Fish soups and chowdahs are my thing right now. I used a rescipe from The Joy of Cooking. Two staple go-to's for baked fish are chop up a bunch of fresh herbs, coat the fish and salt, pepper and olive oil. Other go-to is Dijon mustard, lemon juice & worcestershire whisked together coat fish and bake. It works for any fish

Figuring out your personal triggers for a binge can be a daunting task. I learned my triggers through the help of a therapist speciallizing in binge eating disorders. After we were able to work through identifying the cause of the problem I am finally beginning to work on how I react to my triggers. Sometimes I still binge…

I'm 5'3" and the same weight. We are fortunate to both have bodies that carry weight evenly. If you want to reduce pant size, I would focus on a combination of calorie burning with repititions and weights. If you can, seek out some pilates classes. Toning the muscle will help you lose inches even if you have not lost…

Do it! Work out until you are tired and had time to gather your thoughts. Your 6 year old needs a strong healthy mom.

Sorry folks...I gained 2.5 lbs since last week. I had trouble working out after work. My solution is to get up early and work out before everyone's day gets crazy and work out after work/ during work as usual. Hope this knocks off the gain plus some.

I can fit into a size 12 again!(down from a 14) I've taken a successful weight-loss friend's advice and added more regularity to my diet: Same breakfast, salad for lunch, two snacks of fruit/veggies and change-up what I eat for dinner as my husband loves to…

I also have this gorgeous vintage black halter dress that I keep in my closet so every day when I get dressed I'm reminded of what i need to do that day to eventually fit back into it. I'm also seeking counsel for…

3/5ths of my week were good. I fought off a cold on Tuesday - Thursday and let myself slip. I lost .7 lbs this week. Keep on going!

Try a chocolate calcium supplement. Usually two chocolate pieces per day, at 30 cals each - choco craving and calcium requirement filled in 60 calories total. I usually find these in vitamin/health food stores like GNC or wholefoods.

There are zero calorie flavors you can add to your water if it's the flavor that bothers you. I also got a food scale, measuring cups and measuring spoons. My ball park estimates of food portions were waaaaaaaaaaaaay off. When I started to measure servings and weigh veggies and meats I had accurate calorie counts and the…
