In the US, Carson Piere Scott has a brand called Rafaella, which offers women the choice of style. Some have more narrow waist with more hip room, some have wider waists with more narrow thighs... I love that brand!

Why don't you make a real corporate fitness challenge. Have them all join here and set up a private group for your company only. Then add up all the weight people want to lose in a given time period. Each person can contribute a dollar for every pound that they lose in that time period to be given to a charity of your…

Healthy eating is vital for children to learn. Include him the cooking of meals. Show him the choices, and explain why one is better than the other. Have a small white board to write the recipes on and have him check them off as you go. You can praise the food helps you make as you eat it. Try logging in at…

***On a side note*** There is a child I know that has ADHD and the school approved the use of a ball instead of a desk chair. Being able to bounce has helped him keep his focus so much better! If any of you have children with ADHD it might be a good idea to give this a try! Beeps: you might try approaching HR with the idea…

No longer a Couch-potato, but a Ball-Belle! I don't know if I mentioned this before, but I have a large exercise ball at home. Because I am on my computer a lot with the TV in the background, I bought it so I could sit on it instead of the chair. I bounce, I squeeze it between my thighs, I pulse up and down, I roll my…

The Painful Heel is a common symptom of dieting. The lack of fatty pad on the heel is to blame; the heel bone is pressing on the skin of the foot from pressure. "The fat in the heel is like a springy cushion that carries the weight of the body. Standing on a heel in which this fat is missing or reduced must obviously be…

When you are doing your research, pay attention to the TYPES of carbohydrates under study. Refined and processed carbs are not good for you on a regular basis (once in awhile treat is different), compared to whole grain, complex carbohydrates. Also achieving a balance between carbs, fats and proteins is essential. The…

I have a medium to large frame, (as calculated based on bone widths), and I don't look good without a little muscle definition. I need muscle toning to support my frame and give me a healthy look. That doesn't mean I go to the gym to work weights. I can do all the toning I need at home, or in my Zumba class just by adding…

I am not meaning to be harsh, however... First of all, based on her recent reactions, I think she has figured out you were following her, which, by the way is stalker-like behavior. I would not want a guy to follow me home before introducing himself. I would be going to the cops, changing my bus routine, and asking friends…

I had 80 pounds to lose and I knew that I would have transition clothes to buy. I started at a Women's 18-20. I lost 25 and had to buy a few key pieces. I bought pants (trousers for my UK Friends), and a few shirts, blouses and few sweaters. I bought everything a bit snug and I quickly lost more weight. I am going shopping…

Been eating steel cut for years. Can't stand the other stuff! @veerobillard: Try stevia instead of splenda. Stevia is a great way to sweeten naturally.

When I want your creamy, chilled goodness I buy just a small, serving and then I got out to my freezer in the garage and pull out two thin mint girl scout cookies and crumble them on top. I am satisfied! I sometimes play a game, the only time I can have ice cream is when I hear the Ice Cream truck song!

Welcome dawnblu! I love rafting! I love canoeing/kayaking even more. I go up to the boundry waters when I can (which is not nearly enough!) Good luck with your weight loss! Hi JSheehy! doing a 5K by October is a very attainable goal. I love hazelnut with my chocolate! I work with a doctor on my weight loss, and just came…

Based on some of the other symptoms you just wrote about, High, unopposed estrogen is a possibility. The progesterone cream is not expensive ($40.00) if your should test low on progesterone.

Use low fat mozzarella, and switch the sun dried tomatoes to fresh tomatoes. The pita makes a difference too! I have it down to 300 per serving!

You might want to have your saliva tested for your hormone levels to discover if that is the reason for your hypothyroidism. If your estrogen is too high, and not enough progesterone in your system, that can lead to hypothyroidism. This is one of the reasons people can gain weight while on birth control meds. If this is…

A few of questions: What is your age? and... Have you had your saliva tested for your hormonal levels? and... Do you know the cause of your hypothyroidism?

Oban!

There is a lot of flavor for the calories! Something to way up your tastebuds!

Often if the kids help prepare the meal, they will at least try to eat it. No guarantee they will like it, but at least they will try it. Also, if kids are hungry enough, they will eat. Try eliminating any unhealthy snacks. Also, Instead of instant mac & cheese, make your own mac & cheese casserole, substituting half the…

This is tasty hot or cold! Makes for an easy meal to take to the office.

Welcome Agefyter! Great job on the weight loss!

It is good both warm and cold so you can take it to work, on a picnic, or serve it out on the patio! It is really quick too!

Sorry, no nutrition information on it. Because you can put on whatever you like and because some people will use refrigerated pizza dough and some will use pitas... the nutrition information changes.

Mary123: (LP or LPC is fine **giggle**) I have Capezio's Canvass top. I like the support this particular model has. I found that there is no twisting of the knee joint. You need to order a half size up. Thank you for your friend request. Beeps & Swissmiss: I hope your struggles with your bodies get better. I used to get…
