I do unless it's just a slice to tomato or piece of onion for a burger or something along those lines.

I plan the meals, shop for the meals and cook the meals so we eat whatever I say we eat. I do try to take into consideration the things they like to eat compared to the things I can't fit into my calorie allowance. For instance, we all love hamburgers, I make myself a smaller patty with half a slice of cheese but lots of…

Unsweetened, shaken green tea has always been my Starbucks drink. It is very refreshing. It was made with Tazo Zen tea but I understand they have changed their tea lately and I haven't had the replacement yet. I might be switching to coffee soon!

Sort of but I don't call it a cheat day. I eat pretty structured Monday-Saturday so I give myself a break on Sundays. I don't go crazy eating but I let myself relax on logging a bit and eat a bit more spontaneously than the other 6 days of the week. If I have a mid-week craving, I fit it into my meal structure during the…

No special diet here either. Just keeping my calories below 1600. Sometimes I eat my exercise calories. Sometimes not. For instance, because tonight is date night with the SO, I have cut out one of the two snacks I allot myself and ate less for lunch just so I can have a 25 oz. Blue Moon with dinner. :) Oh, and will eat…

I am 5'10" and am shooting for 160. I started at 186 and hover around 170 right now. I am 47 yo now and before children, I was at 135. I look too skinny in those pictures. The last time I weighed 160 was after the birth of my second child, nearly 18 years ago. That weight will get me out of the "overweight" designation by…

Large romaine salad with carrots, tomatoes and red onion, 2 turkey meatballs and a half cup of ancient grains pasta and a miniscule amount of spaghetti sauce.

Health. I am 47 and have no known health problems and would like to keep it that way for as long as possible.

This. So much this. I am almost 20 lbs lighter than I was in mid July and have eaten hamburgers, French fries, chocolate chip cookies, pizza and beer. Not exclusively, of course, but I wasn't eating those things exclusively before then either. If you take your time losing the weight, you don't have to deprive yourself.

Love this recipe. Easy and quick to prepare. I have only made it on the grill. Jambalaya Serves: 4 Makes: 6 cups Hands-on time: 20 minutes Total time: 45 minutes INGREDIENTS: •1/2 lb raw shrimp, 26/30 size, peeled and deveined, tail on •4 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced into 1-inch pieces •1 all-natural…

I am 5'11 and was always on the thinner side hovering around 135 for most of my early adult life. I never thought I was too thin. That was just naturally how I was built. I didn't diet and ate whatever I wanted, just had a high metabolism and struggled to gain weight when I tried. I am 45 now and am at 180ish. My goal is…

The Kansas City Royals, beating the Oakland A's! Woot!

I wonder if the strips expire? I will have to check for an exp date.

Hmmm. At first I thought I was just dehydrated. I do drink a lot of water generally and kept better track today but I am still showing signs of ketones. I have a doctor's appointment Friday for another issue and will ask for their opinion/thoughts.

I think someone misunderstood my post, is having a bad day or off their meds. I am new to weight loss and working out and thought giving someone advice on quitting smoking, which I do have experience on, might help her. Gosh, I also thought encouragement might help too. I never insisted her light headedness was caused by…

Neverwinter player here. Never played WoW. I have always been too afraid of getting completely addicted. :) Used to love Pirates of the Caribbean though!

In addition to everyone else's submissions about eating more....quitting smoking will cause light-headedness/dizziness too. You are actually getting more oxygen in your body now and it will take a few days to readjust. Read up a little bit on what quitting smoking does to your body, or more accurately what SMOKING does to…
