Thank you for this. It really cleared it up for me :smile:

Ah, okay. So WW followers are sort of being duped by the fruit thing not being included in "regular print". Kind of a sh1tty thing to do to people. I know someone who is eating unlimited veg and fruit and I just don't see them losing much weight on unlimited fruit... and they're paying WW for this? Very sh1tty if you're…

Pretty much what I'm thinking, especially in regards to fruit. Fruit can have such a high sugar content that I would think fruit, in the least, needs to be logged. Mostly I'm trying to figure out why diet organizations like WW are touting this as a method to lose weight; is it just another "eat as much as you want" scam or…

There's a group called Reddit Keto or some-such. You'll find great ideas and support there.

For me personally when I eat processed carbs I get sugar cravings, bad. If I stay away from processed carbs the cravings fade. If you're looking for meal ideas, and have an Android phone, I highly recommend the app DietPoint. It has helped me tremendously in healthy meal ideas.

I learned that I don't need to diet, per se, but change my diet. Whole foods instead of processed, and as many veggies and leaves as I can stomach. I found a diet app on Android called DietPoint. I don't follow the diet plans so much as use it for healthy meal ideas. They're not kidding that you can lose 10+lbs a month in…

Yes What platform do you prefer? PC Favorite genre? Builder/Simulation/RPG Are you casual or hardcore? casual How many hours do you play a week? way too much Favorite game of all time? Baldur's Gate Single or multiplayer? Single Do you read gaming magazines? no

I agree with walk. I have severe arthritis in my lumbar and sacroiliac (SI) and there isn't a cardio exercise that won't aggravate the SI. I bought a pair of elbow crutches, that may do your ankle great benefit at this point, in order to keep the weight off my left (worse) side and I go as far as I can as fast as I can.

I had a total of 120lbs to lose (90lbs left to go) and am a huge miser when it comes to buying clothing in the first place. As we all know, every 10lbs your clothing is looking baggy and every 15-20lbs you just can't make the bagginess look good any more. If I bought new clothing every 20lbs I would be buying even a modest…

Go to YouTube and search for Launchpad. It's designed specifically for obese people.

Depends on the food; my worst triggers I can sometimes eat for up to 5 days before I notice a real difference, but then sometimes I notice a difference immediately. There doesn't seem to be any reason to it.

Do some research into FODMAPS. Eat the non-triggers for a couple of weeks and see if your symptoms go away, if not then eliminate one non-trigger at a time until you find the culprit(s) (when they say 'non-triggers' they really mean the foods least likely to trigger IBS). Once you got the non-triggers down, add one trigger…

At 5'11 I was 115lbs. Osteoarthritis reduced me to 5'9, and my heaviest was 260ish. Edit: "Ideal" for me right now should be 140

Cream. In everything you can think of. Make sugar-free chai teas or shakes flavoured with real fruits or lattes or frappes or soups or whatever your heart desires. Full fat, as in whipping cream at least, to boost your calorie intake.

This is suppose to be a complete meal. 350ml water (or 300ml water and a few ice cubes) 4tbsps cream cheese 1/8tsp allspice or nutmeg 1/4tsp salt 1tsp cinnamon (or less if you're not a big fan) 2tsp psyllium husk fibre Calorie-free sweetener to taste 3Tbsps Realemon 80-90g dark green leaves (baby spinach, baby kale, or…

This. I also have serious doubts about the accuracy of your food diary; with a deficit that ridiculously high you should be losing fat, and muscle mass, like crazy.

But, if you're heating the food isn't it like burning calories? :laugh: I'm yanking yer chain. I can't be overly serious about this thread.

I think dieting has become way too stressful for some folks. Does it have to be an exact science? Edit How are you eating it? Eating it raw? Then log it raw. Eating it cooked? Log it cooked. Both raw and cooked items? Log the cooked when cooked, log the raw as raw. Easy-peasy, no science involved. :huh:

I'm always 'that' weirdo at work :indifferent:

Google "cooking for dummies" or "easy 5 ingredient meals" and experiment.

Look if you like, I do find it flattering. It's the leering or suggestive looks I can't stand.

This sounds like me. Or how I use to be (I'm actually a bit better now). I am being treated for PTSD. If you're fuming all the time that is not proper nor healthy by any standards. Even without PTSD, major stresses can create this mental havoc.

I think everyone throws a hissy fit once in a while, lol. Stress can make us freak over tiny things... and yes, I do have tantrums about stupid things sometimes, I am embarrassed to say :sad: :sad: :sad:

Here in Manitoba, Canada there is Klinic, Winnipeg Harvest, and Siloam Mission. The best thing about donating to these three is that you can donate needed items instead of money. The Mission obviously needs volunteers, food, animal food, clothing, bedding, etc. Winnipeg Harvest needs food and volunteers. Klinic likes to…

If you're feeling sick, bloated, or just 'off' you might be drinking too much water. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it.

Oops, did my math wrong. But still too much water :tongue:

This, plus, anyone willing to rely on gossip for their info is not worth your time. Consider this a blessing in disguise and start a new network of worthy friends.

Or at least give more info than 'help'.

On second thought, decrease your water. I see you average about 160 ounces a day?!? Unless you live in the Sahara and exercise like a fiend... or have a medical condition... you do not need that much water. Have you heard of water toxicity? Research it and come to your own conclusions. There is no 'dose' of water that can…
