Wow, having your own fruit trees is great. I want to do that, but my hubby isn't all about that idea yet. Nor is he excited about chickens :D I have convinced him to let me have a raised garden, using the wood I salvaged from our pole barn that blew down next year. Unfortunately I haven't gotten it built yet and I'm too…

I've logged what I ate so far, and did a 20 minute walk/run workout!

I've lived in Ohio my whole life. I never noticed how 'gloomy' it is until one day about a year ago, my husband pointed out that it is cloudy most days! Now I notice it all the time! Anyway we used to live in Toledo, and there is an art museum there too. Also, during the summer, on Sunday afternoons, you could go to a free…

awesome!

commenting so I can find this post again!

I don't know about losing weight...but it definitely helps tone things up! And that was only doing about an hour long class once a week! If you really want to do yoga for weight loss, I'd thing maybe a power yoga...Jillian's extreme yoga or something like that. I have that one and it is hard!

I had my period stop once in college, went I cut fat drastically out of my diet. My doctor told me that fat is what carries the hormones and you need some in your diet! Course, I didn't really miss my period, but I like things to work like they should be working!

I watched it, it was not helpful. It wasn't 5 different food, it was 5 types of food and it was extremely long! Just someone else said, it was stuff like artificial sweetners, wheat or maybe soy products, stuff like that!

Just today I went grocery shopping with my mom. She constantly is telling me about what her friend makes and her friend uses this, etc etc. Her friend is extremely overweight, even more than me and I need to lose 80 lbs. I looked at my mom and said is your friend losing weight? Well, no, I'm just telling you what she does.…

My dad and aunt had bariatric surgery. My aunt looks good, my dad didn't keep losing and probably even gained some weight back. Did he really learn anything about eating healthy and portion control? No. Also I had a patient at a hospital that chose the surgical option, and her body couldn't absorb hardly any nutrition. She…

http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc Someone on here recommended this site to figure out calories from exercising! It calculates based on your weight and how long and has lots of different options to pick from!

You could always ask your doctor too, instead of the nutritionist. Or cut them out for a day or two and add one at a time, maybe 3 days in between adding a new one and see if that helps, or helps you identify which is bothering you the most

check out incrediblesmoothies.com They have lots of "green" smoothie recipes on there. I found this one and I like it very much 1 banana 1 cup blueberries (I'm using frozen because that's what I have available) 1/2 - 1 cup water 1 stalk celery (I only use 1/3 - 1/2 stalk because I don't really care for celery) 2 cups…

This sounds delicious, I think it will make it for my bday later this week!

You should speak to your doctor, and I am not a doctor....That being said, from what I remember in nursing school (btw I'm not an OB nurse either) you need 300 calories more than what your body needs usually when you are pregnant or breastfeeding! I was always hungry when I was breastfeeding my two girls. Try to eat a…

Is the Biggest Loser Yoga a power Yoga workout or a stretching type Yoga workout?

please share the chocolate bars recipe!

I tried making a green smoothie once (in an electric blender), but it was kind of chunky and I couldn't drink it. What recipes do you use for making green smoothies?

I like my Wii Fit. I got it at a garage sale! My hubby just showed me how to use it. Sure, you can cheat, but that wouldn't help you any and kind of defeats the purpose. The reasons I like it: The Mii people make me feel like I'm exercising with someone, not alone (and they are so smilely), so I'm more apt to do it. My…

I've had to finally tell my husband to stop "encouraging" me. I haven't lost anything yet, so I don't have a success story to tell. But, my husband is one of those people who is pretty fit, and can go from not doing anything to biking 10 miles, swimming a mile, running a mile, and biking back home in a day. I can not do…

I hear ya, My husband changed our answering machine message. It goes something like this now. "Because we are tired of getting political calls, we are not answering our phone. Please leave a message"

Those fruit and herb flavored drinks look good, thanks for sharing!

http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc - check out this website. It has "power yoga". I weigh 230lbs and did Jillian's Yoga Meltdown and it calculated it based on weight and length of time. I got 260 something calories for it! It has lots of other exercises on it too!
