1- Not sure how funny this is. My husband took me to his work's fitness center which I had just joined. He was showing me around and we decided to do the elliptical machine. (I had asked if I needed to bring a water bottle, and he said no. why? I found out ...) As I was working out, I got super thirsty, and he tells me…

http://store.nugonutrition.com/products/45102.html I like this one. Avoid one with nuts because it will be very high in calories and fat.

Here are the muffins I told you about. I did not use the second cup of sugar it adds optional at the end. http://happyherbivore.com/2009/01/chocolate-zucchini-muffins/ Banana bread: http://www.banana-bread-recipe.com/recipes/honey-banana-bread-recipe/ I used ground flax seed in place of the margarine. I also used whole…

I think everyone is different. My MIL is on a no-carb diet. She eats tons of protein and claims she isn't hungry. When I try it, I waaaay over eat my calories, because I am starving all day. I have accepted the fact that I need higher carbs. One day I was famished all day, and as soon as I had some whole wheat bread and…

raspberries I made chocolate zucchini muffins two days ago and they only have 122 calories I think. (High carbs, maybe 26?) I froze them and popped one in the microwave today. YUM. red grapefruit edamame (dry roasted, lightly salted; wish I could find unsalted) Do you like sweets? Will nuts satisfy you? I go for carbs. I…

green apple (medium size) slightly green banana I like the corn thins (they look like rice cakes but are half the size) hot air pop corn green beans I also keep Nugo protein bars in my pocketbook for when I get the munchies. a baggie of baby carrots dry roasted edamame (1/4 cup or two teaspoons with 2 teaspoons of pumpkin…

my kids enjoy doing Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds. They attempt to do it, and get bored and wander off to play, and come back a few mins later and try again. OR, I do it at night after the kids are in bed.

http://www.waldenfarms.com/index.html Is that what you found? Read the nutritional information. First ingredient. Water. Then a bunch of chemicals. Do you really want to put that into your body?

There are two I can think of off hand. Water. Seltzer. Like those no fat foods that have tons of sugar to make up for the taste? Read the whole label very carefully. Look at the serving size. Not kidding ... one time I noticed the croutons said 14. (I am talking about the fried ones you put into soup, not big salad ones.…

Same here. I quit it in October and I haven't looked back. I wasted soooo much time sitting on my tush playing stupid farmville. Literally, my hip was hurting and it turns out it was inactivity. It gives me more time to exercise, clean my house, do other things IRL rather living a virtual life. Everyone I really want to…

I eat mine plain every day with 15 raspberries and a big huge dash of cinnamon in it. I use the raspberries as a natural sweetener.

Actually, that moon pie was all I could think of while I was doing the exercise. Bahaha! I am insane. I was going to quit after 20 mins, but I saw I didn't have enough to eat it. THAT is what kept me going the full half hour.

I put them in the freezer to try and stop eating them. I made them smaller than you were supposed to also. OK. Maybe I will have BOTH! (I mean the grapefruit AND the moon pie, because I still have over 400 calories to go.)

The sugar is super high in box mixes. I had this recipe with chocolate cake. I am trying to tweak a from scratch recipe that can be made like this with no fat, but it has no taste right now with no sweetener. Please look on the box for the dry mix to figure out the sugars and carbs, because I found them to be very high.

My neighbor eats a ton of potato chips, cheese, very fattening things that are not meat. I think it depends on what you eat for your protein.

eat a bowl of low calorie soup, which is filling. Drink a cup of tea before you eat. Or after. The idea is to trick your tummy into feeling full. I NEED carbs. I don't care what anyone says. When I go heavy on the protein I am still hungry. Last night I was starved after dinner. I waited an hour, had a bowl of plain…

ITA!!!! Go to a shop that only does bras, a specialty shop. If you live in NY, there is a great store in Manhattan that does fittings. I was wearing a 38d when I walked and came out with a 34DD. Also, splurge and buy the good bras. I only buy Wacoal. (Not for exercising.) They fit so much better, but you must try on every…

I've never been in your shoes, but IMHO, can you channel this fear and energy into exercise rather than food? The exercise will release endorphin's, which should calm you down and make you feel a little better. Do you have any workout videos that you can do? This must be so scary for you! Sending you hugs.

I am another SAHM. I have 7 kids, although right now only 3 are home. The youngest started kindergarten this year, so after so many years of having kids at home, this is the first time I have some ME time during the day.

I got a digital one at Walmart. I don't think I spent even $30 for it. It records the weight of two people and tracks it.

I've been baking non stop for like the last 4 weeks. I keep giving it away.

Both my husband and I were dx with that last year. DH took forever to get his levels acceptable, maybe 9 months or more? He still has to take a supplement daily. Mine went up to the normal range w/in 3 months, and I was told to take a supplement once a week or once a month; I can't remember which. It helps to walk outside…

Laughing. I am eating plain (no sugar added oatmeal) with raspberries and cinnamon (and some egg whites) cuz I just got back from the gym and and I AM STARVING!!! Listen. Your friends are dumb. They will drop the weight quick, and then put it right back on and probably some extra to go with it. I personally follow the…

OMG. Unbelievably rude!!!!!!!!

Is it at all possible to misunderstand someone? Last week I said, "I am a fat pig". My husband freaked out and said I have issues. What I *MEANT* was, "I ate like a fat pig". After I explained it to him, he calmed down. That said, unless a person is standing in front of you naked, you have no idea if they are fat or not. I…

artificial sweeteners makes your body crave sweets. I have cut back on my sweeteners I use. I use it only in my coffee and I am trying to do away with it completely. There are many studies that have been done on it. Good for you for continuing to lose. I didn't start losing weight until I cut out the diet dr pepper. (That…

I stopped drinking Diet DP months ago. First of all, I was drinking 1 liter a day! Second of all, when I was 15, I got 5 cavities at the back of my mouth on my molars. My dentist told me then it was all the tab I was drinking. (Yeah, I was fat when I was 15 and trying to lose weight then.) My daughter worked for a dentist.…

With seeds or without? I have been to half a dozen stores looking for raspberry preserves w/o seeds and no HFCS. I go specially for the chocolate chips, but I guess you don't want to hear that. LOL. It is for my family. They are the only store in town that has no dairy in them.

I love, love, love fried cabbage. I slice my onions super, duper thin. Paper thin. The onion is sliced in half so they come out in little strips like the cabbage. I saute them in a tiny bit of safflower oil until they turn brown. I add a bunch of thinly sliced up purple cabbage, and saute it for just a few minutes. I add a…

Here is a cool calculator I found. http://nutrition.about.com/library/blwatercalculator.htm Now they are recommending you take your weight, divide it in half, and drink that many ounces. I believe from this calculator it also matters if it is very hot or cold or if you exercise a lot. Anyway. I try to drink most of my…
