That's a wonderful choice of personal reward! "Like"

Beautiful sunsets Hummingbirds A call from an old friend The scent of flowers in bloom The Grand Canyon Differences among people A pleasant surprise Friend's & family's successes and happiness

Yes protein is necessary. If you don't get enough through the foods you eat or you chooses to supplement more than protein powder is helpful. Remember the other macro nutrients are important as well.

So glad you're enjoying it! My blemder is an item I too rewarded myself with and I use it daily!

Yes get the help you need and surround yourself with positive and successful minded people. Try to stop the self pity and negative talk. I stead try to become your own best friend saying things to yourself that you say to someone you care about and want to help support. You'll get through this... Just keep moving forward…

Always listen to your body but first listen to your doctor. Go, and make sure your health is good. Otherwise sounds like your doing great! Congratulations on your new found interests!!!

I was, I am and proud of it. It has worked for our family. I still have a business that I own and run from home but honestly I make my hours and work around my family's schedule. If you can do it and have the encouragement and support of your partner and the inclination to be at home with your children then go for it!

No. Is this a question for discussion or are you feeling this way? If you are please continue to speak about it and to see you primary care about it. Could be a chemical imbalance and easily corrected. :flowerforyou:

Wet, cold and easy! A smoothie

Love this idea! Thanks so much for trying and sharing!

Looking great! :wink:

The personal trainer may have not discussed food at their first session or may have discussed it but your friend wants to start with things on her terms. Who knows? Play the wait and see game. She will ask you questions soon enough. Remember how difficult this is and how overwhelming we all felt at one time or another.…

I so understand what you're saying! Mine was the same way. Keep on keeping on and they will follow. You'll see! Don't cave under the pressure. I bet they truly appreciate what your doing :flowerforyou:

Excellent post

It's an alert in the least and a red flag at face value. But I don't understand what the argument was over? His ex girlfriend lives in the same country which he failed to mention? Who fights over that? A country is a big place.

Since he is physically able to hold til the diaper is on then he's probably ready to learn how to use the potty. Start by asking him if he needs to go and explain that he can now begin to use the potty. Watch for signs that hes about to pee and gently and matter of factly prompt him towards the potty. When he uses the…

Have to agree. No measureable difference. It's personal preference.

Right earring has to go on before my left. If I have a bad day those earrings probably won't ever, never, ever going to be worn again. :smile:

Brilliant! :laugh:

Exactly! You have a great attitude! Stick with it and you will see results!

Gyms have policies to protect members and also to keep members feeling comfortable about other members behavior. I'm pretty sure proper attire on feet would be covered. Maybe no one noticed? I'd walk away and either find a different spot to work or I'd say something to a manager if it truly was unsafe.

I'm sorry you're feeling down! Spouse or significant other should be a supportive person in your life. If not either get rid of him or use the feelings to increase your strength and determination if at all possible. Good luck :flowerforyou:

I am not an expert and think you should perhaps see your doctor but it does remind me of how my friend feels when she eats certain foods and that's why she's now gluten free for the past several years. Check out gluten sensitivity and see if it sounds like what you're experiencing.

^^this^^. first of all Congratulations for beginning this journey! Starting tomorrow I recommend you consider prelogging your favorite, go to foods that you consider healthy in order to learn the nutritional makeup of those foods. When you educate yourself about the foods you're choosing you can make more informed choices…

Welcome! This is a great resource to help with the goals you've listed. Good luck!

Watching an episode of Parenthood brought tears to my eyes tonight

Yes, unfortunately I'd say yes it is.

My weight loss has occurred over several years but mostly over the last year so people know I've been much more focused and conscientious about losing weight for a while. Difference is they keep mentioning it to me over the past 6- 12 months. I don't mention it because how I eat, exercise and live is ingrained and a part…

I workout Any time I have available. Usually try to follow a schedule and for me generally morning is good but truly as long as your getting it done... Your good!

Do whatever you want but looking at your profile I've got to tell you that many women would love to have a body like yours.
