i learned something recently, about communication. It is as much about the talking as the listening. My father and i have this really great, close relationship. I can actually talk about anything i want with him. He is my best friend, and i , his. We pride ourselves on knowing everything there is to know about one another.…

germ-- take it easy hun...first of all , you are doing fabulous. You have accomplished a major thing by loosing the 10lbs...that is awesome. Second, you have already made a couple of great choices, choosing the salad and the nuts. Try other raw veggies too. But, if i may...i think rather than turning to food to take care…

i am Diabetic. Diagnosed 16 yrs ago...now takeing insulin. Although with the little bit of weight i have lst i am noticing already that i use less insulin.

i have had a different experience... for years and years, and even now, i have used weight to "cover up" my insecurities. For some reason i grew to not have faith inmyself and my abilities. It is strange, i mean i am sucessful in the career i have chosen. I love my job even, not many people can say that. I have all that i…

gawd...i just got a power-full feeling reading your post, bigdane. awesome...that is the kind of attitude more of us need. i have to admit it was the comment of a couple of q-tips (skinny women) that got me here. i over heard then saying how some women just LET themselves get fat. i went over to them, po'd of course, and…

that is a real bummer...and i can understand you desire to keep doing something...good for you. i was going to suggest that weight training, even with soup cans, or 2lb dumbells would be a good thing. building up muscle in the next few weeks...the more muscle you have the higher you metabloism, and the more cals you burn…

I wanted, of all things a double cheeseburger from McD's. that isn't even, like real meat!!! There i was moping around the house. I called my sister, went to my dads, did a lot to try and…

i have to agree with you redalee... i love old cook books cause most of them use recipes where you actually cook from scratch...no cheating and using canned cream soup, lol Best of all is, i find things that my grandmother used to make when i was a child. not many people cook like that anymore. we get so caught up in the…

how do you do it... i try, quite hard to not take in sodium. I don't add any to my foods, and look at the labels. i eat a lot more fresh fruit and veggies, but i can't help but go way over in my sodium...:explode: i have fluid retention problems, although not as bad as before when i didn't watch my salt intake...but not…

that a girl....i was going to suggest..."step away from the computer" lol i have found that totally changing what i am doing, gets my mind off eating. Totally different environment gets the brain on a different track...good for you... bonus part is afterwards you can stand there and say "i did that" and i conquered my…

hi Petal yet another thing you can do...lol my hubby and i found out recently that sometimes you just have to go with what you really enjoy. We can all start eating rabbit food and ignoring our more basic desires, but that doesn't mean it will work. We researched...and it works for us. I looked up recipes, played around…

i belong to a weight loss group, in my town. Last meeting we did an informatioin session on the hidden salts in foods. i also switched my food diary settings to record my salt intake for the day...i go way over, and that is with trying not to have salt...it is really appaling. Unfortunatly the food manufacturers use soooo…

Sitching plates was a marvelous idea. I make myself remember, now...that just because it is a buffet doesn't mean they won't make a menu item.…

banks: kudos to you...you are doing awesome, keep it up kjlose: i would normally say " it's ok, just jump back on"...but i don't think it would work here, lol. You are doing your best.
