To our profound horror and dismay, the good folk of CA are moving to Texas in droves. :yawn: God help us! I am envisioning another Civil War limited to one state. :explode:

What raises my metabolism by boiling my blood... 1 - The Vegans and their accusations of me being UNmoral and not evolved enough to care for the animals. 2 - The folks who tell me I don't understand the results I got from my WOE and that I am wrong in how I eat. 3 - The Low-Carbers who attack and tell me I should eat more…

Somestimes, Moms forget we grow up. I was almost 50 when my Mom passed, but she still tried to tell me what to do. Sometimes it made me angry, but then I would remember that I am her baby and would always be. I wish she was here to see my progress and my grandchildren/greatgrandchildren. Enough with the sad story. You Mom…

Hello. I am a little confused over what you are obsessing over. Is it 1--the time spent on mfp, 2--the process of beling accountable for what you are eating, 3--the number of calories you are eating. If it is 1, then set yourself a time limit. Sometimes, I TOTALLY overdue my time here! It's addictive. lol If it is 2, you…

So sorry you were treated that way. I get it! For the folks blasting you about being upset, what is eating yall? The OP was hurt by rude behavior of twits. It was uncalled for. It makes her feel better to talk about it and get some support. I don't blame her one bit for being upset. I didn't get the impresssion it was…

WWWOOW.. Thanks to all of you....I NEVER expected such a response. I am not offended by anyone's comments. That is the true joy of being old enough to have a 40th reunion! I appreciate the advice and will tally the votes soon. I wish I had bought the new bra BEFORE taking the pics! lol. all the dresses look much better…

low carb, moderate protein, high fat -- works great for me and I am 58, diabetic and hypothyroid. tried low carb and low fat. Lost at first, then never again. Started researching low carb and found LCHF, decided to give it a try and I am happy with not only the results, but how I feel! Best advice is to do your homework.…

You GO FOR IT. I was very heavy when I started to swim--beached whale in a swimsuit. I could NOT swim 1 length of the pool. I would swim one and stop and rest. Then I got down there and back---whoohooo--my FIRST LAP! Then 3 laps, then 5, then 10...and so on. Last month I swam 32 laps--ONE MILE! It took over an hour, but I…

Go Libertarians! and thanks for not taking offense! lol. you never know sometimes--some folks just too serious! for some reason, I just find it funny that Bill is vegan....I always imagine a big juicy steak and a whiskey before the cigar....

ALWAYS the 'politician'! Don't the Democrats know they already have most of the Vegans? lol. Y'all don't hate on me---it's all in fun!

unfortunately---tiny little waist is something I don't have---I am the eternal apple shape!

wow. Look at those pretty cheekbones! Congrats & you are Gorgeous! Keep up the good work.

ps. Forget about your sister, etc. The best policy is not to respond--period. Just smile. Change the subject. I was at a luncheon the other day, where everyone was eating heart-killing fried food. Yep, I admit I drooled for half a second. Then i thoroughly enjoyed my greek salad with shrimp. A few folks actually made…

I, too, (in all my infinite wisdom---lol) seriously think 1380 is too low for starting point. If you gained 100 pounds (like me) then your body is used to eating a lot more most likely. Please don't think I'm rude because I am only speaking from common sense and because I am YOU too! Maybe a good starting point would be…

I am no expert, but I have read enough to know that 1200 calories for a guy is way too little. Even if you weren't exercising-and you are! 4 miles/day is great and burns--especially for a guy. Men just burn more and lose easier. You are under 30 lbs from your goal. Why don't you try eating at least 1800/day and see how you…

There are lots of low-carb recipes here and you can just google it too for hundreds of good ideas. I make Oopsie Bread and Muffins in a Minute, low carb pancakes. These things keep me from feeling deprived and are filling and delicious. Even my skinny hubby loves the Oopsie Bread. You will find more recipes than you have…

I dropped wheat (I am diabetic and 58) and didn't notice a lot. Then I dropped ALL grains. The weight started moving down again and I got more benefits that I ever imagined. Seasonal allergies and the daily claritin went AWAY. I haven't had a headache since I dropped the grains--seriously. My constant gassy tummy became…

Do a search on Muffin in a Mug or MIM. There are every kind you can imagine. and seriously easy to make. little peanut butter on apple low-glycemic fruit yogurt (watch the sugars) celery with cream cheese small handful of nuts

wow. you look GREAT

You can cut carbs faster than that. Maybe cut 30-50 carbs per week until you get where you want. That should help you avoid the 'carb flu" if that is your concern. I mean, you could spread it out longer, but I think if you cut each week you should be fine and get to the carb limit you want faster, which is faster weight…

DoNOT try to eat zero carbs. You should go no lower than net 20 carbs minus fiber. Yes, it is a healthy diet, Yes it is sustaininable and there are many many of us doing this and feeling great. There are also many who will call us stupid or crazy, which annoys the &(**& out of me. It is fine to have opposing opinions, but…

ooops. just remembered you are diabetic. so don't go crazy on the fruits. Have you tried low carb, high fat, moderate protein? Do some research on that. it won't free you from having to eat veges---they are still good for you. and the 'fixes' I mentioned still work for a diabetic (i am too). there are lots of recipes for…

zuccini and yellow squash have almost no taste. When I make chile or spagetti sauce, I cook them for a long time to blend the flavors (make sure there is extra liquid). About 15 minutes before eating put in lots of finely chopped squash--not pureed, but close. The squash disappears into the chile or spagetti sauce. Also…
