full fat coke= regular coke not diet?

Hi Mplagge9940, I am newly diagnosed with RA and am so glad to see this on MFP! When the GP diagnosed me and referred me to my rheumatologist I was scared, and angry, and confused; I thought I would have to give up being a nurse and that I was doomed to be in a wheelchair.

Go for a walk and eat dinner.

I do Zumba 3-5 days a week and have lost 60 lbs in 2 years. Its not coming off as fast as I would like, but at least it is coming off.

Everything in moderation. a good place to start is myplate.gov

The only reason why you shouldn't eat bananas is if you are allergic to them, can't tolerate them, or don't like them. They are healthy when eaten in moderation and within the ADA guidelines of a serving size. The only foods that can be safely cut out of your diet are those high in refined sugar. Use the food pyramid as…

I have the same problem. I keep losing band size but the cup size hasn't budged. I started off as a 42DDD/E to 38DDD/E

You probably are just developing the muscle underneath.

When I don't have school and work to worry about I do. However, especially during the school semesters I may not always be able to pack food and have to eat on the fly. I just record what I actually eat. It also helps me, because I have a tendency to under eat when my stress level goes up.

Everyone has their preferences, no matter how shallow and stupid. I say F**K em. There are guys out there that really do not care about weight, or they prefer big women. :D

Cottage cheese! Oh my GOD that stuff is discussing. I used to eat it every now and then, but my ex used to eat one of those 16oz containers of the stuff in one sitting with salt and pepper. I can't even look at the stuff without gagging. I also despise ground beef, pork rinds, and liver. I make it a point to avoid eating…

join a gym and run on the treadmill. Either that or buy a treadmill.

I was 5'0 and I wore a girl's 14/16 and I was 13 years old

I go to counseling. Sometimes we can't do things on our own, which is why there are so many mental health counselors, psychiatrists, and group therapy sessions. Once you address the root of your problem, then the real healing can begin.

5'3" But with the right boots/shoes I'm 5'9"

Ooops! double post, sorry!

You may want to discuss with your doctor about being put on something else for PTSD treatment. According to the FDA only 2 drugs are approved for the treatment of PTSD and the group of drugs that offer the greatest benefit to those with the condition are the SSRI drugs ex: zoloft, paxil, and prozac. I'm taking Prozac now…

*sigh* I miss real pizza.

You're not the only one. I started off as a 42 DDD/E and am now down to a 38 DDD/E. Everything else is shrinking and the first place other than my face I lose is my stomach.

Avocados, Greek yogurt, Sunbutter (same Idea as peanut butter, but made with sunflower seeds), full fat salad dressings, full fat cheese, any of the Ezeikiel line of whole grain breads, whole eggs, protein powder......the list goes on. :)

I am able to complete medication rounds at work without getting winded or extremely tired. When I was 60 lbs heavier I had to stop and rest every 15-20 minutes because of hip, knee, ankle, and feet pain. I would tire out quickly and always would take over 2 hours to pass medications no matter how many patients I had. Now…

Women tend to have a stronger lower body than men do. good going on the 320lbs though.

No you're not alone. I went to the YMCA here in town and was able to keep up with a really difficult group fitness class. As soon as I was in my car, my husband looked at me and asked me what was wrong. I burst into tears. I was afraid the others were looking at me disgustedly because I was the only overweight girl in the…

Awesome! I had a similar experience when I went home after my first semester of college. Because I was in Army ROTC I lost almost all of my extra body fat. I went to a local restaurant with my family where one of the guys that made fun of me all the time worked as a waiter.He was one of those jocks that was in my English…

Strictly going by the BMI scale for 5'10": Normal 135-167lbs Overweight: 174-202lbs. I would just go where I felt most comfortable.
