My Polar works great. Strap under boobs (yep they're big) against skin. Check the troubleshooting page on the web site and make sure your batteries are new. They could have been sitting around for a ling time before the polar was sold.

I am not photogenic at all. I'm the one behind the camera as well. A couple years ago a supposed friend was taking pictures at a party I attended. I was in several of them without my knowledge. She posted all the pics on her facebook and when I politely asked her to take down the ones I was in, she promptly unfriended me…

Say it aint so! :(

I just bought strip loins and was weighing before freezing. The SMALLEST one was 11.2oz. I cut that in1/2 for my own dinners. The "man size" one I kept aside for my hubs was 14.86oz. I had weighed that one just out of curiosity. He enjoyed and finished every single bite + mushrooms and a large salad. Steak weighs more than…

+1. Do you have any health issues that require keeping track of sugar grams? If not ditch the sugar column and enjoy some yummy summer fruits!

So how much are you trying to lose in 2 months? 5lbs doable, 20 lbs mmmm not so much.

A hubby that cleans the kitchen? Wow what's that like?

You can add me as well. I've been here and done that and back at it now for life.

So they can only drink flavoured/surgary water? Amazing what people can believe.

Looked up the side effects and in RARE cases there is a loss of appetite and weight gain. Edited for spelling

ETA to add: Also keep in mind that anyone can complete an online course and call themselves a Nutritionist. It is not the same qualifications as being a Registered Dietician.

I don't follow that outdated guide either. There are far too many grains on there.

I love that movie. Wish I owned a copy.

I'm curious about this as well. Is it a blood test or....? I've yo yo'd for years, have my thyroid checked at every physical and is always normal.

Thanks, Mine is black with white chest but the one in the pic could be her fathers twin.

LOL agreed, That was bang on!

HAHAHA got me!

WOW, how was this response flag worthy? Very reasonable observation and advice.

LOL, Right! Long weekend on the way. Oh and by the way, couldn't care less about getting that flag from whoever. My bu**$it reservoir is filled to the max and if it spills over on you, it's your own da*n fault.

Why, Why for crying out loud are there suddenly so many threads for losing ridiculous amount of weight or burning stupid amounts of calories in a short time? Seriously, did people just wake up from a coma yesterday and realize summer is only a few weeks away? SMFH!

I totally get your comment on portion sizes. A real portion size is a heck of a lot smaller that what I was eating and my guy is always saying things like "that's all your having?, why bother"? etc. Oh and he big as well. 6'3 and over 300 lbs. Stay strong and positive changes will happen :smiley:

The more time I spend on the site the better I do. I can't say that I have made any friends that I converse with on a regular basis, but that's probably because I don't really put myself out there. I do enjoy lurking on the boards as I find them equally entertaining, informative and sometimes downright frustrating. Lately…

I drink water with lemon all day every day. All it does is make water more palatable to me.

Hopefully mom is right and that 10 lbs just doesn't come off your boobs.

I took phentermine years ago. I does curb your appetite. It also causes dry mouth, heart palpitations, causes sleeplessness. It DOES NOT teach you how to eat wisely. If you haven't mastered portion control you run the great risk of just going back to your old ways and regaining every single pound. I think we all want to…

Excellent advice above. I'm about the same weight but older and started at 1850 and cut back 50 calories a week as I became used to it.
