I read part of it...the Author's premise is that the wheat manufactured today is Genetically Modified (GMO) and does not represent the wheat of yesterday. So for some people it causes lots of problems.

Protein will satiate you like no other food......eggs, meat, Greek yogurt, but eat lots of quality protein.

You should start by thinking what you like to eat now, and then find similar recipes.... I made this the other night.....very good, and chicken thighs are pretty cheap.... http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/soy-hoisin-chicken-thighs-50400000131792/

Hello from northern Indiana!! Welcome!!

I bought a really good scale with the Tare feature. I love it! Couldn't lose weight without it!

I don't count non-starchy veggies....if they are greens and I'm eating normal portions I don't count it. I count all fruit because of the sugar.

Way to go!!!! There is hope for us all!! :smile:

Is it Regular ice cream, or diet? Some diet foods contain Inulin...I cannot digest that stuff at all! Just a thought....

Thank you so much!

Fruit and veggies are a priority. Then protein....eggs, tuna, nonfat Greek yogurt, chicken.....then low cal breads, wraps.....then condiments.....low fat mayo, mustard, ketchup, low cal salad dressings....and buy some spices to spice things up!

Put "plan appropriate" sweets in your home. I love Skinny Cow frozen treats, Vitalicious dark chocolate Vitatops. Whatever your sweet tooth, you can find a substitute. And get rid of the fattening stuff that throws you off plan.

We are all strugglers...you are no different! Be kind to yourself! I guess you have to ask yourself how badly you want this. Are you setting up your environment (kitchen, fridge, work area) to support your new eating habits? Do your loved ones support you, or are they sabotagers? Are you overly stressed out at this time in…

It annoys me when people complain about posts! We are all here to help each other! Weight loss is more complicated than that else we all wouldn't be here! You don't seem like a very patient person. I suggest you find another message board....like for intolerant impatient people!!!

My goal currently is to fit into all the clothes I already have! ha! But since I am a girly girl, I would say clothes, jewelry would be great rewards. Maybe a facial or a body massage would be nice too.

Oh my...I will have to try this!! Thank you!

Organization and determination!

I am! Although the support is awesome, it almost means her being who she is right now isn't good enough. Plus isn't their money in one pot? My husband and I don't have, "my money", "your money"....it's all in one pot. Weird!!!!

How will you know your progress if you don't have a scale? Where will you be weighing yourself? You could probably find one in a hospital, YMCA, etc. But if you don't have concrete goals and no way to measure them, then yes, you will be lost. What if you got in your car and didn't know where you wanted to arrive and just…

I can definitely see a difference! The people around you are blind!! ha!! Great job!!

Wow!!! Great job!!!!

I love all the websites you mentioned!! I stay away from Hungry Girl, because I think she uses too much processed foods.....

Oh bummer....the link said the site was down for maintenance.....

Bolthouse Farms makes a great line of dressings...made with yogurt and low calorie. It's in the refrigerated section near the salads. They are yummy!!!

You look wonderful!! Give yourself a giant pat on the back!!!

I'm 51! Power to the 50 year olds!! We can and we WILL do this! And we will look smoking hot!! Woo hoo!!!

Chicken pizza on flatbread! Chicken wrap with spinach, red onion, tomatoes! Chicken stir fry! Oh the possibilities! :smile:

Excellent advice here! Why keep those temptations around??

You sound bored just talking about your menu, let alone eating it day after day. You will HAVE to change it up to be able to stick with it! Why are you picky? When was the last time you tried something new to eat? Think outside the box...you will be happy that you did! :happy:

Awesome!! Stand up and take a bow!!

Great idea!!! I will have to try it!! Thanks so much for sharing!
