I held on to stuff just in case and ended up gaining it all back and then some. This time I am gladly giving the too big clothes away and not looking back. I think it can set you up for failure. Now I am not losing too quickly so I have only went down 2 jeans sizes and many of my shirts still fit. I had some very nice…

I say don't stress about it. I bet as long as you are working out & losing weight your periods will keep coming and it will happen. Mine are normal as long as I do this, as soon as I get off track I can tell it because my cycles stop or get farther apart. I did take Clomid for my 2nd child for 2 rounds. That has been 8…

Rocky Mountain oysters, my grandma had a plate of yummy looking somethings on a plate and I wanted one. I knew something was going on when everyone tittered and asked "how'd you like those?" - not much, texture was weird. I don't know if they still do it, but there is a local pizza place that makes a pizza with cicadas on…

Has no one mentioned peaches with cottage cheese?- yum! Second best way to eat it is with homegrown tomatoes and a bit of pepper. Stay away from the fat free kind, they taste wrong.

The ones you don't like are all my favorites, sorry no help here.

I ordered it as a side at Ruby's, I was so happy to see it on the menu. I cook it for myself at home, but the rest of the family insists on pasta.

I would be creeped out if my gyno said that :noway: well, a bit pleased too.

:laugh: weren't so "open"…bending over, squatting… OMG I can't stop laughing. The image in my head ..get out!

I was thinking of purchasing a fitbit myself and it looks like there's a lot of people that love them. Any advice on which one to purchase?

Just admit you was just staring at the profile pic of the one :blushing:

i wish mine would have taken care of the fox that took out 9 of my chickens this summer. We have been keeping them in their yard instead of free ranging and they are not as happy as they should be. I know some people have problems with heelers killing chickens, looks like we have two well behaved ones. To the OP, I am so…

I put a treat in the box and took a toy and said here is where it goes - Toys Up is what I say now and point or walk over to the box to let her know. They really are a intelligent breed. I had a Bull Mastiff once and she was a big baby but not so trainable. Cattle Dogs go through the toys! She shredded a tire toy in a week…

Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler)- I have one myself and she is the best dog in the world. We have cattle, but she mostly herds our chickens. They can be very dominant and need a strong leader. She is fine with my oldest son, but my youngest she tries to nip at. We are working with her on that, it helps if they can be…

Great job!

I ran into my art professor at the gym locker room once and she was talking to me while changing, stood there for a minute or so totally topless. I was like, well, this is awkward, but she was totally cool with it.

i am still on here too. I have been super busy and haven't commented a lot. Maybe that's the case for a lot of others too! I have a confession, my garden went unattended and neglected this year for the most part. We were finishing a home addition and building a new chicken coop. My tomatoes died, but my kale went strong…

I was raised on a dairy farm, but we always had a steer for the freezer and had chicken and pork, hunted deer, rabbit, and squirrel. My husband's family raised beef cattle and we are doing the same now. My children are learning to hunt, fish, and be self reliant. My husband works with a "city" girl who made the comment…

You lost a whole person- you are awesome. Don't throw that scale out the window, you are so strong now you might hit someone and hurt them-:laugh: I jump on my scale everyday. I even have a talking one, it says "Are you ready?" "Stand still" "You're weight is xxx pounds." Sometimes she is my friend, sometimes she is a real…

There is a website I use called calorie lab that will help you get a more accurate calorie burn for activities that aren't run of the mill. I do different jobs on our farm and not everything is in the database here. I looked up the burn for an 180 lb person under occupation, steel mill, forging and got 369 calories an…

There are a rare few allergic to water.

Oh, surely she didn't say kill off sugar, perhaps she was using sugar as Southerners use it describing diabetes and meant to bring insulin levels down or under control? I don't know about detoxing your whole body, perhaps she meant using up the energy stored in your liver. Most certainly she should reword her spiel.

I would do it early as possible to get it over with and since some days you go in at 8 am and sometimes 11:30. I used to work a shift like that in a nursing home kitchen and I was young and childless and it still drained me. So I wish you the best.

We have the option to get a flu shot at work, which I do b/c I have had the flu twice and both times I felt like I could die. There are always a lot who decline it b/c they swear it makes them sick. The pamphlet they send out beforehand explains that if you are harboring a cold and get the shot, your immune system is…

Are you suffering form recurring yeast infections? If so, give it a whirl. I had that problem, my doc told me it was from my higher insulin levels in my system (guess I was just too sweet) and cutting out the sugar completely for a while and then reducing my previous levels drastically helped. Now if I just say screw it…

I would skip the gym and work out at home with my daughter if I was you. I did this when I was home when my boys were little. I'd lift them up in the air and use them as weights and they had a good time having playtime with their mom. As they got older they would sometimes come do workouts with me. I have a set schedule…

You are awesome, that one is good. A friend of mine always says she not fat, she's prosperous. I say in that my bulk is my insurance against starvation if I ever get stranded in a blizzard.

Yes you did and that was good advice. I was commenting to some snarky comments made after she deactivated her account about hand holding and such. Then there were comments made about badgers and a cute gif.

"Be my guest. I would like to forewarn you that I don't ask questions about my intake (I actually picked a number then then lowered/raised it until I found a point that worked for me on a consistent basis) I don't overestimate my burns, and I lose weight/inches on a consistent basis. When I do ask for advice I don't argue…

Well bless your little heart. Let me badger to you to show some compassion. Obviously the person we are talking about has more issues than weight, instead of backing off some people turn into wolves on here. Dancing badgers are so much nicer. Everyone is different, and everyone learns and comes to realizations differently.…

"Our country is doomed until people start to realize that there are other options on election day than the Republican or Democrat. Everyone is so focused on hating liberals or hating conservatives that they ignore the underdogs, the people whose names they DON'T recognize. " I agree, perhaps some good will come out of all…
