give him what he want if he wants to be difficult but cook a healthy version for you. my husband loves patty melts. he lets me use ground turkey, no grease or butter, and i use minimal reduced fat cheese. and leave it open faced for me and he doubles the cheese and bread for him. if you're in his house obviously there are…

It is good that you are there to teach her to be aware of food and not to allow her to be misguided with food. It is also wonderful that she is aware and willing to learn about it and continue to be healthy through exercise. Just keep in mind that she is very young and this type of concern ,could be something that could…

there are tons of ideas out there! I love a taco salad with warm ground turkey, some beans, salsa, tons of letuce and a tiny bit of cheese. If you just don't feel like salads are a meal try putting your salad in a whole wheat low fat (and maybe low carb) tortilla. Find things that add texture and taste and even if it's…

lol the first few weeks are the hardest then you get creative. I missed pizza like nothing else.... soooo I bought healthy low calories pitas and started making my own with tons of veggies and a little cheese. Almost all the food i make now had the flavor turned up on high. once you start eating healthy and making health…

try a salad with 2 oz of chicken and hard boiled egg egg whites only. you may still have enough left over for a piece of whole wheat toast or triscut crackers and string cheese. they get to be pretty filling

best thread ever!!!! Here in CA we can hunt and eat bear but i have trouble getting past the game smell. it tends to be oilly and chewy so both help keep me from wanting to try more then a bite. second... I find that some nutrition info on this site is inaccurate at best. check your label and/or look for foods with…

I do it wednesday mornings first thing in the morning. I do weigh myself other times however the ones i count are then. your body may change by a few pounds over the whole day so as you guessed same day/time is likely most accurate for gains or losses

http://www.skinnytaste.com/ also great site with variety

i am in the same boat. some days are better then others but my go to meals are: Italian whole wheat penne turkey italian sausage- meat removed from casing hunts tomato sauce Fish Tacos Talipia- from target's freezer section- pan cook (dry or with Mrs Dash fiesta lime) mission extra thin corn tortillas cabbage tomatos…

while i would say bring your own food reality is I don't live by that all the time. So plan ahead. look up meals at all the places you go for lunch. sabarros has salads and so does sub way. wendy's isn't totally horrible if you order the junior hamburger and salad and unsweetened ice tea. or if you need to (like when i…

it could be what you are eating and or are you drinking water. I know it seems like everyone has a gulten allergy these days but one is the symptoms is upset stomach and considering that you can't escape gulten unless you are trying to avoid it, perhaps it's something to consider. If not try drinking a cup of water before…

oh and watch liqiud calories! starbucks and alcohol are both evil to all college kids

think about portion control. I love cooking great food but if it i high calorie i eat less or just put a salad on the plate too. also one of MFP friends showed me this tasty web page with lightened up food that i lived on while away at college. http://www.skinnytaste.com/ try offering to cook a few times a week also or put…

was it the song in the new clorox commercial? Still can't find the song/singer though

it is one of the Cotton Comercials (the fabric of our lives) ? I think the most recent ones are leonna lewis and colbie corbat (not sure of spelling or is it a mastercard commerical?

It isn't good nor bad. It's your choice. If you are making it can you make it leaner and more healthy? if not can you be happy with small bites and not a whole bowl? As for the wine, again your choice. it has calories and is pretty high for only 4 oz but it's still better then your starbucks, so can you give up something…

First of all you are doing great. I can only imagine how hard finding you time is with a little one at home. are you some where that you can put him or her in a stroller and go for walks or runs? My sister in law does p90x with her little one. she lifts him as a weight (modified for safety of course) and uses push ups like…

I'd re check and also a single day won't kill you so eat what you need to not be hungry. tomorrow is another day so don't let the stress of today ruin it

I'm with calling ahead. if not try the beef and broc or shrimp and snow peas. go for ones light on sauce and heavy on veggies. skip the rice. If you love something try asking for the sauce on the side and just dipping your fork in the sauce before you have meet and veggies on it. by skipping the rice you can enjoy more of…

Most doctors say maintain current work outs but don't start a new one or increase intensity if you suspect pregnancy. I would consider something less intense for now so that you can feel confident that your are taking care of your baby and not putting it at risk.

If you haven't run in awhile try couch to 5k for gradual conditioning. look for soccer in your area or try to find pick up games. if you know members of the college soccer team try hanging out and training with them some. you can do c25k on your treadmill even.

Take a deep breath. Loving yourself is the hardest and most important things. You seem like a kind hearted, observant person that is struggling with self image. Look at things you are good at. Can any of those help you on this journey( for me - like to cook and i am ok at it. now i challenge myself to make it quick and…

i got a camelback water bottle which i love. I keep it full and make sure i drink about a quarter of it an hour. Also before dinner I make sure to drink about half of one. it cuts my hunger and I always have it with me. You can also try crystal light and flavors. I love adding a slice or two of cucumber to my water. OH and…

while you can lose water weight it is very high in calories and it can actually lead to weight gain. I didn't put on weight until i started drinking. now that I have stopped i found it easier to drop pounds and then i also avoided the snacky cravings that can come with drinking

I do ok with the healthy som times but not always. for your chips substitue crunchy things (carrots, celery, cucumber etc or try triscuits with sliced reduced fat cheese) get healthy tortillas and reduced fat cheese for quesodillas when in a rush. pre plan your meals. if you want pasta go for a whole grain. turkey sasuage…

if you are worried talk with your doctor. focus on eating healthy and enough calories for 2. general rule is add about 300 calories a day when pregnant. more when you are breast feeding. but that can be healthy too. a glass or two of milk and some extra oatmeal (or other sources of fiber) in the morning will give you easy…

it can be all the things people have mentioned already but also have you ever broken a bone on that side of your body. sometimes legs can be slightly shorter on one side for many reasons and it can be noticed when exercising. If your insurace would cover it i would consider seeing a Chiropractor if simple changes like…

do you have a particular size of dog you want? for running long distances a lab is awesome. I have a mutt from the pound and she is the best dog ever (50 lbs- lab, chow, shepherd mix- sweet, smart and the perfect size for me to manage)

hummm... my work is like that too. I tend to log is as 1-2 hours of walking at a slow pace (2 miles per hour). some days i easily walk three miles while on shift and others I just stand there with some movement.

I'm a student nurse right now and while I struggle with exercise, what is your average day/ sleep pattern like? If you sleep afternoon/ evening time can you wake up a maybe 30 minutes to 1 hour early and fit it in? can you walk around more when the shift is quiet? what about jumping jacks (do maybe 3 minutes every hour on…
