A family of 2 is not getting $700 unless maybe California has super high guidelines like that. I was a single, non-working (homeless) mother at one point and time. I had three kids and never received over $500 for my family of 4. I was thankful for every penny I got but I'm sick of people making outrageous claims like this…

Junk food is cheaper but in the long run it costs us less to eat healthy foods. http://slapdashmom.com/make-food-stamps-last-longer/

Welcome! :) I'm a pescetarian. Good luck with your journey!

I'm sorry that you're so frustrated. I know it's difficult. My thing is, walking is always doable. Pop in a "walk away the pounds" DVD and you can crank out 5 miles. All at once or over the course of the day. You don't need to be outside to get a workout. You can drive 40 minutes round trip a few times a week.. or even…

You're doing great!!!

You look amazing! Great job!!

I think this "meat" mentality is what gets so many of us fat in the first place. We don't need meat at every meal or even every day.

900 calories for a meal is not normal, by any means. I mean, normal as in America is obese normal... Anyway, eat less, and more often. So for breakfast, eat 300 calories. Then, eat a snack like a hard boiled egg. Lunch can be about 400 calories, depending on how many calories you're allowed to have for the day. If you're…

What are you doing to lose weight right now? How many calorie are you eating each day, and how often are you working out? What types of workouts do you do?

I've found that even when eating 1800-1900 calories, I'm hungry. So I've had to go to bed hungry sometimes, and just deal with the hunger feeling in my stomach. I get those bags of broccoli that you can steam in the microwave, and I eat 2 cups of broccoli if I'm REALLY hungry. I just add a little garlic or something so…

I live in the city of St. Louis and while I do see women alone (jogging/walking) from time to time, I'd never do it. I just go to the gym instead.

Congratulations!!!!

I'm 6'2", help me find the tall girls thread! lol

That's awesome, congratulations on making that decision! I have found that MOST foods (while eating out) aren't worth the calories for me anymore. :( I still enjoy udon noodles from Noodles & Co, and I still drink my mochas from McDonald's, but I always stay within my calories and it feels SO GOOD!!

Are you keeping your sodium in check? When I lowered my sodium to 1500, the weight started to come off.

How is everyone doing with Shaklee Cinch?
