You can also check around your town to see if there is a non profit clinic. These are popping up all over.... physicians realize that there is little or no help for some people and volunteer their time and services for donations to the clinics. Best of luck to you.

I guess the funny thing is, I went there thinking it was comparable to Subway (which I usually choose if I have to eat lunch out). Couldn't believe the difference in calories. I chose that rather than McDonalds where I sometimes "treat" myself to a kids cheeseburger happy meal with a real coke... that would have only been…

Congratulations on your loss! I would bet that the 6 sizes and the inches lost were more from the vigorous exercise program she puts them on. Several times on the Biggest Loser at the finale, the contestants look like they weigh FAR less than what the scale says! They work out for HOURS a day.

I feel your pain. I have been living in a hotel for 2 weeks and have 2 more weeks to go (extensive house repairs). I am averaging going over my calories by about 300 extra calories a day. I am logging everything though. I maintained last week and I think I may gain 1 or 2 lbs. this week (it was my birthday). Make the best…

Jacob is exceptionally yummy in this one.

It was very good, but I almost feel like I need to watch it again. So much story crammed into two hours... I am glad that they are breaking "Breaking Dawn" into 2 movies. Thanks for the encouragement!

ugh... don't even get me started. years ago, I had lost down to 129 lbs. from 170 lbs. At 170, I was wearing a size 12 to 14. After losing that weight, I was able to squeeze into a size 9 skirt. I found the skirt the other day when packing up some boxes. Let me tell you, the size 9 skirt from 15 years ago looks like a size…

you look wonderful. I want to give your BIL a swift kick to the face.

I'm to the point of thinking that the government SHOULD get involved. Tax the fast food crap so high that people won't eat it. That is awful...

aw ((((hugs)))). It's also nice to have the mindset that I can actually swim or just walk for 1/2 an hour, not kill myself in the gym for 2 hours at a time. I am not going to sustain that.... and can't sustain it with my back problems. I really love this site.

Blackeyed Peas, Ke$ha, Justin Timberlake, Prince... It's got to have a beat and be a little funky

I think it's because your name is Kelly and your initials are KJL... I'm Kelly Joyner Lee and have the same problems! :)

I have read the Skinny *itch book and honestly, I don't know how anyone can eat meat after that...

I am eating between 1200-1700 a day. I try to alternate a low cal and high cal day. I burn between 400-600 calories a day with my workouts.

Thanks for the input. Actually, the person at the gym is a certified nutritionist (for over 20 years). She just doesn't have a practice anymore. I use homemade vinagrettes most of the time and my nuts are usually always raw almonds, sometimes cashews.

I actually cannot stand any of the meat substitutes. I don't like them at all and don't eat them. My usual day is: Breakfast: Either a bowl of Kellogg's Smart Start with 2% organic milk and blueberries or strawberries or Weight control high protein oatmeal with raisins or an egg, a slice of high fiber toast and a banana…

Thanks everyone... I may have to go to a larger city for a dietician that is knowledgable in this though. I live in a small town and people look at you like you have 4 heads if you say you don't eat meat. Thanks for all of the advice!

sugar

now darn it jaybird, that just makes me mad! LOL. About 13 years ago, I lost from 172 to 129. Even at 129 lbs. I was wearing a size 9/10. I, evidently, am built like a truck.

Well consider yourself lucky... I am 5'2" on a good day and weigh around 221. I wear an 18/20.

I thought mine was open??? <---techno challenged.

My hubby has mine hidden.

I'm already doing 1300 calories a day and burning about 500-700. I don't think I can dip any lower.

Thank you for posting that! As the sister of a mentally and physically retarded person I have grown weary of the use of the word. I had no idea about this website... I will absolutely check it out. As far as the friend goes, if she has taken nutrition classes, she knows very well that what she is doing is dangerous. I…

put some ice on it too after you run. Shin splints are terrible!

This is exactly what I was going to suggest. Plan your food for the day, portion it out and have it in a lunch bag or special shelf. When it is time for a meal or a snack, that is what you have. When it's gone... you are done. Good luck!

Well I am glad to know that I am not alone!!! LOL.

Thanks... I actually just wrapped my left arm and just the compression is helping.

I just soaked in a STEAMING hot tub and that is SO much better than the ice. I was actually able to straighten my arms afterwards without tears!

Thanks. I may go for a walk later, but nothing more than that today!
