Well, I'm in a bit of a bind. I have a farewell lunch to go to today
and I am stumped as to what I can/should get. We are going to a
chinese restaurant and I have 400 calories available to me for lunch.
I am thinking a cup of soup of some sort, but can someone please throw

I started noticing that my previously obese coworker is not obese
anymore. I quietly asked him if he lost any weight, and he said to
have lost 30 lbs. I asked him how he did it, and his answer was, by
eating less and walking. He looks much healthier now, even though he

   Was wondering what everyones average was on calorie intake for each day.
I am trying to aim right now for 1200 calories a day. Some days are a little

Did anyone read the following article (it's long)?

It's in the 80's here so I took my kids and I for a walk and my 3 1/2-year
old asked to go to the bakery.  So we walked down there and I let him pick
out a treat.  Without thinking, I bought myself a cookie as well.  Rocky
Road flavored to be exact.  I paid for the cookies and as ...

Yesterday I attended a bridal shower for my niece, who's a marathon
runner.  I learned that she, her bridegroom, and 3 of her bridesmaids

I'm going to try to make my tomato paste- spinach - fish "stew" into a
curry.  Curry ingrediants?  I'm using 8 oz tomato paste, 4 oz water, 8
oz spinach, and 4 oz fish in my stew.

Hi everyone, I'm new here.  I just started Dr. Phil's UWLC yesterday.  I am
5'8" and I weigh 235.  I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl the beginning
of February and my goal is to be at or near my goal weight of 150 by her
first birthday.  I've always been heavy . . . ok . .  FAT ...

I got on the scale Tuesday morning and I weighed 235.  Today (Thursday) I
got on the scale and it said 228.  My scale is correct.  I certainly did a
double take.  I thought is said 238 for a second, not 228.
I'm on the Dr. Phil UWLC 14-Rapid start plan.  Did other people using Dr.

Well I have finished my 4th week in maintenance, and I am down another
200g ( 0.5lbs) I don't get it. I have upped the eating to find out a
level of eating for maintaining, this is now my longest run of losses
in the last year, most I had 2 to 3 weeks of losses then a gain,  but

Made it up to the Center for Health Excellence(the place where I found a scale that can weigh me) last night. A little nervous about going, the last time I got weighed was last May and I tipped the scale at 510lbs...
Stepped onto the scale and had to do a double-take. 456.6lbs! 53 ...

Day two went much better than day one.  For one thing, I ate enough
calories - 1500 as opposed to less than 1000 on Monday.  I am down to 138
for a total of five pounds weight loss.  I also walked an enormous distance
yesterday.  I had some letters to mail and the post office is ...
