After running into an old classmate that I haven't seen since grade school- she said, "WOW! You were bigger than that in Girl Scouts!" We cracked up!

If I get the eye roll, I quote Cher ~ "If it came in a bottle everyone would have a great body." That usually quiets things down and gets the point across too.

I am switching to these- Keebler Mini Club Crackers. Look up the nutritional value with the food entry tool on MFP. The best thing about it is that one serving contains 17 crackers! Easy to count out and not go over. It's worth it for my cravings for the carb & calorie count. I can easily fit them in!

Congrats! Keep on keeping on! You know you can do it!!

Excerpt from above link (from June 2003) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1773667/ "To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of markedly raised levels of CA19.9 associated with heavy tea consumption. The mechanism of this relation remains unclear. In addition, the epithelial tissue target involved in…

Interesting post, as I was just researching a blood test known as CA19-9 this morning. Usually used as a tumor marker, I came across this study- http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1773667/ .

I recently added Chia Seeds to my diet. I mix one teaspoon in my daily yogurt, then let it sit for 20 minutes. It gives me a very full feeling that lasts all day.

Topped with a sprinkle of pepper and chives if I feel like dressing it up. I enjoy it plain the most.

Right?! I can't take in seriously in a scientific way myself, being written by a hairdresser. People can use their own time and resources to google or read for the science or mechanisms behind things. As I say, I did a lot of reading, exercising, and adjusting. I kept it up and it worked for me. Just wanted to express…

Regarding 'mechanism/s' that would cause exercise to get rid of sagging skin, I'm not the best at summing up everything I've read in a sentence or two, so I'll spare you that! Here is a link to part of what I believe happens undehttp://www.healthguidance.org/entry/15096/1/How-to-Tighten-Saggy-Skin.htmlr the paragraph Get…

I agree with the above. Youth is also on your side. I am over 50 and lost a lot of weight previously. I started exercising and strength training after losing the first twenty pounds. I was still able to lose a pound a week by paying attention to my macros and upping my calories in accordance with my strength training. I…

Must have a good Club Sandwich! I believe they are authentically American and can be found about anywhere!

I just added chia seeds to my diet, just a teaspoon in my morning yogurt every day. They make me feel so full that I have to remind myself to eat for the sake of nutrition. I've been eating them for about two weeks, so I may become adjusted.

Very curious- is it the weight loss Dr. that prescribed to you the med that is known to cause diabetes? If not, your other Dr. should review the blood work and the two of you should discuss the risks of taking that med. Otherwise, I would definitely seek another opinion from a primary care or endocrinologist.

Yes

I'd bet there is a 99.999% chance that the Dr. probably just remembered something important that he had to chart, do, fix, whatever, and the moment he remembered was totally irrelevant to the 'view'. I think it was MORE professional of him to admit that he lost his train of thought- just in case he was discussing something…

I like your post. It was just what I needed to hear today!

My 'observations' regarding this post: 1) Chumming for sharks, you'll get some snark. 2) Pink says, 'na na na na na I want to start a fight!' 3) People stating 'stipulations' on friend requests are actually being kind, honest, straight-shooters. Why waste anyone's time? 4) There is no such thing as a level playing field…

and so very cool:

Everybody wants to rule the world.......

I recently switched to J&J Baby Shampoo and have been using a Coconut Oil treatment before I wash my hair. It looked and felt better to me, but it really must be working, as my friends who have not seen me for a while kept commenting that my hair looked so shiny, healthy, and had really grown a lot. I just use the cheap…
