I am a registered dietitian. Not sure where your cousin is going to school but I eat eggs (whole eggs) like nobody's business and my cholesterol levels are awesome! For the record, not all dietitian's agree or have the same opinions about various topics. Your cousin will become more seasoned and learn even more when she…

In for the pineapple whip recipe! And I completely agree with this post....she sounds hungry and cranky! :)

Wanted to be an astronaut! My father was really excited about this because it was what HE wanted to do when he was a child..........then he told me I'd have to be good in math. *cricket cricket* I'm not talking college algebra or statistics, I'm talking calculus and physics. End of dream. I'm a registered dietitian in a…

I couldn't see your pics from my work computer yesterday and I just found the time to come back and look for them. WOW, Brian! Your story and your success are amazing and so inspirational! You've accomplished so much, not just weight loss. And you and Jackie look GREAT together! Keep up the great work and keep telling your…

I agree with Kanye, Kardashians, Tom Cruise, Miley Cyrus, and Angelina Jolie. For me you can add Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Bynes. I never watch anything with any of these actors/actresses in them, they just aren't my style. But they must be someone's style or they'd be unemployed, right? ;)

In 2007 I started dating a fella casually and had no intentions for anything to blossom from it. Six months later I realized my heart was getting into it and I got cold feet (due to a lot of failed relationships) and I told him I needed space. I told him to please not call me, text, or email me. I needed time to think. He…

What a sweet tribute to someone you loved so dearly. I'm glad you see the sunshine again. I feel quite certain she is watching over you and smiling. :)

I'll try that again since I'm too much of a dork to get it right the first time. I looooooove this idea! GREAT way to let her pick without it looking like you were trying to give them to her! :) **edited for typos...can't type today.

Oooooh THIS is a great idea! Love it!

Bump! I need to come back and read all this later today. Just the ones I saw on the first page are VERY inspirational! Way to go, everyone!

Yes, you can have a reaction to trace amounts. You can also have a reaction simply from cross-contamination which is very possible in places like Starbucks with employees who are not educated about allergic reactions to food and how to avoid cross-contamination (allergens can be left behind on surfaces, even when cleaned).…

Your story brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing....and for inspiring me! CONGRATS on all your success! You look amazing!

Alright....this seriously caused me to nearly spit my water all over my computer screen as I fought back the laughter that bubbled up inside of me. The nerve. ;)

I also have trouble with my feet getting numb so I'm going to some of the tips I've found here! Thanks! I started using the ellipital last summer following recovery from knee surgery. My physical therapist encouraged me to use it along with the incumbent bike to help stengthen the muscles that support knee movement. I was…

I'm with the general consensus, that you really must follow your heart! I didn't even begin University until I ended up a single mom at the age of 33 (the single mom bit happened when I was 32) and graduated when I was 38! I'm so glad I made all the sacrifices for all those years because I LOVE what I do! I say go for it!…

Thanks for sharing! Sounds great!

Since you admit you pull it back most of the time, I find the bangs more flattering. Not to say you don't look great both ways but I like the bangs the best. Be like Nike and JUST DO IT! :)

I have made many mistakes in my life and I wouldn't change them because they have molded me into the person I am today. HOWEVER, there is one thing I've said many times that I'd go back and change. My biological father and I lived close to one another when I was in my 20's and developed a great friendship. Years later we…

I'm so proud of you! Your hard work has really paid off. CONGRATS!

I'm from Louisiana. No, I don't know any swamp people. No, I never lived by the swamp. No, I don't have a pet alligator. No, I've never hunted an alligator. :P

Where are you in southwest Virginia? I'm in Norton!

I started the shred at a weight of 253 lbs. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep up. But there are modifications for some of the exercises and she says you can stop for 5 seconds and catch your breath if you need to. Which I needed to do many times. I was very sore for the first 3 - 4 days of level 1. I took a day…

You look fantastic! Keep up the great work and CONGRATS on your success so far! :)

I keep to my calorie goals and try to stick with nutrient dense foods, keep an eye on portion sizes, log my foods faithfully, plan my menu out two weeks in advance and plan my day out a day ahead of time, and exercise 6 - 7 days per week (walk for 45 minutes to an hour and the work out to various videos for 20 - 30 minutes…

They don't have to send off samples to get the caloric values. It can all be calculated by knowing the ingredients and amounts of used. They don't do it because their business will be successful without it. Until more of us get DEMANDING about wanting that nutritional info OR until it is put into law that they have to…

I'm back home now and had a chance to review your diary, now that you have it public. I think it was wise of you to increase your calories because expecting a consistent weight loss of 2lbs per week is not the best choice. You have to to work on being more in tune with your needs. If you have anxiety then that is a red…

Hang in there, Riley! I am in the same boat as you are, although I DID finally see a 1 pound loss for this week's weigh-in. Still, I'm scared to death I will get on the scale next time and that 1 pound will be back! I've been struggling back and forth with 2 lbs for about 7 weeks now. So I understand your frustration…

You don't look ANYTHING like Snooky! Just had to say that! :)

Ooooooh how I love you! THANKS! :)

Hey girl....here is a copy of something I posted yesterday in response to another topic about sugar. Hope it helps! The sugar in fruits is fructose which is a monosaccharide...the basic foundation of important carbohydrates. Fruits offer an abundance of essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants! They are…
