Ok. I give in. You are right. I'm wrong. :) I have way too much to do to indulge in this any more. LOL

Why should I be crying because I don't really care if a couple folks in an internet forum pick on me? You're a peach. :)
-
I was joking. I did read it, and it supported exactly what I claimed. I'm not sure if you've heard of sarcasm before. Also I linked other sites that nobody is interested in reading either. LOL
-
That's awesome :) You must be a real upstanding person to basically call me a bad mother and decide my child hates me ... over spices.
-
...and nobody said I respected your opinion. LOL!

Google is the equivalent of the library with personal journals and magazines thrown in. There is much valid and reliable information to be found on the internet. Sure, just like you have to take any comment from any random stranger with a grain of salt, same with the internet. I wouldn't discount the entire wealth of…

Nope didn't read any of it. :)
-
Well, sue me. :) It was annoying.

At the same time, this is an internet forum. Wouldn't the responsible thing really be to go and research things for yourself rather than rely on me - or you? It's ok to ask opinions and have others share theirs. It's even ok to disagree. But I'm not a moron because I hold an opinion based on my own research nor do I have…

Your right, there isn't enough research to say that it can prevent cancer. Bingo. You get a gold star. :) Thank you for educating me on internet conversation. Now I know. :)

So are you saying if I eat curry my babies will have birth defects? LOL Ok, you've reminded me why I don't use these forums. :) Thanks for that.
-
Oh my goodness you are just an exhausting little thing aren't you? Nobody is saying if you eat a little turmeric you won't get cancer. Did you read PAST the first line in that article?

This isn't really witchcraft or sorcery, it's sort of common knowledge. LOL

:) Well, since I'm not writing a book report I didn't realize I had to provide you with sources just to share my opinion on spices. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/cancer/expert-answers/curcumin/faq-20057858 Here's a link if that makes your day. As I said, do a google search and there's lots of information…

I don't know. I am really leery of soda altogether. I cut it out and really only drink water and coffee now. I know that sounds really boring for some folks, but now that I'm not hooked on it for the caffeine fix or the sugar fix I'd actually prefer not to drink it. The acid isn't good for your teeth anyhow - doesn't…

I personally think eating large amounts of those low calorie veggies is the key to making this last long term. I eat around 1250 calories a day (and allow myself to go over that once or maybe even twice per week) and I eat a TON of vegetables. I don't eat much bread, dairy, meat, or sugary treats. Eating 1200 calories…

Something I have discovered since losing is that my sense of taste has been heightened. Now - I suspect this is because I have made huge efforts to lower my salt/fat/sugar intake. Now that I actually taste the FOOD, spices have become a HUGE part of my life! I think spices are wonderful...and do a little google search and…

Whenever I feel as if my clothes are feeling different. Gosh. I'm not very consistent at all. Every month, sometimes two or three months apart lol
-
Hmph. I'm not sure how I feel about this article. What constitutes "announcing"? On social media? To everyone you encounter? I don't know a lot of folks who immediately relay a list of goals they've set for themselves upon speaking to them - and really the same goes with social media. I do reach out on FB and MFP for…

For me it's to keep busy and get enough sleep. When I'm bored I tend to snack and over eat and when I haven't had enough sleep. It took me a LONG time to figure out these were my two biggest triggers...and outside of that, if all else fails, get a pair of goal jeans or a goal outfit! At this point I've lost nearly 70…
-
I don't eat much meat or dairy, and when I do it's usually in moderation and a big deal meal! LOL When I started watching calories I was a lot like you...I wasn't sure what to eat and I easily got stuck in food ruts. Some of my favorite meals: - Tuna toasted in a whole wheat wrap with mozzarella cheese and spinach - Sliced…

Yes, I am! I have lost almost 70 pounds and I cannot believe what I used to look like. I was in a bit of denial too I think. The weight creeps up on you. It doesn't show up all at once, so I just didn't realize. What's worse now is that I am in many ways a "deflated" version of what I used to be! I didn't anticipate that.…
-
My personal feeling is, for what it's worth, is that you should eat what you want within reason. Eat healthy as much as possible because even though it may not seem like it, those habits stick and you start to crave healthier foods. But if you have to have a stinkin' burrito I say have it. Just don't have three and try not…

I have a couple of friends who have done really well on the program. I believe you can buy the system and workouts for $60 (and probably cheaper used on Ebay). It's only if you buy the Shakeology and/or become a coach that it's like double that cost. I'm buying it after the holiday without Shakeology...even though I've…

To be honest, I don't think I ever really understood what healthy or even normal eating was. I think my family was struggling with this themselves as I was growing up and so I just didn't learn until later in life how to live a normal life but make healthier choices. As soon as I hit puberty my weight went up and stayed…

Yes, when I started this at 230 pounds I knew that I had to have been eating 3000+ cals a day...so I started slow figuring anything would be better. I started at 2000, then slowly over the course of a fewwweeks started eating 1400-1500 which is what I strive for now, because I know that while I might lose faster eating…

Yes! My blood pressure rising was a huge part of why I stayed motivated to lose in the first place. I remember using one of those pharmacy blood pressure things things and I have always had good numbers...but a couple of winters ago I discovered my blood pressure rising consistently into pre-hypertension. My Husband has…

Congratulations on your 119 pound loss - that is amazing! I deal with these struggles daily...I really do feel your pain! Two pounds is such a nominal number, truly...I mean so little that it could just be water retention...I wouldn't sweat it although that is SO much easier said than done. Honestly I'll flat line for a…

Hi there! You are welcome to add me - I am down 32 pounds since the beginning of May and I have another 50 to lose. I was doing 1200 calories but it became a bit too restrictive for me and I binged so I'm more at 1300-1500 now...and then I eat more on work out days. Lately I've been below my calorie goal but man...I can…

I can really relate! I lost 60 pounds about ten years ago and after having babies I gained it all back plus twenty. Then I lost 30 pounds again two years ago...only to give up because I was feeling left out of family events. I am with you though - sometimes I call it a "diet" but truly, cliche as it sounds, it's a…
