was complicated....now single and loving it! had no idea what i was missing...never gonna do complicated again!

I wanna know too! I have always just sauteed them in butter with mushroom onions n garlic.....but I am afraid it comes out VERY tough. I have had jerky that feels moist n tender compared to the liver I have prepared. I saw on MDA where people shred it up and *kitten* to ground beef....mayb in a burger you wouldn't taste it…

It may sound silly but I give myself positive "punishments" (lack of a better word) for any binging. If I am going to eat a cookie and not log it I must drop and do 20 military style (which I can barely do) before I eat it....it might not matter for one cookie but being sore n tired keeps me from going back for cookie #3…

Best I try to do is to watch my carbs....high carbs usually equals high sugar! Avoid juice at all costs...has little nutritional value and hi sugar....try to eat the fruit itself. An orange gives u way more nutrition then the juice alone will....or put a shot of juice in a glass of water or tonic water so u have the taste…

i did primal for about 1.5 months before i ever read the book....now i want to get the 21 day transformation book but am in the same boat as you are...i have the one book so why should i buy another just seems silly. i found a lot of the basics at…

If u go then u will feel like a bad @$$ warrior! Copable of being on hot sexy lady the night before but able to push through the pain of beauty to show how strong and powerful you are too! GO BE A WARRIOR!

I have no experience in switching over a family as I am single with no kids but I say kudos to you! I have found that the 80/20 rule has worked in my favor.....I'm as good as possible all week, and if I go out to dinner or something I don't feel so guilty having a drink or something a little off the plan. Mayb keeping the…

i know everytime i go off plan and binge on crap its because somehow in the back of my mind i am telling myself that im not worth it....i self sabotage. perhaps your husbands health issues are stressing you out enough where u are subconsiously telling yourself that he is more important then your own health.....so in a…

P.S. If u find anything that works well on hair please let me know! Shampoo + Conditioner has always been my mortal enemy....nothing ever seems to be compatible with my hair. So I would give anything a go if it works!

If you are looking try out Pangea Organics for skin care....I LOVE THEIR PRODUCTS! I am currently using the Himalayan Geranium + Pomegranite Balancing Oil as a moisturizer and the Egytian Calendula + Blood Orange Fascial Cleanser. Though some days I just use coconut oil as a moisturizer....I had a rather large cyst that…

also....i see that many people are chalking up their lack of interest to stress. if you change the way you view sex then perhaps if wont be put on the side burner any longer. i think of sex as the best for of stress relief...way cheaper and more fun then a day at the spa....and now that i see it that way there are very few…

i am always boggled by the whole "not getting dressed because im not going out".....who would be more imortant to look good for....your husband or the random public? he is the most important person in your life....and yes we all hang around the house in sweats from time to time but looking presentable and pretty just for…

mine is open too! though i am no expert....been working at it for about 2 months.

Also try marksdailyapple.com. He just did a 5 part series on his blog about IF....works for me!

I'm not sure if they are all based on the same idea but most power yogas I have done move faster from one position to the next. Almost a new position for every breathe instead of holding a position once you are in it....u def raise your heart rate and sweat more. But give it a try...worst case you walk out....best case u…

Never even heard of it....looking into it now.....

OK its gross but urine helps. if u pee on your feet in the shower it will help? gross but it does work and is a lot cheaper and safer then some of the scary meds that doctors prescribe.

About 6 years as a veggie. Never could digest tofu or seitan so my protien levels were stupid low.eventually added fish and eggs back and felt an instant boost. I probably gained about 25-30 pounds while I was trying to lose on a vegetarian diet. I was so frustrated because I thought I was doing everything right! Feel much…

I find that anytime I tell people I try to keep to low carbs they act like I offered to murder kittens or something. I think it beause many traditional comfort foods are carbs...and nobody wants to give up the comfort. I thought the same thing in the beginning...what no rice or pasta or bread! That and we need to believe…

I was aiming for honesty and did not mean to offend or hurt you. You took me the wrong way and for that I am sincerely sorry. I believe that you can lose weight without exercise but a sedentary lifestyle would mean strict calorie reduction...so if you can find something it would make it easier. Please do not see my words…

i think people say that as a way of giving hope....yes everyone is different and illnesses effect people in very different ways. however....my friend that teaches spin class....was told she will never leave her bed again....wld be lucky to be able to walk to the bathroom. she said *kitten* that! she refused to give up and…

think of the settings on MFP as an average....an average of what works for most people. I know my body, weight, skin, mental all function better when I have lower carbs. Thats not the case for everyone...some are good at 100-150 per day....some are fine with 300+. you have to listen to your body and do what works for you.…

these are all weird combinations....but i actually have weird habits! i have not eaten candy in a while but i have routines when i do eat them. for example: a butterfinger has to be eaten 1. all chocolate eaten first 2. peanut buttery crunchy center eaten last. a three muskateers is very similar....a KitKat would be 1. all…

if you have been trying to keep sodium low then perhaps it is time to look at your other nutrients? i see that your carbs are way high...mayb have one or two meals a day that are lower in carbs? i have found that limiting myself to under 50 a day is the only way my body loses. and maybe incorporate more whole foods into…

perhaps a bit blunt but i agree. seems to me there is more on here about what cant be done then to truly find something that can! nothing in life gets handed to us....we all have to work for it...weight loss included. a friend of mine has fibro and teaches spin classes....so there is always that possibility. she is also…

I think by doing lots of cardio...to lose the fat.....pilates or that new ballet inspire class I think its called Barre? Yoga too. But more important love the body u have...some of those skinny women would kill for the beautiful muscles that u have been blessed with! We are all so different in shapes and sizes and it can…

Thanks! There is really no reason why I can't....I am very strong and am not afraid of hard work. I think what is drawing me to it is that extra push that I don't know how to give myself in the gym. I will look into the lite classes....though they usually don't fit well into my crazy schedule. I think I will give it a…

i never got a confirmation e-mail either.....but recieved my package within 5 days or so. just keep your confimation number safe if it doesnt arrive!

I got that when I gave up sugar n wheat....they say candida flares up as it is dying....that the symptoms get worse before it gets better. My MD told me it was a vit deficiency but I forget which one.....I switched my multi to one with less synthetic vitamins and it kinda went away in a cpl weeks.....so it clda been the…

I love this topic! I have NEVER spoken to anyone about this issue because unless u have it you don't understand it. I have always joked that I am a healthy skitzophrenic (spell?)...90% of the time I eat healthy organic and unprocessed foods.....but then something comes over me. I become a different person who is hell bent…
