I had the same thing....but it was the best thing n I did. I finally got on the scale in june. I found out AFTER I knew I had lost weight that I weighed 222 pounds. I had no idea I had gained so much weight. It was the kick in the *kitten* I needed. No more excuses. I've lost 20 pounds since that appointment and still…

I crochet when ever I sit and watch tv. For a while I would get an arm or neck cramp...but no its not a calorie blaster. It does wonders for my stress and has provided the Christmas gits for this year though :)

There is a blood test you can take. My mom took it when she thought she was having intestinal issues

Have you tried meetup.com? It's been about 4 years since I have been on it, but it's was a great social group meetup site. It's not great for the town I live in now, but before I moved there were a lot of people I met through there. They had workout meet ups, hiking, biking, mom groups etc

My German Shep was a GREAT running partner. I didnt even have to have her on leash as she would never leave my side. She was so easy to train....on the other hand, Dug,my numb nuts whatever he is sheep dog is a horrible running partner. Darn dog is too smart and has one heck of a nose; plus he gets diarrhea if he gets too…

same here i love making my own broth....some days I just dont have the time :(. Nothing compares to homemade. My freezer is full of random bones, meat bits and black bananas and egg shells. yeah its weird lol

I found Trader Joes broth and it only has 90 mg per serving!

and even when I was a size 2 and ripped...my thighs still touched and i was never able to get rid of that lil bit of chub. I was able to get a small triangle, but thats it. buying pants has always been an event for me

and yes i know PB has a high fat content....im just thinking of oil/butter/lard :(~...i also have a sensitive tummy though
-
it depends on what your goal is. If it is strictly fat loss than you are going to fuel your body very differently than trying to gain muscle/bulk. Its a very different science than just loosing weight. Im out of shape now but I used to weight train a lot. I always did a 60/40 before workouts, but I was going for muscle…

what kind of fats is he specifically referring to?

a lot of the carbs in quinoa are fiber. It is a nutrient dense food with lots of vitamins and protein. I find it more filling than rice and it fluffs up more (in my opinion) than rice so i only need a small handful. Most of the time I just leave out my usual side of protein at a meal and just have it with veggies or add it…

I love beef jerky...but....I have a family history of heart disease (usually self inflicted; smoking, overweight etc). Im very sensitive to sodium and retain water like a champ...even with drinking tons of water. I was diagnosed with hypertension and put on blood pressure meds. Hopefully once I loose the weight ill be…

Therapy would be good. From my experience it was about filling an emotional hole. I had really bad stuff happen in my life this last 2 years. I got depressed and I ate. You get endorphins from eating. I felt "good" when I had my bread and butter. I had self worth problems and I wasn't ready to deal with them so I ate. Now…

Self sabotage! I am the gueen of that realm. I have even done that to myself recently. I was sticking to 1200, loosing 2 lbs a week, I was super happy with my progress.....then I started to slip. Freak yesterday I ate 1600 and didn't exercise. When I'm tired it's worse, and right now im stretched to the limit. Haven't lost…

General tired. Yes. It might not be my best work out...but I'm burning more than sitting on the couch. If I'm actually tired, like I can not roll out of bed tired...then I'll skip. My schedule is literally crazy and I don't want to push my body too far past it's breaking point...I always end up sick when I do that and that…

DO YOUR HOMEWORK! You are probably only going to do this once, so get it done right. Don't bargain hunt. I have seen bad plastic surgery and it looks worse than the original problem they had fixed. I had a tummy tuck and a boob lift after my kids. It was the best thing I ever did for myself. I used (a few years ago)…

I thought that was funny too. They are perfectly natural yoga poses lol
-
in a class the last thing I want to do is look up and see someone's sweaty nether regions * . By myself; I have big boobs and don't like them wandering free...they get in the way....plus the mats get slippery if you don't have clothes to soak up the sweat

I have to eat low sodium. I have high blood pressure from gaining weight. Honestly I personally think its all about changing your pallet. My husband always adds salt to his food...when he cooks I can taste the sodium. I only buy low sodium soups or broth. I never add salt. Stay away from processed food and cook from…

if you were asking for me and my teenager...she does cook her own vegetarian meals if I am not making a dinner with the meat cooked separate. Even at that I insist she is getting enough protein for dinner, because she is getting back from practice or her own training runs. I just guide her in a healthy direction, help her…
-
same thing happened to me. I'm sensitive to salt. I though I was way under my sodium intake so I splurged an had some beef jerky. you could have stuck a pin in me and I would have sprayed water by the end of the night yeaterday. Turns out my hubby made soup (which i had for breakfast and lunch) with very high sodium broth…
-
I feel you. I'm a stress eater, hence me gaining 80 pounds. Sometimes it is impossible to remove the stress. When I cant break away to workout to remove the stress I try to be more careful about my choices. For some reason soup is my go to. I make it from scratch (very low sodium broth), add tons of veggies and hot sauce.…

im a little weird, but i like mine with a little butter or garlic oil, cinnamon, cayenne and chilipowder

I agree PETA is off in their own world. There is a great anti PETA hypocrisy website. I completely forgot the name. I do not support PETA. They might have been a great voice at one time, but now they seem to always go to the absolute extreme without allowing for reasonable conclusions. She isnt doing this for PETA reasons…

lol. She was vegetarian for a few years and then gave into bacon. She just started back up after eating meat again for about 2 years. Now that she is on the go more and in cross country/track Im really trying to make sure she has the right nutrients. It was a lot easier when she was in 6th grade and I still cooked most of…

Im allergic to oatmeal; so i do rolled wheat. I just soak it in almond milk, add some fruit and let it sit overnight and add some honey and cinnamon in the morning. You can microwave it or not the consistency is the same as cooked oatmeal. fruit with nuts left overs (because im lazy) pb and honey chia seed pudding smoothie…

I do have her take a b-12 supplement since I dont track her every bite and a b vitamin deficiency can have harmful side effects. I also have her take a calcium plus D . She has a lactose sensitivity and Calcium is so important for women (yes i know calcium is in many other forms....but trying to track everything a teen is…

yep my daughter is vegetarian again and I constantly have to check what she is eating. For her its making sure she is getting complete amino acids from either whole sources or combinations. You have to do your homework and make sure you are getting proper nutrition in place of the meat.
