O.T.R. sleever

Firstly let me say, you look great. I didn't read the entire thread, so forgive me if this has already been suggested, but, are you eating enough? If you are still you are still trying to lose weight by restricting caloric intake & exercise, then you are going to call me crazy. At this point in the game , your body has adapted to surviving on low calories. You need to calculate your base metabolic rate & add your caloric burn to it. Then bring your caloric intake up to at least that number for about a month. This will convince your body that it is being well nourished & it will quit holding tightly to fat stores. Then you can go back yo the pouch test or any other calorie restrictive diet you choose. You'll notice that then & only then will your body release the fat stores. If you don't reach your goal in 2-3 weeks bring your calories back up and repeat the cycle.

I'm going to respond to this I a few hours.

Umm no, last I was told there are no more mods here only a couple Admins. Of course that could have changed in the last couple months & I wouldn't be aware of it.

Sorry sweetness. Just the talk of bacon, potatoes, gravy, butter, etc turns me off. But I do appreciate the flowers

Thank you err body.

Is this directed at me? If so you read something into my post that wasn't there.

Whoo hooo!!! Sexy sexy.

Great job! Another Onederland resident

Welcome to Onederland. You do know that pics are a requirement though. Right?

This place never changes...

I ate like a pig for at least a month before my surgery. Lots of people will tell you that Food Funerals are a bad thing. Personally now at 15 months post op I can't see where it harmed me at all. I think I'm doing well.

My goal is to be healthy and still maintain some muscle mass I still have a way to go, but I don't think I'm doing too badly considering I'm still recovering from knee surgery, thus my exercise is limited. Hope this helps someone. For those who don't know, I started at almost 300lbs. And in almost no notable muscle.

I've got a major regret. I didn't do it years ago.

Don't worry, you won't have to read my posts much longer.

I told you so!!!!

I'm not in the UK, but there is an old saying, "money talks". If you have the cash to prepay the surgery everything is negotiable. .

You might consider only using 1scoop of your isopure powder. Your body cannot absorb more than 30 grams of protein in a sitting.

If you are a fan of Quinoa (I am) I highly recommend checking out Feed Adam. It's a a project that focuses on teaching women in empoverished areas to farm small portions of land. The organization purchaces the premium product these ladies produce at a premium price allowing them to provide for their families and retain their dignity. How does this relate to this thread? The product they are working with is Quinoa. Not only can you feel good for helping an organization like this, it's also the cheapest place I've found to get Quinoa. http://feedadam.com/mobile/products.php?menuid=13
