I was a (ballet, tap, jazz, modern, clogging, charecter) dancer for over 20 years (taught for 5 and half) Just started taking belly dancing!

Be sure to be drinking plenty of water. Avoid foods that can cause constipation like dairy/cheese. Walking regularly keeps your regular :O) Also drinking coffee can help stimulate them. Massage your abdomen (with light to medium pressure NOT DEEP) in a clockwise manner, You first have to clear the colon before actually…

I tent camp a few times a year. I have two good coolers w/ lots of ice and bring fresh pre cut veggies and fruit. I pre measure salads (mostly the lettuce base) into tuperware containers then they serve as bowls to eat out of. I also make my own salad dressings. For protien, I get that from nuts, cheese, pre-boiled eggs,…

ok.. i'm really sleepy and realized I spelled patient incorrectly! SORRY

I work at a medical office too and people (paients) are ALWAYS bringing in goodies, just today my paient brought in cupcakes and she was like I know you are on a diet, but plz eat one anyways. I was polite and professional. BUT I didn't eat one. I just smelled them, lmao Good Luck!

Great post!! It's good when other people notice and have a positive response :O) I am happy for you and your continued success!

I have eaten salad EVERY DAY for at least one meal/day for a year. To make it excitng and varitety by adding fruit (apples, pears, marandian oranges, raisins, grapes, cranberries, pineapple), different veggies, (snow snap peas, peppers sweet red/yellow/green/orange, mini cucumbers, pickles, mushrooms, fresh broccoli or…

I'm out and proud as a witch/pagan. I was once part of a very large public group, however living near a militiary base, peeps are very transit. So there are LOTS of small private groups and I have many friends that walk the path, but for the most part i'm solitary :O) I do travel all over Eastern NC to attend PPD,…

Yes i do :O) I'm recording my thoughts and progress weekly on the blog.

Well done! Glad you are on path of health and well being! You look amazing, hope you feel the same way. Keep it up :O)

I'm 39 (single) mom of 4 kids looking to loose at least 40 pounds :O) Feel fee to add me!

AWESOME!

Just wanted to say I really like your post and point number 4 rang home with me. Thanks for adding your two cents! :O) Much Blessings to you and your success!!

I'm in support of the correction, it isn't ALWAYS implied that the non spoken words "by volume" exist. I work in the healthcare industry and educate people all the time on this EXACT CONCEPT. People rationalize alot to excuse themselves of bad behavior and I think by leaving the words "by volume" in silence is one of these…

I wish there was a 'LIKE' button. I think you've got something here and I encourage you to continue it! :O)

This is an AWESOME idea and I really like it. I hope you are successful in the work :O)

tee hee.. I giggled twice!!

I use crystals (white howlite, red jasper and amethyst) in a charm bag and carry it w/ me. I'm glad I spotted this thread. I had asked a similar question recently. Glad to see other combing magickal and mundane! ~Annie

OH! Also, for us ladies, if it's close to your cycle you can retain 5 or more pounds of "water", so ya know... drink more of it to flush ya out, but that could be why you've "gained" even though you are doing everything "rite" :o)

I didn't read all the replies, so sorry if someone has already mentioned this.. but... are you sure you are eating enough? If you eat too little, your throwing your body into starvation mode and therefore it will hold on to every single calorie you put in your mouth. Also, even if you under your caliore count, if it isn't…

I know exactly what I'm going to get when I'm doing magick and spell work hence I use it to improve my daily life. I am using the gifts given to me and combing my magickal life with my mundane life. I certain don't see it as forcing something that isn't meant to be. I am certainly meant to be well and healthy :O)

I hate (HATE) all artifical sweeteners. They do alot of damage to your body and MAKE YOU FAT! You are not doing yourself any favors by cheating in this manner. (Sad to say) The use of fake sugars/sweeteners should be banned like hazardous waste. If you need something sweet, go for REAL Sugar that has been naturally grown…

I'm 5 feet tall. In Oct 2010 I weighed 198 pounds and found the determination for change. I am "eating right for my blood type", mostly veggie/whole/raw foods. I got down to 171 before the holidays, then back up to 177 before turning to MFP to keep me in check and focused. My goal weight... 120 would be nice but I"m think…

My name is Annie, Pagan name Mercury Boon. I'm a single mom of four children. I work full time in the alternative healthcare industry.

Hi! I'm looking for some Carolina Gril support! :O) I've been on MFP for a few weeks, getting the hang of how it all works and looking for some commuinty! I live in the jacksonville area, if anyone is out my way. If not, HELLO cyber commuinty! :O)
