great information and bumping for later

wow i really feel your pain with how busy your life must but...in looking at your diary i see: skipped meals, soda pop, too much sugar, and way over 30% fat for the last 3 days the 4th day back was even worse for not eating food & meals!! sorry but you need to eat real food, veggies fruit, whole grains, proteins,lower…

okay.. I have done all of the above at various times in my life..for the last 5-6 years i put the scales away and never took them back out knowing i would be able to tell by the way i felt, and the way my clothes were fitting.......that somehow got away from me and now i find myself 15lbs more than when i put away the…

well......80 proof vodka is 64 cals and a martoooni would have prolly 2 shots thats 128+ just about 1/2 oz. or so of olive juice which would yield some sodium if you skip the olive & just add the juice you could do it now & then i would think! remember the fat in olives is good fat ie:mediteranian diet!! they are pretty…

Body Fortress (walmart) makes a vanilla Whey protein powder that is delish! 140 cals 3 carbs, 2grms fat, 26grms protein, 65 sodium, 1 grm sugar. 1 scoop with water shake with ice. delish~~~ you want you can add vanilla yogurt or fruit, but i like just the water & the powder for a cheap cal/low sugar/ HIGH protein fix!!

try thinking life food plan...not instant gratification! think healthy food and healthy habits....you have already lost 35lbs and should be totally psyched!! thats great!! apparently what you are doing is working!!now.... which sounds more healthy.... processed high sodium food or fresh fruit & veggies....? hang in there…

Amen Amen! started here in FEB. haven't returned to facebook but once to see a photo of my grandchildren!!

Those nutrional facts can't possibly be correct!! calories and sodium would be much higher..also fat..bottom it is saying based on 2000?? who is eating 2000?

sounds yum..i like em with hummus

I use vanilla Whey protein (body fortress brand, 1 scoop has 26 grms protein) put in a handful of berries (any), 1/2 banana, 4 oz. orange juice ( or any kind) 2-3 oz. of lowfat vanilla yogurt, handful of crushed ice. blender...fabulous and low cal high protein

it is waaaaaaaaaayyyyy higher protein i think around 25 grms. I need to get sum a dat!

I find the longer i go without these things the less craving i have for them..try chewing sugarfree gum or suck a sugar free life saver if it's too bad..eventually it will ease up. Everytime you just sneak a bite you start the craving process over again. Hang in there i get it!!:grumble:

yes!! i play 18 holes of golf 3-4 days a week..on those days i'm less hungry..the following day i'm hungry!!

great thread..LOL

lol....

your body needs water to function properly..the more water you drink the less water you will retain..I find the more water I drink the more I crave it...

thanks much!

Hi welcome!. i'm in sedona, az.. .. found this site late feb., very helpful, and many nice people to give you support. Good luck to you!:flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou:

I'm eating more food but more nutrional food..less fast foods, more veggies, smaller portions, always breakfast, i used to skip that alot. I'm watching salt to the point of crazy, I'm more inclined to reject a food for the high sodium content no matter how low the calories are! It just holds the water in your body like you…

sounds great! anyone know the sodium count?

Paul, :wink: thanks for the very good information and good luck to you!

welcome! & good luck!
