DUE TO THE CREEP ON FRIDAY NIGHT...
Due to the creep who was on here Friday night, I would suggest.... mind you, this is a suggestion... that everyone use the new feature Mike put on here to change your user name (possible only one time) to not reflect your real name in any form. I would also suggest that we just use peoples initials instead of their names…

I commit myself anew to healthy eating this morning after a weekend of UGH...... Yummy ugh, but ugh nevertheless as I gained 2 pounds.

Joke for Hot Mamas
For all of us "hot mamas" out there: A doctor was walking to his office, and saw an elderly gentleman he had had an office visit with recently. He was smiling broadly, and had a beautiful young woman on his arm. The doctor told him he was looking fine! The man replied, "Just taking your advice.." "And that was?" the doctor…

NUTRITION ADVICE FOR A SWIMTEAM SWIMMER
This is such an awesome community, and so full of "fitness gurus", of which I am definitely NOT, I would like to ask your nutrition advice for my son.

I just can't imagine....
I am down 8 pounds, and I have fought for every single one of them. I just cannot imagine being down 20 or 35. I know from Bank's posts that I am entering a hard phase, week 3. I have never made it past week 4, never. The thought that I may at some point be down 50 is so unbelievable to me, I dare not even think about…

WHAT CALORIE DEFICIT FOR UNHEALTHY BMI?
I read the posts, but I'd like to see up front how much of a calorie deficit should one be going by with an unhealthy BMI say over 30? I tried the math, and know I have LOTS of body fat, so I know I can take a larger deficit. What is the lowest one should go with obese BMI?

Potato Fries
I usually use Idaho potatoes for this. Slice your potatoes into 8ths long ways. Place them in a bowl and add chopped fresh rosemary (or dried), garlic salt, parmesan cheese (however much you want) and drizzle olive oil over it. Toss them to coat and place them on a greased cookie sheet (actually, I use my jelly roll pan)…

THANK YOU MIKE
:flowerforyou: I know I'm rather new here, but I cannot thank you enough for this site. I truly feel, for the first time ever, that I will be able to meet my goals. I am not a person to go to meetings for weight. Hate them. I had found a different website, before I found this one, that offered a prize to the people who…

Fresh Roasted Coffee and Tea???
A great cup of tea is a good thing to go for when you want a snack But, I am such a coffee fanatic that I get green beans from a warehouse in Houston (Lola Savannah) and roast them in my hot-air popcorn popper. After sitting overnight, and fresh ground the next morning, the coffee is so incredibly good I just cannot go…

Hard Copy/Why it's Hard for a Woman to lose Weight
Here's the hard copy of why it's harder for a woman to lose weight while exercising than men.

Today is a NEW Day
After a food extravaganza with two birthday parties and company on Sunday, the weekend was a total bust. Gained back all but one pound that I had previously lost. BUT, I'm happy today is a brand new day, a brand new start; the weekend is totally gone never again to be revisited.

PeriMenopause, Menopause and Metabolism
Are there any others out there who have had a problem with this? This, I believe, has been my biggest weight loss challenge. I finally went to the doctor about it, thinking it was an antidepressant I was on (and have since weaned myself of) and he said it is definitely a hormonal (or lack thereof) problem. You find you…

Mind Games
Really, for those of us with weight loss problems, much of it is a game with our mind. If we can convince our minds that we do not need that cake, that it will make us sick. There are lots of tricks we can use. Here's one: Before eathing anything unhealthy, fill up on something healthy. For instance, if chips are calling…

Newbie again
I started this in 07 and forgot about it. Since then I have gained 10 pounds. Ugh. I'm trying to get motivated. I am currently trying the Slim Seduction pills, but haven't received them yet. I also ordered the SlimShotdiet effervescent tablets and the Hoodia Bites. We'll see if that works. The tablets are highly rated on…
