Oops - I missed the 30g per meal. Mine is 20g per day. 30g is not bad AT ALL! And very, very do-able!

I am on a very low carb diet as well, due to a metabolic syndrome (Yeah, I don't handle carbs well either) I do 20g a day. Sometimes I get up to around 30g, but not often. Also, keep in mind when you do a low carb diet, you look at the carb count and then you subtract the fiber (and sugar alcohols) for the net carb # and…

One time, a guy cut me off in the car, I had to honk at him or he would have hit my car, honking at him gave him time to re-adjust his car and when all was in the clear, he cut me off and hard. (pissed cause I honked at him and defensive he got caught driving like a jerk) So when I eventually passed him, I looked over and…

I am doing it due to a metabolic syndrome and my Dr suggested this to me (we've tried other things) and I definitely have an issue with sugar and carbs, and sugar, carbs cause a binge in my case. For now, our plan is to cut out my carbs for a few weeks and keep it under 20g just like Atkins. I will go back in for some more…

I've got 140 to lose! So I will join you! If you want to be buddies for motivation or anything else, let me know. I'm looking for the same! I will friend you right now!

Never heard of it. But I agree - if there was a magic pill, we'd all be skinny! Google it. There have been times I have been so tempted to try something (Informercials can suck me in like no one's business) and I've learned to google the product first - usually pages and pages come up about the scam and it not working AND…

How do you count your wine? None of them have a calorie count, so do you just use a general caloric amount? I love my wine, but I know some have to be much higher in calories than others due to the high sugar content. I tend to like the dryer reds and whites. Just wondering how to figure out the calories for an 8oz glass…

That's so awesome! Congratulations to her!!!

I did NOT KNOW THAT!!! OMG! WOW! I'm going to try that. I had no clue. I think I saw someone say they scanned something, but i didn't really think about it. I just downloaded the app to my phone. So I can tell I'm going to have too much fun with that! LOL! Thank you!

me again - and not to mention a terrible blood sugar swing down to so low that it's unhealthy for your body and you won't bounce back well from it either. You lose water weight, but that's about it. You will be miserably sick if you mess with your blood sugar like that. And if you do go on a water fast, don't plan to do…

Um, not good at all and I would never do one. Talk about screwing up the electrolytes in your body, the minerals (want bad, bad, bad muscle cramps?) You'll get sick and sick quick. If you want to do a liquid diet, then do slimfast (although I disagree with the shake diets too, but at least give your body some vitamins and…

Prize money is a good motivator. But they still have to want it for themselves in order to succeed. Start a weekly pot. Have people put $5 or $10 in a pot each weigh in. Or have everyone give $20 one time, then say, whoever loses the biggest percentage of weight at the end of 12 weeks, wins that pot. Start all over again.…

Wow, you were a big help there bucko. Who cares how she spells it. And binging is not about eating healthy. if she was able to eat healthy and stop that cycle, she wouldn't be binging. Troll post if you ask me. I'm glad you are seeking help sweetie! But if you really feel that on the edge, call someone now.
-
Are you serious????!!!! He actually put those words to paper? Wow! I can't believe he suggested nicotine. SMH. I would never, ever try that one! If you've hit a plateau, cycle your calories up and down for a few days and switch up exercise.

How do you stop though? This is my biggest struggle, as I'm sure it's most of yours too, or you wouldn't be here. It's like I have blinders on. And I don't stop, I keep going, EVEN THOUGH I KNOW I should not. I mean, I wouldn't take cocaine, I wouldn't take heroin, because I know they are bad for me and kill me, but at my…

I think you handled it wonderfully! Sometimes, people who haven't been there before, don't know any better (well, yes they do) but they REALLY, REALLY don't know. I'm glad you shared with them, told them about your journey and showed them photos. It was good that you could share yourself and your experience with them. They…
