I quit coffee every morning, but when I REALLY need a cup, this is what I do. I use the Fat free half and half by Land o Lakes with the French Vanilla Splenda. Not as good as the original, but pretty decent.

My weight on my license is my goal weight. It was my weight when I got my license....originally...when I was 16. :blushing: It's been years (and years) since I was that weight. I was within 5 pounds 7 years ago when I got married. I'm within 9 pounds now. I'll just leave it. I'm doubting I'll ever get BELOW that weight.

Don't know if you have an outlet mall near you, but underarmour outlet had their sportbras on sale for 9.99 the other day. They are very comfortable and supportive (they are racer-back). Plus they are made with the wicking fabric so you stay cooler. :smile:

While it's true that an infant gets a wealth of immune benefits from the colestrum, the milk holds immunity qualities also. But it is limited to the immune system of the mother. Like, if you, as a nursing mother get sick with say the flu...if you are nursing through this, you are passing along the anti-bodies that your…

I took the title "are you mom enough?" not to mean are you mom enough to breastfeed a toddler/older child or even breastfeed at all...but are you mom enough to parent your child the way you see fit, regardless of what others say or do. Whether it be to bottle feed, breast feed, use time outs, spank, use attachment…

I don't judge anyone on how they parent their children. Being a mom is hard work...whether you choose to bottle or breast feed or a combination of both. Just because one is right for my family doesn't make something else wrong for any other. We all have different circumstances and opinions. As for the rude looks and…

I have nothing constructive to add to this thread. Just wanted to say I also LOVE that song... "Paranoia, paranoia..everybody's coming to get me......... the agony and the irony...they're killing me!!" Gotta love Harvey Danger.

You have received incorrect information regarding the nutritional value. There is no magic age that breastmilk loses it's nutritional value. It would have the same nutritional value if an adult chose to drink it. The nutrients in the milk are different from woman to woman and may not be as high as that found in cow's milk,…

In most countries children are breastfed until they wean themselves...usually around ages 3-4. This is not unusual or even discussed in those countries....it is just way of life. In American, breasts are not seen as life-giving, nutrient providers...they are seen as sexual objects. I don't fault you for your opinion. You…

bump...thanks!

I vote move on...Level 3 is much better in my opinion. Even if you have to modify at first, I would move on so you don't get bored. Good luck!

Clearly I missed the rant this morning...I read this whole post...beginning...an apology, middle...an apology...all in between, people still yelling at OP. To sum it up: Bad girl for ranting, good girl for realizing your mistake and being big enough to apologize. Let's all have a great day from here forward. :bigsmile:

Aww..now I'm sad. I had my body fat measured by Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA)--the handheld one--at the health fair at work today...it was 25.8%, which is great for me, b/c based on the military bf calculator I am still around 28%. I was so excited, but to find out it's not really accurate bums me out a little :cry:

I guess daycare ruined my kids then. They get things provided to them there, which even though state guidelines are followed, are not the healthiest. When these same kids come home and refuse to eat what I provide them, still not the healthiest, but I'm trying to do better than fast food, am I to send them to bed without…

22 lbs in less than 4 months and I almost always go over on my daily carb goal. I love bread, pasta and most things carb! I do eat some whole wheat bread/pastas now but it's not because I think they are better for you, it's because I like the way they taste. Low/No carb is great for some people, I'm just not one of them!…

I agree with the rest day or a very light workout if you have re-hydrated yourself well. I'm not sure what kind of workouts you normally do, but I have an idea for you for the time you would have been working out. If you use any workout videos, you could watch the tutorials. You will be in a "workout" frame of mind (though…

I get what you are saying. The reason I chose the TDEE method vs MFP is that with this method my exercise calories are spread out over the week (because it is an average that TDEE uses). So, I get to enjoy a manageable amount of calories everyday, while only working out 3-5 days/week. This works better for my lifestyle. I…

One theory of using TDEE is to eat 15-20% less than TDEE to safely lose weight. That would mean eating between 1788-1899 calories/day for you, depending on how quickly you want to lose. If you choose this route, then you would eat this same amount of calories/day regardless of what exercise you do (since you have already…

Congrats on taking the time to find out what works for you and congrats on your weight loss! Great job!

I don't understand why you would not lose in your second example...if you TDEE is really 2500 and you are getting 1800...that is a 700 calorie deficit per day and really should result in weight loss...not sure why it wouldn't???

Well I enjoyed our chat...I'm pretty sure I burned several calories just trying to figure out what the heck you were trying to say...so thank you. Enjoy your happy hour...you've earned it! :tongue:

It just doesn't seem to make sense what you are saying...yes, if you were in a coma and you were getting more than your BMR in a feeding tube you would gain weight...but it has no real life application. Everyone on these boards are using more than their BMR calories because they are awake and typing...so I guess I just…

Agreed...BMR is not have many calories you burn in a day w/out any exercise, it is how many you burn if you are not functioning at all (like someone else said...in a coma). If you get out of bed you have already used more calories than your BMR. Eating between BMR and TDEE will allow you to lose weight.

Level 3 Day 2 30DS...whoa! I was still sore from the day before. And this morning...I can barely move. That is no joke, and I am modifying some of the moves (like the traveling push-ups and the row/leg lifts I'm doing on my knees). Ouch...not sure if I will be able to manage that tonight. Might have to switch over to Fast…

Sounds like you are not ready for this to be over (I know it's sad...my daughter is my last also) so hopefully it was a fluke and you can extend this wonderful experience a little longer. Best wishes! :happy:

I give her a cup of milk in the morning. She eats breakfast at daycare. I get her up about 7:15 and we are at daycare by 7:40, but she is definitely hungry when we get there. It makes dropping her off easier because she sits down and starts eating right away! My daughter has been drinking a lot more whole milk over the…

5'10" 158lbs, started on MFP at 180, lost 10 lbs eating 1200 calories/day. Hated it...always hungry and basically I just got burned out--I also got very sick--bronchitis, which I attribute to not eating enough to keep my immune system strong. After that I upped my calories...I eat between 1670-1800/day and I have lost 12…

My daughter stopped wanting to nurse as often after I started exercising. I chalked it up to her being interested in other things..she is 16 months old and was still nursing at night and in the morning, but I initiated the morning feed, not her. I discovered in her case that she was associating the boppy pillow with…

I'm 5'10", 158lbs. I eat between 1650-1800 cals per day. The first 10 pounds of my weight loss was on 1200 calories and I got burned out...the next 12lbs were eating above 1650 cals everyday. I just moved up to 1800 last week, but I haven't gained anything so that's a good thing!
