Congratulations! Great success! I've been drifting towards this option myself. In the process of my tinkering around I found this latest that might be of interest to you. Turns out the research is giving some data to show that breakfast isn't the be all and end all of good nutrition.…

Years ago my paleo doc told me to give up dairy as a test, but I was never able to do it. I did raw milk, kefir, the whole dairy dance. After being on MFP and counting all my calories (yah, I'm paleo and I count calories when I want to melt fat) I learned even more about how dairy affects my appetite. I was using coconut…

It's been a joy to watch your success! Bravo!

This thread is so wonderful!!! Thank you everyone!

Crazy great!! Wow!!

Last summer when I was working to get off dairy I put coconut oil in my coffee, but it didn't give me the total yum effect so I tried coconut milk, but I never used enough. A couple of T's were just enough to piss me off so finally I started dumping half the can in my coffee and my dairy free life was born. So damn yum!…

I've got/had Hashi. Whatever it is I take thyroid every morning. My work around for the time issue is to chew it up before swallowing then I get right to the protein bomb. I avoid eggs so I have my home made jerky ready to go which I much on with my coffee loaded with coconut milk. Then I'm off... !!! Last summer I ditched…

Fascinating!!! Thanks RW!

Oh my goodness! Wow! Beautiful before, but wow-now!

I found this link elsewhere on MFP. Oh I like this answer. So like. Very positive message about maintaining. http://refusetoregain.com/refusetoregain/2011/12/the-fat-trap-my-response.html

For me the super fast thing doesn't work and long ago I was Will-Power-Woman to do them, but it's was a nasty set-up for the rebound. Even with the current slow-go routine, it's easy to get creep-up.

For the registry of people who maintained an average weight loss for over a year, here's the scoop. "But their eating and exercise habits appear to reflect what researchers find in the lab: to lose weight and keep it off, a person must eat fewer calories and exercise far more than a person who maintains the same weight…

Hi, You wrote: "The part that I need info on is how many days on Progesterone will this period end? How many days after stopping the 10 day dose will the next period begin? The reason I ask is because my dr was a bit vague on how many, other than saying a few for both of my questions." It's a good guess on your doctor's…

Brilliant and inspiring! Thank you!!!

Most excellent!!

bump! ((-:

I recall feeling oddly sad to melt my way out of Lane Bryant 'cause the staff in any part of the country were always so damn helpful and kind. Torrid staff too. I got a pair of good jeans at Torrid long ago. LB had lots of good sales on t-shirts and bras. Right now I got to Nordstrom Rack as I melt my way through nice…

Please note. There's no one size fits all HRT. For many women a progesterone dominant version will make them gain weight very fast. An example of how effective P is for that? A drug given to cancer patients to increase their appetite and make them gain weight is essentially progesterone. Too much estrogen and they could…

I love estrogen, but don't like progesterone. P makes me fatter. E in the correct dose just makes everything better. Done it for several years now and I have to be aware and conscious about what I'm doing with it. I don't believe it works well for women who want a quick fix and then don't pay attention to what needs to be…

Oh I so want this on my list of inspiring stories!! Thank you! Stunning turn around and success! Love the look on your face with your 'guns'! Thank you!

Weightloss has become easy for me with no grain/no dairy/no sugars. Except for wine and dark chocolate. :drinker: :smile:

So I'm 50 and melting faster and more easily than I have ever have in my life. Oh yah, and I'm eating more fat and meat than ever. The majority of my fat cals are from coconut milk because I finally figured out the dairy fat was constantly awakening my appetite. My yum treats are low carb veggies, red wine, and super dark…

Congrats!!

Oh you geek god! Love it! ((-: And your results are great too! Thanks!

I've been making jerky for years now. A dehydrator is worth it, but you can make one out of a cardboard box and a lightbulb. These aren't my instructions. I simply googled. http://www.willowglyn.com/heather/jerkydrierinstructions.pdf I've put all kinds of stuff on my jerky, but over a year ago I started making it super…
