He looks mostly like boston, but definitely has frenchie features. Although his ears don't stand up (which is uncommon in both bostons & frenchies) they are shaped like frenchie ears. He also is a lot stockier,has shorter legs, and has the brindle color of a lot of french bulldogs. I'm a proud momma and can't just pick one…

The type of food your dog eats definitely effects how bad their gas is. Bostons are known for their gas, and I have noticed that some foods make it much worse than others. Currently my pups are on Merrick and their gas is almost non-existent. Also, plain yogurt added to their food can help.

I have two Bostons and a Boston/french bulldog! They are the BEST dogs ever! They love to snuggle, show a lot of emotion, and are very entertaining! They are definitely people dogs, so I wouldn't recommend getting one if you aren't home a lot or don't have much time to spend with your dog.

I finally found some Greek yogurt that I'm always hearing about and decided to give it a try. I got Oikos vanilla (it was all I could find) and I did not like it at all!!! It was tart and bland, and basically tasted like I was eating a spoonful of sour cream. Is this how it is supposed to taste??

I just made this recipe and was going to post it, but it looks like you already have :) THIS IS AWESOME!!! I could eat this every night! I definitely wouldn't leave out the onions either, because it gives the salsa a good flavor... just make sure to dice it real fine.

I get them at Walmart and find them either in the chip/beef jerky isle or the cracker isle.

Too much fiber would give you the opposite effect. Some of the things that I know can cause constipation are: not enough fiber in the diet, lack of physical activity, medications, milk, and dehydration.

I had the BEST lunch today! I took 2 cups of raw spinach, sliced an orange bell pepper, cut up a roma tomato, and topped it with a 4 oz Salmon filet (I buy seasoned prepackaged ones that you just pop in the oven) and some low-fat italian dressing. YUM!!

These are the BEST!!!! My husband loved them so much that he went to the store the next morning and bought 2 more packages to make (and he's not a veggie person)!!!

About a week after I started I took measurements of my waist and thighs, but nothing else. After a month I remeasured and had lost about an inch off each, and also took measurements of my arms, calves, hips, bust. That was 03/17 I believe, so I want to wait another week to remeasure (I'm trying to limit myself to once a…

LOL, I feel that way! My scale is agreeing with what's in my head though :)

On average my calorie intake is about 1200 + some or all of exercise calories. I have been doing the couch 2 5k program (running intervals) 3x/day week for 25 minutes followed by 35 minutes of brisk walking. Also 1 day a week I do 45 min of full body strength training, and a couple days a week I do push-ups and 7 min abs.

Last night I was letting my three dogs out, when one yanked so hard my ankle rolled and I did a superman into the pavement. I'm all scratched up and my ankle is swollen and hurts pretty bad. What can I do for exercise, and does anyone know how long it will take for my ankle to heal?? I have been working so hard on the…

To date I have lost 18 lbs. The first 10 lbs came off in the first 2 weeks, and then the rest over the past 5 weeks. How is it possible that my clothes still don't seem to be any looser??

My favorite is: "Don't cling to comfort and everything will be comfortable" That has helped me overcome SO MANY things, from moving across the country by myself to completing a difficult research paper. It helps me put things into the perspective that everything I find easy now, wasn't always easy. It is never easy for a…

I recommend going to a running specialty store. I finally went to one on Friday, and the experience was AWESOME. I told them what I was looking for, what problems I had, etc. and they watched me walk a couple yards, then jog a couple yards. They measured the length and width of my feet and then came back with 2 pairs of…

My new addiction is all natural unsalted almond butter. It's a little weird at first b/c there is no salt or sugar, but it is soooooooooooooo good! What's even better is adding a little bit of honey and eating it on a banana or an apple!!!
-
That is so awesome!!! I can't wait until I reach that point! Yesterday I ran three minutes straight and was proud :laugh:
-
Wow. I am sorry about your husband, but am glad that he's ok! That is awesome that you haven't smoked despite all of this! The hardest thing about quitting is dealing with stressful situations and not reaching for that cigarette to help you through it.
-
I have this one and it's great. It's a little pricey, but it does more than the average digital scale. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013IDHTO There are 206 reviews on it as well. I watched a video of how it works ( I think from their website directly) and that is what sold me.

That's the only way I'll drink it. I LOVE unsweetened iced tea (green or black), though sometimes I will add a little sugar. I don't know why but I cannot get myself to drink hot tea... I also only order iced drinks from coffee shops..
-
That is awesome!!!! GOOD FOR YOU!! I'm on day 21, and to be honest if I wasn't too embarrassed to go to the store from my bawling my eyes out for hours I would have relapsed tonight. I HIGHLY recommend you make a goal of doing something that you would not be able to do if you continued smoking. I think I mentioned this…

Mine is called "Podcasts for Running" by Robert Ullrey
-
I'm not sure what you mean. The podcast is actually what you will listen to during your run/walk. The one I plays techno-ish music and then a guy comes on an tells you when to run, when to stop, etc. I have heard that on the iphone you can download an APP for Couch 2 5k in which you can listen to your own playlist, and it…

That's awesome! I start week 3 tomorrow! I actually had to repeat week one twice, because after 8 years of smoking and never running, it was EXTREMELY hard. I have seen a major improvement in my lung capacity in the past few weeks! Batc - you can find the program here: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml…

I have started to enjoy exercise more and more over the past few months. You just have to find something that you somewhat enjoy, force yourself to get moving, and eventually it won't be so bad! I found that is especially important to work out on the days that you want to the least. When I do, about 15 minutes into the…

Morning Star Spicy Blackbean Burgers are AWESOME! My hubby loves them too!

Like I said, I definitely agree that 400 calories is extremely low, but it is not unheard of. Though I do think that 800 calories is more commonly used. Severely obese is classified as anyone with a BMI of 35 or more, so someone who is 200 lbs and 5'2 or shorter would definitely fall in that category. When doctors…
