that i gross. I don't mean to be rude....but ????? You seriously need to stock your freezer and panty with something that isn't pure fat for when you don't want to cook. And I am on High Fat, Low Carb...but that seems like a not-so-good choice. I would rather be 800 under that drink that much dairy fat. I keep string…

awesome. gorgeous. amazing. such a great inspiration for so many of us!

GREAT job. you are beautiful!

me too. I am 58. It is tough losing for us old birds! It has taken me 1 1/2n years to get this far and I'm not done yet! I'm vocal, so if you eat crap, you might not like this Texan....we can be outspoken....but never RUDE (we are Southern, after all) ! oh my...just checked you profile. I love WA state. So beautiful. Mt…

it works on the computer but does not on my phone app. Also I am just subtracting the sugar alcohols if I have an atkins bar or something. I don't want to subtract my fiber yet because I want to see my total fiber to be sure I am getting enough. So in the carb column, i just subtract the sugar alcohols and leave the fiber…

yep, there are always a few folks who sound a little rude.....I guess they voice their opinion stronger in writing? it sounds like you prepare amazingly good food for your family, but you are short-changing yourself in an attempt to lose the baby weight. I get this..I do. But unfortunately, you are starving yourself and…

OH, wow, If you are nursing you really need to eat more. And your lil' darling will definitely benefit from Mommy eating her veges! and, please up those good fats. You Both need that! Real fats are not the enemy. They are important for so many things and that precious little one needs the good stuff. Good Luck. Keep us…

I understand how busy a Mom you must be and the healthy shakes you defended are a quick easy meal. You don't have to ditch them, but I wouldn't eat more than one a day. 19 grams of sugar not so bad once....but somedays you had 3 and many days you have 2. Try to keep it to one/day. Where are your salads? Where are 'any'…

Quest bars are CANDY is disguise of healthiness! You will not realize it is actually not a regular candy bar. Atkins chocolate covered coconut bar is basically a 'Mounds Bar' minus the sugars!

Sorry about the jobs. But they WILL come. Especially with the weight loss, because people DO discriminate. Go for a delicious healthy Subway sandwich instead of the burger! Tho I am sure the burger fits into your calories. Have lunch and walk off the frustration, knowing the job hunting WILL get better with better health.…

It is you mIL. Be respectful....WITH YOUR HUBBY involved too. Respectfully tell her that you love her and appreciate her attention to her grandchild. Respectfully tell her you will not have junk in your house, that you are teaching daughter to make good choices. Respectfully tell her NO when she insists on junk. Your child…

You DO sound like an awesome guy. And pretty dang smart too. You do know what your challenges are and I believe you are strong enough to handle them. Therapy, as suggested, is probably a really good idea. While being unemployed is rough, it gives you an advantage like the folks on Biggest Loser. Make it your job to lose…

I do work out after having only BPC for breakfast. However I do take a protein shake and drink as soon as I finish workout. And if that isn't enough, I will have a protein bar too or some string cheese. I literally drink my shake in the dressing room. I am diabetic so I need something after a workout if I only have BPC for…
-
this is ON the money! If you don't keep an eye on what you sugars are, then how will you know if you are eating the right things? Just because "we" have diabetes does not mean our bodies respond the same way to the same food. It really is trial and error for everyone. Without testing, you have no data to spot the errors!…

You are adorable! Happy Birthday and happy weight loss----great job. You will be in Onderland before you know it! and GOOD for you getting this done while you are young. I am still mad at myself for waiting so long to get serious about my health. YOU are the smart one!
-
there are some great stories on here. and I BELIEVE every single one of them. I do not have Celiac D. I have diabetes. I have hypothroidism. I have high blood pressure. I have lots of seasonal allergies and dust/mold are rough for me. I went gluten free because I decided I am not a cow and don't need to eat grass. I went…
-
I went gluten free for a few months and then dropped ALL grains. That was tough cuz I love quinoa. Giving up corn chips and tortillas was the hardest for this Texas gal. But my scale wasn't moving and I wanted to go high fat, low carb....so grains went out the window! I am fine now that I have found so many recipes with…
-
can't see food diary. Sounds like you are doing all the right things. When I hit a bad plateau, I couldn't get anywhere until I completely changed both my diet and exercises. Our bodies get stagnant and we gotta shock them. Maybe lower the carbs a little and up the good fat and try a completely different workout routine.…

You look AMAZING.:flowerforyou:

Your situation is indeed terrible. Knee pain is nothing to take lightly. I think I might get another opinion since your doctor thinks you are too young for the surgery. What does he expect you to do.....sit around drugged on pain medication and not be able to work or live life? I would definitely look into other…
-
I can certainly understand your desire NOT to add medication. But I did want to tell you that my 24 year old daughter has been taking this medication for a few months. She is a college student (nursing) and could not work exercise in her schedule as she simply has no time. She walked on the treadmill maybe once every two…

SPINACH. steamed spinach as the last meal of the day or with supper is my best cure! I eat tons of fiber and raw salad stuff and gallons of water...but my digestion seems slow on the raw foods. As long as I get my evening small bowl of steamed spinach, I am fine! sounds crazy, but works for me. also you didn't mention your…
-
yes, you can lose by not exercising. The question is WHY would you want to not make your muscles stronger to take the stress off the knees? Google exercises for knee pain. They have amazing stretches and things you can do. I can speak from experience on KNEE issues. I am 58 (twice your age), diabetic, hypothroid. I tore my…

Great job. and you are darling--awesome eyes and pretty cheekbones! These winning stories have really kept me going the last 1 1/2 years as they do for so many of us. You are beautiful, as I suspect you Always have been.
-
Love those quest bars. But I also researched good snack bar type recipes and make my own healthy ones! have good snack options and drink up the water and unsweetened tea. you have to readjust your taste buds, but it works and I now love unsweetened tea over diet coke any day! If you drink beer, just remember how you had to…

I read a little on it (webMD) and another diet promoting site. It doesn't sound like total hogwash to me. However, there is not proven research on the diet or supplements yet. What does make sense is that insulin resistance creates leptin resistance. So keeping insulin levels down is still the best approach and that means…
-
WELL SAID, kiramaniac! I am with you 100%. All calories are not the same. It took over a year for me to lose 30 pounds on higher protein and lower carbs (generally under 100g) and low fat. That got frustrating, so I dropped ALL grains, not just gluten, and still the weight came off pretty slowly. Then I went high fat, low…
-
Honey, you are a GORGEOUS SOUTHERN BELLE! and this Texas gal ought to know.....My mom was from your lovely state (Duck Hill near Winona) and I have cousins in Jackson. You LOOK AMAZING. and almost to Onederland! Keep us the good work. :flowerforyou:
-
ain't THAT the truth. Good Lord, Miss OP...you got TWO pounds to go????? Forget about the stupid peanut butter. How about donate it to a Homeless Shelter or buy a loaf of bread and give BOTH to the guy standing under the bridge. Instead of WAR with your immature sister, how about PEACE with the poor starving guy under that…

google low-carb recipes. I make pancakes using flax and ground almonds. Add a little walden sugar and carb-free syrup.....Heavenly breakfast with scrambled eggs! I also mix up some protein (low carb) powder, vanilla or coconut extract, stevia, hershey's cocoa, grass-fed butter, coconut oil, ground almonds and flax. Just…
