That reminds me! For my first anniversary to my 2nd husband, my now ex SIL gave us a 4-pack of toilet paper, and a roll of paper towels for a gift. I was not amused! I told her I bought in bulk and she could take them home with her.
-
Worst gift ever was an electric push lawn mower from my ex who knew that I had been cutting grass before we got married on a riding mower. I wasn't pissed that it was a push mower. I was pissed it was electric. Who cuts grass with something so dangerous! Idiot.

How much fruit are we allowed a day? I am setting 2 as my limit. I may end up fixing some coleslaw if I get hungry. The entire problem is that I woke up congested this morning and have had to make myself eat today.

Hi! Would have dropped in earlier, but I've been on a nutrition search since I logged on. :D Welcome to the group. Do I detect a scent of vanilla, or is that eau de cologne? :laugh: Sending you a friend request.

BUMP! I haven't been through the entire list of comments, but from what I've seen, with 20 pages, I'm bound to get plenty of ideas! Thanks for the post! :flowerforyou:
-
BUMP for later! Great post and discussions. :flowerforyou:
-
Bump. Thanks. I needed to read this!

Thank you for posting. It could very well have been me you were writing about, and I am so glad I found MFP. I'm in the stage of relearning how to eat, and getting back to exercising. I cut my carb addiction last month, after years of surviving on mostly bread, pasta, rice and beans, and fruit. I have eaten very little…

What I'm seeing is too long between meals, and not enough fiber. Oat bran helps, and you can add between 1.5 - 2 TBS to a serving of fat free, reduced sugar yogurt daily. Lower your carb intake too, and increase your protein. That should help you drop weight.
-
Up your protein and green vegetables (antioxidants & vitamins) and definitely try to get in all your recommended calories. I notice a huge change in energy if I don't meet mine, and while lower calories may help you lose weight fast at first, it isn't very healthy if you're exercising. Plus, so many of us who are…

{{{Hugs}}} I am so sorry you had to experience embarrassment in front of complete strangers. I have not had this happen to me because of my weight, but because I have to use a wheelchair. Keep your chin up, hon! You have done awesome so far on your journey, and you should be proud of what you've accomplished!
-
Welcome! This site is great! Keep us up to date on how you're doing. I wish you much success on your new journey. It may not always be easy, but it will be worth it all in the end. xx

My name is Denise and I am addicted to bread - specifically, pastries oozing in butter with gobs of jam. I don't miss either one. I would kill for a big ol' bowl of Chinese rice about now though! :laugh:
-
I've been over ever since I start tracking! I'm cutting my yogurt intake until I can find some with less sugar.
-
Where I come from, that's not bragging! Way to go! :)
-
I log everything. I especially log my water intake because I'm not used to drinking it and I get that "yay" factor in when I hit my 8 glasses. :laugh:

Back boobs! Can we small chested women have transplants? :laugh:

Coffee in any form = YUMM!! I know what I'm having tomorrow! ::smile: @cupotee, that does sound weird, but you know, pregnancies have made women eat strange stuff, so if it works...Carry on! :laugh:

I use strawberry flavored and mix it with Lactaid 100% skim milk. Too hot for oatmeal, so I'll have to remember that, and bananas are on the grocery list. lol

I'm following the Dukan Diet, which is similar to the Atkins diet, but the fat content is lower. Most of my protein is in the form of dairy, and all of that is fat free or very low fat. You're basically going to relearn how to eat in stages. The sugar cravings only last a few days, and then they will disappear. Look at it…
-
Way to go!

Mine is consistently high. I'm not eating fruit for another 2 weeks, and today I'm only over 2 points. I'm going to have to check my yogurt before I buy another container since that's the problem with mine. I know where it is, so I'm now limiting it. Sugar is in everything. If it ends in "tose" as in fructose, dextrose, or…
-
Which protein shake mix did you get? I'm using Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein and it has 52g of protein. I don't put egg whites in it. I use 2 scoops in a 12 oz. glass of Lactaid 100% fat free milk. I don't add anything else to it, because I don't want the extra calories or carbs.

Found it through a friend on FB. I'm getting slowly weaned from that site! lol

First off, way to go on your weight loss! I did some searching for you. Exercise, and plenty of it are the only way to lose it without going in for a tummy tuck. Crunches, and the eliptical machine at the gym were recommended. Wishing you lots of luck! :smile:
-
I'm glad you asked, and I've read all the replies with interest! I've been wanting to add weights to my workouts, and since I'm just starting, I may just hold off for a little while longer. I'm going to be avoiding the scale for a couple of weeks when I do start! :laugh: I know I'll flip out if I see the weight I've lost…

1 day :)

I have 62lbs to lose, and just getting started. I've lost 7lbs in the past week with eating pure protein, which helps you lose weight because it's harder to digest. If you've been exercising, the additional weight may be muscle mass since it weighs more than fat. Don't get discouraged! Food choices are important too. Pure…
