OMG, BEST SPAM EVER.... Sounds like really bad poetry slam.

Meh, I had 70% of my stomach surgically removed and thrown into a Mexican biodump. Hands down, best decision I ever made. I don't give a fat rat's *kitten* if y'all think I'm a lazy, easy-way-out-taking, cheater.

Top it with seasoned ground beef and spoon it into romaine lettuce boats. ZOMG!

There have been twin studies comparing perceived ages of a fatter vs a thinner twin.. People perceive the fatter twin to be younger. This is because a fatter face is more associated with YOUTH and the fat can fill out sagging skin and wrinkles. I DEFINITELY look much older now but I'm fine with it because I'm looking more…

I can't tell you HOW MUCH I MISS WHEAT!!!!!! When I first decided to do an elimination diet to see if something I was eating might be contributing to my autoimmune diseases, I was convinced that maybe I'd have a problem with Dairy or eggs. I was prepared to give up dairy and eggs forever. I was absolutely horrified when I…

I'm sorry you didn't find relief due to eliminating gluten. I'm glad you gave it a try though! I was up to I think 150mcg of synthroid (not positive of the does, I could be wrong) and now I'm completely off of synthroid and all those muscle aches and foggy head that comes with having thyroid issues are GONE. Unfortunately…

Not an unreasonable question.. but NOPE, I realized the benefits of going wheat-free prior to losing the weight. Once I went wheat-free and actually started to feel better, I was able to start focusing on my weightloss.

You do realize I do not have celiac disease, but since eliminating wheat from my diet, the pain from RA has reduced by about 80%, I'm off my medication for acid reflux, my twice weekly migraines have been completely eliminated and my doctor took me completely off my thyroid medication revealing a completely NORMAL thyroid…

If you're looking for a way to get more vegetables into your body without a lot of extra calories then I suggest soup. Also if you're not accustomed to veggies, then try chopping them very small and putting them in your soups or sauces. When I make chili, I always put cauliflower, carrots, green beans, broccoli and kale in…

Check each individual item and see if it gives the breakdown of type of fat in it....Not all items in the database break down the types of fat.

If it's accompanied with light headedness, shortness of breath and/or fainting then yes, you should be concerned because that would mean that the slow beats are not caused by your fitness, but rather due to an electrical problem in the heart that causes the heart to beat more slowly than it needs to in order to get enough…

Fit, healthy and overweight? ABSOLUTELY! Fit, healthy and morbidly obese, not so much. All my numbers are optimal except my weight. Blood pressure is 106/70 resting heart rate is around 60 (sometimes as low as 58 sometimes as high as 62) Lipid panel is perfect with overall cholesterol in the 120's.. Liver enzymes?…

I'm 5'5" and 238 pounds and even I have had people tell me that I don't need to lose any more weight. I think it's just because people are so used to seeing me at 340-360 pounds that it's such a shocking change and they can't imagine me any thinner. I just try to be patient with them because I know that the majority are…

Well you're better off with no support than living with those who will sabotage you. When they ignore you, count your blessings that at least they're not trying to sabotage you! Just look within for validation of your weight loss goals. If you're feeling left out when everyone else is having their late night munchies, then…

Dear Younger sister, This type of behavior is not appropriate or acceptable from Grandma, Dad, or Stepmother. What makes you think it would be acceptable from YOU? How can I help you establish normal and appropriate relationships and boundaries with people before it becomes too late and you believe that the way in which we…

YAY!!!!! I'm glad you tried them on before they got too big for you to enjoy!

Even when I stick to the exact same calories and routine for months on end, I'll have multiple weeks in a row where I lose nothing and then I'll have times when I lose 5 pounds over 3 days. Often times when you see a "big change" after eating junk food or whatever, you would have had that change anyway. It's just…

My guess is yes. If you simply calculated your muscle mass by subtracting your body fat from it then your calculation would be incorrect. You lost 5.1 kg of lean body mass which is EVERYTHING in your body that is not fat, including muscle, water and any other non fatty tissue. Sorry I didn't catch how you calculated it in…

In what universe are you going to consume 100g of arabic gum? I don't know exactly how much arabic gum is required to thicken things because I use corn starch but I think it's comparable. Corn starch has 381 calories in 100 grams. I use about 10 grams to thicken a batch of chicken broth and milk for a creamier soup. or to…
-
I'm no expert but that is quite a bit higher than my experience so far. I don't have my exact current stats with me but I remember when I was at around the 100 pound loss mark, I had lost just under 2 pounds of muscle.. the rest was fat and excess retained water. Maybe it's different for me because I have SO MUCH weight to…

Huh, I eat several eggs a day.. and red meat, and chicken with the skin,, and shrimp... my overall cholesterol is 127 with optimal ldl:hdl . Eating cholesterol rich foods has had zero impact on my blood cholesterol levels.

I've lost 120 and my skin is sooooo wrinkly and saggy already. I knew it would be.. Even when I was heavier, it was saggy. I had a friend who lost 130ish pounds with gastric bypass.. her skin looked like she had never been fat.- so everyone is different. Your skin may retract some as time goes by. The less time you've been…

For many people, appearance is their only is their only motivator to lose weight so it completely confuses them why somebody who "looks good" would want to lose. They might think that you're just not satisfied with your looks and want to become "stick thin". Most people have NO IDEA what "obese" looks like. Even with me at…

Under nourished and overfed. So easy to do when you live on cheap instant mac and cheese, raman noodles, Bar-S hotdogs and Little Debbie snack cakes.

LOL, I saw a camel head and skin hanging outside of the butcher shop the other day. It's the only camel I've seen here other than the ones they have in the resort towns... though I do still see donkey carts even in the capital city.

My fat(er) self made the decision to improve. My fat(er) self was just as awesome as my current less-fat self. Why would I beat myself up over the fact that I had a very real struggle with something for 40 years but I did not give up. Even when I was fat(er) wasn't ashamed of my struggle with my weight despite the fact…

I assure you it's not deliberate. Ridiculous that after 10 years of LIVING in a western state, I still could not pronounce Nevada or Oregon correctly? Perhaps. But deliberate? No.

For my nephew's party, I made jedi clothes for all the kids and made light sabers by cutting sections of foam that you use to wrap insulate pipes with and wrapping with colorful ductape. You can do something like this.. they can watch star wars and then beat the crap out of each other with foam light sabers. Seriously at…

I was at a resort and heard a group of tourists complaining about the resort and stating that they would not return due to there being too many Arabs staying there. Yeah. you're visiting an ARAB country and complaining that there are too many ARABS around? Yeah, what a fabulous way to learn a new culture.
