I use it in my meatloaf instead of rice

Hahahaha! I remember riding my bicycle and singing this song to myself. Every once and awhile it pops into my head. Somehow I've managed NOT to hear the Call me Maybe song and I'm fine with that. "Making love out of nothing at all" by Air Supply is probably the top song that I am embarrassed about. I was a kid when it came…

5' 4" 158 lbs 36 in. waist 40 in. hips

When I was a kid I always heard I looked like Bette Midler or Barbara Steisand (I have a big nose and my lips were bigger) Then, as an adult, people would say Tori Amos.

I'm doing Leslie Sansone's Walk Fit. You walk two miles, but stop at intervals for strength training using the resistance band. She has many other videos as well where you can walk up to 5 miles. This is always my go-to video when my knees start hurting from other work-outs. It exercises them without overly straining them.…

I bought an apple slicer and my family is eating more apples now. I like to eat the 100 cal yogurt and add some fresh blueberries (it really helps my sweets craving). Crunchy veggies like carrots and celery make me feel fuller faster. At my grocery store, they offer pre-cut and peeled veggies, which takes some time off of…

I LOVE these too!!! It's what I grab when I'm having my chocolate cravings, also. :)

The one I'm currently using is by Danskin..it wasn't very expensive at all. It has cups instead of the big uni-boob type. I'm not running in it but with jumping jacks, and jumping rope, the girls stay secure. I'm so glad I bought it and days when it's in the laundry, I notice a difference with my other bras.

The first thing I thought was that maybe you are replacing fat with muscle. I also wondered if you were taking any medications because you had mentioned an illness. Some meds can hinder your weight-loss. The only thing I can say is keep at it. My weight was very slow to drop at first and it was discouraging for me when my…

LMAO!!!! Gonna order one for my guy now....

Thanks! Sounds yummy...putting it in my recipe book now!

You DO look Amazing! Kudos to you for realizing that the number on the scale isn't what it's all about. I was disappointed the first few months I started and the numbers weren't going down like I thought they would. Meanwhile, my boyfriend was losing 2-3 pounds every week. I finally realized that my body had changed when…

Congrats and Good Luck!!! I know exactly what you mean when you say your whole identity is tied into your smoking. It is totally a mental thing you have to get over once the nicotine has left your body.

Everyone is right about the walking! With my 3rd pregnancy, I walked at least 30 mins every day. It made such a difference in the delivery room! With my morning sickness, I ate a plain ole dill pickle and it would help. I can't give you much advice about what to eat, since I was on a diabetic diet..but maybe watching the…

Honey, I don't care if it's male or female..if somebody notices all the hard work you've been doing, it's a WIN!!!

vitamin deficiency maybe?

I haven't been drinking much because I'm trying to quit smoking too...the two just go hand-in-hand for me. We did try, however, Miller Genuine Draft Light 64 cal beer this weekend. My guy picked up the Lemonade flavor and it wasn't awful. I think I would prefer the original flavor and just stick a lime in the bottle or…

I watched it! She's had the gears in my brain turning for a while now, trying to figure out my purpose. I always get kinda teary when she does, just like when my momma does. So I hate that the show is over, but I have access to her network OWN and watch it pretty regularly.

Jello-o sugar-free pudding Snacks!! only 60 cals and come in awesome flavors like Boston Cream Pie, Chocolate-Vanilla Swirl, Double Chocolate and there's one with Caramel my guy really likes.

You really do need to see a doctor and/or therapist. Some communities have health clinics and mental health clinics that base your payments on a sliding scale according to your income (if money is the reason why you aren't going already) . It sounds like you have anorexia and it is something very hard to conquer on your…

I was on Effexor for about a year and gained at least 30lbs. It was my highest weight I have ever been. In fact, I weighed more while I was on Effexor than any of my pregnancies. I do have to say that I was NOT exercising at the time, nor watching what I ate. That of course, helped the weight-gain along. The Doc assured me…
