Wow! sorry if I pissed you off more than you mother in law does. Merry Christmas.

Or maybe her memory problem is the result of an undiagnosed medical condition.

Nope, we are spending the day with some friends and neither of us are cooking much. My friend decided to allow Costco to do most of it (spiral ham and mashed potatoes and/or sweet potatoes) which is fine with me.; I think that she is cooking some vegetables. After cooking for 53 years I am done with traditions. I am making…

I agree! end of thread :)

People need to ask questions very clearly to avoid this kind of rambling and arguments between members. I would help if the title also relates to the question. Short cuts don't help and don't work either. We are not mind readers.

I don't like any of the Quest bars' flavors and the amount of fiber really did a "number" on me. No thank you. I buy Pure Protein bars from Costco but I only have half with my afternoon coffee because I do think that they are too sweet for my taste. I don't use bars as a replacement meal either.

[quote="cwolfman13;38389570"]I'm not really one for stuffing myself with food until I feel ill...I don't really get that. I'm making a cranberry glazed ham, brown butter roasted green beans with bacon, mushrooms, and roasted potatoes...I'll have a plate of food and desert and call it a day. [/quote] I agree with this!…

Your interpretation of a Keto diet is wrong. Please do some research and reading.

Seedless grapes (any color) and cherries. If they are on the kitchen counter they will disappear very fast so I always keep them in the fridge because I don't like them cold. I just take out what I will eat for desert or as a snack.

@elphie I agree with everything that you posted; however, I really hope that you don't ever end in the ER or in need of surgery because you and your SO will have to change that frame of mind very quickly. The are mostly females RN in the hospital/ER but also a lot of males nurses in charge of patients and floors and not…

I don't log restaurant food in my diary unless the restaurant has the nutritional information available in their menu or on line. I do use the comment section in my food diary and I record there where and what I ate, just for my own information. I don't log much while on vacation and nothing at all if I go to somebody else…

Nope! I never took before pictures and I don't regret it. Probably because I only needed a little over 10lbs to lose but I always let the scale and my clothes guide my progress, and I still do. I don't take measurements too often either because I suck at it.

I don't like oats and they don't fill me up either. Too many wasted calories and carbs for me, specially when I "crash" mid morning. I also prefer egg or eggwhites and whole wheat toast or english muffin or a waffle with butter.

@deluxmary2000 Me too! I don't like deep tissue massages, they hurt too much. I want a massage that relaxes me with only medium pressure on my back and shoulder. And I prefer a woman.

That is not a "lecture," it is good advice and something that MFP doesn't preach or doesn't require you to "log." It is the doctor's responsibility to let you about the things that may influence your high BP since that is the reason that you went to the ER in the first place. I don't care to comment about the rest of your…

It all depends on the insurance company that the person carries. In the absence of Hashimoto or other serious thyroid issues, and if a patient is responding to the proper medication as dx by the GP, most insurances will not OK a visit to an endrocrinologist (aka specialist), specially if the insurance company is an HMO; a…

The vegetables that you mention are not necessary bad if they are cooked. Eating them raw and in large amount is the problem.

I love this, I should do the same.

See, you did it! You play guitar and you can sing, how nice and talented you are. So go ahead do it again every time that you feel a binge attack coming up. <3

Why are you bored, don't you have things to do in the house? Read a book while chewing gum or drinking a cup of coffee or tea or what a funny movie. Put music in the radio or a DVD and dance. Got to YouTube or on line and do a workout. Write Christmas cards or e-mails or call a friend to wish him or her Happy Holidays.…

This must be a new thing because when I got pregnant (many years ago...), I was 102lbs and when I walked in the hospital I was almost 121lbs and 109lb when I left the hospital. My first baby was eight and half lbs. By the end of my first trimester and due to awful morning sickness, I was under 100lbs so the doctor guided…

I only wear my gold wedding band all day long. After 50 years in my finger I am not removing it unless I go to the hospital or end up in the funeral home. I wear lifting gloves so the ring is not a problem.

Yeah, , just like paperpudding said.

Peaches with Ready whip, Fage or cottage cheese. Simple and tasty.

I use my body and the results as "my calculator." So far, so good.

To equate the need to carry a "condum" with the need to carry a firearm is preposterous. And by the way, since I married young I never had the need to carry that kind of protection.

I have mild diverticulosis too but I can't eat more than 25gr. of fiber a day for few days in a row. If I do, I never leave the house or the bathroom. Interesting how we are all affected differently by the same food group.

What? Am I missing something, please clarify because I fail to understand what firearms and condoms have to do with my answer.

Sorry but you don't need to "arm" yourself to survive (I am talking about weapons) or embrace the latest technology either. I agree that education is key but weapons are not, unless you are in uniform. But to each his/her own. I never, ever purchased or carried a firearm and I am surviving just fine.

Not in my house and/or if I am cooking! Yams and sweet potatoes are sweet enough, so why add sugar? I don't like marshmallows, so they are out too. Edited to add: I am very sorry that all of you have problems with friends and family during the holidays or any other festivities. I am lucky that nobody argues with me about…
