I like Hebrew National 97% Fat Free hot dogs (grilled over charcoal is the best), I make myself snack bags with one serving of baby carrots and one serving of almonds (199 cal snack), On the Border black beans, as served are 130 cals per serving, I get two or three for supper, they are delicious. I don't know what your…

Absolutely!! Just don't eat a whole one at once. Like everyone else says, just add it to a salad or sandwich and enjoy!!

That's true if your children are teenagers. But smaller children do need fat (healthy fat) and cholesterol in their diets. Fats, cholesterol, and protein are the building blocks of developing muscles, bones and nervous systems. I don't advocate giving lots of sweets, sodas (diet or other wise), or goodies. Many years ago,…

I agree. I'd bet it's caffeine withdrawal, before I'd think wheat. I quit drinking cappuchino several years ago, and let me tell you, I was drinking 5 or 6 cups a day. If I slept in, I woke up with the shakes I needed it so badly. I had the full blown dt's when I quit. All the symptoms you state for almost 8 days. Massive…

Sorry, I don't know any "low cal" recipes; but you can make any recipe healthier. First of all, if you're making your crust from scratch, use whole wheat flour instead of white. Second, use healthy fats like olive oil instead of vegetable oil. Next, cut sugar or substitute splenda. Flavor ground turkey with beef bullion or…

I love Cacique at Lane Bryant. They run them Buy One Get One a couple of times a year. Lots of styles and colors. I used to wear Wonder Bra...(they call it that 'cause you wonder where the girls are when you're not wearing it)...no more..Cacique (pronounced Ca-seek) for me. Comfortable and long lasting. I'm a 46DD, so bras…

Oh! I am soo sorry you are having such a hard time. It is not uncommon to feel depressed or frustrated after surgery, especially one you didn't see coming. As for your daughter, do what I did with my then-3 year old after surgery to detach my twisted fallopian tube from my uterus, sit down and have her climb into your lap.…

Wow!!! Awesome job! Try doing the 30 day shred for a few days...supposed to be a kick-butt workout video. Bout $10 at Wally World. Good luck.

I believe it counts as water on Weight Watchers. I put one on the go pack with Live Active in a 44oz glass of ice water once a day. The rest of the time I drink plain water, water with lemon and occassionally water with lemon and 1 to 2 packs of sweetner. All 44oz glasses. I also count my glass of milk, but I aim for 9 to…

I know that I would never work out in the morning...I'm NOT a morning person. When I started exercising, I knew that if I over did it I would quit. I started walking on my 15 minute break at work. I got a friend to walk with me so I had someone I wouldn't want to say no to. Try cutting back and only doing 10 or 15 minutes…

I have been taking a college course on nutrition. It is a biology course and really goes in depth into the way your body processes food chemically and what have you. Taking this course has scared the bejabbers out of me, especially regarding low-carb diets. Glucose is the basis of every chemical, cellular and metabolic…

Simplykim419, I have always had a hard time losing weight. This time I've tried eating within one hour of waking and eating every three hours throughout the day. I have a snack 3 hours after breakfast, lunch three hours after that, another snack three hours later and then supper. I try very hard not to eat after 7 pm. My…

I had been wondering the same thing...now I know. Thanks!

I absolutely agree! I woud be a hypocryte if I didn't. For years I said that smoker's should pay more for healthcare than I did (back when I was thin and smoke free) Now that I'm heavy (and smoke free), I've been turned down, twice for life insurance, even when all my blood work was normal. When people put themselves in…

Hi! Welcome. I think you'll love this site. I know I do. Good start, keep up the good work!

Hardest thing for me is desserts/sweets. I didn't eat them everyday, but when I did, it was in spree manner. I haven't had any "junk food" for over ten days, and I am really craving something right now. I've been popping grapes and dry cheerios in my mouth off and on all day. It's tough.

If you have a smart phone, download a pedometer and calculate from the number of steps you walk.

I'm so sorry! Kick hubby in the @$$ and make him buy you something pretty! Great job, keep going. You are doing this for you, no on else.

FIrst of all, Sweetie, the shadow of my behind weighs more than you! At 5'6" 131 I'm SURE you are a knockout. Second, post menopause, weight is much harder to lose, cruel joke, I know. Third, you say you are doing strength training. Muscle weighs more than fat, so ask yourself this, "Are your clothes tighter?" If the…

I am taking a course on nutrition right now, I don't claim to be an expert, but what I have read is that your body can react to nutrient losses in a very short time (24 hours or less). So, balance your fruits and vegetables and make sure to eat legumes which provide protein. That way, your body doesn't have to accomodate…

Luck!!
