You can find many great low/no carb recipes in many places online. Try "Low Carb Friends" There are many recipes there that are great. Try Paleo recipes. when you say no carbs, do you truly mean no carbs, or low carb? There is a difference. If you are eating salads, then you are eating carbs. If you truly wish to eat NO…

Me... goal 105. 4'11"

Why say anything? I let the results speak for themselves. I have learned to not tell people if I am changing something about myself. It is food for the backstabbers, and it is sabotage if you take one step out of line. When the results start to show, people will naturally comment because they can SEE what you are doing is…

Did you fill out the personal information on your homepage? It will tell you how many calories you should be eating daily, and then help you keep track of them too!!

Kayjaybee... You must watch Dr. Oz!! All those have been mentioned on his show!! Do you have anything to say about any of these? Which ones work? Any success??

Would love to partner up!!! Low carb is what my body likes too. I have trouble with carbs. Let's get together!!

As a woman and approaching the age of 50, your body has lost muscle mass. Lean muscle tissue helps the body to burn fat efficiently. You will need to do at least 30 minutes of resistance training daily. This will keep your muscle tissue from atrophy. Being sedentary at this age will only allow the pounds to creep on... no…

I use it.... it is FUN!!! Better than just working out! I mainly use the sport challenges and the dancing ones. I have the balance board which makes this even more fun. It is one of the many things I use to keep myself from getting bored with the same routine.

For many of us, grains and carbs from those grains create inflamation. Take them out of your diet, and WOW!!! Things start to happen quickly!! I do not eat any carbs from processed foods. My only source of carbs comes from vegetables. When I eat like this, I feel great, lose weight, have energy, have better cognitive…

You can add me... I have been here 10 days!!

Look into online schooling for your sister. Most states have online schools now for all ages. It is like the best of both worlds... getting to have real teachers but doing it at home on the computer. However... isolation will be unhealthy for your sister. She needs interaction with peers to develop socially. Her fears and…

Let him be who he is. You be who you want to be. Cook for you, and tell him that he is free to eat what he wants, but that you will not cook for him because you do not want to eat what he eats. Ask him to give you a grocery list, and buy for him what he asks. When he begins to take a health tumble and is doctoring for…

I do not work any longer.... by choice. For 20 years I worked with high school students that have emotional and behavioral disorders. The world began to look pretty dismal to me.... it seemed that there were no good people in the upcoming generation!! I also worked as a server at night for an upscale steakhouse. Between…

One of my favorites is Chicken Salad made with chicken breasts, onion, celery, and mayo. Cut a tomato into a "flower wedge" and place the chicken salad on top. You can also put it on top of lettuce. You can use tuna as well ( white, Albacore, no oil) Stewed Tomatoes with butter, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt and…

My first time, I did it cold turkey. And did not smoke for 7 years after that. Why I started again.... the same as you.... "Oh,... I can have one once in a while" NOT!!!! I have finally quit... I used a pharmaseutical drug "Chantix". For both my husband and I, it was THE way to go. It helped IMMENSELY with the cravings. It…

It is the last thing to go.... do not be discouraged.

I own a Bowflex, a Total Gym, a Treadmill, free weights, a ball, a rebounder, resistance bands, a kettle ball, a P90X video series, yoga DVDs, a Wii.... you name it. However... getting down to use this stuff is not easy. I would love to have a buddy to work out with!! My husband is a UPS driver, and is lean as ever. He…

Whatever Dr. Oz speaks about on his show will go up in price by 100% or better in 3 seconds of it being advertised on his show. When he talked about green coffee extract, I looked it up w-h-i-l-e he was telling about it. On one website selling it, the google server showed it being a product that cost $9.95. I clicked on…

I chop up onions, celery, green and red peppers, grape tomatoes cut in half, sunflower seeds, and cilantro. Salt and pepper. Delicious.

Cream Cheese Dip: 1 package cream cheese at room temperature 1 medium cucumber, with seeds removed 1/2 pound of bacon ( fried and chopped into bits) 1/2 onion, diced Mix ingredients together and allow to sit for about 3 hours for flavors to meld together. Eat on top of a tomato slice, or use pork rinds. It can be used as a…

I would love to be friends with you and all of the other Atkins/ Low carb folks!!!

I think that a person can be friends with another of the opposite sex. My husband and I have mutual friends, but one of them is a woman who is unmarried. She is a good friend to both of us, but her interests are pretty much the same as my husbands. They go fishing togetther, make beer together, and do outdoorsy stuff…

This is a mainstay for me, VERY low cal, easy to make, and good! 2 quarts of chicken broth 1 can diced tomatoes 1 green pepper ( large) cut into 1/2 inch pieces 1 medium onion, diced 1/2 cabbage, chopped Place all these ingredients into a pot, and bring to a biol, then simmer for about 10 minutes. Do not overcook the…

Although you state that she has no known medical issues, she may want to go and have her thyroid checked. One of the main symptoms is the inability to lose weight, along with fatigue, hair loss/thinning, outer 1/3 of eyebrows are sparse or missing, cold most of the time when others are comfortable, depression-like…

AMEN SISTER SARAH!!!!! i AGREE!!!!

Hi Katie.... I think that you will not ever find out the "truth" about carbs. There are many reasons why there are so many varying opinions and positions about them. I read the book "Good Carbs Bad Carbs" by Gary Taubes. The rival book "The China Study" states the opposite. Who to believe?? Well... listen to your body. Dr.…

Alcohol, while in it's natural liquid state can advertise ( like vodka and rum) that there are no carbs. However, when ingested, the body begins to break it down into sugar alcohols. Now, what was originally in the glass a non-carb drink, becomes one simply by being ingested. Our livers are responsible for processing…

Also... how close to your period are you? Many women hold more water about 3 days before their period, and it will come off about 3 days after you begin the menses. It pays to keep this in mind when weighiing in, and you will notice it every month.

Differing foods need different enzymes to be digested. When juicing, the only two foods that are neutral are apples and carrots. If some foods are mixed together, they can cancel each other out, and the nutritional values drop considerably.

Hi. I used the HCG homeopathic drops. What I can tell you is that I DID lose weight, but not in a good way. 500 calories a day is not enough food. I was STARVING the whole time. And, I did not lose as much weight as I did using the Atkins plan. There are many testimonies out there about those who have used the "real" HCG…
