Guest guest Posted August 5, 2001 Report Share Posted August 5, 2001 That is awesome! It looks like is the winner of the 5 lb challenge, or was she even in the 5 lb challenge? LOL Well she is a winner no matter because she is a great one week loser! Congratulations on that wonderful loss. Cheryl Ü Hi everyone, I just had to say-after being stalled fora couple of weeks, I have a 5 pound weight loss forthis week. I doubled up on water, and, for those whohave been asking about birth control pills-I went offthem about a week and a half ago. I don't know ifthat had anything to do with the loss, just kind ofinteresting. in TXGet more from the Web.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Congratulations on the 5 lb weight loss. It's likely the Armour that's doing that, don't you think? Sandy, why don't you try doing what I do to keep my weight normalized if you're planning on more dieting? I never go over 20 lbs either way. I just drink my smoothie in the morning & at night with dinner. I eat a small lunch, generally a salad but sometimes some chicken or cooked veggies or a veggie/chicken soup I make myself with maybe some barley in it or broken amaranth noodles or other such high protein grain or lentils. At times I make twice as much smoothie in the morning, drink a huge tall glass in the morning, take my supplements, then aren't hungry until lunch. So then I drink another smaller glass of it at lunchtime with a salad or something light. Then another small glass at dinner & hardly ever feel hungry 'tween meals except to snack on sunflower seeds or other nuts or some fruit maybe. You could just drink the smoothie 3x a day & not eat anything else & still get all the nutrition you need. Except you may have to still take the B vitamins & such you're already taking. I'm not getting any exercise at all now & haven't since March when I hurt my back & hip. And haven't gained a bit of weight doing the above. Though I was gaining weight steadily before I started doing this smoothie thing. I'll stay on it for life if I can. I get nearly all the vitamins-minerals-proteins I need in the super food green powders I put into the smoothies plus another liquid vita-min-amino acid formula I take 2-3x a day. It hasn't been enough to keep the aches, pains & tiredness or depression at bay lately tho. I think a lot of that might have been because I was making the smoothie with soy milk & then adding a soy protein powder supplement to it. I'm not doing that anymore now tho, just adding water & maybe l/2 a banana or a bit of other fruit for flavoring as of about a month ago. I'm going to start making it with coconut milk or almond milk mixed with water tho. That should taste delicious. A lot of the symptoms for me tho, especially depression & tiredness, even the aches & pains, is being so lonely & not doing much because of my injuries & lacking the proper thyroid supplementation from what I'm learning here. But the weight problem is long gone & I'm not gaining at all but have even been losing a couple of pounds a month even being so sedentary. I'm out of shape & have a bit of a belly for my size, yes. But no other overall weight gain. My legs & arms are thin in fact. weight loss I have no idea how I managed to lose 5 lbs, but I have. That was so exciting! Weight control is my next plan of action as I'd like to be able to drop these excess lbs! I've never been much on diets and such, but losing weight always excites me! lol. I don't own any scales at home, so you can imagine how surprised I was when I hit the office scales and saw this! Makes me wonder because it's been at least a year since I've lost weight, and then it was 24 lbs, a year ago this month. Before that, it was 14 yrs ago and I dropped a lot of weight under very stressful conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 I have no special smoothie recipes, just my own concoction. Mine taste rather bland & chalky too if I don't add a banana, other fruit or sweetener. I just drink them down anyway if I'm out of fruit or sweetener. This past week I've used only water in mine & had no fruit except some canned fruit in pear juice concentrate. So I dumped a bit of that into it. Here's the recipe I plan to use this coming week if you're interested: I make enough for 3, 6oz glasses of it a day. 2/3 water to 1/2 coconut milk (or almond milk) more or less. I scoop (prox. 2 TBSP) lecithin granules 1 scoop ground organic flax seed 1 scoop oat bran 1 capful Udo's Oil Blend 1 scoop wheat germ 1/2 banana or, if none, other fruit (apples, pears, peaches, etc.) 1 TBSP spirulina powder 1 TBSP wheat grass powder Add Stevia or other natural sweetener to taste. Blend thoroughly in blender. Drink tall 8 oz glass for breakfast. Divide the rest between lunch & /or dinner. Or drink between meals.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Lecithin & peaches too??? Good grief!! What the hell is left for me to eat & treat the cholesterol & triglycerides then??? Stop the % & #$ & % & #$ & % planet, I want to get off!!!!! This is just getting to be way too complicated, confusing & restrictive for me.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Geez, I'm surprised you're not saying bananas & peanut butter aren't bad for thyroid function too. No loss about the peanut butter for me tho...not that crazy about it. At least if I could have those I'd be having a bit of protein & potassium, if nothing else. Wouldn't do much for the cholesterol or triglyceride levels tho, I'm sure.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 My cholesterol has been perfectly normal for a couple of years now. Ditto the triglycerides on the lecithin, flax seed, oat bran, etc. daily drink. So all I need to ingest is the Armour thyroid & forget eating other foods that throw it off, right? How am I going to subsist on just thyroid supplement alone?I'm so food restricted already. I gotta eat something after all. Or do I? Too bad I wasn't born a rabbit so I'd love to eat only salads & raw veggies, which I hate as a steady diet. I could starve I guess & then there'd be no thyroid or body to worry about anymore. Seems way easier that way more & more here.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 many years ago lecithin was made from eggs. Now it is soy, no soy. Peaches, strawberries and some other fruit are goitenous.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 I'm allergic to most fruit especially strawberries & just about all other berries. Fruit is also bad for the hypoglycemia. So might as well nix all the fruit too. What else has got to go? What else is left? Re: weight loss many years ago lecithin was made from eggs. Now it is soy, no soy.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 I hardly ever eat peanuts anymore. Don't like peanut butter either as I said. so that's no loss. I'm having a hard time concentrating on just these egroup emails without going elsewhere online or off to read yet more stuff about what I can or cannot ingest or do. It just makes me more depressed anyway. So it ain't gonna happen. what's left in life to enjoy anyway? Not much I'd say. Re: weight loss peanuts are bad.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 OMG....now apples are bad too? Of course ALL foods are if they're processed, chemically fertilized or pesticide-sprayed anyway. That's enough right there to throw all the glands & organs out of whack. Might as well quit eating altogther now that they're genetically tampering with produce as well, even the organic kind. It's getting to sound more like a lotta very sick/dying or starving/dying people on the planet all the time. Why not just die & get it over with sooner rather than suffer more & wait for later? Only masochists do that. Re: weight loss I read somehwere recently that alot more food affect thyroid function ,one of them was flax, and the only other two i remember were apples and peanut butter.I wish i remembered the rest.Ill try and find where i read it at.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 I've got the best, most expensive whole house water filtering/processing system on the market installed here. So at least I can drink water & not get dehyrated. Not much consolation if that's all I can have tho.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 you need to look up all goitenous foods. Remove them from your diet. I am a picky eater and find plenty to eat.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 I still have peanut butter occasionally, too. I just don't eat a lot of it, and I'm not giving it up either. Friday night I was hungry and had a bag of salted peanuts that I was just dying for. I don't remember feeling bad, afterwards. I have another small bag of them here, but not craving them (or the salt from them) so I'm saving them for a rainy day. :-) SandyE~Houston Re: weight loss > >Date: Sun, 17 Oct 2004 08:36:07 -0700 > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
