The important point missing in your statement is people gorge on white sugar. The only person who gorges on straight honey, like sits down and eats a pound at a time is Poo Bear. Fruit, a little honey, those are carbs that people don't go nuts on. I am like the other abusers on the board that would eat a lot of oreos, not…

:laugh:

To me that isn't gross. All you did was create a yummy pastry. Flour butter sugar yummy.

I am so happy to read your post. I got an Ibalance 5000 and it is a wonderful scale. But I didn't understand tare till today when I read your post. :) Thank you for posting. I weigh my food. There is more than one post here about the ABSOLUTELY MUST WEIGH Peanut butter, but I only eat a peanut butter sandwich with honey,…

I didn't like frozen much either. I loved the little snowman and the reindeer. I loved the focus on the sisters and the sister being the hero. :) I like Muppet Movie, especially the last one, Muppets Most Wanted. "I'll Get You Anything You Want, Cocatoo in Malibu" is maybe my favorite song ever. We are still singing it. My…

You are wonderful no matter what you weigh. You already know that you can do it. I look forward to losing my 100 pounds with you. Falling in love does all sorts of things to us. If you just gained some weight, that can be easily changed. :happy:

Oh you have the blues. Wallow for a time, and then get real. You have done so much already. I'm so impressed with what you have achieved. For now, your view is askew. It won't always be. You really, truly have done so well. I wish it were me!

Thank you for the clarification on my use of the word cure. I know that high carb whole foods, rich in fruit and veggies ends insulin dependence for people with diabetes 2, but not if you go back to other ways of eating. Diabetes 2 is lifestyle. Having said that, the a vegan whole foods low fat diet is a huge change..…

I'm going to eat Vietnamese food next week. There is a vermicelli noodle dish that is not fried that I always get. I may even bring a scale and a container dish to weight the portion. I really don't want to be off by a lot. I am awful at this sort of going for ball park when I have a plate of food to measure. The best…

I'm noticing the same thing. I went vegan whole foods and gave up sugar. I really don't want to eat meat or dairy. I don't want sugar. Seriously, this is in the 3rd week. How things change. I see commercials for gooey pizza on TV and I think to myself, "mmm, pizza..." But to actually eat it, not interested. Healthy eating…

Here is my 2 cents for what it is worth. Take it or leave it. I'm glad you who wrote the original post are finding wisdom. Some people never learn this wise way. The thing you are talking about is called "triangulating" It is an unhealthy (codependent) way to interact with others and harms by damaging our relationships…

How bad am I?:laugh: After reading this post, although I haven't had spaghetti since starting a vegan whole foods diet in may, I sure am enjoying a big bowl of spaghetti right now for dinner as I write this. And tomorrow morning is when I weigh in. :ohwell: I saved up my calories for today to do this dinner. After reading…

Good for you for taking the steps that brought you to fitnesspal.com. It takes courage to take those first steps in a new direction. Here you will find a lot of people who will support you and some will be in a very similar circumstance to you. I'm not around anybody who is losing weight and getting healthy like I am doing…

McDougall and Dr. Christian Barnard and many other notable professionals know that a high carb whole foods vegan diet rich in veggies and fruits will cause weightloss, reverse heart disease, and cure diabetes 2. You can look this up on posts on youtube for interviews with these long term professionals. I am on this diet,…

thank you so much for your helpful response. I am going to lunch next week and was going to wing it the best I could. I will read the article for helpful suggestions. I'm new at this. Never ever eaten controlled portions before or stayed within a range of a limit.

Oh, you are doing amazing! I'm so proud of you. Keep up the good work! It is paying off so well.

That's me. :flowerforyou:

Tonight I'm going to eat one of my absolute favorite summer foods. Yesterday a friend who has an organic farm gave me 8 pounds of organic summer tomatoes, all varieties, heirloom reds and yellows, Italian plum, round smaller red ones I don't know the name of, you name it. I am taking a bunch of them, 3.5 pounds or 1587…

Congrats on enjoying the meal! :)

I'm not trying to be a downer, but reading about Polycystic ovary disease and why it is hard to stay fit, I got sad. I am really proud of you who are working on being fit when there are extra challenges from the gate to getting fit and losing weight. And challenges does not really give one an idea of the difficulties faced…

No way I can pick. The calm beauty of early morning. I love hearing the robins singing so early in the morning. They are sing late into the night as well, those party animals. But a sunset here in northern California where I live takes my breath away most days. So, I can't pick one I like better.

That is such an accomplishment. I'm really proud of you!. I started with 100 pounds to lose and was really taken aback today when on my personal tracker on this site, the middle center point of my weight loss will be when I weigh 194. Oh my. I never saw that I had that much to lose before I was less than 200 pounds.…

While I only log the weight each Saturday after breakfast, I weigh myself more often than that. I like to see how the weight is changing as the week progresses. Weight loss is not linear, and it is interesting to see how this new way of eating affects my weight each week. I've seen that in the first two weeks, the first…

I haven't been on the program for 5 weeks, but every day I enter the food I ate into the diary, it says in 5 weeks I will weight about 10 pounds less. I am eating the calories that this program says will have me lose 2 pounds per week. I hope I do lose 10 pounds in 5 weeks.

Your recipes look luscious. Thank you. I've been blending firm tofu with cocoa and sweetener and it is a quite good pudding, but I bet it is better with avocado.

Pasta is absolutely wonderful to eat. And yet when you are in a food program to lose weight and you have to face reality and see what constitutes an actual "serving" of pasta, well speaking for me, I choke up and am near to tears. What a puny bit! Two ounces of spaghetti for 210 calories. :( I'm going to have to try having…

Easier? I hardly think so. It is much harder to lose weight when you are already in a normal range. Plz don't get me started on obese and super obese people who say they eat right and don't lose weight for month after month. When body mass is as big as obese, (yes, Im obese), weight drops off much more easily. Please be…

Such a good move to take a picture early on. 20 pounds makes a HUGE difference. And you have the pictures and that is more worth than a 1000 words or our negative thoughts. :) Really smart. I have been getting busy with before pictures. I am down 17 pounds and feel so different already. I'm obese, 230 pounds, and my…

I eat oatmeal with unsweetened soy milk most mornings. I slow cook old fashioned oats and salt, with extra water, and for a longer time till they are creamy. It is so filling. I usually eat 2 servings, a full cup of raw oats cooked. If I'm up in time, I will have fresh fruit at least 1 hour earlier, like watermelon, or…

You are so right about this. I am a sugar addict and I gave refined sugar up. The first week was hard, but I'm into the third week and I don't even want it. I replaced it with fruit. I whip up frozen fruit in the blender with just alittle water to blend and that is better than Ice cream. I eat fresh ripe fruit all the…
