you can try to add a wrist cover (if your creative and can sew or know someone who does) to wrap around the clasp so it doesn't touch your skin. Some fleece or flannel in a favorite design/ color to match might help.

I didn't log and ate what i wanted as i have been a bit sick too ( still yet to figure out what is going on) However i did see a major shift at the beginning of this week downward on my scale yesterday so i'm happy! (hadn't been able to break a 3lb yo- yo all month)

Been there myself too. I dont force my kids to do that one. If they cant finish in half and hour (or and hour if they have been talking like my youngest loves to do) thats it. No sweets. It goes in the fridge and if they say they are hungry before bed thats what they have to finish. Which RARELY happens anymore.

My kids can teach me some things!! But both my girls are underweight for their age (9 and 7) so i do make them eat their food which is not usually a huge amount left (one to two bites) but their little bodies need it. My eldest is taking medication which reduces her appetite so i have to continually watch what she is…

Yes and sadly I actually do have a type of chronic pain not as bad as some but the docs wouldn't do anything further than therapy 3 years ago for my torn mcl it is still rather unstable at times and hurts badly when I have a very busy day. Thank goodness for Mobil or else I couldn't get up to do it again the next day. As…

Fasting for other things not for the flu dear.

Honey from a nurse that deals with people coming in with the flu all the time, go on maintenance, drink water rest and relax. Got to the doctor and get tested for which type and get the correct medications and get better. NO water fasting will NOT help you.

I have been logging this go around for about 2 months i think and lost just about 9lb so a fair bit I'd assume. BUT i've kinda stalled out the last week yo yoing the same pound up and down. I actually don't know if i have been eating enough to tell the truth. I triage patients for 2 nurse practitioners in an fairly large…

Only thing i stay completely away from now is the soda because i know i cannot be reasonable. I litterally just ate my days allowance of calories in one meal (too busy at work to eat all day :( )

NO but it can have an effect on wither or not you have indigestion keeping you up at night which some people choose to not eat after a certain time to allow food to digest before they lie down. Don't criticize her for having a stop time just because she wants to.

Wonderful Job!

https://www.fitbit.com/user/25SZDP JUST got mine!! Need some friends!!!!!

Wow that is a big difference! Great work! <3

i just gave my daughter some of my treat of the day just to stay under my calories. At least for now my excuse is shes underweight and can afford it. :o

I have a Jawbone up24. I like it for the data but i dont like the design. it catches on things and bends it. if you get it too small, like i did it tends to make your wrist hurt. I suggest something that does have a clasp. If you go jawbone i'd suggest the up 3 or 4 if you have American express (4). If you go fitbit I…

Short on time for workouts especially during the week but i need to kick it up a few notches. However, i have a bad knee which swells when overused. Doc is on board with the increase and has given something for inflammation and pain. All i have available is a gazelle at home, and not that after 7pm when my husband goes to…

I would like some knowledgeable help.. any advice here would be taken and used well!

Sugar digestion begins in the mouth. Fat digestion doesn't even start till it hits the acid in the stomach and intestines. Sugar free gum wouldn't be digested really but the coating that holds it to its form would be. Yes the calories would still be counted. I would try to switch to a sugar free if your not eating one…

That is a great tip! You can use it for a lot more than just PB! as long as you got a scale you can do the math on it. You have done wonderful so far. Take it easy for a bit and get back into it. I'm sure you can still make it! ;)

Pretty much everything, at this point our fridge is a wasteland... only food i either dont like or small amounts of what i can eat is left, Other than the HUGE turkey for my father in law <3 . My payday is in two days so i should be able to do something then.

This was it exactly. Thank you for the advise. I have taken everything in (with a new grain of salt for some) to help me overcome the temporary depression of a mood the uncontrolled situation threw me into. Though i do think some might misunderstand, my mother isn't incapable of taking care of herself at all, just very (to…

Thank you. I think though many have misunderstood the purpose of this peticular post. And hince it got moved even though many can ask if they should eat this or that in other posts. I was simply looking for advice on what to do next time i was stuck on in the situation and i was turned into the bad person. No its ok.…

Honestly there is no reason to give anyone a hard time at all. I didn't ask to be told anything negative. I didn't even ask for suggestions though they are welcome. This is supposed to be a place you can come and NOT be judged for decisions or mistakes you've made. yet i come ranting because i was mad at my family not…

Man, I see that! I bet half of them didn't even read the post that both my girls are underweight for their age so i have to keep more calorie dense foods in the house or they wont get enough!!

Please tell me how exactly is reminding me that i at least got to eat helping me with the current situation? I am thankful GOD gave me the gift of a brain that went to school and got a NURSING degree and got a job. I am glad my mother is also in the healthcare field and my husband is in the sheriff's office. that had…

Unfortunately this meal was nowhere in the vicinity of healthy or rather what i have come to consider healthy. And as a three income family we defiantly make too much but i just stated to get paid so we have to get caught up first. I have started to make a good list of substitutes or things to do for future cases,…

I have a rice cooker/ steamer but as i'm in Louisiana and rice is everywhere its one of the things i'm trying to change. Brown rice takes some time to get used to, and i just didnt have the veggies tonight.

That does sound good. I'll put that on my list... o:)

Where i can understand that the problem was a weight loss problem. I needed help figuring out how to A. regain control B. another meal to fill me and not overdo my calories C. other suggestions for times where family ate something i shouldnt. So yes it belongs here. Otherwise some other posts wouldn't belong here either.
