Your too kind.

Thanks for this post Rx.

Your metabolism isn’t “screwed up.” Your heart still pumps as hard and as frequently as it always has, and your breathing the same as it has always been (the end result of metabolized carbon). But regardless, it is what it is! You just need to adjust to your current energy requirements to fit your current expenditure…[Read more]

How about a PayDay bar? Just a lot of nuts, salt, corn syrup. That won’t aggravate your gluten enteropathy.

Gluten-free, fat-free, sugar-free, calorie-free, lactose-free … who cares? They mean NOTHING! (unless you have a diagnosed gluten enteropathy or lactose deficiency for those two mentioned.)

That is a very good and blatant point, Susie. The number of deaths due to metabolic disease FAR, FAR, FAR outweigh the very few number of deaths due to anorexia. Great point. There is a happy medium between metabolic disease and anorexia, and that number puts your BMI around 18.5.

I’m hoping you threw that last bit of a burrito away!?

Fine — be afraid to eat too much for awhile. I’m good with that. Just a few bites for lunch, a few bites for dinner. That’s it. Keep the ball rolling until you cross the finish line, which is not that far down the road given how well you are doing. GREAT!

If you can stay away from the food, you will walk away a winner, despite how the dice roll. Good luck!! :laugh:

Thanks so much.

Anyway, Christian says that when he got down to about 120 to play the role, he felt a remarkable sense of calmness and ease. It is a great thing to get those inflammatory cytokines…[Read more]

I’m so happy to hear that, Shelly! :laugh:

Super!

I wish the best for your husband Sharonmarie!

Thanks, Everyone. Yep–had a really nice time with the family. In addition to new tennis apparel, I’ll be trying my hand at pilates! :cheer:

How about Snickers? Easy and done, especially for a busy schedule. :laugh:

LuvMyCoffee,

Just imagine how amazing you are going to look when you hit your goal! You don’t want to waste any time getting there. Life is going to be SO AMAZING! Knowing the future that lies before you, you should not fall off again. ( … at least not much, and not too often). :woohoo:

Of course! :laugh:

Great job, Mary!

Sounds good everyone!

Susie–that’s all I ask. Keep going as you are. You WILL get to your goal–it’s just a matter of time.

Thanks everyone!! :cheer:
