mommy probably doesn't want you to get to be too good for her little boy. Now how i handle it is, I ask what i can bring or i just bring it. It starts out as snacking things (like a veggie tray or apples and a fruit dip) then slowly becomes whole salads and such. I will still sample and enjoy all the food in front of me,…

I find that too but I always assume that everything is an estimate anyway so i just find something close and go with it.

It does contribute to the damage. watching your intake is important but heart disease is a complicated disease with many contributing factors.

it's your birthday so enjoy. Thank being said you can always ask how it is made and specify no butter, salt etc. fish and grilled is always a great choice and ask for any sauce on the side

I checked out your food log and looked back over the past week. First lets look at the obvious: how is your hydration and are you taking a supplement with iron? if not try changing both of those. Second perhaps try more nutritiously dense foods because it looks like you aren't giving your body much to work with and you…

do you know how it was injured? a twist or turn perhaps? It sounds like soft tissue injury. the best cure at this time is support. if you have a walmart find an ankle brace with side stabilizers. they will let your work out but prevent the movement that creates ankle sprain

guess what was in them and the portions to ball park. I always assume my sodium was killed also

bump... great idea to help anyone restart and get goal oriented again

I am 5'4" and when I was 152 the BMI (which is notoriously faulted) had me categorized at over weight which came with all the lovely warnings about at risk for chronic disease. I would say start with 150 and when you get close to reaching it consult your doctor and see what they think. since there are many body shapes and…

well sandals has great package options. I didn't do a destination wedding but with family so spread out it was one for others. It is a great way to keep a small and private guest list. The negatives are that you can't micro manage so somethings may not be as visioned. Also will going on one alter your honeymoon if mom and…

my husband is like your kids... ways around it. I bake chicken nuggets for him and cook a few un breaded chicken for me and toss it over a salad. i make enchiladas and use la tortilla factory tortillas (low cal, low carb, high fiber) and shredded chicken and use reduced fat cheese. I make pizza on pita bread or when we eat…

a few folks that go over in protein mention constipation. if you aren't find any negatives a little over won't hurt you

hey try thinking life style change not diet. I rarely miss foods I used to eat because I still eat them, I just eat less of it or reduce the fat and calories in them. I work out and darn it i still enjoy my alcohol and wine. reality is I'd likely lose more if i didn't indulge and lord help me with two trips in June, but i…

I need some new friends and a new goal. don't know if i will make it but it will sure be fun to try

^ funny thing is I noticed his face and eyes. and I agree J-lo looks athletic and if debate the challenges of getting ripped... guys have it worse.

I love greek yogurt in general. Fage or chobani plain non fat is perfect for me because I can make it my own and decrease the sugar. I have it daily for breakfast. 1/4 cup frozen berries (thawed with juices reserved) 1/3 cup yogurt plain non fat (i buy the big containers and usually i'll buy a month supply (4 to 6 large…

I think it is our perspectives and honestly we women are nurturing. How many of us still love our teddy bear men or support our husband and love how they look despite how he sees himself. nothing makes me feel worse than when my skinny hubby stands there and pats his stomach (that has a baby six pack and little to no fat)…

Hang in there. It sounds like you are stressed and perhaps your body wants more calories. Remember this isn't just about losing weight, it is a life style change so look at other things you have accomplished. you are working out regularly. Your are getting both cardio and muscles in shape. You are setting goals and working…

when it is more than my usual i log it. not because i expect to lose weight doing it but so that i get a reminder that i may need to eat more.

over all we have a very skewed perspective on healthy. You are either too skinny or fat. There is no middle ground. I still have my goal weight but for now my focus is on constantly working out, being able to run hopefully 5k regularly and losing my jiggle. People focus on weight not health. Try telling them you are…

I struggle with this often. For starters, enter your regular eating for a few days and just see what it looks like. Given that you are breast feeding I would consult your doctor on how to eat low calorie and healthy while making sure your body and baby won't suffer. eating as you are you will likely be under calories every…

I'm the same way. I am too self conscious and my gym had too many creepers. The reality is you just have to over come it or learn to work out at home and around the neighborhood. The gym is the most effective though. Do you have a work out buddy? perhaps a friend can help ease the anxiety. Or ask about when the gym is the…

To pass my final semester of my RN program To feel comfortable in my own skin despite shape, size or jiggle To finally be able to start our family without judgment from parents or employers

humm if your family is super picky you can try sneaky ways of controlling nutrition. instead of mashing potatoes try to keep the whole? add more veggies to the menu? if not check out this site and see what you come up with. also you can make your regular stuff but use portion control. that is how i got through Thanksgiving…

I wouldn't stand for it. My husband has a friend that is similar but different. thankfully no sexual stuff but equally hard to tolerate. I told my husband point blank that was the last time his friend was welcome to stay at our house. Dave is a very nice guy, but all he wants is to drink/get drunk with my hubby and we are…

I make burgers with it but i do add one egg (you can just use egg white), Some italian dressing, grated zucchini and some bread crumbs (i've learned they are needed for binding it all together). tastes great and still lean but if your beef burgers are lean, tasty and just beef then you may be ahead just using that instead…

I'm 5'3 or 5'4 with horrible posture. I can squeeze into size 4 jeans but even after losing 2 pants sizes and almost 20 pounds i still look chubby. I had one weekend when 4 different people thought i was pregnant. It has been rough. I remember in highschool that i focused on my fatty areas even when i was wearing a size…

When i started middle school, I went from bean pole to a curvy girls with hips and a booty. I had no Idea about stretch marks then and I didn't gain weigh so much as gain hips and booty. kids were cruel but y now you can barely tell they are there and if anyone ever did notice i'd wonder why the are looking so closely at…

It all depends how you choose to take it. being married to a man with foot-in-the-mouth-itis and often i take what he says and turn it into something i can live with. for instance "wow, you can squeeze into those jeans" = i look hot even if he said it in a way that has me dying to change pants. Things only matter with how…

I live on my meal schedule but my schedule is all over the place. I have my breakfast which is about 300 calories. Then I pack quick but good eats such as string cheese and triscuit crackers, which i can eat super quick an easy. my lunch sometimes never happens but that is when the idea of a protein shake works well. I try…
