There are always exceptions. In addition, my first thread I started i forgot to check the responses. It's possible she's tuned out. So I ask because I don't like to assume or generalize.

Original poster, are you even following along anymore? With a lot of the comments you received, I'm wondering if you've either changed your mind and don't want to do your cleanse OR so turned off by your responses that you aren't reading. There are some threads and groups about juicing that are helpful. Also feel free to…

Can you elaborate on what you're doing, not doing, and what is not working? Maybe a small tweak will get you going.

Perhaps you are losing more fat than muscle. That would account for that. Are you eating enough or getting any weight training in? Or if you've lost a lot of weight, a smaller amount of fat could still equate to a higher percentage of body fat. It sounds like you are serious about your health, so keep up the consistency…

Ok yea that's how I am when I'm trying to lose. Any little thing in like ooh that's a calorie burned. It can get borderline obsessive.

Estimates. Try to overestimate too. Be mindful that your logging will not be accurate and try to stick to eating at home for the rest of the week so you can weigh and log food accurately.

I want to follow along but not sure I understand. Are you seriously saying healing blisters burns more calories? If so, where did you find this? Or are you saying the ridiculous things we think of and connect it to weight loss? Maybe staying up late and not sleeping is one of those ridiculous thoughts of things that burn…

Hmm fascinating. Always thought raw food was the way to go. The raw eaters I've seen always look so great for their age and seem so healthy. I have no scientific evidence to add to this but will be following along to learn. I love my cooked food so I'd be happy to learn if it was better than raw!

I like crock pots because of their ease. You can throw the food in and walk away! If I'm really crunched for time, I put a meat and veggies in the crock pot, put it on the lowest setting, go to work, then come home to a tender juicy dinner.

Pie better watch out around me! Lol sort of embarrassing :D

Looks great! Question, what made you pick Diet Chef over its competitors. I've bee thinking about Hello Fresh, Diet To Go, and Blue Apron. Just haven't had to guts to commit to one yet. I'd also like to say that I'm sure you're still applying CICO rules. So when you're done with Diet Chef you won't have to go back to CICO.…

I believe that climate change is real but from what I learned, the major changes won't be in our lifetime. It's our children's children that likely will suffer because of it. I want a hybrid car but they are just too expensive for me. And I typically don't drive very often so at least that helps. I keep lights off if not…

I interact with all of my friends. I only respond to up to 4 posts/per person per day. That's what I am talking about above...I explain in more detail in 2 or 3 prior replies.

There you go adding words again. Guess you can't help it. My friends are not my slaves or workers. They post as much as they like. I can't allow them to do anything and never said I do. I allow myself to respond to 4.

Ok not sure if you intentionally add words or if you're just naturally imprecise. Again I will help point out the inaccuracies. I did not say I allow THEM. I said I allow. That's what I allow myself to comment on. 4 posts/day per person. They can post how much they want. I just won't respond to more than 4 in that day.…

Yes everything gets a comment unless they post more than 4 things that day. I allow a response on the diary, a workout, login streaks, and one random personal post per friend. Of course all my friends don't always put up something. I have a small friends list so it doesn't take me much time at all. If you read the entire…

No not that. Because I don't want to know why my past friends did it. And I don't want a public profile so that doesn't help me. I don't want my profile blank. If you read the thread in its entirety you will see I was satisfied with the info I got in this thread a long time ago.

Absolutely...I think it's just kind to do so. I understand if others aren't willing to do this, but then please don't request me as a friend.

Thank you. I agree with your posts totally and thank you for it.

I know that I can't exclude others but my post was not speculative nor did I ask others to speculate. Others can answer my question without speculating. You said people can only speculate to reply to my post which is simply not true.

Thank you for your thoughtful post. I would say that many of us that ask for friends that reciprocate positive energy don't REQUIRE encouragement. My initial concern was the perception that they were only takers and thought it was just not polite to not acknowledge your "friends." And initially thought those people were…

I didn't ask people on this thread to tell me why my former friends behaved that way. I want to hear from people that do this to others, what their reasoning is. That's not speculation.

No I asked why did the people that do this, do it. No speculation there.

@WinoGelato Your speculations are wrong and full of inaccurate assumptions. Again, I ask that you please stay on topic.

Thank you for your speculation but I'd like to keep this thread on topic. Perhaps a PM if you want to chat.

That's a possibility. I'm sure it happens sometimes. But the vast majority of the time I can see when they comment on another friends post and it's very rare.

@JaneiR36 is right on with her entire reply to you. My intentions for this post was not to get more friends. I've stated throughout the thread I am not looking for any. I specifically wanted to know why the people that never comment take the time to request friends. If people happen to find someone they want to request as…

I do! I don't expect the same in return but I expect something.

The "show more" option is such a pain. I hate clicking it because it's so slow to load on my phone. And when you comment on a post after that show more option, then your screen resets back to the first few posts and you have to click the "show more" option again to see the posts at the bottom of the feed again. If I wasn't…

I notice who comments because I have a small number of friends. Whenever I find that I have a "friend" that never responds to me or others or never comments on posts, then I delete. There is no magic number that I use to determine if they are interactive enough, just those that are completely mute get the boot.
