  1. Negative Calorie Food

    · SecondChance · 01/30/12 04:53 PM

    I just found out about Negative Carolie foods this weekend. If you don't know what these are, they are foods that contain less calories than it takes your body to digest them. I was amazed to find this out! I rushed to the store and got some of these.
     
    I know some of them, but was wondering if anyone knew of anyothers?
     
    Here are some I know of:
    Berries of any kind
    Kiwi
    Apples
    Pomaganets
    Kale
    Celery
    Carrots
     
    Any one know of some others?

  2. Day 3 - Going Strong

    · SecondChance · 01/28/12 08:38 PM

    I went to the Doctor last week for a consultaion about the GSV surgery. At age 27, my BMI is 62 with a height of only 5'7". Doc said if I do not do something drastic, I will not live to see 40. That not only scred the crap out of me, it has acted as a super motivator. Exercise = life!
     
    I am on day 3 of my new diet, hight protien, high fiber, low fat, low sugar, low carb and exercise daily. All is going well, even though I have been tempted, I have to think of my ulimate goal which is to get healthy and live as long as I am ment to. I want to be a motivating factor for my family and give my nieces someone to look up to!
     
    My dad told me a good quote the other day that has stuck with me. "A body in motion tends to stay in motion, while a body at rest tends to stay at rest" - Newton
     
    So I know if I get home and sit down to relax, thats it, I'm done for the day. So instead, as soon as I get home I hop on my eliptical and knock it out! This seems to really help me. I am always exhausted and sore afterwards, but a little time goes by and I get a big energy boost. Aside for the energy, exercise makes you happier in general! Ah the wonders of the chemistry that makes up our bodies - amazes me sometimes.
     
    I am still working on financing for my GSV procedure and hope to finsh this up Monday so I can get a date. I thought I might as well get a jump start while I am waiting so I am eating right and doing my best to exercise and stay motivate.
     
    I love the support the members on here have given me in the last few days and find it contagious, I want to help motivate others as well. I think this will help me stay motivated as well.
     
    Hope to here some of your stories soon. More to come....
