The QUEEN of the Green Smoothie... http://blenditandmendit.com/

Normally, I would agree with you. However, during my last successful weight loss, I generally ended up around the same amount of calories after exercise--but I simply monitored caloric intake rather than carb intake and I had no problems. I never felt bad at all. I certainly never felt faint. With this current plan, I…

I certainly hope that none of these people are watching TV, looking at billboards as they drive down the road, or have the misfortune to pass a Mickey D's on the way to the gym. If the typed description of a coupon deal is enough to send them into a fast food frenzy, imagine what happens when they are bombarded with the…

Skipping breakfast = face plant into my computer keyboard by 8:00 A.M. No thanks.

At Thanksgiving, I sauteed (halved) brussel sprouts with shallots and garlic in a tiny bit of olive oil. I tossed them, asparagus spears, and baby carrots in olive oil, salt, and black pepper. I then roasted them for 40 minutes at 350. Delish!

One half cup of Trader Joe's lentils and a big ol' bowl of steamed cauliflower and broccoli sauteed in a small amount of olive oil with fresh garlic. And the prerequisite cup of green tea required with meals in the 17 Day Diet.

The 17 Day Diet by Dr. Mike Moreno. I'm beginning day three of the first cycle and I'm down 4 pounds. I don't feel the least bit deprived and I am actually having a hard time packing 1200 calories into a day. The program consists of three 17 day cycles--each one a little bit more food flexible--most people can expect to…

I am on day three of the first cycle. I've lost 4 pounds as of this morning--first time I've been below 170 in six months. I'm eating chicken, eggs, salads, lots of veggies, two fruits and two yogurts every day, along with green tea with each meal, and as much water as I can pack in. I'm having a hard time just getting to…

:I definitely understand the challenges. I'm right there along with you. I haven't quite figured out how to add folks, but feel free to add me. I'm working on a 30 plus loss myself--right at "that" age. bigsmile: The more folks we can be accountable to, the better.

Actually, lobsters own the "cockroach of the sea" title. Cockroaches are their nearest living land relative.... Consequently, I avoid them like the plague. Also lima beans--can't abide the little buggers. Other than that, I stay away from processed foods and I'm currently avoiding carbs because I'm in the first phase of…

Wow! BIG thanks to all who sent me the friend requests. Let's do this thing! :)

Hi! Feel free to friend me...not quite sure how that works.
