  • Every time I would take a regular multi-vitamin, I would get sick. Now, I take Vitamin D3, magnesium, and a generic prenatal. I take everything before going to bed and no longer have problems.

  • mmmm chik-fil-a is my new found food-obsession! I love the original chicken sandwich, and I dont beat myself up over having one every once in a while (maybe one or two a month).

  • I only know one of my friends, but I haven't even seen him in person for several years now. I'm like you....I've been using MFP for a while, but am a newbie to the message boards and accepting "friends" on here. I avoided it for a really long time because I wanted to keep everything private. It's hard to do that and…
  • I like a bowl of mixed fresh fruit with a FEW chocolate chips mixed in. Sweet and chocolately!
