/ligaments that control your ankle joint. Once you get better at it, do it with your eyes closed.

No matter what you hear, you CAN NOT spot reduce. You'll just have to keep working and eventually it will come off. It din't go on in one day, and it won't come off in one day. Make sure your vision of how you "think" your body should be changing is realistic. This isn't a sprint. This is a marathon and we need to be ready…

Thanks Brother! After the debauchery of overindulgence at dinner:sick: , I needed a little pick me up:sad:
