Pregnancy releases you from practicing Lent. So a woman is forgiven then.. I'm sure you won't be struck by lightning. :noway: If you are really feeling guilty talk to your Priest or Paster. Be wel! :flowerforyou:

Thanks sounds yummy! I love Celestial Seasonings Chocolate Caramel Enchantment Chai Tea just with a packet of Splenda. It's gluten free but has caffeine. But it's a name I trust... been around for ever. :drinker:

Also check your blood pressure... Especially if a hard workout is causing a migrane. And don't forget your water! I keep a 2 quart pitcher in the fridge... two young boys at home and my head isn't on straight most days... Try to incorporate 2 snacks in with 3 meals a day.. Spread out your calories. Might help with the…

I am Hypothyroid also due to Papillary Thyroid Cancer. My was completely removed along with my Parathyroid.. I am on Synthroid. I can't take anything else because other brands make me feel off. It took me one year to get balanced and feel normal. Be patient it takes time for your body to adjust. Keep contact with your…

Grits or Farina are healthy and very filling. I add Splenda and cinnamon. I also eat egg beaters omelet with tons of veggies. Hard Boil egg with 1 piece of whole grain toast. Cereal and Milk never fill me up for long. You can also flip your lunch in place of your breakfast to change it up. Best of luck...:flowerforyou:

Hell Jeffrey... I prayed that the Ground Hog would see his shadow... Only to have more time to lose.. :wink: But I hate Winter!!! :noway: Gina

No.. :noway: . I didn't mean you wouldn't buy her anything... I swap your right now for my Mother-in-law just for asking us for advice... You're very thoughtful. :smile: I think my Mother-in-Law was jealous at that time... My husband and I built a brand new home a year after we got engaged. I was always taught to save and…

Thanks for answering.. I was inputting my calories... When I registered I went with my best girlfriend... we were getting married 2 wks apart and standing up in each other's wedding... Well we scanned almost everything in JcPenny's and Marshal Fields into our registry.. Some things we would never used... And people ended…

Great Job! And also sticking to the outer boarder of the store is the safest. I worked Retail Management for many years... Your basic needs Dairy, Meat and Veggies are on all the boarders... You just might have to run past a bakery.. So hold your nose! :laugh: So you don't smell the fresh bread! Reducing that receipt and…

Do they run narrow like most Nike's... I normally wear New Balance or Ryka's.. Thanks for info... I'll try a pair on. Have a great run! :flowerforyou:

I never got a bridal shower gift from my Mother-in-law. She never even responded to the invitation or the messages from my family. But I still respect and love her... The most cherished things I ever received from her after we were married was all my husbands school pictures from Kindergarten thru High School.. Thank God…

Thanks SHBoss and SB for all the information... You all are awesome! Great Pic from Jamaica! Salute! :drinker:

Go for a physical with complete bloodwork. To make sure it is Iron and your not deficient in any other area. Iron is also absorbed best thru your body when taken with orange juice. I am on iron pills and were given the dose from my Internist based on my blood test results. I was also low in iron during both of my…

Go and get all your Thyroid Functions done. I have very low blood pressure until I was 33 and found out I was Hypo-thyroid. I couldn't get out of a chair without stumbling/ dizzy. Couldn't turn my head while driving/ motion sickness. (I went thru 2 different Internists Doctors/ HMO insurance miss-diagnosed me and never…

Do the warm milk thing at night that is what I did. Squeeze in a cat nap. Also when you wake up at night, write down on paper what's on your mind.. And hopefully you can ease back into sleep. AND COVER THE CLOCK! That mentally keeps you up longer. Good luck! Be well! (*And as for the house... don't kill yourself cleaning..…

YOU GO GIRL! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: AWESOME JOB! :drinker:

My husband said the same thing about the brows :laugh: ... I said "Hell I take those brows if it came with the Bod!" :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: She's beautiful and she has come a long way being overweight before ...and now a famous fitness trainer. She's awesome! (I wish someone would open some kind of affortable weekend…

Portobello Mushroom burger! Yummy with tomato and low fat cheese. Or also try Zuchinni, yellow squash, red/yellow/orange peppers..lightly salted and brush your Foreman lightly with olive oil. Enjoy! I have a Foreman for about 5 yrs... love it. Easy clean up. Be well! :flowerforyou:

Thanks for all the info! :flowerforyou:

DITTO!!! But I dropped Prison Break and watch Life since last year. Great show! Check it out! Salute!:drinker:

There isn't a magic pill out there... Anyone can lose weight with healthy eating, portion control, water and exercise. Keep the chemicals out of your body and you'll be more healthy! Be well! :flowerforyou:

I've been on the pill now for 23 yrs. I never had a problem with weight gain because of it. (My weight problem is due to no Thyroid & synthetic hormones. I am Hypo (like Hippo), not Hyper...) Ask your OB there are pills out their known for weight gain... and some that studies show no weight gain. Good Luck!:flowerforyou:

Yes.. .gained 25 lbs being on Zoloft for 3 months. Weened myself off and got 2mg of Lunesta sleep aid, very low dose to help me sleep.. And I take lots of Vitamin C and at least 3000 IU of Vitamin D every day to fight depression and increase my immune system. I feel great! (I sitll have panic attacks/ my Twin is dealing…

Nope... Otherwise everyone would be following it! Healthy eating, portion control, no night eating, 7 hours of sleep a night , water and exercise. And we would all be healthy. :wink:

They freeze nice.... :wink: But I'm back on track after eating at Olive Garden this weekend and 3 Bloody Mary's later... 2 lb gain :noway: but got it off by this morning. :wink:
