I am looking for input on the same issue myself. my sweet tooth is my worst enemy. I can be good all day, but once it gets to be mid afternoon the craving is overwhelming. Everyone says that if you can make it 72 hours without carbs/concentrated sugars than the cravings subside. I can't make it 24 hours without something…

My little girl was 7-9 months old when I had her ears pierced. It didn't phase her one bit. The woman that did it, suggested that I have it done at that time. She never even pulled at them and they never got infected. When she was about 2 years old she yanked one out so I removed both for awhile. One hole closed up so I…

Thanks, I will look into that site

I signed up for a fitness / strength training class that was held 3 days a week at 5:30am. Since I paid $200 for it, there was no way that I was going to miss it. Even more, the gym was a 30 minute commute so I had to get up that much earlier, but after time I enjoyed the drive there so I was wide awake when I hit the gym…

I have had days where people say i look like I have lost weight when I really haven't, maybe a couple pounds. It is usually due to what I am wearing that day. I tend to wear loose fitting clothes so I feel comfortable, but if I switch it up and wear something fitting I get those kinds of remarks. I think it is a difference…

I am a nurse myself and starting back to school again next week working towards my MSN. I am having trouble as it is finding the time to exercise, I don't know how I am going to fit it in.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try that.

As a nurse, I know that it is not necessary to have a BM daily some go as many as 3 days. The usual advice increase fluids & fiber. Gentle laxative would be the last resort.

What an inspirational story!
