You are still here and trying so it is a positive action!

I didn't think it was too bad when I tried one sent to me by a friend but I burped that vitamin-y taste and felt sick for hours afterwards. I drink Ideal Shape and love the flavor and consistency. They have a recipe site on Pinterest which might give you some ideas with Shakeology.…

Lemon water is fine but the claims for detoxing your system is BS. Your body has systems for this already. If it helps you drink more water then do it but in the amounts you put into water there are better sources of a number of the nutrients mentioned. People get toxic on meds, proteins and other elements if they have…

It is unlikely that you are burning 1000 calories in an hour, ever. Get a heart rate monitor or at least monitor your heart rate multiple times during exercise then use a site for estimating calorie burns based on that average. DOn't use numbers on machines or estimates on MFP, not reliable.

This^^ I think it still goes and it is not about who pays for the wedding but a nod to each participants parents.

The fact that you are here is a good sign. I have been "stable" in the 180's for over a year. I can't seem to get below that and it is frustrating. Recent issues with my decreased mobility and thyroid irregularities have put me back up to 192 and I am angry but I refuse to go further so I keep logging, I make conscious…

It is a bit of like or not like but what my daughter and I see is "is it popular?" So....... one person or group of people tells you this is the best thing ever and to be in with social media you go there too. I like one or two of Adlee's songs but not enough to buy the whole album. I have every album for elbow, Black…

I would stick to lightly active and just add calories when you do major exercise. I also use my fitbit to judge my activity level.

Just be glad it was long enough to find.....the short curly ones could go undetected!

If it is a great baked loaf (like in Italy where we never had bad wine or bad bread) then the crust is ever so yummy. If it is some pre-sliced crap from the store...I'll pass on the whole thing!:drinker:

Great job and now you know that pleasing yourself will lead to more success. So stay healthy and the rest will follow!

You've been on the site since September 2012, lost 9#, log more Quick Calories than actual intake and think you will lose another 60 # by November?? Popcorn and Reese's Cups are not a meal. Look at public diaries, eat meat, veggies, fruits in reasonable amounts, exercise and you will lose but not by November.

I have been on and off the diet soda kick and I do not believe it has impacted my weight loss either way. Avoiding said "toxins" can take all the fun out of life so I say choose the crap you want and leave behind those you can do without....a person could go absolutely nutso reading labels!!

I was recently educated that the trend of low hanging pants originated in jail where the lower you wear the pants the more "available" you are for new "friends"..... Can't stand it no matter why! Hate muffin tops on women too, it might be one thing to want to wear a certain size but take a look in the mirror before you go…

Women's clothing is definitely like this, not so much males. Yes many women will seek out that store where they can fit into the smaller size. I often take in 2 sizes with me and do not take it personally if the smaller size does not fit. The odd /junior sizes is another thing all together, not made for folks with hips and…

I was 283 when I went to Scotland and just asked the fight attendant as they went up and down the aisle. They were discreet about it and you just leave it there when you exit the plane. I know have room to wiggle about :flowerforyou:

Looking awesome! If the short hair was the result of the cancer it was a good thing, really cute cut one you!
-
Keep some hard boiled eggs around, cheese, nuts, cooked meats. use citrus fruit juices and grated rind to flavor your sakes a bit
-
Good article, thanks. I have always known I was emotional eater and still struggle with it. I feel sick when I get to the end of an eating binge. I recently got the "brain training" CDs that are encouraged with the protein powder I ordered and found myself actually responding to them. I am going to continue to work with…

You are in situational depression which is perfectly normal after a loss. If it lasts for over 5-6 months consider seeing a therapist but give yourself time. Get sleep, benedryl is a handy otc med at 50-75mg max. Spend time with your baby, do something with him/her that honors your Gran or that she did with you Talk to…

If I am going to drink a beer it has to be a good beer and I will work it into my numbers! Otherwise I will drink water!

As long as it is not a daily thing eating well under calories is not a big deal once in a while. You should not eat if you are full and had a satisfying meal
-
I hear you! I have low points where I might not be supportive but it is never more than a day or two and I say I need a break. I never comment on folks who do not have open diaries cause I don't know if they are just under their calories or eating 500 calories and therefore under. I too have deleted folks who failed to…

Open. I make some meals that hold up well cause it is just me (soups, salads) I cook various components like grilling a bunch of chicken tenders, veggies par=cooked to be quickly finished on a rough day. Even salmon and mahi can be cooked ahead and pumped up for tacos, of salad with pasta or all veggies. I love to…
-
I also like to mix about 1c brown rice, as many sauteed mushrooms as I have available (splash with just a bit of balsamic vinegar at the end of cooking) Tofu cooked the same way as the mushrooms. I set this aside then take 1/2c or more to mix with a bunch of cut up spinach. Again oil/salt/pepper to taste! I am not a…

Chop veggies, cook and slightly cool the quinoa and toss together…

Ate everything (bread, pasta, Pizza) and drank wine and limoncello) for 3 1/2 weeks and lost cause you walk and walk!

Your sedentary BMR is 1500, adding in exercise you should probably be eating more in line with 1600-1800. You are stalling the engine of your body! If possible use measuring devices like cups, spoons and food scales!
-
Spaghetti squash, tomato marinara, ground turkey breast with a sprinkle of parm, roasted brussel sprouts! Maybe some balsamic berries after my stretching class.

Thing is that men tend to lose weight quicker than women as well so he is really lagging. I will make my own smoothies but as far as Shake-O goes, it is a processed food so not one I would choose especially when the flavors sound so unappealing even by users!!
