I feel that shame is a useless and hateful tool used usually by people who have no idea what they are doing to the person being shamed - shame brings self loathing , embarrassment, isolation & can lead to self harm & even suicide. Haven't we learned by now that the words we use form actions be they positive or negative.

Hi Nikki As you can see lots of people on here are willing to share tips tricks helpfull advice .All of the above is great , so maybe get a pen & pad & write some down , no need to try everything at once , set small goals like today , i'll walk that extra 10 minutes . The talking to your boyfriend advice is really good…

Excellent advice :)

This may sound counter intuitive but organic coconut oil is really good for your hair & scalp & instead of using your shampoo each time which is washing away all the oils from your scalp as well as the sweat try a mild solution of apple cidar vinegar it will wash away the sweat & then just lightly condition the ends ...

Actually you do trans dermal absorption of mag is very well researched

HI Everyone how is everyone tracking it's really hot & humid where I am north qld aust this week hitting around 37 - 40 with up to 90 % plus humidity so water has been a biggie for me i surprised myself yesterday 3.6 liters without trying . Anyone got any good hot weather recipes, tried and tested ??

hi judy

I think dancingdarl means - unpolluted * organic no sprays or pesticides , most fruit and veg in grocery stores unless stated organic has sprays etc .. Alot of people these days want their fruit and veg free of all those poisons.

Hi Blair , i just checked for this Tofu recipe in the database i couldn't find the exact same recipe & that maybe why the difference in the ratio's , the person who added here used slightly different recipe or different serving sizes maybe

Hi Blair , i'm new here also & yes i found that also weather the recipe had been updated since it was added here i don't know I've also found quite a few discrepancies on everyday foods but then when ive checked out the different calorie counters they also say different things so I'm thinking that it's more which one…
