I used to chew gum constantly until a vey smart lady I know told me that it was bad for the stomach. She said the chewing motion of the jaw and the swallowing of the saliva tells the brain to get the stomach churning. I never notived that it made me hungry, but I had always noticed that it made my stomach growl. I was…

lampchop1042 (Alicia) I have done Weigh Down and read the Made to Crave book also. I would highly recommend reading the Made to Crave book too. It goes so much deeper into your personal walk. Anyone who desires to be closer to God would benefit from it. I've been praying for the Lord to release me from this food issue for…

Looks like you started reading this book 5 months ago. I've been on this site off and on for 5 years, but just found this book, 2 months ago. I already had all the knowledge about exercise, nutrition, and all the How to's, what I was lacking was the Want To. Through studying this book with a group of friends this summer,…

Just finishing up a summer study of this book with a group of friends. I'm looking for more MFP friends who are like minded. It's made a HUGE difference in my life and that of others in the group as well. Anyone care to add to the friend list?

This was an excellent book for anyone desiring to be closer to God. A group of friends and I are just finsihing up this summer of study and accountability/encouragement with each other. How are you all doing with this, four months down the road? I'd like to know what I'm headed for. Currently, we are all doing great and…

Just finsihing up a summer discussion group with some friends using this book. It has been a wonderful study with lots of breakthroughs for all of us. We meet in person once a week and some in the group are walking together in the mornings. We are sad to see it end and have used this site to encourage one another and…

A friend who holds casual summer bible studies chose this book this summer. This week will be our last time meeting. I've been on MFP website off and on for over 5 years. At our first study night, I asked if anyone in the group would join me online in MFP. The two things together have made for an amazing summer. We are…

WHat a difference a year and a great attitude can make! Thank you for sharing. I like the pointers you gave about treating ourselves..much wisdom there. ("but a treat is special, or it's not a treat.") I'm gonna share that next week with the group of gals I've been meeting with this summer. We are reading and discussing a…

Sad to say but a few years back the clothing industy changed their sizing criteria because our society is so much larger.

This morning I'm down 2 lbs.

I just finished my last drink of a 48 hr bottled detox liquid. Seems that I'm more bloated than when I started and I gained 1 lb. I'm hoping that some results will show up in a day or two. I've never done one before and i followed the instructions exactly as printed. I've never heard of them not working, but come to think…

That's a great idea about leaving the cards at home! Also, I wanted to encourage you about eliminating unhealthy foods at home. The kids will complain but it's all part of food education - it's not just for you , it's for you to teach them and make it real life for them. One thing that I used to buy on my regular shopping…

Also, my trainer recommend that you walk quickly for 30 -45 minutes to work out, but she says go every 3-4 times a week, then another type of work out the other days. If you go everyday, your body will just adjust to the walking and it won't burn the fat the way it's supposed to. Also, you should be doing about 3 miles in…

I know what you mean about being embarrassed. This is what I thought people were thinking everytime I tried to exercise at the gym, walk, run, or bicycle - "Who does she think she is? Are you kidding me, it's obvious she doesn't belong here. She's doesn't know what she's doing. Give it up! It's not working." It takes a…

I just want to encourage you to look around at the people in your life who you admire (in real life - not the media). If you think about it, the thing that's really attractive about them is attitude. Is there anyone that you can honestly say that you admire that is constantly tearing themself apart, or is that a turn of in…
