only 8 more people needed to meet Tara's number!

liking it now :)

I have to admit when we lived in South Africa we tried these dried catepillars, my hubby liked them, I did not. Mostly b/c I found them too salty.

I have 4 red potatoes sitting on my counter and I was wondering what to do with them. Now I know! Thanks. It sounds amazing.

My kids LOVE this movie! Of course they are still preteens and this may be why.

O my! I may have to take a look, all that cheese. mmmmm....my kind of cooking!

Though I am trying to lose weight, I know there are some people on here trying to gain.

This has been me all week! It's been awful. Today was much better and hopefully I ma getting back on track. I found 100 calorie popcorn and it super filled me up tonight.

I use the pillsbury dough when I'm not using biscuits. It actually works out not too bad calorie wise, if you're careful what you put inside. I use homemade stock to make the gravy so that helps a lot.

If you are 10 days late, you can take a pregnancy test and it should be fairly accurate, especially if you have reg. cycles. All the different pregnancy tests should work for you by now. You only need a early detector if you haven't missed a cycle yet. Also it's hard to get a false positive b/c it has to detect the…

yup! I pee all the time. I go to a 2 hour Bible Study and I pee at least twice while I am there and immediately when I get home again. None of the old ladies have to, but there I am, the youngest one and I am going pee all the time!

I was so anemic this past summer that I was passing out. Then I added spinach in to my diet along with taking prescribed supplements. The liquid iron was only about $12/bottle. And the spinach I can buy a weeks worth for about $4-$6. That's less than a dollar a day. I say it's worth it. Maybe it's more expensive where you…

I was going to say rice milk also, as that is what my sister does, also what about almond milk? Can he have yoghurt? That makes things easier if he can. My sis can't have any milk/cheese (unless she takes lactaid) but she can have yoghurt.

Never had prune juice, but I LOVE prunes too! I buy the bags at Costco. Yum!

The 2 girls in my profile pic are my daughters: Ellie May -10 and Kenya Dawn-7 (on Valentine's) The 2 boys in my ticker are my sons: Khaya Gregory-8 and Ethan William-5 Khaya is pronounced Ky-yah, it means home.

I had a reduction when I was 17 and the doctor took off just over 5 pounds all together. I think it as 3 pounds and 2 1/2 pounds. I was a 36 ff I think and was reduced to a 36 c. It was wonderful. And even though I have since gained weight (4 pregnancies in 5 years!) I am still only a 38d (since losing weight). Hopefully,…

i went over, but only by 141! Not too bad.

I just posted a recipe for spinach smoothies in the recipes section. They are super yummy and quick to make!

oh me me me me! I crave salt so bad. I don't know of an alternative, I usually end up with popcorn. :P

haha I love it! I have lost a cinder black and a guinea pig and I'd like to do it again--twice!!

Ok so I also don't wear socks. Maybe I should invest in a pair! Thanks for the idea.

We only have 5 restaurants where I live--3 chinese/canadian local owned, 1 mom and pop shop, and 1 subway. Needless to say we dont' go out to eat much! If we want to go elsewhere it's over an hour away. It has been good for our family since moving here 18 months ago!

Also I don't know how natural these are, but if you have an M&M Meats they have delicious veggie burgers.

You can make your own black bean burgers. 1. Grind bread in blender to make bread crumbs 2. Toast in EVOO with whatever spices you want. (make sure you use lots as this has to spice the black beans too. 3. Drain beans and rinse well. 4. Mix beans and bread crumbs together (use your hands) 5. Shape into patties and fry in…

I confess that I did not eat supper tonight. Instead I ate the jujube bread (more like heavy cake!) that my 8 year old made, chips, and a little bit of chocolate. But I did log it all!

YUCKY!!! NASTY!!! Beets are good for nothing except dying things purple!

The problem with relying only on your appetite is that the less you eat (under recommended amounts) the less you will want to eat. To keep your appetite and metabolism regular you must feed it regularly. The other problem with not eating regularly is that then when you do go to eat you often binge b/c your body wants food.…

If you have lost 10 pounds in 5 weeks that is great. That is a fantastic speed at which to lose weight. You may find that your friends are not eating enough and when the "challenge" is over they gain weight back b/c they have not lost it the right way. Keep at what your doing! It's healthy

well, mine is G A Redds, which is Greg (my hubby) Amy and Redds is short for Reddekopp our last name which is just too long to write out.

I could just jump in our snow each day in my swim suit!! That would cold enough I am sure. Or perhaps I could just go outside fully clothed! It is so cold here--I haven't seen it helping me lose weight yet! Might be interesting to try though. And I like the idea of the squats and drinking grapefruit juice. Might be…
