  • Agreed! I try to avoid bread (because I'm hopelessly addicted to massive amounts of carbs) but I got so sick of shelling out big bucks for high quality bread that I started baking my own. I can control what I put into the dough and I don't have to worry about preservatives. At first it was a pain in the butt, but once I…

  • Welcome! My husband had a gastric sleeve done in August of 2011, and he's lost around 125 pounds so far. He's got about 30 left to go before he meets his goal, but the last of it is slow going. He's done really well, but on the days where he's busy and isn't paying attention to eating regularly, he does have issues with…

  • I'm a full time nurse case manager and am on the road 5 days a week, plus I have the family to take care of at home and a myriad of animals. I understand! At one point I became so obsessed with the number on the scale and so bombarded with day to day things that I quit. I now understand that I can't have a scale in the…

  • I must've heard the call of the mothership!!!!! I'm a big nerd as well and play WoW and Star Wars, although my husband also loves Starcraft and Aion (I just couldn't get into it.). I've got two teenage girls as well, and we've all participated in family night guild raids! I also love fantasy literature, and my husband…

  • I just got back on the wagon, but I'll offer this tip! I break my meals up into 6 small instead of 3 large and 2 snacks, and I spread them out approximately every 3-4 hours including a protein and a carbohydrate. The result is that I'm never hungry. I'll pair things like an apple and a wedge of cheddar cheese, yogurt with…
