I'm doing slow carb as well, though I get some of the tenets mixed up with paleo so I might not be as 100% as I thought :-) But I've lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks, so I'll take it!

I don't live in AR anymore, but I used to live in Bentonville. Welcome to the site!

Welcome! Just wanted to say hi. I'm from Draper so we're neighbors :)

My son Toby is 4 and is "Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified."

Wow, I am impressed with everyone. Pretty amazing. My goal in January was to lose 120 lbs this year. That was a stupid goal. But despite having a few major surgeries and other setbacks, I did lose about 40 lbs. Not bad. I would like to lose another 10 before February (totally possible because I am still obese.) But I'm not…

Everything in sight. Which is my problem! :-)

Heh. The title of this thread made me think "you want to go on a diet to get high blood pressure?! You can just borrow my 3 year old for an hour! Problem solved!" I have HBP too. I have had to go on medication to control it (my pregnancy made it spike permanently and it caused damage to my heart, so I have to be really…

Where in Scotland are you from? I lived near Balloch for a time and miss it a lot :-) I've been unhappy with my body for years and years, you're definitely not alone there! The best thing about you starting now is that you won't have to spend the entirety of your 20's unhappy with yourself! It's a lot of work and I'm not…

Heh. When I was pregnant I visited my mom at around 6 months in, and she was all "hey, you are just like me! You don't look pregnant, you just look fat!" Thanks Mom. That's something a pregnant woman wants to hear. I think you should definitely respond with "oh yeah, I'm due in about 4 hours... it's a burger... we named it…

I've lost the same 10 lbs so many times I think I've lost 100 lbs overall! Heh. I really like pickles as a snack. You can get sweet ones or the savory ones, and they are nice and crunchy and satisfying. I just tried Famous Dave's signature style pickles and they are hot and sweet and spicy and fantastic. Even if I ate the…

I would like to get more into quilting. I made a baby blanket for my son in 2009 that I need to unstitch and re-sew because it looks like crap. I also made a quilt last year that looks a little better but still crappy. My problem is that I am so freaking impatient and I get the sewing machine going too fast and it does not…

I used to eat 2-3 apples a day until I was about 12. That's when mine hit. Totally sucks. I don't mind cooked fruit, but raw is so much better. Dangit.
-
Aw crap, my doctor juuuust started me on Effexor. I've heard such horror stories about it. I am all for going the herbal route. The whole reason I had surgery in May was to get OFF the painkiller I was on, so I'd be down to just 2 medications a day (Zoloft and blood pressure med.) The painkiller, Tramadol, is more powerful…

I totally thought I was a freak of nature until I saw an allergist 2 years ago and he told me about Oral Allergy Syndrome. Basically there is no cure and not really anything you can do to help it - you can try taking allergy medication. I took Xyzal but it didn't help me any. Allergist said that sometimes a year of allergy…
-
It's possible you have Oral Allergy Syndrome. This is what I have, and I can't eat any fruit except bananas and some types of grape. It totally sucks and I have no advice, but just know you're not alone!
-
Oh my do I belong here. I have severe social anxiety. I am currently working with my doctor to find the right medication - for 2 years I took a prescription painkiller for pain issues that knocked my anxiety off, but I just had surgery in May and the pain is gone so I'm quitting the painkiller and am reminded of how bad my…

i'm a wuss, so if i get a tiny burn i make my husband lather my back in aloe vera cooling gel. i think it helps, but I don't about how fast it works. it takes the pain out of the burn almost immediately, but if it's a bad burn the pain'll come back. sorry guys. Good luck.

HA HA HA. I love you.

Welcome! I used to live in Bentonville. Ah, those were the days :-)

I'm on the caffeine free nectar myself. It is dangerous. I am going to try and go off it next week but I don't know how well I'm gonna do. I quit soda altogether when I was 16-19 but now I am back on it and addicteeeeddd. Maybe we should start a support group!
-
I got in a fight once because some kid called my mom fat. I felt so awful, not because I fought or because I got in trouble, but because my mom made me tell her what the kid said and I can just imagine how it must have hurt her feelings. I'm not sorry I beat that kid up and I never will be - I'd do it again in a heartbeat.…
-
Yeah, you're not missing anything with Popeye's. It's kinda like KFC only yuckier. BUT for those who are not in the Western part of the US, you ARE missing out on Cafe Rio! A delicious fresh Mexican restaurant - not fast food, but not necessarily sit down either. It's kind of like a cafeteria experience - you go up to the…
-
And I want a cookie so bad I would eat your spit cookie. Dangit.

The more you flail and scream, the more you'll burn!

Ugh the healthy clam chowders are nasty!! DH bought me a bunch of them once to be nice and I can't eat any of them, they are so gross! I'd rather eat the not healthy one and work off the calories than gag down one of the low fat ones. Blech!
-
I learned to knit to keep my hands busy. It helps in the evenings.
-
It's a tubal + he's doing more stuff while he's poking around in there, so I'm not sure what the exact recovery time is. My mom has told me horror stories about her recovery so I'm terrified. It can't be worse than a C-section though ( I hope!) and I was walking around the day after I had mine, so hopefully I will be able…
-
Oh that sounds delicious... minus the bacon for me though, I don't like the flavor! But I think I know what I'll be having for lunch tomorrow :happy:
-
I totally know what you mean. I'm beyond addicted to food. It's kind of scary how bad it is. I'm still working on "fixing" myself, but I know it's going to be a long and probably painful process. :-( The other day DH and I ate a couple of pizzas and I felt like CRAP for the whole day. I was so sick I thought I was going to…

I should probably join you. Getting me out of bed before 10 is a major thing these days :) When I exercise I usually have a banana or something small about 15 minutes before, and then when I am done working out I come home and have a bowl of oatmeal. Mmmm, oatmeal. Or a smoothie. Depending on how my mood is :)
