A few years ago my great Aunt, who was more like a grandmother to me, fell ill and was in the hospital. My mom and I were in the emergency room with my Great Aunt. She was lying on the bed, lightly sleeping, and my mom was in the chair. I was standing by the bed, holding her hand and looking at her dear face. I turned…

I like to keep my carbs between 50-100 grams. I average around 80g. I have basically eliminated all grains/legumes/sugar from my diet. I do not limit myself on vegetable carbs or fruit carbs. I basically eat a Primal Diet, and it works for me. When I want something sweet, I will use Stevia or a small bit of honey, or fresh…

Betty White! If I can be as whitty and fun loving through life as she can, I am blessed!

My friend is a single mom and she also works two jobs. What she did when she kept coming home to a house that was a mess is that once the kids went to bed, she went around the house with a huge garbage bag and put all the stuff that was not put away at the end of the night into it, and then stored it out in the garage for…

I made and blogged about this recipe! It was delicious http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/LPCoder

Actually, the book, The Siren by Tiffany Reisz is really well written and much more accurate of the BDSM community. It actually has less of the sex and more of the emotional component in it. Not for the feint of heart!

I have been cooking from the following cookbooks and everything has been great so far! The Everyday Paleo Family Cookbook The Primal Blueprint Cookbook

BUMP!

I like that the links for the research are provided at the end of the article. Thanks for posting. If the research holds, then I am sure the FDA will get on top of it (unless some lobby group gets involved)

Hello, My name is Lisa. I used to skate as a youngster and gave it up when I discovered boys. Now that I am an empty-nester and have lost 70 pounds I started looking for something fun to do for exercise. I remembered how much I loved ice skating, so I went out and got a pair of skates and hit the ice (not literally, thank…

OK, Focusing on the eating first Alright then: Working only from what you posted which is this: 7:00 - 2 eggs+vegetables/yoghurt/wheatmeal(once in a while) 10:00 - whey powder (OR piece of fruit) 13:00 - soy meat/chicken breasts/+vegetables 16:00 - whey powder (or yoghurt/vegetables/almonds) 19:00 - soy meat/chicken…

OP: I understand the pressures of modeling and that the agency has weight and height limitations in your contract. So my advise will be two-fold. First of all, please open up your diary so that we can look at it. How can I tell you what you need to change if I can't see what you have been doing. Just listing the things you…

I went and looked at your diary, and there are only a few times you went over your goal (by 100 was the most). There are many days you don't log. I am wondering if you became more consistent and logged more carefully then you might have better success. If you have a bad day, still log it. You need to see the mistakes you…

Putting a cored, beefsteak tomato under the broiler until soft. then stuffing it with cooked mixed veggies and cooked ground turkey, beef or sausage. Top with a little bit of gorgonzola and put back under the broiler to melt the cheese. Can put on a bed of lettuce or spinach with a bit of blue cheese dressing or cottage…

I also think that if the local group would have a twice or thrice yearly outing based on the interests of the group. The outings would be a fun activity weekend like, hiking to a remote lake and fishing for the weekend, they could learn how to prepare several healthy fish dishes and then have a time to chat about weight…

If you look at advertising aimed at men, we can clearly see the expectations placed on men and the stigma if they fall short. My recommendation to you is to collect a few of the ads you see in men's magazines and talk about stereotypes and how that prevents men from getting support in groups. Look for ads that have: The…

I just ordered an Omron. It will measure BF%, Lean Muscle Mass and tell you your BMI. It is on sale at Walgreens, but you can only order it through the website. I am approaching my goal weight and I think at this point I am losing inches, but not weight, so I wanted a scale that will measure my BF% so I know what is going…

Try throwing your stuff in a blender, and adding a bit of almond butter, Then freeze it in a glass bowl for a great treat later!

Check out the Primal Blueprint cookbook. It has lots of recipes that are on the sweeter side of things that should satisfy your cravings. I also make Sugar-free chocolate that I keep in the freezer when I want a treat. I don't often crave, but sometimes it is nice.

There are cookbooks on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Just enter "coconut flour" into the search box!

I make Kale Chips in the oven. I flavor with bbq seasonings, Onion powder or garlic powder and then dip in yoghurt.

Replace your chair at your desk with a large exercise ball. During work you can bounce, squeeze, rotate your hips, pulse, and work those thighs, hips and buttocks.

This may sound crazy, but what did you do for fun as a kid? Often, doing the active things you enjoyed as a kid is a great way to enjoy exercise. When I was a kid, I ice skated. I recently bought a pair of ice skates and got back out onto the ice. I loved it! I have been adding in other things I did in high school and now…

I am probably the weird one, but I have no desire to eat candy. The sugar is so bad for me. I make my own SF chocolate made with quality cocoa powder and I keep it in the freezer. When I want a piece, I eat one and log it. I am one of those who bring the extra candy to the office. I work at a college and there is a steady…

Thanks! I see a general calisthenics, but not much more! Oh well, I'll just make it up as we go!

There are some great deals at Goodwill and Salvation Army. I used to think the clothes there would be yucky, but I went in and there is a lot of cute designer names. **Added** I noticed that my feet shrunk. I need new shoes. Heels, boots, running, etc.. Shoes are not something you can buy at the second hand store!

Sometimes thyroid problems stem from too much estrogen in the body and not enough Progesterone. You may want to look at eating organic to eliminate as much estrogen as possible and see if your thyroid levels come back to normal. There is also a progesterone cream that works wonders at bringing down the estrogen levels in…

What I am about to suggest may seem strange, but I do think it wil work for you. Stop stressing and move at an enjoyable pace. Do something active that you enjoy. ENJOY is the key word. If you stress about stuff, your cortisol levels will increase and you will not lose weight! Go out dancing, walk to the zoo, or museum, or…

Invest in a good omega 3 fish oil. Eliminate corn oil and canola oil. Don't buy processed foods. If it comes in a box, put it back on the shelf. It probably has hydrogenated oils. Your shopping cart should be full of fresh fruits and veggies. Buy lean meat, eliminate milk and switch to unsweetened almond milk. Add nuts…

Remember that there is the difference between having the girls lifted vs having implants. I am very tempted to get a lift. Nothing implanted, but just correcting what gravity destroyed! I will not do a thing until I reach my goal weight and maintain it for a year though. The extra year will give my skin a chance to shrink…
