OP...I like green bell pepper but not any of the other colors (different taste or something). I like onions and green bell peppers but they have to be cooked and slightly sautéing them isn't enough! Find ways to mask or hide the things that you want to have until you can eat them w/out having to pour stuff over them. For…

Are the fasting days suppose to be back to back or just any random days?

The lack of lawsuits may be in part that they were probably required to sign a waiver and a "no tell" if you catch my drift :neutral_face:

Ive never been a coffee drinker but why couldn't someone count this as their liquids? Its made with water, similar to the liquids in soups...even fruits have liquid in them such as watermelon :confused:

Last weeks episode really saddened me....her lack of effort, all that for what? We all know this isn't easy, no one said it would be! The physical, mental and emotional pain that we all endure, shes not the exception! I just couldn't believe it :neutral_face:

This is why I made the statement on not being too restrictive on the "rules" because its not like going on a cruise or to your in-laws where you can get the same foods anywhere. Have a heart to heart w/ your sister and let her know that her short time there is more precious spent with people that she doesn't get to see…

If OP's sister has been doing good on her own and losing weight in her current lifestyle and now she's going to a place where more exercise will be implemented into her days then she shouldn't be obligated to stringent rules! She apparently knows how to choose her foods and by now should be able to eyeball something in…

Awe, what a guy...at least he's making himself useful :wink: I know what you mean about that snow...all the schools around here were out, even the 1's who try to stick it out to the last minute!

Whoa! Youre looking good!!

Wow, look at you! Great job :smiley:

Oh dang Seaghda71....for a split second when I read "blizzard" the 1st thing that came to mind was DQ :grinning: !!

Are you referring to their thin crisps...those are good!

You sound like me MurphyRaven! I just wanted my jaw to crunch on something. I even told my husband in my moment of hunger for crunch, beware, I might turn zombie like and have me some chicken "fingers" :wink: LMAO!!

Dang, this calculator only goes down to 4'10...Im 4'2 :neutral_face:

I too have heard that in time you can stretch your stomach....to what degree, IDK! Also, I think that everybodys "honeymoon" phase is different. Some may never get their true "hunger" sense back but clearly that's not the case for everyone. Ive seen more & more threads & posts where people are expressing the same things as…

I know this is something you've had on your mind for awhile now, good luck!!

Who wants to be the Turkey :wink: :grinning:

OP...that's kind of odd and different to have you drink those sports drinks before surgery! 2 weeks before mine, I was not eating things like bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, fruits (because of the sugar) and of course nothing w/ added (processed) sugar. Then the day before it was only liquids...nothing w/ color (like tomato…

Thank You SportyRedHead for the cabbage link! My mom used to make cabbage rolls, this looks so much easier & quicker :smile:

Here is a thread someone started...it might give you some perspective! http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10055188/should-i-up-my-calories

Wow Amy! You go girl :smiley:

Look up chair exercises or check out your tv listing. You don't have to do the exercises the same exact way theyre doing it, modify them to what works for you!

Their "freezer" products are rather pricey...even with my coupon :neutral_face: I might have to wait for a sale + coupon to try 1!

Well, I watched last weeks episode. What I couldn't understand is when she is being taken in to have her 1st "real" shower and the lady is washing her hair for her....I was like "what, are you kidding me" (yes, I often talk back to the tv)! I couldn't believe that at this point she was so much more mobile and didn't have…

That's awful, but Im glad to hear that you Finally got someone to listen up!

I watched 1 episode a long time ago (don't recall which season). Thinking maybe this time around I could get into it because that football player was on it, it didn't happen! I ended up only watched the 1st episode....I think they can be too critical and harsh. Now I read about what really happens...just awful!

That was me too, initially! I don't know if I was in denial of myself or the fact that I could say "well, that's them, Im not as big" As I got interested in the show, I realized that although I may not be at their size, I was in my own big size and that was enough for me to say "I need help!"

Lori, its on now...or at least here! Its called My 600 Pound Life Where Are They Now

Meat is great for protein which means keeping you feeling satisfied longer! Canned meat (fish, chicken), you don't have to cook (store them in your cupboards). Cheese, low in carbs (my string cheese comes up as zero carbs) Most Nuts do not have carbs (check out nutrition label 1st to know which 1's)

Yeah, I like this show for all those reasons too!
