  • I too, am lamenting the state of the PB forums. It's unfortunate because the blog is such a great resource, I'd like to be able to talk with people reading the same material. Glad to see another Canadian here too!
  • 247.8 today. So not where I was at the end of last week, but closer. Yesterday was a lot of hydration and walking, hoping I'll have evened out by mid week. Lesson learned, cutting the alcohol out while I want to see results. Now to convince my home brewer husband not to tempt me...
  • I'm doing primal as well, and am aware of the 80/20 rule. Just discouraging to be exactly where I was on Jan 1 again, like all the work I have done for the last 2 weeks doesn't count anymore. I am now 250 again, goal weight is 150 but I'll take that a bit at a time when I'm under 200, I'd be ok if my body settled a bit…
  • Since Jan 1. I have over 100 to go, and am aware a couple of those were probably water weight
  • thanks! sorry, didn't know it had been asked so recently. All my searches showed results from 2013.
  • I'm in the same boat, except an estimated year out from surgery (not an emergency, yet!). I've found that keeping my fat below 20 grams prevents some of the symptoms. Alas no eggs, cheese (or most dairy, seem to be able to tolerate 0% greek yogurt), booze, caffeine or oils. I eat a lot of clear soups and have nestle…
  • I'm doing pretty much the same. My friend was in town for my birthday this weekend and too much gluten has me sore, bloated and uggy feeling. So for the next bit I'm off most grains, trying desperately to reduce sugars and trying to load as much nutrition into my body as possible (smoothies, salads, etc help with this).…
  • I'm down 30 since Jan (really slowed the last couple of months), hoping for at least another 15 by my wedding August 2
  • August 2 ladies - we are now at 99 days! how are you doing?
  • Congrats on your engagement! Sounds beautiful! I've been engaged since Dec. 2010 - but we are finally doing it August 2. I will add you as a friend
  • August 2 - I've already lost 20, hoping for another 30 before. Not sure when I should stop and just maintain for the dress though, any ideas how last minute they can do alterations?
  • Me! August 2, we are having a brunch wedding.
  • I'm a bride in Early August - I know what's kicking my butt is looking at the pictures. These are pictures that will be around (hopefully) for a good long while and I don't want to look at my pictures and be sad because I was unhealthy.
  • thank you so much all! I think I may try using a juice-like herbal iced tea (fruity flavour or something similar). I know that such a small amount is not that bad, but according to MFP it's 27 carbs and that is quite a bit considering I'm trying to lower them to under 100.
  • me too - sent some friend requests :)
  • I have ground turkey tonight too! I generally make a "Mexican Mash" - add onion and 1 tomato in the frying pan, some salsa (organic low sodium) and add cheese (I'm primal). I serve over cauliflower or on occasion real rice. kinda like a burrito without the wrapper.
