I would love it if anyone wants to add me. I am a single mom with 8 kids at home. I am just trying to focus on 5 lbs a month . I need to lose anywhere between 60 and 90 overall but Im trying to make a permanent change so I want to go slow and steady. I didn't gain it all in one month and I don't want to lose it all in one…

If you decide to take iron supplement, the only brand I've ever found that doesn't cause nasties like constipation, gas, diarrhea, bloating, and even more gas, is Proferrin. It is made from dessicated bovine hemoglobin so it absorbs really really well .The package says to take 3 a day, but I have found that 1 a day works…

My last name is Rowsell, pronounced like arousal without the first a. We often get Roswell, like the town in New Mexico where the aliens supposedly are.

Perhaps I should have been more clear. I meant in terms of nutrition, expense, results, etc.

Just dance doesn't need the mat. Dance dance revolution uses the mat. They are both fun, but I found Just Dance really cheap at Wal-mart . DDR is more expensive because of the mat requirement.

We drove across Canada ( we were moving) with my father. And, we were very broke, so we all three shared a motel room every night. Worst honeymoon ever.

My ex husband, now, taught our daughter to call me " Mommy Cow" . She was only 1 at the time so she didn't know any better. After we divorced, he discovered that he actually prefers obese women and everyone he has dated since I left him has actually been far larger than I am. A neighbor once asked if I was pregnant. I…

Unless you send a note to your gut to not digest the calories and fats, it will. Plus, unless your gut is smarter than mine, it can't read the note anyway. If you consume the calories, you have to count them.

I am a 41 year old grandmother of 3 and mother of 7. I would love to have more friends that don't need their noses wiped. I log in every day for the past 6 weeks and usually manage to log my food.

Thank you. My son is 15 and has been vegetarian for 4 years, he convinced 2 of my younger kids and me to go vegetarian a few months ago. We have 11 people in our family so making yummy meals that the other 7 don't notice are meat free is a priority. Your recipe suggestions look delicious.

meat- anchovies, but only 'cause I need caesar salad. fruit-none really, I like them all, but I like veggies better vegetable-carrots, they are so sweet and crunchy and cheap. Cheap is important.

I want to try that recipe.

I found a really great site that helps me with similar issues. http://theprudenthomemaker.com/default.aspx

Usually, no calcium means no dairy and no supplements. But, ask your doctor , or the pharmacist to clarify.

If you are building muscle , you need more protein anyway. If you went crazy and started eating a whole container of protein powder everyday, you could hurt your kidneys, but just a little extra protein from your food will help you build muscle.

Wonderful post. Thank you for writing it.

Hard boiled eggs really help me feel full enough to resist temptations. Lots of protein.

It also depends on what kind of results you are looking for. I need to lose 80 lbs , so I work out 7 days a week. You don't need to lose any and are looking for definition, 3 days a week makes sense.

Unless your intestines are on the outside, no.

Sounds like just what I need. Please invite me. Thank you.

I just started a week ago. I lost 2 pounds. The next day, my 9 year old says, " why are you exercising? I thought you were finished losing weight." lol at 224 pounds, he thinks I'm done.

I don't , as yet, own a scale. I weigh myself at a mall, but it is an hour and a half away by bus. I will be happy to join in Sunday weigh ins once I can afford a scale.

Make sure you are getting enough calcium and magnesium.

Lots of fruit and veggies. eggs yogurt

It is much more important not to talk/think negatively about yourself. So, you ate something you shouldn't have. Figure out the calories and add in enough extra cardio over the next couple of days to compensate. No one is perfect. And no one would like you if you were.

He's your son, not your mother's. You decide if you want to tell him or not. I just waited with all my kids 'til they figured it out themselves. Once they did, they got to help wrap presents and "play Santa for those less fortunate. I also have a couple of special children that I am raising and, while it took longer, it…
