  • From my personal experience and a few others I know. Carbs can cause one to retain water (esepcially starchy bread carbs for me). That is one reason I thoroughly believe people who start "no" carbing and lose all that weight the first week will find it was mostly water weight they lost. I have no scientific proof of this,…

  • What an amazing story! You gave me a lot of hope. I am 36 and was diagnosed diabetic and with high blood pressure. I lost a lot of weight after the initial diabetic diagnosis just due to food changes, then I gained 17 of it back. Then diagnosed high bp, so now I am trying to lose ALL the weight. I am always so worried…

  • I made bbq sandwiches tonight with sweet potatoe french fries. I boiled the chicken breasts, shredded them down added a small container of bbq sauce (an onion would be good too, but we had none) salt, and pepper. Heat it up again on the stove, and serve on bread. (I used a normal hamburger bun that was too many calories.…

  • I would love to play, but I am going out of town middle of this coming week, and then the following week for 2 weeks. I will have very limited access to a scale much less the internet. :-(

  • Congratulations! That is a big goal for me too. I have about 58 pounds to go to get there. I do my weigh in on Wednesday, hopefully I am closer. I love the "ONE-derland" expression. I am so stealing that! Keep up the good work! And yes losing weight for health reasons is the ONLY reason (for me) to lose weight. I am 36…

  • I was diagnosed diabetic weighing 295 pounds in December 2009, and I lost 55 pounds after that. Then, I came to Sweden to be with my fiance and a year later after Christmas I was eating badly again. I gained 10 pounds back, and I stopped being as active and was also diagnosed with high blood pressure. Then, I went to the…
    in What was your "That's It!" Moment? Comment by verlouria July 2011
  • I just gave my fiance 75% of my chocolate pudding we made tonight. It was low calorie, but it was too sweet. I decided I would rather use the calories on something else. That is when I gave the pudding to him. LOL

  • I tried to make these this morning and mine did not come out so well. They tasted marvelous, but they were not as they should be. How big is the 3/4 size medium banana. I used a whole 7" banana and whites from 3 eggs. When you say "All Whites" from the carton what are you referring to? All the whites from a carton of 6…

  • There's an Australian show called "What's Good For You" and they did a segment once about this doctor who did research on the most efficient and effective way to lose weight. He said basically the same thing about short bursts of exertion to raise the heart rate then a short rest period and so on. They said they came up…

  • Cindy, I just started on here about 6 days ago. I'm diabetic, so I am accustomed to eating low carb, but my recent problem was binging on sweets. So, I came here for some accountability and the food/exercise diaries. I also wanted to eat more fruit and have some rice and whole wheat pasta here and there. I had too much…

  • I have actually been doing physical therapy for lower back pain, which was also causing sciatica (sp ck), and what I do in the gym is a lot of strength training on my back muscles, arms, and stomach muscles. I have been doing them for about 4 months now, and I am no longer in pain when I get up from sitting or laying down.…
