I really need some Breakfast ideas. I am low carb so i don't do Cereal. I can't eat eggs every day and I do Protein shakes 3-4 times a week since it is easy. Yogurt is a common breakfast, too. Ideas, people?

Pickles at the movies! Either bring n your own or buy one at the snack bar if your theatre carries them.

I am far too messy for white LOL

I agree, those are signs of too much in your stomach. Take smaller sips. It might take 30 minutes to get a shake down at this stage.

Kicks in quick for me too. Stay by a toilet :0

Yep, me too. I was just looking at an unflattering picture from this weekend someone posted on FB. Definitely feeling fat.

My ah-ha moment was then I dropped something into my lap and it fell through to the ground. There is space between my thighs now. A little thing but rather profound for me at the time.

Bad breath is common, it is ketosis. You are burning fat.

I'm sorry to hear about your day and i hope your twins are Ok. Days like this happen. Just get back in the saddle and you will be fine. It happens to all of us. Sending hugs.

My doctor allowed salads at 4 months. It wasn't until 6 months that I really enjoyed them. Popcorn is something i would wait on. The hard bits can catch in the seam of your sleeve. 4 months....but beware, popcorn is a slider food. You can eat a lot of it and it's easy calories.

Tell us more about your problems. There are many types of Protein, just make sure it is protein isolate. Hemp, pea, eggwhite, soy...

I use them in ricotta cheese, Greek yogurt, protein shakes , decaf coffee, and skinny cocktails.

Not too fast, and half of that was likely Water weight. Just get in your water, Protein, and vits and you'll be fine. Unlikely you will continue at a pound a day, so enjoy it while you can

My surgeon also cancels the day of surgery if you did not lose what you were supposed to, or in my case if I gained any (i had a lower BMI). I lost 5 lbs to be safe. Never heard of canceling because someone lost too much. Sounds odd. Maybe if your BMI got below 30.....

That's pretty cool. I see they have bacon syrup. So why no sugar free bacon syrup?

New subject. Just saw the new Captain America movie yesterday. I have decided that I want Scarlett Johanssen's azz. It is really quite spectacular and it would look really good on me, I'm sure.

I'm afraid our newbie friend there failed to notice that this is posted on Rants and Raves. I think he also failed to notice that the people posting on this thread collectively have around 10,000 posts between us.....

Really? You have no sense of humor, dear.

Today I was at a community party with lots of yummy food. I prepared my typical plate, you know, the plate with tablespoons of food dotted around it (90% plate and 10% food). As I started to eat, a very nice lady I knew sat down with me. Last time i saw her was November and she was considerably bigger then. Today she was heavy, but not really really heavy like before. She immediately commented on how thin i looked, and I responded in kind. She had lost 70 lbs since November, Hmmmm i'm thinking..... So here is the interesting thing....her plate looked just like mine! I did not want to ask her and be rude, but i was mighty curious!

I want a give-a-shitometer. Do they come in hot pink? I bet if we marketed those they would be a big hit. Sorry, mrs. r, didn't mean to go off topic, but that was really too good to resist.

Carlotta, I am with you. i visit family for a week or two several times a year and it always messes me up. I don't get in enough Water or Protein, I drink too much alcohol, and my carbs are too high. In March I only lost 2 lbs because of my week back home. I didn't get in enough exercise, either. We need a good strategy to deal with this.

Try unjury chicken broth flavor. It is a great alternative to the sweet shakes.

Very interesting. I wish they had more data, and I wish they had data on people starting with BMIs lower than 40. Regain is my #1 fear.

moonlite, How far out are you?

Interesting that ice cream is popping up here a lot. Unfortunately, not one of my problem foods. Now, if ice cream, sugar and chocolate disagreed with me, all would be well
