I can see the wisdom in your advice to perhaps weigh weekly, but I went years without weighing myself when I starting working from home and now I find myself obese and I know that would never happen if I had been keeping track of my weight. I had no idea how much I weighed.... Seriously no idea (off by an entire 100lbs) So…

Oh my gosh! I normally make my taco meat with a salt free formula but I ran out so I used one from my local store. I bet you are right. I happen to have a bottle of cumin I have never opened so I will have to give that a shot. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the advice. I am having a bit of trouble for the last two days, and perhaps you or someone reading this will be able to help. I am getting terrible headaches and for some reason, even though low carb diets are supposed to act like a diuretic, I am retaining water. I have leg edema pretty bad and my hands are…

Thank you again Kymmu! You have been my biggest ali on MFP. :smile: I absolutely love deviled eggs, but only ever eat them on Thanksgiving for some reason. Yummy. Some great ideas for me to look into.

GREAT IDEAS!! I was walking at night and I realized I had on black pants and a black long jacket. Not the best idea. Thankfully my NewBalance shoes are white and have reflectors built in.

Adding fats will sure boost the calories quick. I added 2 sticks of celery with peanut butter and the celery had only 17 calories, but the less than 2 tablespoons of peanut butter I used (which seemed like a lot to me) was about 200 calories! wow.

Thanks for the link. Just checked it out and think I may try this tomorrow.

Yes, you are correct about there not being any gyms here. Thanks for the tip on Overstock I will check that out.

HA ha ha... I DID IT. I live about 40 minutes from the nearest city with a mall, but I had a dentist appointment in town today and I went to the mall and I walked from one end to the other, up and down the isles in Sears and Macy's and even crossed the parking lot to a neighboring mall and was able to get in about an hour…

WHoa... that's quite a list. Freaking me out now. I should add that I take a bunch of supplements, including a 6 a day vitamin from vitacost. I am thinking that the vitamins and minerals (plus a calcium suppliment) should help with #2, #3, #4 #5 If I get enough protein and I walk daily I should be able to maintain muscle…
