We used to always order thoose gourmet pastries, candies and cakes around the holidays. Still placed our order this year but all meats, nuts and cheeses. A treat still can be healthy and filling.

Years ago when I was only 17 and working and living on my own I needed to cut cost as much as possible. Ramein noodles get old quick so I started eating beef liver sandwiches because they only cost 28 cents a pound at the time. I recently went back and found that at only about 100-130 cals, 7-11 carbs, and high protein at 27-30 gr ( depends on how it is cooked) it has made my way back into my diet as a low carb very high protein meal.

I must have a stomach of steel. The only thing that has bothered me is when eating meat. If it is to fatty I find that later I will reguritate just the fat but not the meat. Sounds gross but at least I can keep the meat protein down. I am only 2 months out and have to really watch my portions already. If I do not measure each with a cup I could keep going to a extent. Short honey moon I guess.

Everyone is different but a general rule, the heavier the person and sticking to it the more they might lose. I did 3 weeks and lost 40lbs. just saying.

Weighed in this morning at 419, yes! Made goal with a day to spare. Weight before surgery 505 Surgery date 09/05/2012 Current weight 419 Goal weight 420 Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween.

Went on a mini stall for the past week and started to worry about goal. Woke up this morning and weighed in with 2 pound loss. I'll take it. Weight before surgery 505 Surgery date 09/05/2012 Current weight 422 Goal weight 420 Just 2 more pounds to go, come on turtle!

Have been on a mini stall all week with no loss. Then got on scale this morning and dropped 2 more pounds from 424 to 422. Go turtle go.

So pretty much have been cruising through this with losing about a pound to apound an half per day. Then wham for the last week not one ounce loss. I kept reading about stalls but figured it could not happen to me or at least for awhile. Still debating as to wether to change up some part of my eating habit ( 800-900 cals, 40 carbs, 30 fat, 100 protein daily average amounts). Or should I just keep doing as this and wait it out?

Careful of the ones with sugar alcohols. For some people they create excess gas or stomach cramps. I ended up with two days of gas. Learned the hard way.

Oh boy, used to love orange crush will have to give them a try.

I agree, powerade zero is perfect for us. I really like the fruit punch one.

Just measuring cups. A 1/4 cup for nuts or egg whites in the mourning, 1/2 for meats, and 1 cup for sauces like chili or soup. Quick and simple.

Great job done!
