Any suggestions? I don't know of any Disney characters with short blonde hair. She does resemble a friend I used to hang out with in hi school.

By the person above me refer to the person who posted before me? I guess I don't understand the question.

Welcome jofjltncb6... You just happened to come in during a sensitive subject debate, so please don't let it scare you off.

When someone eats a hi carb meal, it spikes the blood sugar and you experience an insulin dump, which crashes your blood sugar and the body becomes hungry for more hi carb foods to try and achieve balance. It's a vicious circle. There is always sugar free candies and low sugar jams and stuff like that and those will help a…

Different people have different body types. Some lose easier or maintain easier. I agree that the rant should have been directed to the person that started it, but in a personal message that does not involve the rest of the community. I have obesity and heart disease on both sides of my family so I really have to watch it.…

I went off the Atkins wagon during the holidays and while on Winter break from school. Thankfully I only loaded on 7 lbs, and I have no doubt it will come back off soon. i am back doing Atkins again, but when I logged my breakfast entree, I was floored to find out the sodium content was about 1500 mg!!! I will have to use…

Joeporta- I just bought an ipod shuffle for about 50 bucks, went on Itunes and made an awesome playlist, then had it loaded on to my Ipod. I also have an Iphone so I have my music with me always.

I like my jazz. Vincent Geraldi is one of my favorites. He plays the music behind all of the Charly Brown cartoons. I have one of his CD's.

My first husband was the same way. He would get angry about something and not talk to me for 3 or 4 days sometimes. He came home from Vietnam with PTSD BIG TIME. Was your husband in the service??? I don't blame my ex for the way he was. He had good days and bad days. I thought I could love him through it. The difference…

I am curious. How could a c-section effect the ability to lose belly fat? I had one 27 years ago.

GEEZ! Can I relate! I have been doing water aerobics for months. My legs are getting tighter, my arms are amazing and some fat is coming off of my back. This massive gut is driving me crazy! It gets in my way during Aquafit class and some of my weight trainiing equipment. It has been suggested I up my program with an…

Some guys are turned on by large women. I have heard several stories like this one. Maybe some couples councilling is in order here. Sex is, indeed, an important part of a marriage and you both need to really want change. That's why I recommend couples councilling. You both must be willing to save your marriage, or it's…

Mine was June 20th...I went to the gym in my bathing suit under my clothes and when I was done with my water aerobics, I showered and went to get dressed. Like a dip%$# I forgot to pack my underwear, so I drove home with no panties. It felt so nice and cool and there were no panty lines in my stretch pants so I spent the…

My arms just near my armpits get chaffed when I use my arms during my aqua aerobics sessions. They rub on the side of my suit and now I have rough patches (painful ones) under my arms. I work out quite aggressively. Would the technique work to decrease the friction from my suit? The effected skin feels like an old suitcase…

I have taken to pool excersize as well. I have severe osteoarthritis in both knees and weigh twice what I should. My water aerobics classes 5 days a week are great. Sometimes as well as swimming and calisthenics I like to water walk as a warm up before my more rigorous activities. I am very exasporated this morning,…

Yes. I log on my 8 calorie energy drinks, diet soda (diet Coke and Fresca). We have the option to track our water, so I usually track everything I put in my mouth. My fitness program includes weight loss so I need to take logging seriousely. I was logging manually before MFP and it sucked big time. I got lazy and neglected…

I have seen my weight melt off as long as I go to the gym at least 5 days a week. I have indeed become obsessive about my fitness routine and I feel it is helping me a great deal. It helps me stay motivated to eat healthy and "properly". This meaning, now that I am active, I am getting the carbs and the protein I need to…

I'm with you all the way darlin... I started my program at 320 lbs about 5 months ago, give or take. I have osteoarthritis in both knees and my doctor told me my knees and my skeleton won't support my weight much longer. I didn't want to end up like those people who retreat to their beds and are miserable. I watched a show…

I allow myself a treat twice a month. My treat is a McDonalds McFlurry with reeses peanutbutter cups in it. Yeah, it'a about 600 or 700 calories but I don't do it a lot. It helps me to feel less "deprived" of tasty snacks and steels my wool. I work out 5 days a week anyways... It keeps me from binging and going for that…

Tummy tuck and a new wardrobe and a trip to Maui...

I can relate. My drawers are getting baggy, I am always jerking up on my pants. My face is thinning ( no more double chin!!). My outer thighs are getting very firm, but my inner thighs are still soft as a wet noodle. VERY frustrating. I have severe osteo-artheritis in both knees so I can't do the treadmill, elyptical or…

sugar free jello with fat free whipped cream on it. Three butterscotch disks ( or most hard candy) is only about 35 calories. Suck on it and TRY NOT to chew it. (good luck with THAT) Stash liquorice tea is only a few calories and is made with Anise root. It is a very powerful sweetener and it also calms my desire for…

put a smidgen of cayenne in those eggs and enjoy...

I have been interested in the challenge of taking our favorite sinfull food pleasures and trying to create healthier alternatives. Nut butters are all fattening but are packed with protein and other nutrients. Just get a good, sturdy food processor and pulverize the %$#$% out of the filberts, add a little unsweetened cocoa…

It seems to be a social or culture thing. Stand your ground and people will (eventually) respect you for it. Nobody tells me what to put in to my body. I have just said thank you but i am not hungry. Many people have made eating to be a recreational activity and frankly, that's how it is in our culture. That is why there…

I splash a little worchestershire in mine. It kind of reminds me of a curry dish. I also like to eat mine with canned mandarin oranges or pears. (-:

I like to sprinkle fat free cocoa powder on mine

I sometimes cut up a banana and put fat free caramel whipped cream or sugar free caramel icecream topping on them. Either one is delish.

I like using it on toaster waffles, or crepes,with a little orange liquor drizzled in with it.

The idea of substituting chicken breasts for wings is a great idea..A lot of the fat is in the skin, so boneless and skinless is the way to go. I gave up buffalo wings a while back but I am always up to the challenge of re-creating our favorite munchies to be lower in fat and or sodium. So far, I have been using…
