Hamburgers

I'm kind of confused about eating hamburgers.

My L&G meals have basically been vegetarian, with maybe some chicken if I go out to a restaurant. So, I went out and bought some pre-made hamburgers to get some actual meat into my body. I put it on my little George Foreman grill, and then looked at the box and saw 26g of fat!!!!

Does some of this fat come out when I cook it, or am ...

Crackers of the Gods

I came home today to find my latest shipment of Medi-food. I have been snack-free for the three weeks I have been on the program, but this time I ordered crackers.

I broke into those bad boys and...wow! :whattha: Maybe it's been too long since I've had salty crunchy goodness, but I could swear that little cherubs floated down and sang happy little songs around my head ...

TEsting blood supplies

Hi all,

My mom died on Easter. She was sick, but dying this soon was not at all planned. Therefore, she had months and months worth of supplies. She had tons of those littel alcohol pads and things you squirt your blood into and pop in the machine to check it out. She also had the needles you pop in to prick your finger. I would hate to waste anything. Obviously, the alcohol pads would ...

Completely Off Topic..Kinda... Sorta

I've decided to reward myself when I get to 50# loss with a Wavefront Lasik procedure for my eyes. <img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_34.gif' border=0>Doctor assures me that weight loss will not affect my eyesight in anyway after the procedure is done.

He's also recommending I get the monovision procedure where one eye is adjusted to see far, and the other sees near. <img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_11_3.gif' border=0> It will supposedly completely eliminate the need for glasses, with the possible ...

The benefits of bad teeth

My company is pretty cool. Today it hit 100 degrees here in Phoenix for the first time this year. It is a tradition that the VPs of each department distribute Dilly Bars (ice cream) to their staff to celebrate the occasion. They go around ringing little Good Humor bells and everything.

I got my chocolate Dilly Bar and flipped it over to read the nutritional info. There's a lotta carbs in those things! But still ...

Exercise Advice

Hi all!

Tomorrow marks 3 weeks for me on the program and I want to start incorporating some more exercise. I could use some guidance.

First of all, a little background:

I currently go to a 2 hour Tai Chi class every Tuesday. I did not stop this when I started the program because I absolutely adore the class. Tai Chi is slow and low impact, but move and balance for 2 hours and you ...
