I helped my daughter make lavender eye pillows for the girls, super easy. Whatever type fabric, cut out, fill with rice and lavender and viola! For the men I used old flannel shirts and made hot packs. Sew together some fabric and fill with rice. If you google diy eye pillows you can find lots of instructions.

Adorable skirt. I like the cute t-shirt idea. I would go with a red t shirt and some gold jewelery.

IMO any woman that resorts to old boyfriends when she is pissed, real or not is vindictive and mean and untrustworthy. What is she gets pissed in the future over something that isn't what she thinks it is and goes overboard and actually meets her old ex. My opinion you deserve better and you deserve trust and…

The Wizards First Rule series by Terry Goodkind I believe there is 10 or so books in the series and he just started writing some more. It's really addicting once you get into that first book. Loved them all I hated to end the series.

Eharmony.com, it does work :). We met in August of 2004, engaged at Thanksgiving of 2004 and married January of 2005. We will be celebrating out 7 year anniversary this year. Best thing that ever happened to me.

I was talking to my doctor about it and he said he thought it was a bunch of crap as well. He was explaining that it doesn't take into the equation of a persons body type. I was concerned because the bmi was telling me I was obese and he said he would not put me at that level. He said I could use to lose some weight,…

what about a small candle with a gift card for a book store or kindle? I would get everyone the same thing, we women compare enough we don't need to compare gifts.

I still have my gallbladder, but I have had 4 lap procedures. You will be sore, more so the first couple days, use your pain pills. Then it will get better, pretty quickly. You will feel pretty bloated because they blow air into your belly area to have more room for the surgical tools so be prepared for that, wear comfy…

I agree with the need for counseling like a lot of others have suggested. I also would like to point out that I don't think it's hopeless. You said you woke up and he was cleaning and he only does that when he knows he's in trouble. If he didn't care about you or your feelings, he would do "stuff" to try and make up for…

Hello Red Team. I have been on MFP for a little over a month now. I knew I wanted to lose some weight and needed some motivation and support to get me started, so after looking at many sites I settled on MFP and I love it! I would like to lose 25 more lbs, I think. I'm not set on a certain number to see on the scale, but I…

I use Body Fortress also vanilla and chocolate, it's great just mixed in with 8oz of plain greek yogurt. I also blend it with greek yogurt, silk soy vanilla and some frozen berries for a delicious shake.

Good for you, very similar here. I got an app for my iphone that has almost all the fast food restaurants and has nutritional information listed for every menu item. It really disgusted me.

I agree I use Oikos (dannon) plain greek and for one cup it's only 9gm of carb (sugar 9) and 22 protein. Yogurt has been touted to be good for digestive health as well.

Add a teaspoon of honey, that really helped it for me. I don't like it plain at all. Also you could put granola with it, I think that would taste really good. There is a lot of granola recipes that are pretty easy to make at home as well. The only time I use it plain is if I am using it to substitute for sour cream which…

I do my exercise (usually) first thing in the morning after dropping off kid at school. I never eat before I work out, just not hungry yet. I haven't seen any side effects from it. I drink a lot of water though before, during and after. If you have problems try eating just half a banana or a big spoon of peanut butter.…

Same areas here! Arms, abs and shoulders whew. Tough boot camp last night, oh how it hurts so good.

I'm very interested in this as well. Also wondering how it compares to an elliptical.

I would call your doctor, that's not healthy at all. I have colitis and I know how the constipation side of it feels horrible. I would try some miralax and see if it helps but it can take up to 3 days to work. Is there a possibility that you are eating too much fiber? Someone else already said it but drink tons of water to…

I got braces when I was 30 years old, I hated having them on, but loved the finished product. You will get used to them quicker than you think. You learn what you need to do to avoid that food hanging from brackets lol. Tear up sandwiches into bite size pieces and try not to bite into anything, always small bites. Always…

It's great in a shake too. I use 8oz plain greek yogurt, 1/2 cup frozen blackberries, 1 cup of silk light soy vanilla and a scoop of protein powder. It is delish!! My daughter loves the honey flavor also, then it's not plain. Topped with some berries and granola.

Hello everyone! I'm so excited and a tiny bit scared ha ha, this is my first challenge. I want to lose around 25 (ish) pounds. My goal is to be out of the heavyweight region of the BMI scale, to be healthy, to not be in pain from health issues due to my weight and my biggest goal is to wear a 2 piece. My awesome husband…

I'm in!!

I would actually use some medical tape to tape a thin piece of gauze with some antibacterial gel onto the blisters. The tape seems to hold pretty well with sweat. Do you use wraps too? If not try using some wraps it might help too.

This!!! I love massages, manicure, pedicure, coupons for day off of cooking (and not this doesn't mean you just go out to eat or bring home fast food). Is she into fitness, Itunes gift cards for new music?

The best way is with a heart rate monitor, which I am assuming you don't have. If you put weight training in cardiovascular section it comes up with an estimate of what you are burning. Every person is so different with weights though, how much you weigh, how much you lift, how long you lift etc.

Going out to eat with family, which I think is their favorite past time. Plus I'm getting scared for Christmas we are going to be away at family's and that woman can cook, good Lord she has some great stuff. Moderation, moderation moderation then exercise exercise and exercise :)

First off I am a Jesus follower, 2nd I'm not gonna pounce on you so don't worry :). I think you need to politely say I just don't believe the same way you do but I appreciate your opinion, if you think it will help I'll leave the praying to you and leave it at that. If that person still harasses you, then take it to human…

Breakfast for dinner! Whole wheat pancakes, eggs and Boulder breakfast sausages. I forgot to lay out the chicken LOL!

Wholeheartedly agree!! Once she tries Teavana she won't go back to Lipton.
