Fresh juice. My juicer was the best appliance I ever bought. Dark leafy greens have more calcium than milk with far fewer calories, plus loads of vitamins and minerals. Some combinations I like: beet (with tops)/carrot/orange lemon/apple/cucumber/kale/dark cherry tomato/carrot/celery/kale/basil/sweet potato Fresh juice has…

Pizza is a big downfall for me as well, here is a healthier version I like that satisfies my craving. The veggie mixture makes multiple servings, so it's great to make and keep in the fridge - then when your roommate orders pizza, just bake your own. Pita Pizzas whole wheat pitas extra virgin olive oil 2-3 roma tomatoes,…

Summer sausage... make fettuccine and marinara sauce with pepperoni,black olives, and green onions, topped with full fat mozzarella... peanut butter milk shakes made with full fat milk and whey protein powder... broiled chicken sandwiches with swiss cheese and avocado slices... marinate chicken in teriyaki sauce overnight,…

I would like this info also! I tried to use the tool yesterday and it was really daunting, so I stopped.

Kristiellyn13, you may also be sodium sensitive. If I eat more than 800 mg of sodium/day I swell up.

Try having fresh avocado slices and some walnuts or almonds. It will put healthy fats/carbs into your system.

Such a cute pic! You're both adorable!

Inspiring pic! Time to get up and go!

Google what words NOT to put on a resume. Try to stay positive! It takes awhile to find a new job, and nursing is a challenging field. Have you applied for nursing jobs outside your comfort zone/current living area? Some cities and states have larger shortages than others. Also, I know it is difficult not to compare…

Kudos to you!!!!!!!!!

Don't overload on the salt! Be sure you have removed the neck, heart, lungs, etc from the center. I recommend smoked paprika, sea salt, 3 cloves fresh garlic, basil, and pepper. Place 1 peeled onion,2 stalks of celery and 2 carrots in the pot with the chicken, add 1 c. water or white wine, cover and cook on low 10 - 12…

Thanks :) I'm only familiar with Omega 3's - I eat salmon and flax and chia seeds. What foods contain Omega 6 and Omega 9?

What are EFAs?

Try a fresh juice cleanse. You need a good juicer, lots of fresh produce, some white tea, and a few great juicing recipes. This is a good resource http://juiceladyinfo.com/

I want to know why every shirt or dress I try on seems to be made for women with DD or EE breasts - not all plus sized women have large breasts! It's bad enough my boobs didn't swel right along with my hips and waist, but do manufacturer's really have to rub my nose in it? C'mon!

Wow, you are beautiful! Congratulations on such an amazing success!

I was diagnosed 3 years ago and my weight has really yo-yo'd until the past year - I gained 60 lbs AFTER giving birth and it has stuck. I am set to have blood drawn again this week, but my doc has said repeatedly that I MUST exercise no matter how healthy I am eating. I personally find I need to limit sodium and steer…

Hi! I just joined last night! Welcome to you, and good luck! I hope we can get to know each other :)

Every year I take a raw peach pie for my cousin who is diabetic and she has to fight people to keep them away! I know it sounds a little strange, but it has an amazing bright flavor and has become my go-to dessert when I'm having a bad sweet tooth. Raw Peach Pie Crust: 1 C. pecans 1/4 - 1/3 C. dates 1/2 tsp cinnamon In…
