I make taco meat and put it on romaine lettuce for myself (taco salad minus the taco) and everyone else has burritos or tacos. There are also plenty of healthy meatloaf recipes on the internet.

I eat way less in the summer probably because I am outside in the grueling Florida heat everyday for workouts, lawn care, etc. Eating a heavy meal after being outside makes me sick. Actually eating anything that is warm makes me feel sick. I also drink more water to keep me cool so I am sure that helps with my apetite. I…

I have a similar problem in my home. I have my boyfriend hide his sweets. Out of sight, out of mind, however one time I spent 45 minutes looking for donuts he hid. By the time I found them I didn't want them anymore (and I burned calories searching! ha.) I keep tons of fruit for my cravings..or sugar free pudding or jello.…

Date: "I have to be home by 9." Me: "You have to work tomorrow?" Date: "No, I don't want to violate." AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So happy I am not the only one!

I read online..or maybe Dr. Oz said..that if your uterus falls out you can reinsert with a coat hanger. Just fyi..

I argee. When I work nights I am awake almost 24 hours sometimes and I find myself starving on 1200 cals. I just allow myself a little extra so I don't totally binge. I track my calories from midnight to midnight..just easier that way.

I like chives or salsa in mine. Also lemon zest. I got pretty creative when I was low carbing. ETA- and any leftovers in my fridge basically.

1. Go to a doctor. 2. Invest in a shower chair and save yourself the dangers of falling.

I reccommend getting your glucose checked because it can be a sign of a complication of diabetes..neuropathy. It is great that you lost the weight but that doesn't mean you didn't already have glucose issues. The test is super easy and most can be done in the office.

You are sabatoging yourself. I see 100 excuses in your post about how you can't, or don't want to, or don't like to. Blah Blah Blah. Get off the couch and do something. Who cares who is watching? Do you HATE exercise more than you HATE being over weight? Attitude is one of the easiest fixes you can make. Put a smile on…

I had a similar problem with my toes going numb and when I told the chiropractor he pointed out that my shoes were too small. I had always worn an 8 but due to whatever reason I needed a bigger size. So, are your shoes too small? I would see a doctor and get your bp and glucose checked just to be safe. Good luck!

If you are vomiting it is a good idea to fast until your stomach calms down, usually 12 hours or so. As soon as you can tolerate it is good to start with the BRAT diet and advance your diet slowly. If you are having loose stools stick to the BRAT diet. After 24 hours usually it is safe to start taking something like…

I just started the C25k and here is some advice: Research proper running technique. It is more efficient to land on your toes (from what I have learned.) It is important to know from the begining of your program proper technique to avoid injury and get maximum benefits. I just started week 2 and there is a HUGE difference…

Are you dehydrated? Are you over-doing it? I would drink more fluids and increase your stretching. Tylenol/Ibuprofen is your friend. If you continue to have pain in these areas see a doctor to rule out other problems.

I am a nurse and I work 12 hour night shifts. My advice is to log everything especially those peanut butter packages and graham crackers :-) No, I don't think it is worth "stressing over" but I know I will stress the repercussions later when I get on the scale. I found myself eating atc when I started working nights…

While I would like to say you won't gain that weight back, chances are if you hydrated yourself properly you might gain it back quickly. Encourage yourself to increase your water intake. Water is the only substance you can put in your body that your body doesn't have to work to filter. Drinks with caffeine and sugar will…

I like Natures Own Double FIber Wheat Bread. I THINK 13 carbs per slice and only 50 kcals. I also Like Arnolds Sandwich Thins 22 carbs and 100 kcals per roll. I am sure there are better options maybe at health food stores but where I shop those are the better choices.

Spinning class can be intense but the best part is that you control your resistance and speed. It is YOUR workout and the instructor is just there to encourage you to work hard. Starting a new class can be intimidating (always for me) because you don't know if you can keep up or if you will feel inadequate. The first class…

I was stuck in the 170's last year and I also live in Florida btw. I had to increase my calorie intake from 800 to 1800 and exercise OUTSIDE. I take a Zyrtec every morning and bike to work. The humidity made me sweat off 12lbs the first 2 weeks and brought me out of the 170's. I will never pay for another gym membership…

Hey! I'm Amanda..25 from Florida :-)

I use Crystal Light..always keep a gallon of Cherry Limeade made in the fridge. Also diet sweet tea bought at the grocery store.
