I understand the whole "Authentic" thing for the Ren Faire. Go to the tanners stall and buy yourself a good soft leather satchel. Then go to a CHEAP store and buy a lunch bag made of the diving suit material (you will be cutting it up!) Cut the lunch bag to fit inside the leather satchel and voila! you have a period…

Grill a portobello mushroom cap the night before and put in a microwave dish. Combine your favorite cheese, meat and veggies in a baggie for toppings. In my work fridge I keep a jar of salsa. When you are ready to eat, put salsa on top of the cap, and cover with your toppings, microwave until all melty! I like to use blue…

1 egg/3white omlet with blue cheese, onion, broccoli, peppers, mushrooms and a bit of salsa.

Habe your Dr. test for gluten intolerance. I eliminated gluten and it was the best thing I ever did! I also have eliminated processed flours. I use Coconut, Almond and Flax flours. I am a happy person now! Also, sugar can be a problem for GERD.

I had terrible GERD. I took meds for it and it never went away completely. I went off gluten and I have no more GERD. I am perfectly happy cooking with coconut flour, Almond flour and flax flour! I also went off processed cane sugar completely. I use Stevia, honey and tiny amounts of brown sugar.

I see that you struggle with depression. Perhaps these recent feelings are a result of depression. Check your medications and be sure your dosage is adjusted properly if you are taking meds for your depression. Then take a deep breath and know that these feelings are not permanent, they will pass and continue to keep…

If you don't mind bursting out in laughter try the Nice Girls Don't series by Molly Harper. I LMAO listening to it.

PLEASE! adult posters, consider the advise you are giving this 18 year old young adult. Her goal weight is 80lbs!

You are 18 years old and weigh about 97lbs according to your ticker. You have a goal of 80 LBS? Unless you are in the 4'5" height range, your goal is not realistic nor is it healthy. Please get some professional perspective on HEALTHY body weight.

Actually, too much phytoestrogens have been linked with all sorts of negative effects on your body, including weight gain and cancer. The only thing that provides balance to excess estrogen in the body is progesterone, which is made in the corpus luteum on the ovaries. Also, phytoestrogens have been found in high…

I love the unsweetened vanilla almond milk. If you stop and think about cow's milk, the main purpose for it is so that calfs will quadruple their birth weight within the first year. I don't need to be doing that! Also, the placement of the udders under the body, below where the cow urinates and defecates is just repelling…

vegetable carbs (as opposed to grain carbs) have a high content of fiber and are very good for you. Likewise, fresh fruits are needed for a health diet. Fruits are higher in carbs, but they are also high in fiber and the way the carb chains are configured in fruits are such that they are converted into a type of ATP that…

With the help of my doctor and an elimination diet (with the goal of determining which foods were trigger foods) I figured out that though I am not allergic to gluten, I do react negatively to it. I have replaced wheat, rye and other breads with homemade bread from coconut, almond and/or flax flours. Corn is an option, but…

In RE to low-carb eating, try to find a good recipe book on cooking with Coconut flour, Cooking with Almond Flour and cooking with Flax seed flour. Those three flours will be your best friends. I make a variety of homemade breads with these flours and lots of "treats" as well. Stevia and coco powder can be a treat when…

I used to get leg cramps whenever I ate Asparagus. Did you have asparagus recently?

Oc course my SO knows how much I weigh and he cares, in a good way. He knows my goals and he supports me unconditionally. He was just as concerned about how my weight was effecting my health as I was. A year ago, we discussed my health, I found a good weight loss doctor and started to lose weight. I also shared my goals…

I have been eating a low carb diet for the past year and I feel great. Most of my carbs are from fruits and vegetables. before I started doing the low carb, I would have horrible GERD. Since I switched to low carb, my GERD has disappeared. I RARELY have anything with sugar in it anymore. I make my own treats and bread at…

This was great. Thanks for posting!

She is also corseted in that picture! LOL!

Calculation your frame size: 1) Extend your arm in front of your body, bending your elbow at a 90 degree angle to your body so that your forearm is parallel to your body. 2) Keep your fingers straight and turn the inside of your wrist towards your body. 3) Please your thumb and index finger in the two prominent bones on…

Marilyn Monroe size 14: Just a reminder that sexy and size doesn't mean size 2

You have a lower BMI than 71% of females aged 45-59 in your country (US) You have a higher BMI than 61% of females aged 45-59 in the world I was surprised at the US statistic! I am 5'6" and weigh 166. Somehow that just doesn't seem right.

Actually, please remember that all model photos are digitally altered. Blemishes are magically removed, rolls are just a swept away with the brush of a mouse. Don't compare yourself to pictures you find in magazines or websites.

Of course! It is a must watch every time it pops on the telly.

"Put ze candle back!" Sorry wrong movie! **giggle** "Now if only we had a holocaust cloak!"

You just wiggled your finger!
