Addiction or Obsession .. either way I've got it. I've had more success in my weight loss efforts when I FOCUS on food and pay attention to what I am going to cook, eat, take to work for lunch and so on ... then when I have tried to fight it and ignore it. when I fight it, I get too hungry & then over eat. Food is not the…

Hi Cherapple, I have really enjoyed reading your writings about being vegetarian and how you decided to step off that wagon for a cleaner eating lifestyle. I've been mainly vegetarian for 6 months now. I say mainly because I've been known to melt along with the butter that drizzles over things at Red Lobster. :love: . I'm…

Does anyone do any food combining ? Are there proper combinations of food to prevent heartburn, indigestion, bloating and gas? Or is it just specific foods that cause those symptoms? Are all foods digested in the same type of stomach acid? fruit, vegetables, complex carbs and meat? Does anyone take antacid or anti-reflux…

Ahhh come on !! Type in the extras .... once they are added to your list of foods it's easy to add them the next time. One step at a time, one good choice at a time ... just a tiny bit of effort everyday. That's how you'll reach your 50 lb goal :wink: You're worth it !

Hi WantToBeMoreActive, I don't know if this will help you but it has SERIOUSLY worked for me. I've stopped mixing proteins with rice, pasta, potatoes, bread and other such carbs. I'll eat fish with vegetables and salad or ... vegetable sticks with grilled chicken fingers ... Only Protein & Veg OR Only Carbs & Veg I'll eat…

Since most of you have "poo pooed" :laugh: the idea of colon cleansing ... I guess it's time to flush this thread down the toilet. For those of you who are open minded to the idea of colon therapy ( I AM NOT talking about taking herbal remedies, pills & tonics here) I will give you a brief update of my experience. I choose…

Day 2 for me this week - I burned 815 calories, after 60 minutes, at level 6 and 7. Hi yeahbuddy, I don't know why you aren't burning more either. I am 45 ... 46 on the 2nd ... I've never had my machine to 11 and don't even know if it goes that high so maybe your machine is different "levels" than the rest of ours?? I love…

Weighing after everything you eat does sounds a bit extreme ... but what do you mean by "it got you into trouble last time?"

[/quote] So, if someone tells you that you are full of "it" you can say NU UH!!! :laugh: :laugh: [/quote] Tooo FUNNY !!! I'm going to use that line.

Songbyrdsweet, it is true ... Available scientific evidence does not support the claims on which colon therapy is based. It is known that most digestive processes take place in the small intestine, where nutrients are absorbed into the body. What remains enters the large intestine, where it passes to the rectum for…

I weigh myself every morning at about the same time ... it helps me stay focussed on my goals and to keep meal planning & exercise high on my daily priority list. What's the big deal? Why are you all so angry at yourselves for weighing in? I don't get it. ... seems to me you're just adding stress and anxiety to an "issue"…

I had colon therapy today and it wasn't a bad experience at all. I lost 2 lbs of baked on crud. I have booked 6 more sessions over the next 3 weeks, to really give this cleansing idea a fair chance. A clean colon will help my body function in the proper manner and help my weight loss efforts. I also did a parasite cleanse…

The earth that we live on is comprised of 70% water. ... and ... Our body is made up of 70% water. ... so ... Does it not make sense to eat water dense food to keep that body healthy? That translates to 70% fresh fruit and fresh vegetables and 30% concentrated foods (Protein/Carbs/Dairy). It's worth thinking about when you…

Tonight will be French Onion soup that I have simmering away in the crock pot. When every one gets home, I'll put the soup in bowls, add a crusty piece of WW bread and top with Gruyere cheese (or Mozzarella) then bake until bubbly. I'm serving this with a large fresh vegetable salad, lightly tossed in my own olive oil &…

PS ... oh ya ... and where is the site the you can enter in ingredients for a recipe to get the calorie counts?
-
Sorry, this has probably been asked before .... but I understand My Fitness pal has put me at 1200 CALORIES per day but where does it tell you how much PROTEIN that you need everyday? I can click on "report" and see how much I've had ... but that doesn't do me any good if I don't know what I am reaching for. Also how about…

Wow !! .... that was great !! You've reminded me of other things that I too, want to be free of. "To walk into a room and not say "I'm the biggest person here" This is worth it, I am worth the effort !!! We have so much to look forward to .... we can do this ! ... I'll set a healthier example for my daughter ... I won't…
