Back when I could eat bread, I really liked Josephs oat bran and flax seed pita bread.

Surely not in the Hahvid Yahd?!

You complain to your resort manager because there are too many Arabs staying at the resort You look confused when you see a woman in niqab walking arm in arm with a woman in hot pants and a tube-top. You feed the cats when at an outdoor restaurant. You close your eyes and hold your breath every time you get in a taxi. You…

Nothing wrong with losing more than that during the first few weeks since like the poster above stated, it's often mostly excess water being shed. Also, a person who is Super-obese, say, 200 pounds overweight needn't stick to the 2 pounds a week and can still get adequate nutrition while losing more than 2 pounds a week…

Up until a year ago: Morning: let water run over your face while in the shower. Dry off, Brush teeth, apply Drugstore brand moisturizer with SPF... let hair airdry. If going someplace special, apply cosmetics from drugstore. Try not to poke self in eye. BUT now that I'm 42, I found that my skin didn't look as nice as it…

I'm 42 and love Ann Taylor, Macy's, New York and Company, Talbots, J Crew, TJ Maxx, Gap, Old Navy, JCPenny, Nordstrom, I have found tons of clothes in these stores that I love... I can't fit into regular sized clothes yet... But I'm in an 18W so I'm almost there!

I eat my last meal 4 to 6 hours before bedtime... but then I like to have a snack about half hour before I go to sleep. If I don't want the snack because I don't feel hungry, then I don't eat it, but if I'm even the slightest bit hungry and I go to sleep, I won't sleep soundly. For me a snack= a yogurt and half a piece of…

I used to have the LONGEST list: Nutella peanut butter all chips especially with dip popcorn Chinese food Pie.. I can eat an entire pie by myself in a day.. Just a sliver at a time tacos Bread pita chips and hummus cookies of any kind but ESPECIALLY oreos, thin mints, or homemade oatmeal cookies fudge, no matter how rich..…

Nope, I have my activity set as sedentary and don't log my cooking and I cook from scratch with some of it being vigorous such as making dough, whisking mayonnaise by hand, grinding spices by hand... That being said, this is what works for me, if it works for you to add it, then do it.

I had VSG in March of 2013 after losing 70 pounds on my own. I lost an additional 50 pounds after surgery and have been in maintenance for nearly a YEAR now with 80 more pounds still go go! I'm currently living in North Africa and trying to track food is a nightmare here so I just try to follow my good sense with diet and…

During my 42 years on earth? Well over a hundred. During the past 2 years? 3

Green and Blacks DARK 85% ZOMG!!!!!!!!!! It's so flavorful and has awesome mouthfeel.

Bite the bullet for two of three weeks of eating food that tastes undersalted.. Your tastes will adjust and the a small amount of salt will taste "salty" and delicious again. Also, I avoid using a lot of salt while cooking. I undersalt everything and then just sprinkle a tiny bit on top of my food. that way the little bit…

I am a 5'5" female who has had 75% of her stomach surgically removed and I avoid wheat for autoimmune reasons... AND I still have a hard time relating to those who struggle getting enough calories. Eat yogurt with dates and honey.. If you don't do dairy then you can make almond milk yogurt. Make some granola with oats,…

1/4 cup of crazy rice scrambled with one egg. 1/3 cup greek yogurt served over 1 chopped plum and 5 chopped grapes. Coffee with 1/2 cup 2% milk.

I LOVE hummus on sandwiches. And on veggies, and on the spoon.. and on my fingers.. Really the vehicle that brings the hummus to my lips is completely irrelevant. I also really love Mayo and I still eat it, just not as often as I used to and only if I made it myself. I am a bit of a food snob about some things and mayo is…

QUEST for me! If you are avoiding sugar alcohols, please check each flavor at www.questnutrition.com because sugar alcohols and the nutrition information can vary a lot from flavor to flavor. Also, you'll see that they are high in carbs, but it's mostly fiber.

I've been known on occasion to have up to six eggs in a day though I usually eat two. My overall cholesterol is very low at 120-130 and my LDL:HDL is eggcellent .

I make an AWESOME healthy granola that is also ridiculously calorie dense. oats, wheat germ (I omit this if I'm making it for myself since I can't eat it), nuts, seeds, dates, raisins, dried coconut, honey, butter and salt. It's just beyond delicious. I've tried making lower calorie versions of granola but YUCK. no thanks.…

Riding in the back of a pickup truck, on the highway, in a tubetop and terricloth short-shorts. Being 10 years old and babysitting 3 small kids ALL DAY EVERY DAY in the summer and getting paid $1.00 an hour for each child.. I was going to be rich! Disappearing all day to collect aluminum cans. Getting spanked by the…

I have traveled with protein powder with me in ziploc baggies. I've also brought powdered artificial sweetener in small vitamin bottles and never had an issue. I even had my bag searched and they didn't say a thing about it.

Sadly I haven't traveled enough to be able say. I've only visited six countries. Right now I'm living in Tunisia and it's my favorite so far. I love the climate, the food, the souks, the people, the music and the views of the Mediterranean sea.

Going out for a 10K walk and feeling great after instead of feeling like I've been run through the wringer.

I was a manager in a call center before. I will never forget when review/raise time came around and we found out the raise amounts from the director and I found out that the top 20% of reps would get a mere 10 cent an hour raise. I felt like the biggest jerk in the world to deliver a review to a rep who had worked her…

I'm 42 and my highest weight was also 360 giving me a BMI of 60. The worst thing for me was that I felt like I couldn't get a deep enough breath. I'd have to lift my arms over my head sometimes to get a deep breath. UG I will NEVER forget how that felt. Wishing you the very BEST with your weight loss journey.

I AGREE. I have lost a LOT of weight in the past and never got rid of my fat clothes. This time around I'm getting rid of ANYTHING that is a size too big. If I creep back up in weight, I'm going to have to just creep on back down or walk around nekkid because I refuse to buy a larger size if I grow out of my current…

Your silver is AWESOME. I'd DEFINITELY let mine go natural if it could look alive an vibrant like that! Unfortunately I think I'm already taking after my grandmother who had nondescript darkish hair with some dingy grays making the whole thing just look like dirty dishwater.

I'm 42 and I dye my hair because the natural color has become very faded and dull. I used to have a beautiful rich chestnut color hair but a few years ago I noticed that it was just looking "old" not gray.. just old looking. So I boost up my hair with some more vibrant brown with a bit of red mixed in. In the past three or…

Meh no offense taken. I didn't get my surgery in order to gain "respect". I did it because it was the right decision for me.

This is not a GAME.. There is no RULE BOOK. It is not a COMPETITION. When we get down to a normal BMI, nobody gives us a medal. We each do what is best for us in order to live the best life we can. I'm really quite appalled at those who would treat the life and death decisions that we make as though though it were…
