  • Beth, the no (low carb) was one of the changes I made a couple of weeks ago, but I have not tried alternating. At this point, I will try about anything. I am so very sorry about your son and his migrains. My son has not made a college decision yet, but I am hoping he stays close so I can catch a few games. If not, I'm sure…

  • Terri, when my son is not pitching, he plays first base. He is 6'5" and left handed. He graduates is May and hopefully will continue his baseball in college. I have not noticed much change in the way my clothes fit. I'm not giving up. I have more energy and am feeling better, so I'm just going to keep eating healthy and…

  • Good afternoon group! We had 8" of snow last night in central Va. A rarity for us. It is a real heavy snow. I did a lot of shoveling and since my son didn't have school today, he helped. But, it's baseball season and he is a pitcher so I did not make him do too much because I didn't want him hurting his arm. We are…

  • Heather, try vinegar to get the labels off of jars. You may need to soak them a little while, but I have used it before and had success.

  • My friend sent me this joke today. Thought I would share it with this group. After you read it, you'll know why...... Yesterday I was at Costco buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pets, BJ & Lanny. I was in the check-out line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. (I thought what did she think I had an…

  • Thanks everyone for the comments and encouragement. I will up my calories to 1200 and see what happens. It can't hurt. And yes, Robin, I drink water all day long and keep a bottle by my bed at night so every time I wake with hot flashes, I have my water. I usually drink about 6-8 16oz bottles a day. Can you explain…

  • Terri, I started at 1200 calories and with exercise, was not even hitting 1200 so I reduced it to 1000. Staying close but not exceeding it....with calories burned included. I take a One a Day women's vitamin every day and have even had my thyroid checked. Of course, it was normal. I have heart disease (a very small artery…

  • Good morning ladies. I NEED HELP! I have been doing MFP (again) for 30 days now. The first week was great, of course, with 7 pounds coming off easily. Since then....nothing! I have given up all sodas, fried foods, fast foods, salt and sugar. I have consistently stayed under 1000 calories a day, and have been exercising…

  • Good morning group! It's a balmy 23F this morning in Central Va. Just finished my morning walk. Knees complained until they got numb from the cold but was able to make my 1 hr trek around the neighborhood. I even pushed myself to walk the more difficult uphill streets! That is a first for me since I started walking outside…

  • Saw this joke on FB and just had to share. I hope I don't offend anyone. So Hillary Clinton, Rick Perry, and Billy Graham Were on a Plane. The airplane was about to crash, and there were 4 passengers left, but only 3 parachutes. The first passenger, Rick Perry said “I’m the governor of the great state of Texas, and I have…

  • Good morning friends. I did well passing up the birthday cake last night. Slight correction on the marinade. Thanks Katla for catching the error. I did NOT marinade my DH's steak in allergy medicine. It was allegro, not Allegra. Auto correct gets me every time. Before I started this journey, I was drinking about 3 16 oz…

  • Good morning! Hope all up north have survived the "snowmageddon". They were talking about it on the Today show this morning how everything in NY city shut down and they didn't get as much as forecasted. One of the weathermen actually posted an apology! WHY?? He is only as good as the information given. I felt bad for him.…

  • Good day everyone! Slow getting moving this morning. Cold and about 2 inches of snow in Chesterfield, Va this morning, hitting at 5:30 a.m. And causing a mess for traffic. 50+ accidents in about 3 hours. People around here drive in snow as if the roads are clear, or the crawl causing accidents coming up behind them. No…

  • Good morning friends! Had a good, but lazy day yesterday. Took the day off from exercises but I did do 4 loads of laundry so I wasn't exactly a couch potato. I was able to still eat healthy tho. Spaghetti for son, rib eye steak sandwiches for hubby, and pork loin and Brussels sprouts for me. Gotta love making 3 different…

I was getting up every hour but now I only wake up maybe 3 times/night. I already have cardiac disease and really want to take better care of…
