The pudding to use is the dry mix. :)

Maybe not the cleanest but it's really good and really filling: Depending on quantity and additions this usually comes in between 100-200 calories. Mix 1/2 to 1 cup plain Fage 0% + 1-2 Tbs whipped cream + 1 package Stevia-in-the-raw + one of the following: 1. 1-2 Tbs. Sugar-free lemon pudding and fresh blueberries. 2.…

1 cup of bay shrimp is 90 cals. For around 150 cals put the shrimp over a big bowl of romaine and add some low-cal dressing. They really are coming out with some good ones since they started using yogurt as their base.

FitFlops! I had this and couldn't walk for months. Put on a pair of FitFlop sandels that my friends in England told me about and that was it. (FitFlops is an English company). I keep them by my bedside and put them on first thing in the morning. I keep them on around the house. I rarely go barefoot anymore. I got some…

Yes and I suffered with bad feet for years (decades). I could never walk for very long and running was out of the question. About two years ago someone told me about Fit Flops. On a whim I bought a pair of sandals and I've never looked back. I now own two pairs of Fit Flop clogs and 1 pair of their tennis shoes. I can walk…

Are you taking a Statin for high cholesterol? If so then you might want to do some research. Not only are they finding that statins are increasing diabetes type 2 but also some people are experiencing severe memory loss, which can be reversed if the statins are no longer taken.

I'll be 52 next month and I have a 14 year old and 9 year old. Somehow I didn't get the word that getting pregnant was difficult when you got older. LOL I have about 40 pounds to lose but would be thrilled with 25. Oh and I'm now single too. There are so many men my age looking for someone like me that has younger kids.…

Just a quick comment from someone who writes questionnaires/surveys for a living. I'm not sure what your hypothesis is but the title of this post asks for married folks only while the last question asks if you're still together. Is there a counter question for those of us who are divorced? I'm interested in knowing what…

Hey that's my schedule! :) I also add in a 30-45 minutewalk during lunch but at a leisurely pace.

I smoked for 30 years ( a pack a day) and quit in Jan 2010. I used the patch plus the nicotine gum. The patch helped overall but when a bad craving came, the gum put a stop to it. You have to chew the gum properly or it will make you sick. I think you chew it a few times and then stop for a minute or two and repeat. Also I…

I eat them for breakfast now and then. Hash browns! Shred em' and use a little oil, butter or spray to cook them. Even better when you add the onions and peppers.

The feeling of being satiated comes from fats and as others have said you need some protein. Fix some scrambled eggs and top it with melted string cheese. Also beans really help too. A scoop or refried beans or other type with the eggs would help too.

Aw, that's a great idea! Wonder how he can get her heart rate up? LOL

Lucky you! If it was me, I'd do 3 days of strength training (weights) and 20-30 mins of light cardio on those days (treadmill walking - eliptical). 2 days of one of the heavy cardio classes (spinning, zumba, etc) and 1 day for muscle stretching (yoga or pilates), This is what I'm going for but my gym doesn't have the…

Congratulations! That is so exciting. We're very close on the starting weight and goal weight. I bet I'll be jumping around when I see that number too!

I used a patch and the nicotine gum for bad cravings. Spicy candy/gum does help too. Congrats and Good Luck!!!

No the program will be paid for by all of us sharing the risk by insisting everyone has health insurance. Right now those of us who have insurance are subsidizing those that don't through our own insurance premiums and through our taxes. By insisting that no one can be denied and that everyone has to pay for insurance then…

I take Xanax. I love to travel but have anxiety attacks when flying. Not a pretty sight. I've even thrown out my shoulder by gripping the arm of the seat too hard. I tried everything from bio feedback to alcohol. Xanax worked the best for me. It's not much fun for your partner as you sleep a lot. Also make sure someone is…

Your partner wants a girlfriend. He does not want to be a husband or father. Chances of him changing? Zero to none. Sorry to be blunt. Someone earlier mentioned about imagining if someone came to you about this situation what would you say. I would say imagine it was your daughter. For major decisions in life, I've always…

Raises Hand! 51 and 40 something to lose. Would be thrilled with 25!

LOL Okay, you don't have one Those kids do you! My son has chunked out since he was three-years-old then he would get on a growing spurt and be thin as a rail. Right now he's chunky but starting to grow again. Four inches in the last year and is now taller than me. He'll be about 6'3 or 6'4. He already has more muscle than…

This keeps coming up. What I want to say is what's the big deal about it? There's lots of things on that database that make me go O.O. Bowling? Okay, but if you look at the calories listed as burned there is a set number for a low level activity and a set one for medium, too. As to house cleaning. I have a sedentary desk…

Olivia, Thank you so much for sharing this. I've been doing this for over almost 2 weeks now and I've finally broke a plateau I've had for over 2 months. I think just having a set number of calories is best for me. While I do exercise everyday, I rarely get to the point where I need to eat back the calories. Eating within…

I don't think I had problems sweating or getting my heart rate up. However, until they got the levels right in my medication, no matter what I did I couldn't get the weight off and when it was really out of whack I gained almost 20 pounds. Over ten of it in three months. I'm guessing I would have gained more if I hadn't…
