Careful with dried fruits..higher sugar content (at least that is what I was told) stick with fresh fruit!

My dietician said to make sure you have a snack in the evening for that reason...last night I had a no sugar added pudding, banana with walnuts and almonds. Don't be afraid to snack..just make sure you remember it when your meal planning!

Nope me either! I'm the same as Sozano...I feel like I over eat if I do!

Welcome! This is an awesome site....come here often as there is always advice on the boards to read! And some really great recipes too!

Its a brand that Amway carries. They are good but I'm not sure if the price really reflects anything other than the fact that they are MLM. You can get CLA and whatever else you need anywhere. Good luck!

So with you on that. I was able to print off my food for the last week so I can take to the the dietician tomorrow! Thanks MFP!

I think I'm going to date myself here 1st was Platinum Blonde Last one was Billy Currington!

My favorite breakfast is a boiled egg, slice of toast and an orange..top with a glass of skim milk. Could be the carbs getting you sluggish..maybe try having fruit with it as well?

I have heard good things about MiO but what is it sweetened with?

You have to replace that boredom with something else. Even if its something as mild as playing with an elastic band. Replace the habit! I find drinking water and carrying it with me all the time helps!

HI Skip, Just started my journey big time. Welcome and feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like!

We have a great little girl who is a lab/retriever cross....She is my walking buddy when hubby isn't home. Glad to have her! How in the world do you guys post pictures? lol

Nothing says you can't make extra at supper and pack those cubbies when you are done. Who cares if you just have a little bit. Might as well use it up if you have it. Hummus is another great thing I love to have with some carrots or whatever your fav veggies are to eat! Good luck and do research the net..there are lots of…

Eat breakfast...thats a big one for me. But I try to stick under my alloted cals (according to me) but I don't stress if I go over one day cause usually I'm under! I'm a new diabetic so I am still owrking on rules...they seem to change daily lol

I was just going to say Queen! Well done!

All in all I'd get a blood test done again AND check for diabetes too. My blood sugar was so high and the figure thats why I'm so tired all the time. thick blood lol...get a blood test and make sure they test you for everything!

Please don't let them get to you hun. Like others have said its the parents not the kids. I have 3 boys and I tell ya they would never do something like that because I am not afraid to spank them if they did. Don't let that turn you off having children either. You are the parent and you will decide how to raise that child.…

Tattoo..always wanted one but wouldn't go till I felt better about how I looked in a tank top...wanna show it off!

Try this one too...it uses vanilla protein powder but I'm sure you could use the chocolate (after all they give the option of using cocoa powder). If you try them let me know. i'd really like to know how they turned out! Good Luck! http://www.oxygenmag.com/Community/Blogs/Oxygens-Staff-Blog/No-Bake-Protein-Bars.aspx
