Barbie, life in the dream house..........my grand child picked. I love her....obviously, as I wanted to poke out my mind's eye. Looking so forward to your recap on this one. Gotcha!

John, you are right on. I spent ten days locked in a unit for depressed, suicidal individuals. I learned so much in that week and a half. This is what I learned. There are a load of folks worse off than me. When your clinician tells you that you need to socialize with the others, translated, sit around and watch Opra with…

Strongly agree!!! With Jason.

Also, a little WW trick is this. Add up all your point allowed for a week(not bonus points) let's say you are allowed 24 daily X 7 is 168. Instead of eating 24 daily, eat 30 on Monday...on Tuesday, take those extra 6 off and eat only 18. Sounds hard, but on Wednesday, eat 26, Thursday 22...and so on to fluctuate. As long…

You are doing very well! Measure and you will be surprised.

I have 6 children and 5 grandchildren. I guess they have always known that acting poorly means a babysitter next time, so they didn't and don't. It helps to have a talk in the car before heading into the place. Also, you are out for the evening, leave your phone in your purse if with good company.

When a child throws macaroni and cheese in your hair and his mother is checking her pinterest.:huh:

Knowing that the oil in the tall blue bottle, mixed with sundried tomatoes and such for dipping my bread in is really not olive oil as claimed makes me cranky. It is God's way of telling me that bread should not be a choice for me anywhooo, nor the fancy, not so fancy oil. Note taken Sir.

It must be the way some treat you when you order water. I only drink water and tip well. Still, I have had a waitress or two who are all grins and giggles over telling me about the special, then I order water and the person waiting on me just switched to an alternate personality. Not right....not at all. Oh, and children…

I threw mine out. I so obsessed with it and it slowed me down, probably the added stress created by keeping constant score. It was a freeing thing for me. I really am seeing better results simply by showing up and doing my workouts everyday. I also notice that letting my body tell me when to push harder and higher is…

You look great sweetie! Keep up the good work and never be nervous about sharing where you've come from. Rowni:flowerforyou:

5"4 1/2" tall, heaviest was 230 CW is 183, first goal is 150....wearing a size 12 at 183....have been 157 and wearing a 9/10. Just don't want to have jiggley parts. Everyone s different.

I hoop 20-60 minutes a day. I love it. I always sweat and my core is becoming very defined though I still weigh 184. Hooping works and is not a high intensity cardio workout. Core toning is imparative to fat loss and I would recommend it to everyone. It also tones the low back to support back pain sufferers. If you have a…

THANK YOU AND AMEN TO THIS!!!!!!!

Put bits of fruit into your drinking water. I buy fresh spinach and throw the whole bag into the freezer as soon as I get home. After frozen, take out and break it up into small pieces. I put handfuls into pasta sauce or smoothies. You will not even taste it....really. I also eat cellery and carrot sticks with bean dip or…

Thank you for that one!!!!

Concentrated fruit juice (eat fruti instead) funny they use a picture of a banana. They said nothting about bananas. Margarine or spreads (use real butter instead and in moderation) Bread (alternatives are sprouted grain bread and spelt or quinoa bread products) Corn and anything made of corn! Corn has very little…

My thoughts for you are hard but simple. There are several factors that are at play here. You are here to get healthier. Stress is a health robber as is smoking. While I understand that it is very hard to break this addiction, like weight loss, you have to be mentally ready. You have to just wake up one morning and say, "I…

Usually, when we eat more frequent and smaller meals we are less likely to eat "junk". Our blood glucose stays level instead of high up and down swings and we are less hungry for empty carbohydrates. Eating more of the right things more often is better and works. :flowerforyou: Merlin's Mom
