WOW!! Sorry to hear about the kidney failure. I hope you are doing okay now.
She is down 90 lbs, and has kept it off (for the most part).
WOW! Good for her!! That is no easy task. You both must look like completely different people.
So far so good. I'm hoping it stays this way.
hey , just a FRiendly FReeper "heads-up" ,...
... I'm sorta distracted a the moment , but I'll get back to you
... it is quite easy , and from being somewhat knowledgable about juicers and juicing ,...
... I bought the Samson GB-9001 [there are others similar in design] because of...
#1 makes high quality juice that will keep longer than centrifugally made juice
#2 easy to use and CLEAN
#3 price
FReepmail me and I'll let you know how its a fine tuning of the process , LOL!!
ROTFL!! If only that were true! I'd be a skinny minnie tomorrow with the time I spend on this thing!
It's supposed to have 5 grams of digestible carbs per serving. Google it and look around. Some people are not convinced. Perhaps because it tastes so good. I was on a very low carb diet for awhile and lost 25 lbs., but my digestive system was really out of whack. I needed to put some carbs back in my diet and exercise more.
:-D
Please add me to your ping list. I'm trying to get back in the swing of things with Weight Watchers :( Thanks!
You're added!
President Bush, is that you????
"It is a shame you have to tell adults this. Or even children for that matter. Since people seem to be respecting this, then are gross names or gratuitous pictures of persons with problems ever necessary? Shock. You are proving there can be a dignified discussion about weight."
Yes. Everyone knows it's wrong, and it's just bad behavior whether they are children or adults. The really odd part is that those who are notorious bashers and the like, don't even like being made fun of, themselves. So they think if they subscribe to the theory of, bash first before you're bashed, they're the better person. But that's just the philosophy of the devil...
I found a great yogurt today at Whole Foods. Just passing on the info!
http://www.woodstockwaterbuffalo.com/
yup , that is good yogi ,...
... we get it at Gourmet Garbage , here on the yUpper West Side
The fermented dairy products don't have the same ill effects on me that regular milk does. This yogurt was great. There's another yogurt, a greek style called Fagi that is also good. Get a bag of frozen fruit and put it in there. Better than Dannon (what junk!).
yup , and I'm so glad we have this thread/pingList
... it appears that working at health is a "hippie thing" around here [sometimes]
... I got Flamed for advocating a healthy practice , by a FReeper I'd never seen before[and I'm on here daily]
I loooooove Whole Foods. We have one right next to our regular grocery store. They had huge blood oranges there last time I went. Yummy!! I always get a hunk of their corn bread with jalapenos and cheese baked in. Not exactly "diet food", but it's fantastic. We always leave spending about 4x what we planned.
Thanks for this!
You are more then welcome! I'm hoping we can all inspire each other to get healthy and fit.
Weighed in at Weight Watchers earlier this evening and lost 4.4 pounds for the last 2 weeks!!
{doing the happiest happy dance in a looong time!!}
I had dropped about 25 on Protein Power several years back, but gained that and more back once the carbs came back into my life.
I am presently on my third day of Ann Louise Gittleman's "Fat Flush" program (a fairly brutal low-carb/detox diet - no sugar, no fat except for flax oil, 64 oz of water spiked with unsweetened cranberry juice and a cup of hot lemon water every a.m.) I plan to do her "One Day Detox Diet (a one day juice fast) on Saturday. Once I am thru the "boot camp" phase, I plan to switch to a more WW-type situation where I watch how much I eat in the hopes that I will maintain.
