Good job! I lost ten pounds my first week on MFP. It was exactly the motivation I needed to keep at it. Things have slowed down now, but I'm still in a slow losing mode, so I'm happy with that. Plus with my T-Tapp exercises, I've toned muscles I haven't seen in years and have gone from a very tight fitting size 16 to a…

My husband was public schooled and he is very shy, has social anxiety and is socially awkward. I don't think I'll ever raise my children in public school. I, too, went to public school. Could it be that there just happens to be shy, socially awkward, anxious people in all facets of life? That home schooling nor public…

Just wanted to say that I like your post!

[/quote] Homeschool programs containing curriculum decided by the state, monitored by teachers, and given by parents are the ONLY ones I approve of. The rest are dangerous and do not prepare a child for the real world. Now, have I made myself TOTALLY CLEAR? [/quote] I'm sorry. But my children are MY children. They do not…

I have nine children. Currently, I am home schooling seven of them. One is too young, and the other is graduated and will be a junior in college next fall. With eight children in the house, there is never a dull moment and always someone to play with. So, socialization is practically a moot point here. But we do still get…

I used to pack my husband's lunch when he worked in a warehouse. People began stealing stuff from his lunches. I also regularly sent a sweetheart note too so then I started writing on his notes "I mixed your medication into your food. Love you, etc..." That worked for us.

I'm sorry I haven't replied sooner. I just now saw your post. I am only using Basic Workout Plus. That is all I can physically handle at this point in my life.

I've just been using MFP and a workout video from http://t-tapp.com/ I use the Basic Workout Plus video. I can't do much in the way of heavy exercising due to Lyme disease, but I do this workout about 4 days a week. It is working for me. I also followed some other MFPers suggestion of eating TDEE for my goal weight. I was…

I drink 1 tablespoon of Braggs ACV with the mother mixed with 8 ounces of water. I drink it every other day. It helps me with joint pain and inflammation. I have lost 6 inches from my waist since beginning MFP and doing T-Tapp exercises though. Not sure if they are all related. But I do know for a fact that the ACV helps…

You will never regret having another child. You just might regret not having another. I've never met an elderly person who regretted having any of their children, but I have met some who regretted not having more.

Could you be pregnant? Have you taken a test? That would be my first suggestion. If it is negative, then go to the doctor and get your hormone levels checked. Have you looked into adrenal fatigue? Are you stressed about something? Cortisol is the stress hormone and it causes weight gain. (Sorry if I'm telling you something…

Do you know where to find a hip to waist ratio chart? Is there a calculator that tells you what you should be? I am 5 ft 5 1/2 inches, semi-long torso.

Where is the "like" button! This is so true. Anything to survive, dontcha know?

Just because other mammals do it, does not make it something I would ever do. We live on a farm, whenever any of our animals give birth, if we are there, we take the placenta away as soon as possible. The reason mammals eat their placentas is to keep predators from smelling the birth. Also, the placenta is a filter to keep…

Did you borrow something from her and forget to return it? Kind of sounds like she was trying to make a point by borrowing a book only to return it right away???

Dice them into cube size pieces, spray them with cooking spray (zero calories), season them with your favorite seasonings (mine are a little salt, and a lot of garlic/herb), stir fry them for several minutes. I also stir fry a half a chicken breast (diced) to go with mine, with the same seasonings, and it is a very yummy…

What a wonderful feeling!! Many congratulations on your NSV!!!! And I hope your wedding dress fits you! How fun!

Speaking of raw whole milk, we have our own milk cow and I have no idea how to figure the calories from her milk. I know that her milk is very high in butterfat, because we get 1 cup of cream out of every half gallon of milk. So, for now, I'm not drinking her milk. I do use our homemade butter though because I only use 1…

I am homeschooling two in high school right now. And I graduated one back in 2010. Next year I will have three in high school at the same time. :) We use Apologia Science, Math-U-See, Easy Grammar, some Rod and Staff, and then a mix of good, wholesome books for reading. We also use the books from Sonlight for history, plus…

Hooray! Love those kids and their honesty! Mine was recently massaging my shoulders and he told me that I wasn't as squishy as I used to be!

Hi! I'm a homeschooling mama to nine children. My oldest is 19 and just finishing his second year of college and my youngest is three. I have 6 boys and 3 girls. I joined mfp on Feb 14th and it has been a tremendous help to me. I've never dieted before, and really am hoping to just learn to make this my new way of eating.…

Why do you feel like eating an entire jar of peanut butter? Are you craving protein? Cheese has protein. Can you not even stand the texture of lunch meat? It's so thin and can easily be disguised by bread and cheese. Dry beans have a lot of protein. Edamame (soybeans) have 12 grams of protein in 1/2 cup of shelled beans.…

I can't see your pics but just wanted to say "way to go!!!" Good job on your first 17 lbs and here's to many more for you. Congrats on your sweet babies too! I love babies!

Is a prawn like a shrimp or something? My favorite go to meal is diced chicken, zucchini, and yellow squash seasoned with garlic/herb spice and then stir fried in a small amount of coconut oil (or spray on oil if I'm out of coconut oil). It is super easy and super filling. I use one whole chicken breast, one whole zucchini…

Thanks again!!

MFP has me at 1320 calories and that is what I am eating, but I do eat back my exercise calories too.
-
I've mainly been just following the caloric requirements that MFP set for me. But a while back I read a book called The Schwarzbein Principle written by an endocrinologist and so I try to eat the way she recommends as far as what I eat. I also started doing Teresa Tapp's exercise called T-Tapp. It's a 15 minute workout…
