Great job! You look so healthy!

Back away from the donuts...besides they were sneezed on!!! In addition, some gross guy handled them without washing his hands after leaving the toilet. Totally not worth getting de-railed...

I find weekdays easier. I have more temptations on the weekends. My husband is home and he is the King Saboteur. He thinks Saturday is synonymous with Pizza and subs. grr I finally had to ask him for a 12 week moratorium on pizza night.

I am LisaRn9 on ravelry.

I like to freeze a bottle of water and roll my feet on it to stretch them. I also do frequent hamstring stretches when walkiing and hang my feet off a curb to stretch from time to time. After a walk, i stretch for at least 20 minutes and include and stretch where i WRAP A band aroud my foot and pull it toward my head.…

Would it be possible for you to only have small amounts of food on hand? Just enough for a day? I would also consider therapy for compulsive eating. Hypnosis?

To be healthy!!!

My cousin lost 25 lbs rapidly this past summer using that plan....she gained it back just as rapidly. It is probably better to lose slowly and safely, nourishing your body and you'll have a better chance of keeping the weight off long term.

You can add me as well!

We can all give our personal opinions and anecdotal stories of the celebrities and people we know having babies in their forties but if you are truly concerned, ask a fertility doctor for the facts. The fact is fertility declines drastically after 30. We have less eggs and many eggs are in bad shape by the late 30's. Other…

Where are the moderators? Some people are displaying their personality disorders publicly and it ain't pretty! Give this guy a break.

I agree with you. I don't know why people have to be negative. It's not like you are making fun of the head shot phenomenon!! You are encouraging women to own up to their bodies. I got the impression that you were saying that this is a SAFE place to be true because you are here to support us. People need to chill the frack…

I eat a lot of veg meals. Love soups, bean wraps, homemade bean burgers (use mashed beans and vital wheat gluten, spices). I also love a tofu sandwich. Press out the moisture and saute slices in a little olive oil til browned. then add a flavoring...I love 1/2 tsp peanut butter, green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil mixture.…

You are so right! I wish I had taken some "before" bathing suit shots. They don't lie. I am already down a pants size, but I have a long journey so maybe I'll have my husband take some shots this weekend.

You are so right! I have have only lost half a pound in three weeks but I know I am getting leaner from my workouts and healthy eating. Thanks! I needed that reminder! BTW you are rocking your bikini!

Wow this is an incendiary topic! This subject has come up often in conversations with my female friends. Years ago, my friend Joyce was a gorgeous, curvy 150lbs and her husband told her he wasn't attracted to her anymore because of her weight. He had some nerve because he was sporting a mushy paunchy belly and was…

The best pick up line was said by George McFLy " Lorraine, you are my DENSITY!"

those are some great suggestions!!! I love MFP!

There are older posts on this issue. Basically canola oil (canada oil) is made from genetically altered rapeseed. Rapeseed (prior to being genetically altered) is poisonous and highly allergenic. My chiropractor cautions against it. I personally love olive oil.

Thank you for replying!! That helps!

Reduce duration of cardio? What kinds of exercise are best?

I bought arch supports in the grocery store and have religiously stretched. Rolling a frozen can of juice on my arches helps with pain too.

Wow...you have a tough time of it lately. Its great that you are going to make time for yourself to lose weight and be healthy.

My parents were on the Atkins diet and they took the weight off very rapidly BUT they could not sustain the weight loss and gained it all back. Incidentally, both of them had lab work done during the diet and their BUN and Creatinine were elevated. This is a strong indicator that their kidneys were not happy! Their doctor…

I want to be a healthy weight but still have meat on my bones.

My friend was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries after she reported a dramatic weight gain (belly fat), hair loss (on her head), and hair growth on her chin. She has lost four lbs since she started metformin and birth control pills.
