Thanks Mel, would you happen to know a spell for inducing sleep in little ones?! (It's 3am here).
Rub brandy on their gums? (I know I'm late). My sister used to do this. I suppose it's not very politically correct?1 -

I never did this, but it might be worth
a try. You're probably not going to need more than a teaspoon

So with increased exercising came lots of increased sweating. And I have one of the ugly dreaded belly flap issues. I did buy two compression shirts, but they still are not really doing the job. So I forced myself to look on the internet and found something called Tummy Liners and bought some. They are washable and I shove under said Belly Flap daily. I am not much of a sewer, but went to a material store and bought some flannel and made some more much thicker. Gold Bond does not work there. And trust me you do not want to hear the story of Talcum Powder there almost ended up in ER.7

Good for you, @maureenkhilde, for not stopping until you found a solution. I am sorry that has caused you so many problems, but proud of you for not letting it stop you.1

I finally went to the Dr with Ellie today as she started wheezing and that puts me in edge. Dr not overly worried as her chest sounds clear (last two times she was wheezing it wasn't and we ended up in hospital for obs). She's kinda better, for little stretches, but still not really eating and whiny even by our standards. But at least I'm reassured it's just a standard bug. And Andrew appears not to have caught it - WIN.4

If it’s mixed up with yogurt and things like blackberries or raspberries then you can’t tell if it’s a chia seed or a fruit seed.
I mix my soaked chia seeds into applesauce mostly. I sometimes just add them to my water too and drink them.1 -

I've still never tried it in case it's too delicious. I also believe I don't like coca cola, but who knows in reality!?
That... that's crazy. I can't get my head around this statement.
If I remember correctly, she also doesn't like pizza! What do you think about that?
Sorry about your Halo Top!
I know I actually don't like pizza because tomato sauce is gross! I dislike cola as a child and have never tried it since. I have enough of a sweet tooth I don't want to add to the list of things I crave, so I've just always avoided it!

We have a local pizza place here called Picaso's and they serve a Great White. It's 5 different cheeses (with ricotta zig zagged over top) and they use garlic and olive oil for the "sauce". It's the only thing Mike and Rachael order there.
Maybe you'd like pizza more like that. Me personally, I'm a big fan of chicken, bacon, ranch pizza. It uses ranch as the "sauce".
OMG it has been too long since I have had this....I feel one coming on shortly now!2 -

I guess im the polar opposite of y'all... I could eat tomato sauce pizza 24/7! I do prefer New York style pizza to Chicago.
If I was to be stranded on a desert island and could have only one food - PIZZA would be it!!
Same
Pizza is my fave, hands down
Pasta a close second1 -

I've been eating around 1500-1700 (some weeks I allow myself a cheat indulgence & then work it into my overall week calories). Usually it's a pint of ice cream, pizza, or another kind of dessert. Eventually I'm going to stop doing the cheat indulgences & just eat normally since I don't want to start another binge/restrict cycle, but so far this plan is working out for me.
I think my first goal weight will be 170 & then my UGW will be 160. If I feel like I still want to lose a little more weight I'll go down to 155. The only thing I'm not ready for is the onslaught of comments about my weight like I received last time considering I work with the public. I think this time I'm going to take the approach of just saying thank you & not saying anything else. If they ask how I did it I'll just say MFP & learning tips from the site.
I really do think perhaps I was too thin the first time I lost weight since I went from 300-150 & could have had at least 10-15 pounds of loose skin.
I am right there with you in terms of how close I am to getting under 200, for the hundredth time!!! We can do this!!
Definitely! This year I’m not letting the holidays and winter time derail my progress. I swear in the winter I’m like a bear and want to eat all the foods and hibernate.
Ditto! The temperature has noticeably dropped in the last 3-4 days and now I don't want the salads, I want the warmer foods. I need to get my soup maker out.
Speaking of soup. I don't get satisfied eating soup. I HAVE to have a sandwich or something else with it. Regardless how "hearty" it is. I get full more or less, I just don't stay full for very long.
Anyone else like that too?
Yup. Not a fan of soup either. I like to be full, and soup just doesn't do it for me.
I love soup and eat it nearly daily, year round. However it is part of a meal, not a whole meal.
Same with salads. Salad is what I eat WITH my dinner, not instead of.
OK bookmark on page 3262.....cuz that is all the time I have at the moment......0 -

Two days before Thanksgiving in 2011, I got my celiac diagnosis. No dessert, no super yummy Grandma's rolls.
Monday, I had a liver ultrasound and the most likely culprit for my elevated enzymes is Primary Biliary Cholangitis. I have to have more testing the middle of November, but what I can do to prevent or slow liver damage is eat less than 150g of carbs/day.
It's HALLOWEEN and I can't eat candy or practically anything else that people brought for the office party.
WHY does she do this to me???!!!!
ETA: I also have a 2.1cm gallstone that apparently should be causing crippling pain, but miraculously isn't. I guess I will have to have the GB removed, but I am not going to plan that until my dad is out of the hospital. We're in week 3 of this round - now in rehab.
That is horrible timing.
That’s a large stone,I hope it stays put0 -

We never get Trick-or-Treaters. We live too far out in the boonies.

Yeah, he's training with my trainer and has a 5-day-a-week training program.3 -

Poor Ellie.
Hopefully Andrew does not get it

I hope it stays put too. However, my dad has decided to convert to being a long term resident at the rehab facility. Basically, it's the VA version of assisted living. He won't get the intense therapy, but will have aides making sure he takes his medicine and they'll cook and do his laundry. We can go get him and take him out any time he wants to go. I feel like this is a good solution for him and like I could schedule to have the gallbladder out before it moves while Tamara is home for Christmas if my doctor thinks that's the best plan.1 -

I am going to see my dad this evening, then going to do some Christmas shopping tomorrow after yoga and visiting a local brewery for their food truck round up. I'm the designated driver, but my favorite truck makes a killer Cuban that I always eat without bread. And she always serves me first so there hasn't been any bread on her grill.
gotta love a business like that.
Christmas shopping
I dont wanna think about Christmas yet!

I'm DIY-ing on Saturday, I want to get certain things in the flat finished for Christmas, followed by watching the fireworks for Bonfire Night in the evening. On Sunday probably housecleaning and food shopping, then we are going to see Bohemian Rhapsody at the Cinema. Really looking forward to seeing it
How was this? I think I am gonna go see it Tuesday!0 -

Nope, in fact Ellie got her first ever stomach bug last night! 2 emergency baths, several loads of laundry and a day spent cuddling on the sofa and she's still pretty miserable this evening. Poor mite! Thanks for thinking of us though.
Oh poor baby, that sucks!0 -

Oh, I am sorry. I hope she feels better soon.
What happened to your other account? You abandoned ship and started again?
MFP logged me out and my password that I changed when they had the data breach in March would not let me log back in. I asked for a password reset 5 different times and got the same email that it was my fault because I hadn't changed it in March. I replied to 3 of those emails and still never got a link to reset the old account. I am not impressed but I set up a new account because I love you guys and I need to track my carbs for my health's sake at the moment.
Mourning my 775 day streak...
Ummmm, I've had the same problem trying to log on on my phone. Currently on my tablet but when that logs me out, who knows?! At least I have no streak to speak of.
Then you will have to make a new account like Mel.....don't you dare disappear on us!0 -
