i totally understand how you feel, I felt the same way.. heres what Ive found drink lots of water, it will curb your appetite some. measure your food. get a scale and measuring cups. set times to eat (I eat every 3-4 hours) set a calorie allotment for each meal if you want a treat, have it but only have half a serving (you…

not avon Quixtar. we have artistry.. they must have an 800 number

just an FYI tilapia was the focus of a study recently that found it in particular had very high levels of un healthy omega fats (there are both good and bad ones) I think the study compared the damage of eating it to being close to a cheese burger. EEK :cry: salmon is great though here is the study…

im so very proud of you!!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

morning all. bit rough here still but i do feel better after getting outside and running with the kids it was a rough day for injuries too.nate (the baby)he fell at the playgground and smashed his tooth into his lip. it bled a lot but he was fine in like 5 minutes. hes almost 2 so he wasnt phased then last night at…

you can always look up th stuff hand a print out to your dr and ask. worst he says is no :heart:

oh how I miss being pregnant! oh I just love babies and everything that goes with it. EXCEPT that glucose test. YUCKY. i found out with my last two there is a meal alternative to the orange drink. My midwife gave me a menue for the test. it was something like 2 eggs(anyway other than fried) spinach, ham and toast

morning :grumble: im still here. thank you stacy for the idea. I now have a list of 4 whole things. it is not easy. I am just in a funk. that is why I am back here bright and early. you guys are all so supportive, and genuine. I need that right now

im in the normal range of BMI but my clothes still dont fit right. I think maybe I may go for 110 in stead of the 105. Im not happy with where I am but then again I am not sure I will ever be happy with what my body looks like.

ha! found you! happy wednesday evening. Nice to "see" everyone here and doing ok. ive had kind of an up/down week so far. sunday I fit into the dress I bought for christmas. the dress that made me open my eyes to the fact that I had put on a bunch of weight. i bought it for 2$ and didn't bother to try it on. I figured it…

good cook? i dont know about that... maybe just lucky:wink:

its all in how they are cooked. if you dont use enough water,overcook them or cook them totally confined to a space they get bitter.it has something to do with the acid in the food, the same can happen to asparagus,cauliflower and cabbage

i went way over too last night. i got chinese food and had planed to only eat the veggies and stuff. but the stooopid fried crap chased me down and "battered" me upside the head until i had some. you can never really have just a bite though. I KNEW i went over as I was eating. so i put the kids to bed and ran the stairs…

the thought occured to me today... if your nursing, and baby is nursing more than usual and not sleeping. it could be a growth spurt in which case you will have more milk and that will add significantly to your weight.:flowerforyou:

the dress fits, but not yet the way i want it to. however it does hide the places my weight sticks to. but i have a 150$ gift card to macy's that is waiting for my goal weight

<~~~~see!

what a huge difference! :drinker: yay! your doing great

I bought this cute skirt to wear for christmas. I thought it would be a little big but I liked it that much. it was way cute, black linen with embrodered flowers. I bought it at a second hand shop for 2$. got it home , went to try it on and I couldnt get it past my thighs!. i was shocked, it didnt fit. then i bought a…

i know that i gained more weight when I was working nights. not getting enough sleep triggers things in your body. I think the doctor said cortisol can be triggered from not enough sleep, and you metabolism can be slowed from it. maybe im crazy

just a tip for all you natural pb lovers. after you mix it te first time store it upside down you wont ave to mix it and you wont end up with the dry chalky pb at the bottom of the jar :drinker:

i have never made this recipe but i often add rolled oats to all my meat recipes. fly lady recomends that for a lot of them. its yummy and you dont really notice it.

i think it does matter. your matabolism needs consistency to run properly. perhaps looking at your choices of foods may help. portions and low calories filling foods help. combining lean protein and good carbs will help too. so will fiber http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/4463.html plus i dont think you can get all the…

me too!

i even iron my underwear, socks too. table cloths and jeans.maybe something is really wrong with me

really? what do you do about wrinkles?

i ended up not being able to get the sea bass since the season for it is done. I made grilled salmon with chives over wattercress and spinach on a pool of chick pea puree with garlic and basil. topped it off with some sweet balsamic and YUMMY!

hmm. 7 things 1. I am a rediculously bad speller. i try but I am just horrid at it. I think people think I am stupid becasue of it, in turn I dumb things down so I dont make too many spelling errors (and it is still bad) 2. I worked at a haunted house and got to scare kevin bacon and sean pen. 3. I always have to drive the…

your always welcome to come down!

i think we all have those kinds of days though. well maybe except miss hannigan over there. hehe dont get me wrong my kids are good kids but it's crazy here sometimes. Im sure marla's hosue gets the best of her sometimes too... i think. the one thing that has been helpful for me is posting the rules and consequences.

book shelves need to be gone through. therapy for sam's week needs to be finished. i have to go to the fish store. the boys love it since they have whole fish there to check out. i have to vaccuum. 4 loads of laundry. prepare the ingredients for the rosary party dishes tomorrow. grocery shopping. taxes. baseball for AJ and…
