Okay so it is the 6th day after having my gallbladder removed and I am sitting here with extreme gas pains and chills and know very soon I will end up in the bathroom. Why, you may ask? Well, because I consumed a cup of DECAF coffee with no sugar and a little Vanilla Almond Milk which is low fat! For me anyways, I think it…

lol don't bother me that isn't my problem it is the way people write. I have a friend love her dearly, we went to school together but her facebook posts make me think she has always been a redneck hick the way she spells and writes. No offense to southerners just she moved to Kentucky a few years ago from Massachusetts and…

I am American and I still get what you are saying. My teen daughter and her friends on Facebook deliberately go out of their way to destroy the enlish language. The things they write half the time don't make sense since they are real words meshed with the made up or it is overly abbreviated. Our kids seem to be dumbing…

That sounds like a yummy alternative. I must try it soon, cuz I am having tiramisu withdrawals. I agree life without tiramisu would be the end of me. :sad: :cry: :bigsmile: :laugh: PS Curious would half of mascarpone cheese and light cream cheese suffice and still be tasty and somewhat healthy? I am thinking some baileys…

does anyone know what I could substitute for the yogurt? Me and my husband are just not big yogurt fans. I have tried but the after taste makes me literally want to gag. LOL any info. would be appreciated. THANKS!! :wink:

I second this!! ;) Thanks for the recipes!! :flowerforyou:

Sounds absolutely delish! Can't wait to try this and thank you for sharing!! :flowerforyou: :drinker:

Damn, I take a dump and I lose some weight! ;p However, seriously I would focus on eating non-processed foods maybe fruit and veggie smoothies and a lowfat dinner for a couple of weeks, also cut unwanted sodium. Do AM cardio and PM toning exercises, like tabata which will help lose extra weight and tone you. Good luck!…

You look great and I love the colour of your dress! I giggled a little at your other daughter's comment. That is kids for ya. My son (6 years old) doesn't say I look fat anymore. LOL I guess that is comforting. LOL Congrats on stepping out of your comfort zone and trying a new you, it really flatters you! :drinker: :wink:

That is awesome girl and I am glad you saw the difference your new lifestyle has done for you! Keep it up and soon you will be flaunting some serious threads among other things! :drinker: :wink: :laugh:

forget the clothes, I wanna know how you got those cut arms? ;)

I second this, and want to add that I also have been on quite a few and some have been worse than others and my Doctor did warn me it makes you crave food and made me tired as all hell. So here I was eating more and tired so that I had no energy both work against you and make it hard to lose the weight, but I have found…

Sorry Gary but I am dropping out cuz it all just seems too confusing with all the stuff I have going on at home here. I wish you all luck and trust me I by no means am balking out on my usual exercises and cardio on my own! Thanks for the invite and message. Perhaps some other time when things are less hectic. God speed…

I am 3 quarters portuguese and never heard of tomatoes in kale soup. LOL I use sliced portuguese sausage (Linguica, very flavorful), kale, diced onions, low sodium beef stock, Red Kidney Beans, a little olive oil, cubed potatoes, red cooking wine, water, a dash of lemon pepper or lemon juice and you could add in lean stew…

AGREED!!

See that is why I didn't do this diet plan it just sounds absurd to me. I could never give up meat and go all vegetarian as this diet suggests for my blood type. If your friend is losing but is miserable in the long run she will gain it all back because she is well miserable and giving up something she loves that is…

I love those scriptures you chose in your tag! ;)

You look great hun! awesome job!!

Your CW and weight loss and height is almost the same as mine! I am 5'1" was 195 and am at 164 now! ;)

LMAO I wish I had the .5" I am only 5'1" and I have always been thin but after having three kids and antidepressants life caught up with me. I lost the weight after my oldest daughter who is now almost 16 years old and ten years after she was born I had two more kids in a row in my early thirties and that is when it all…

I do the same exact thing! The chocolate chips are awesome cold too! I keep them in my freezer! Yum!

I find my anger come to the surface and help push my *kitten* jogging and running and then release and I feel better! It has to be the endorphins!

bikini and of course corsets tons of them with anything and everything!! ;)

Welcome put the last bite in cuz this will be your first and last kiss goodbye to the old lifestyle!! You can do it but you NEED to want it!! Good luck!We are all here doing the same thing so you are not alone in your journey!! ;)

Hun, you look absolutely amazing!! WTG!! ;)

Whatever you do don't go on Effexor/Venlafaxine or you will gain weight I did. I went from 120 to 195 lbs. on it. I have taken prozac before but don't remember if it made me lose or gain any weight. I don't think it was significant in any direction. I am just happy finally I have a doctor that doesn't recommend Effexor to…

Yeah inquiring minds want to kow, I want to know?! ;p

LOL same here! Hi, everyone, my name is MiladyMetal and I am addicted to MFP! I blame it on the awesome community recipes and the fact I cannot stop logging everything in, it just gives me a thrill. XD

I have homemade peanut butter chocolate chip granola cereal and a clementine or fruit smoothie! Other mornings I will have 1 whole egg with 3 egg whites spinach and goat cheese omelette and i wheat toast or homemade lowfat garlic potatoes.

I add about a tablespoon of sliced almonds to my spinach and goat cheese salads with my mandarin oranges just about everyday. I also love to grab a quick half a handful of them just before or after my workouts of almonds or sunflower seeds! YUM!
