Potatoes. In any form. Especially french fries and chips, but mashed or scalloped, with or without cheese-yuck!

My husband is a vegetarian, and I have only been trying to eat primal for about a month and a half (two months gluten-free.) In some ways, not much as changed, as I've had to add meat to my dishes ever since he went veggie about four and a half years ago. But it's been tougher since I went primal, even though he is…

I am really glad to read that this was not unusual and was not in my head. I just went gluten free, beginning last Friday, and I've definitely been experiencing what I would call detox symptoms- fatigue, headache, and my gut is still grumbling occasionally. I was beginning to wonder if maybe I was actually sick, but from…

Congrats! That is so awesome! :) I just hit my goal weight today, too, with my "jeans size" victory coming a couple of weeks ago. :D

I would recommend that you get it checked out. I had a very similar kind of pain, and my PCP initially thought it was a groin strain. However, after two months of Physical Therapy, it wasn't any better, so they sent me to an orthopedist. He sent me for an MRI, and it turned out that it was a tear in the labrum of my hip…

I really like Moving Comfort's sports bras, especially the Helena bra. The Fiona bra works pretty well, too. They're the only "high-impact" sports bras that actually feel like they're really supporting me. Kay

Greetings, all! I'm Kay and I'm 32. I've been married to Ben for a little more than four years. No kids yet (had a miscarriage a little more than a year ago, and no luck yet, but we're still trying!) but we do have three cats that are very special to us! I work as a speech-language pathologist in a private group practice,…

Exactly! Prayer was actually a very important part of my weight loss journey, but the crucial part was putting that prayer into motion and making the changes I needed to in ALL areas of my life (diet and exercise primarily, but also my mental/emotional relationship with food, among other things.) Emotional support is also…

I've had it a few times and haven't had any problems with it. I'm actually planning on having some with dinner tonight. I think the important thing to remember is that some people may have allergic reactions. But that's true of other foods that many of us eat every day. Just pay attention to how your body responds after…

I know the feeling. After I started the most recent part of my weight loss journey (I joined First Place 4 Health in January, 2010, long before I was pointed to MFP) I lost a little more than 20 pounds, and stayed within the same five pound range for an entire year. Sometime in August of this year, I made some dietary…

That's so awesome! Congratulations and keep up the great work! :)

You are SO right- believing in yourself is such an important part of success in weight loss (I am just a few pounds from my goal weight, almost 60lbs down from my highest weight.) And surrounding yourself with positive people to encourage you, push you and hold you accountable is a huge part of that. I'm not a fitness…

I understand the feeling of frustration- I had to stop running due to a hip and ankle injury, which I ended up having arthroscopic hip surgery for. It was tough- going from being very active to being able to do nothing. I was able to maintain my weight within a five pound range, even while being fairly sedentary, and…

Thanks for posting this- I hadn't seen it before! :)

I just found this and I am totally in! I'll be going pretty slow in the beginning, as I my hip is still healing several months post-surgery (arthroscopic repair of a labral tear in my hip,) but even a couple of miles at a time will get me there eventually! What an awesome idea! :)

Welcome! Having been a grad student myself, I know how hard it can be to eat healthy meals and make time to exercise. In fact, I know I put on a fair amount of weight during grad school. :p Congrats on losing the 40 pounds- that is a big accomplishment! I've only been on this site for about a week, having lost most of my…

Awesome! Keep up the good work! :)
