also agree

thank you! Awesome article and reposting!!

i don't use dressing and because salad is min calorie I don't hesitate to dumping chicken/cheese in there... load up veggies and even nuts or dried fruit is good... but be careful not to overload it with too much calories :) good luck

What kind of doctor are you seeing?? I can't even imagine a licensed professional telling you it was ok to eat 600-900 calories a day?? eeek?? I would look for advice from another physician, eat healthier, and exercise... GOOD JOB on seeking others advice and making an effort to better your life. xo

I agree with adding more veggies... it seems like you are eating a ton of food but you really aren't... and the protein would make sense since by lifting weights you are building muscle... I tend to be hungrier in the evenings because I am not so on the go... if you figure out a way to make the appetite more even through…

3 months smoke free :) after 15 years.... I used patches for a month until I felt like I could get through the anxious moments... (my skin was irritated, but was better than smoking) I feel great and my husband, my father, and mother in law are also smoke free now too... GOOD LUCK

What don't I do?...I am an alarm clock (at random hours of the night), so I am on call, I am a chef (healthy one), I am a waitress, I am a maid, I am a referee, I am a landscaper, I am a hairstylist, I am a nurse, I am a drill sergeant, I am a taxi, I am a problem solver, I am lacking sleep, underpaid, no holidays off and…

haha 5 per side..!!

UPDATE WEEK TWO FOR THE KIDS :) They are doing awesome!! I am glad to be doing this with them. THEY really love the one on one time versus going as a group. It seems to be a great way to bond with your children and also doing something healthy... FEEL FREE to add me through this journey you all are taking as well! Thanks…

Regardless of them being in their natural state, they still have calories, carbs,sugar etc... they still are a part of caloric intake...I think you are correct in saying you would only be cheating yourself... Try starting fresh, but be fair to yourself! :) You can do this... !

Thank you all so so much...! I am going to do it... they are all on board, if any of them decide it is not for them, they don't have too.... as for joint issues.... ??? good point, but I am leaning to believe that the amount of exercise my kids already participate in this won't be an issue for them, not to mention they…

good to hear... :) add me and let me know how it goes!

LOL... What is Bump?? Like Bookmarking this Post??

peanut butter with something... :) protein and water seems to be the trick for a big burn for myself.... I love ya sissie... whatever you are doing, seems to be doing just fine! p.s. I answered and then read the site... Hummus is a good one, but I am a little confused by the iced coffee myself... ick to the belly!

here, try this site, may be better for you... http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

I think everyone is going to be different on this topic... Probably depends on elasticity, genetics, where you lose weight first/last... what type of exercises you do... etc... Hopefully, it just works out for your benefit... in the end, gravity wins for most of us ;)

I'm on neither side of this... I have felt both ways... Now, I just feel if you follow the food pyramid how can you go wrong?? Well balanced diet hasn't worked for people for hundreds of years?

vinegar is a natural anti-fungal... as far as weight loss goes, http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/apple-cider-vinegar-for-weight-loss/AN01816 this may help you... I like the mayo clinic advice

It is true... I am not sure how it happens, but even looking at my daughters, (age 5 and 9) they always want what the other has... Two very opposite children- one is tan, curvy, curly hair and the other is light skinned, string bean, straight hair... You try to teach them that they are who they are for a reason and they…

thanks for the heads up.... really scary, but glad you are ok!

YES, AND YOU LOOK AWESOME...!

I believe that you really mean that blesssed mommy... and I think that its awesome...

Glad you are getting the support!

I don't mean this in a rude way... because I have gone the no carb route and mainly protein... the thing is, you can't eat like this forever...and when you stop you gain weight with carbs, correct??? what happens next??

thank you very much!

I am on week 5... I honestly don't look buff, but I feel better, stronger, and my endurance is peaking.!!!

try blending some ice with sugar free flavors...
