I didn't know this! I've been counting chicken all wrong. Thanks for sharing.

Sounds like a food allergy and you need to find out what it is. If you keep eating it your subsequent reactions could get worse, meaning not just hives but shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing, facial or tongue swelling, throat tightening and possible anaphylactic shock.

I like my showers as hot as I can get them, to the point of being scalded. Probably not so great for my skin though.

My pet peeve: A patient sitting in a wating room who ignores me when I call their name. If your legal name on your chart is "Alexander" but you prefer to go by "Alex", don't just sit there and stare at me when I call "Alexander". You may think it's funny when you do this, but if you are the 4th person to do that in a day…

I went to the cafeteria at work to get oatmeal for breakfast and there was a tray of at least 20 maple bars, which are my FAVORITE. It was hard but resist them I did. Still thinking about them though.

Try incorporating peanut butter, full fat dressings, and nuts into your diet. It's very hard to not get enough calories eating these foods.

Ok so our first trip to the gym went great. We worked on bench press bar only, lat pull downs, shoulder press with a 20lb barbell, and some leg press. We kept the weight lighter and stopped at 12 reps even though he could do more. He seemed to enjoy it and didn't seem embarrassed to be there with his mom. He's looking…

Wow Dee congrats on your progress! I've tracked the last 42 days in a row and am making some progress also. The book sounds interesting. I'll have to check it out.

Oh believe me this has been a hot topic in our household. I'm very proud of him though for wanting to start to make some healthy changes. He's played football, baseball, and basketball. He loves basketball but he's not good enough to play on the city team and in our small town there is no other basketball option for 7th…

So for the record...I have no intention of letting my son lift "heavy" at 85% of max at this moment in time. He just wants to lose a little weight. We will see what happens a few months from now.

He is a kid and he wants to do this. I'm not pushing him. I'm asking advice of people who may know a lot more than me about this.

Wow! Thanks for all the advice, conflicting as it is. We have plans to go to the gym after school and I will show him the exercises I know how to do (I follow the New Rules of Lifting for Women) and have him start with lighter weights for his first few workouts until he gets the form correct and see where it goes from…

Thanks all. Yes this was what I was thinking starting with. I will check out starting strength also.

I DID give it up, gained 50 lbs and now I'm back.

I've done both and pointsplus can be a little easier for logging . Also certain fruits and most vegetable are zero points. MFP is however FREE.

These are great! Thank you. I had the meeting last night where I introduced this topic and apparently mine were too easy so I will incorporate these into the mix. Thanks so much.

I have always lost weight in the winter and gained it back in the summer. It's much easier for me to get in a workout routine when my kids are in school and it's cool outside. During summer everyone is lazy, it's hot outside, and all the activities seem to revolve around food. This is the first year I've managed to keep…

This is the BEST lentil soup recipe ever. I ran it through the recipe builder using the Kroger brand of lentils and Swanson reduced sodium chicken broth and it is 157 calories for a 2 cup serving. Five Vegetable Lentil Soup with Kale 10 cups reduced sodium chicken, beef, or vegetable broth 1 1/2 cups lentils 1 large onion,…

Thanks

Ive been using an iPad app called The Recipe Box for a couple months. I can instantly download recipes from most of the major websites including skinnytaste, cooking light, and all recipes. I can copy paste recipes from Facebook or type them in manually. So far I really like it. It does not scale recipes but that is just a…

Thanks. I needed this

Oh I never though of that. What a great idea! The cooker was only 4 dollars though, but if it is dirty or I need to make more than one at a time I know what to do. ( replying to post above about using Pyrex for cooking egg in microwave ):smile:

I got this microwave egg cooker off amazon.com and I can cook an egg in the microwave in one minute. It takes me a total of three minutes to make a homemade egg muffin sandwich which I can eat in the car on the way to work

Exactly. This is not a picture of her entire body. An MRI scan takes slices through the body, similar to slicing a loaf of bread and looking at each slice individually. These images are one slice through the body about 10 millimeters wide. The slices are straight, the human body is not so it would be impossible to have the…
