I completely get it and I wish you the best of luck! Just let your boys understand this is all about making healthy choices in life and fueling the body for life and energy... you can do this..

I agree....I stopped clicking on that tab and it made life a little better for me..just log your calories and exercise and be done with it. good luck!

:flowerforyou:

:drinker: i'll watch and see what up with it all..

welcome! many nice people with good information here.. hang in there and don't be defeated it will happen if you just log all your food and move, move, move! :flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou:

protein is where its at for me..eggs..leftover meat..PBJ on whole wheat with a protein drink...I can go play a 5 hour round of golf with high energy and I don't get hungry either. I agree with the above also..eat more often if you are hungry, then your less likely to eat more than you should.

if you are serious about losing weight ..you need to commit! 100%, The "Hassle" soon becomes easier and you will see the weight go. log in everything and you will then have an idea why you have gained. Move as much as you can. Unfortunately we can;t wish the pounds away it takes effort and commitment. Wish you good luck.

boil 2 c.cauliflower with 2 cloves of garlic.. about 20 mins till very soft..mash and add a small amount of warm milk and a pat of butter. They end up like a creamy garlic :flowerforyou: mash potato but very low cal and delish.

okay i like the idea and will try it! but 1TB of oil is a huge amount of fat!! add to that the fat from the cheese & meat you now have 279 cals. of fat. it may be low cal..but it's high fat!! that burger is 66% fat!! I will lower that one with less cheese and oil. thanks for the recipe.

I purchased the FT4 from amazon for about 70$..it comes with the strap and it works! easy to use, you can swim in it to 30m. I was after calories burned and heartrate so this fits the bill.

I say try it for a month..see what happens, you can always return if it isn't the right thing for you. You won't know what youv'e learned till you give it a go. Good luck

yeah okay..I finally got it! but it took a day of thinking and working it out! duh not easy for some. Thanks for this information, it is helpful to me.:flowerforyou:

Hi! I measure myself about every 4/5 weeks and I weigh every day but only change my ticker when it goes down..which for me is a very slow process..! Iv'e been here about 7 months and most people are stating that the belly goes last..I am finding that also but I am older than you and have had babies. I wish I had taken the…

Oh yes! I see coyote, & deer, snakes, rabbits and grey squirrels, red cardinals, blue jays..:flowerforyou: the desert is alive

I think a sweet potato is more yellow and drier in texture and a yam is softer & more orange...unless I have it backasswards..I bake them like a potato and add a blop of lite sour cream.

Just make the conscious decision to change this time! flip the switch! plan your meals for the day early in the morning and then make it happen that way..if something gets changed along the way switch up the rest of the days foods till it all works out:flowerforyou: . It is ultimately your choice to make this a life…

i lke it!:drinker:

well..I buy Krogers frozen shrimp the 26 count size which is a nice medium size. I pay 5.99 for a lb of them and it gets my hubby and I, 2 meals so is that expensive? I am a budget shopper so if I can have a serving of protein for 1.50 per person I think that is very reasonable. I make shrimp tacos, shrimp pasta, grill…

Good for you~~you should be very proud~~keep the flow

I cook everything pretty much from scratch..it takes some work to keep the sodium down but it gets easier! Also right at first things might taste a little bland..but after a week or 2 it's all fine. if i'm making something with cheese in it i don't salt the other ingredients etc. canned goods are terrible with sodium ie:…

pull up the almond drink and click on nutritional value...then when it asks you if this is correct say no..then click edit,,then change the values to what they should be.

Welcome Doc! I'm also in Az. This is a very user friendly site..good luck!

looking good! yes it really does show through the neck and face alot, makes you look younger! really good job~~keep it up:happy:

ditto to above! work out, work out, work out, then eat a great meal THIS TIME..then work out again hard the next day!!drink lots of water

I changed my sodium count in goals to 1800mgs and I try to stay under that if possible. I have found I must cook everything from scratch & fresh ( pretty much) use no canned or processed food they are just rampant with salt. The first week we really missed the good things salt does making food taste good ( or so I thought)…
