Absolutely correct

I have congestive heart failure and my doctor prescribes me water pills. Talk to your cardiologist and get his opinion and if he says you need them then he will prescribe them.

Two different 1200 calories a day diets; 1) 3 slices of pizza and 1 can of coke 2) 14 heads of romaine lettuce ( I know nobody is going to only eat lettuce, but you get the point) Many people when they decide to eat healthier go way overboard on extremely low calorie veggies to try and get as much food for the calories and…

OP go for it. Have fun and enjoy the b-day party, but remember that since you don't drink very often anymore so it is quite likely that your alcohol tolerance has gone down. Five doubles is not excessive but if you drink them on an empty stomach, you will likely "feel" it the next day. Personally I don't only keep up with…

Small victory today; went to Sam's today and DID NOT use the mobility cart to get around. Walked around Sam's for 45 minutes and felt great doing it!!!!!! (Two months ago I was walking with a cane)

Con-Air....cheesy but I love it

Way to go!!!!! Keep it up....Small victories are great!!!

I add chopped mushrooms and diced onions to my turkey. These veggies are high in water content and it keeps my turkey from being dry. I also add some homemade bread crumbs soaked in a little bit of milk for extra moisture.

My father was a drill instructor in the Marine Corp and I was raised Jehovah's Witness, childhood was tough.

Go to Amazon and order a 50 gram weight and use it to calibrate your scale.

I understand what you mean everyone always guesses I weigh less than I do. They are usually off by 30-40 lbs Ok, I will go ahead and guess. You look to be about the same size and build as my wife so and you say you need to lose a little weight so.......147

I learned along time ago not to guess a woman's age or weight. Nope, nope, nope it's always a trap :happy:

I am a tall man trapped in short body. I am a "Tyrian-tarian".......Think about it :laugh:

Patty, Are you trying to tell us that in one day you day 24 pieces of chocolate cake (3 full cakes), 1 large and one medium pizzas, 20 pieces of KFC chicken, 54 small bags of doritos,2lbs of bacon, 3lbs of butter (6 sticks), 1/2 loaf of bread, 1 dozen eggs, 11 cans of coke, plus several smaller items of food?

I agree about frozen veggies. Their cost remains constant as fresh produce prices fluctuate greatly during peak and off peak seasonally. I also buy 5lb bag of chicken breasts as Sam's. 32 pieces $23 breaks down to 72¢ each. I have oodles and oodles of chicken recipes

Ground turkey patties with minced onion, garlic powder and bbq sauce, sauteed mushrooms and peas with sherry and thyme, golden hominy

FUPA the things I learn on this web site. Learn something new everyday.:laugh:

I tell no one about my diet except my wife of course. I have found in my many many years of dieting (getting old here) that most people do not support you in your diet. They will say things like, "I think you you look great as you are" or "come on just one won't hurt you." I have also come to understand that most of my…

I tried pre-cooking my meals but I found I would get tired of the food I cooked before I finished eating them so I was wasting food. Frozen chicken breasts (5oz) takes 15 minutes to fast thaw and 8 minutes to broil them, if you pound them to 1/2 inch thick. This way you can season the chicken breast different every day.…

Watch your sodium intake. It looks to be off the charts on many of the days you logged. To much sodium will cause to to hold water.

I weigh once a week or two weeks. I do this because my water weight is great because of a medical condition. I take my lasix one day, to shed my water retention and weigh the next morning.

Shot of vodka with a diet coke back. I always drink my vodka straight up. But that's just me. :smile:

. I understand where you are coming from but, when you start talking about pro athletes and world class athletes like Michael Phelps, then you are going to lose me. I am not a pro athlete. Like most people on this forum, I am an average person trying to lose my excess weight. I personally can not work out in a gym because…

I always pre-plan my day. Doesn't mean I can't change it, but I have found that pre-logging tells me how many calories I have to "play with" for the day.

And the number 1 answer is......oatmeal and whole grains. My personal favorite garlic.

Are you coughing when you lay down? Look up pitted edema. I had this same problem. Forty pound weight gain, seemed like in two weeks. My diagnoses was congestive heart failure. When your heart is not working properly then it slows down all your other organs. Your body can not expel excessive water. I now take lasix (water…
