Yes, there is no doubt that people with huge insulin spikes will tend to eat much more because it literally feels like they haven't eaten at all, but I think that was part of what the OP was saying. That she doesn't snack for snacking sake, or mindlessly stuff her face with oreos or necessarily make poor food…

That site is kinda fun, mostly because it shows how different a weight can look on different people of the same height. Just keep your goal at 160lbs and make a new one when you get there if you want:)

You know somebody out there is going to do it now, lol. Next project...documenting my weight loss via BM...>_>

For anyone who might not know much about insulin resistance, a simple in-a-nut-shell explanation is: When you eat carbs, your body naturally releases insulin to move the energy into your cells, but your cells refuse to let it in, keeping you feeling tired like you haven't eaten. Your body will keep releasing insulin to a…

I'll try not to make it too long~ In truth, a lot of the reply post were rather rude, making fun of what the poster had to say and mocking her, not exactly constructive. I think a lot of posters read too much into what she was saying and assumed things about her, she didn't say 'I'm fat and there's nothing I can do about…

Perogies >_<

It's really hard to answer this question because no one can say what it will look like at the end of your journey. If some of the 'flab' is loose untoned muscle then toning will help to tighten it up, and if it is skin then you can try adding muscle after you've lost weight to fill up some of the skin and lift it.…

1lb of muscle does equal 1lb of fat, but Xcubicinches of muscle weighs more than the same Xcubicinches of fat. I think it's quite difficult to build enough muscle to counter fat loss as far as the scale is concerned so I don't think it is that. Maybe if you're out and about more, you're not drinking enough water and…

So I read through the first 3 and they are talking about verylowcalorie diets/modified fasts which is very specific and resulting in an extreme rapid weight loss. We're talking under 300cal a day for 3months or so, and in the 3rd one they only tested up to 8weeks after the fast which show a slight increase in RMR but not…

Consider this though, If you were to pick up some magazine that had some article labelled top 100 Bachelors/Bachelorettes, with mainly celebs of some sort, how many of the eligible women do you think would be overweight/chubby? zero most likely. Would this be the case for the men? Probably not. I'm not saying you would see…

so true

Putting the scale in your car trunk, Lol, that's a good idea:) The closet is too easy to get to :tongue: I like the idea of taping over the first digit too, then it's not this huge weight staring at you reminding you how far you have to go:grumble:

Coconut cherry smoothies you say! Yum, now I will have to try one :)

If you eat a lot of grain carbs, try removing half of your usual portion from every meal and filling it with more veggies(green is best!) instead.

I've started trying to follow something close to the paleodiet, which involves cutting out grains and dairy, and I have to say I feel great when I follow it and my weight loss is steadier. Just have to watch that my fruit intake isn't too much. The best thing you can do to start is remove all processed foods from your diet…

It's really up to your personal preference but I would say no more than once a week! If you can wait 2 weeks between weigh-ins, even better! You need to check somewhat regularly to make sure you're movng in the right direction but weight loss is always slower than we wish it to be and if you're anything like me, nothing is…
