I do not know but I think you will not gain any weight back. You are eating only one meal each day. Visually estimate amounts and don't go back for seconds. I lived in Palestine a short time. I miss the call to prayer. It is a powerful reminder for people of all faiths to worship God. I wish you well.

Dear you do not have a child for your friends nor for your family. You have a child because you are ready to be a parent. Please don't forget that. I was 29 when my son was born. Both his dad and I had established careers, traveled the States and Europe. We bought our house and were comfortable with our income. . When we…

Please do not give up. Many people have lost over 100 pounds. It takes time, patience and the will to try. Please ignore your doctor's advice.

Due to chemicals in tinfoil I would not use it in the crock pot. However parchment paper is a dream!

Talk about red flags, Jane's should be waving furiously. What you see if what you get. Even if he marries her there is nothing that speaks of commitment. Any woman deserves much better than this. My prayer is Jane will love herself enough to look elsewhere.

Honey, situations like this can hurt. Be confident in yourself then no one can define you because you know who you are. I'd give anything to lose 60 # in 14 months. You are terrific. I have a standard reply to folks who are mean spirited it goes like this, I am sorry that you feel so bad about yourself that you want to…

I feel good. I have energy to last all day. I work, play, and sleep better. Exercise rocks!

I just read this, a day late. However, you have my prayers as well. Hopefully there will be a strong recovery.

NannyJ, I would love to be friends with you.

I mix cottage cheese with tuna and chives. I eat it on wheat crackers, or just by itself. I don't measure but I think I use about half a cup of cottage, probably 3oz. tuna, and a hand full of chives.

I am so sorry this happened to you. You did not cause him to do this and you could not have stopped it. I hope the pain of this experience will be healed. It takes courage to write what you shared. I believe you are strong and will move on in life a bit wiser and certainly in a healthy way. God bless you and keep you.

Follow all most all mother's advice. Be patient, keep doing the right thing and you will be fine.

My favorite for summer. 2 c. black beans, drained and rinsed 2 c. frozen corn, I put the corn in an iron skillet and roast it on top of the stove 1/2 c. red onion, or if you prefer green onion 1/3 c. each red, green, yellow and orange bell pepper, small dice. If you like use only one or two colors. 1 avocada chopped 1/2 c.…

When you exercise you build muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat. You could even gain a small amount until your body adjust.

I make an egg white omelet. When the whites are cooked I put a couple of spears of asparagus, a touch of cheese, and a little tomato on the omelet. Then I put a lid on the pan and let the heat steam the asparagus. Really good. Absolute favorite is raw.
