Topic: RE: Vitamins
I think as long as you're getting all the right ammts of each vitamin in it doesn't make any difference...I went from chewables to pills and saw no difference in the labs between the two... But, if it really worries you, I'm sure your NUT will tell you if you need to switch...how has your bloodwork been? xxxBecca

Topic: Vitamins
Just wanted to know if there is a difference in taking chewable vitamins rather than regular. After surgery i started with chewable vitamins but i am able to take down regular vit except for Calcium, too big. I am not sure if i should stick with chewables? Hope I made sense.

Topic: RE: A Hello, Hair Loss, & Clothing....
Hi everyone, well i think my hair loss is slowing down but i still am losing but not as much and you can notice. i do think some is growing back. i was geting scared because my hair is so thin now. i really do hope this stops soon. as for protein and calories. dont count. i just make sure i purchase foods with high protein, low surgar and salt. i also try to eat foods with low cal. have no idea of exact numbers. my struggles are eating on time. just eat a little here and there. so far not much probs with foods except for rice..i am exploring different foods. i really need to get back to exercise. i have been a funk and havent exercised in a month. i need to get my butt back in gear. well just wanted to share. have agreat week all.

Ya know, realistically , everyone, even thin people snack. I just think we need to learn WHAT is appropriate, how MUCH and WHEN. To say, "nope, never going to snack" for me.... sets you up for failure. Even Oprah snacks!!!

Topic: RE: WOW Moments...
My wow moment is also probably TMI , but oh well. Its making love without having to shift the fat so my hubby doesn't inadvertyantly grab a handful. Its so nice to "know" that he is slowly touching down the hip or thigh and feeling hip bone and muscle instead of a bakerys worth of rolls. Sorry, but it means so much to me really.

Topic: RE: I think I hit a plateau.
There are three things I do to knock myself out of a stall. 1. Water 2. Protein 3. Exercise If I stall I switch to ALL water. As much as I can stand. No diet coke, no tea...........jus****er. I try to eat virtually nothing BUT protein for a couple days. Maybe a few veggies. Meat protein, not dairy. So lots of chicken and fish. And for excercise we're supposed to be doing it anyway but try changing it. Like I try to walk as much as I can but a few weeks ago I started trying to climb the stairs as much as possible. I'll just go up and down the stairs in my house as much as I can, sometimes with weights. Just throw in something a little different. Weights or find a big hill to climb just something a little bit different seems to knock me out of the stall. Of course, I think there are two other things. I've found constipation causes me to stall and of course that time of the month. But those top three have helped me with all my stalls. My loss has slowed down like everyone elses but when that scale doesn't budge at all for a week I go to those three and it helps.

Topic: RE: Favorite snack ideas?
they're strange and sometimes slimy little things...but when using them to make favorites, spaghetti, stroganoff stir-fry...you really can't even tell...they're just filler!!! I LOVE THEM!!! and there's less than 10 calories in a full 16oz. bag! there's a tofu version that I havn't tried (or found) that has a much higher protein content too! They're worth a try! xxxBecca
