I eat 1 ounce every morning, usually alongside other food. If I only have time for the nuts, I am amazed at how long I stay full.

I read this post entirely different than all of the people who replied. I don't think the OP is saying she wants to lose weight. I think she's trying to maintain and upped her calories because the FitBit said she could but now she's having a hard time keeping to the upped calories and thus gaining weight. Now, I could be…

I have mine set at 10/20/70. I'm in beast mode right now. Keeping track of everything.

Love reading people's knowledge on this stuff.

Congratulations on your weight loss success. I love your pics, especially the one of you and your daughter!

Great thread! Definitely going to join the group. Looking forward to a Whole30 to start the year off right!

I think your phone conversations are key. Can you call at different times of the day and she's open to talking to you? Does she seem strange on the phone? Same thing the other way. Does she call you during the daytime, at night, on the weekends? I don't think you have to "stalk" her in any way. That would be creepy. You…

I'm really bummed you felt like you needed to add that to the top of your post. I hope you don't think there are a bunch of bullies out here! I also love Hal Higdon, as mentioned above. Just enjoy yourself and finish. Don't get caught up in how fast you go on your first one. It's a great experience and an achievement that…

Quinoa is a grain, and that's why I avoid it. I also read recently that almost all grains have gluten even if they are considered gluten free, including quinoa.

Just ran across this today. It looks sooo good. http://www.primalpalate.com/blog/the-best-bacon-youll-ever-have/

try sweet potatoes. great source of vitamins and carbs.

I know it seems crazy, but your adrenaline will push you through those last three miles. You can add a couple of weeks to your program if you would like to work up to 12 before the race. I'm following a different program, and my race is two weeks from yesterday, and I ran 12 yesterday. Now I start to taper the mileage down…

So many quotes, so little time. (bump)

This does sound good. When you say wedges, do you literally mean like potato wedges -- sort of thick ones? This is the first summer I have really cooked with eggplant and am loving it. So far I have made a babaganoush, and then another time I just sliced, added some oil and salt, and grilled it. Yummy! Any other ideas for…

Maybe you could do metabolic testing? I had metabolic testing done at the gym. The whole point was to find out when you are burning mostly carbs for fuel. You have to run on a treadmill with a mask. It was pretty uncomfortable. Because of paleo, I almost had to give up before I could get to the point of burning carbs! The…

Sorry I can't help you, but I'm curious to see any responses!

I would second the jerky suggestion. If you can't/don't want to make your own, you can buy good brands online.

The picture of the taco shell is just about the best thing I have ever seen. Of course, it's lunch time right now. lol Check it out! You won't be disappointed. I'm gonna try it soon.

I have a Basis watch as well. I really wanted it for the heart rate and keeping track of sleeping. It seems to do its job, but I'm not totally sure. The band is very big for a small female, and as of this moment, they don't offer a smaller one. I'm hoping they have heard the complaints and will do something about it. It's…

Love all of the new material to read! I looked this one up, and up popped Primal Toad. Is that what you meant? Looks like a great site.

You are probably on to something. It could be dairy, but also consider that the meatballs definitely had wheat in them since caterers would add that to make them go farther. So it could be a gluten issue. The elimination and reintroduction is the best way to tell short of major tests. Good luck!

ahamm002, ha, the way you put that makes sense, but i still get my veggies in, believe me! lol i'm just talking about expanding your stomach. Even if it's with the "right" food, it's not necessarily a good thing. I mean, if one "serving size" of cooked veggies is 1/2 cup, I would easily eat 3 cups in one setting. I never…

That's what I thought. Thanks.

macadamia nuts!

I wish I could buy raw milk around here. Anybody from southeast Michigan?

Please eat more. You are starving yourself, and weight loss doesn't have to be that hard. You are doing well. Like another said, do some searching around MFP because this question has been asked and answered.

It's funny how different we all are. I can see where you are coming from, but I am just the opposite. I log when I want to lose. Good luck with your experiment!

I've been really on a mission lately -- no sweets! If I really feel a craving (which doesn't happen once you've been off sweets), I have some vanilla whey protein with no added sugar made like pudding. It reminds me of eating ice cream and so I'm satisfied.
