  • ^^This. 100%. Being a parent is hard. I feel that being a Mother is harder. Having healthy options readily available helps me out quite a bit when I'm preparing my family's meal. When I'm making them them their meals with pasta, breads, and whatever else I'm trying to avoid... I always make sure to have some healthy snack…

  • Before when I was a single Mom of two kids, I had my exercise bike parked in front of the TV so when the kids went to bed, I did an hour every night. At the time I worked on my Dad's farm, so I was pretty active throughout the day... which helped. Now, I'm married with three kids, my husband took over my job on the farm…

  • I have four pair of Wrangler Q-Baby jeans that are size 7. This girl looked amazing in them. I now want my size 10/12 (still okay, but not great) butt to get BACK into them. ;)

  • Smokehouse Almonds by Blue Diamond! Or really any of their flavors are great, the smokehouse flavor just happens to be my favorite. Just keep in mind that if you are trying to cut out of sugar, some of their flavors have added sugar/salt.

  • That's great that you have been able to overcome some of them! Life always throws you challenges! One issue I've had is when I find something that is healthy AND delicious, I tend to eat too much of it because I tell myself it's healthy!

  • I quit drinking soda back in 2012 and haven't looked back since! I might have a little bit if I'm at a social event or someone's house and they only offer/have soda... but it burns! You get to the point where you don't enjoy it after you haven't had it for a while. My mom was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and she was…

  • I actually just started it today since I was curious about it. A friend at the gym swears by it... but then again they also swear by ACV, so yeah... There are numerous studies out there... some say it works... some say it doesn't.

  • I developed mine during my last pregnancy when my thyroid decided not to work correctly after pregnancy. I lost 60 pounds after my first son was born, but when I tried losing weight after my second was born, I had no energy, depressed, couldn't lose weight, STARVING all the time even after eating a large meal... And let me…

    in Have you ever ___________? Comment by sahalbur March 2017
  • I used to be one that would push for the 1200 calorie a day, however I found myself starving between meals or between-meal snacks, which made it easier to fail and gorge myself on unhealthy snacks, candy, etc. Plus getting to sleep was harder because I'd be hungry before going to bed, however I couldn't "afford" any more…
    in 1000-1200 calories, anyone? Comment by sahalbur March 2017
  • I'm 5'9 and wear size 12 jeans comfortably and a 10 tight. Currently I am at 192, and when I was at 160 I wore a size 6 comfortably... when I lost weight the first time... no lifting, just strictly diet. I do a lot of heavy lifting now, when I started at 207 lbs and down to my current weigh of 192, I can start wearing a…

  • It's better to eat what you want, when you want, as long as you can fit it in your calorie goal.

  • I love my protein powder! I use Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard. In the morning with my coffee instead of adding creamer to my coffee I will add a scoop of powder and ice to make iced coffee! So yummy! I generally feel full with mine, however if I am going to have it as a meal verses a snack, I will add a side of steamed…
    in Do protein shakes/powders help you feel more satisfied during the day? Comment by sahalbur February 2017
  • First off, GREAT for you and winning your fight with your addiction to meth. I have a sister who all of the family wishes she would do the same. Bless you! First thing I would suggest is to ease into a diet. 90% of the time if just cut out everything you aren't going to succeed. Take baby steps! Your first few weeks, cut…
    in Can't seem to get control of my eating. Comment by sahalbur February 2017
  • I usually drink a glass of water and drink a protein shake. That always seems to work for me. Depending on what you crave, there are recipes out there where you can make "healthy" brownies, cakes, cookies... you make them with protein, coconut flour, egg whites and stevia. They taste like the real thing, but less calories,…
