heehee, I can't stop giggling :laugh: I literally have tears in my eyes. And THAT'S how you start a Monday :wink:

Thanks. I've tried a fiber supplement, but it didn't seem to be helping. Maybe I wasn't taking enough? I've actually got flax seed. It kinda got pushed to the back of the fridge and I forgot about it. I'll start using it again. Tracy, what brand of stool softener do you use?

Not having to slide the seat back to get in/out of the car!!

I don't know enough about the "good" brands to recommend anything. And really, it's going to be different for every person. I will tell you that the brand my son got was Brooks. I also got a new pair that I'm not happy with, Asics. They felt good (on the inside of the shoe, to my feet), walking around the store, but trying…

Easier said than done. My son went to Fleet Feet and spent $140 and tried over a dozen pairs of shoes recommended by the "fitter" and still got a crap pair.

My son got some shoes recently and he has complained that they make his ankle roll. He says it feels like the base of the shoe is smaller than the sole of his foot, causing his foot to "roll off".

The IMG has to be in lowercase :) That looks really swollen!

As far as making your own....I've seen health food stores that had grinders right there in the store, with bulk nuts, and you could grind it yourself. I've also made almond butter in a $10 coffee grinder :) Don't think I'll do THAT again (very hard to clean up) but it worked in a pinch!

Anyone else picturing a butcher's shop in the middle of a morgue?

After reading this thread.....I know what I'm having for breakfast! :laugh:

I don't think it's a matter of practice - because one pair of sneakers is much better than the other - so I think it's just that those shoes are intended for running and not jumping around :tongue: I've been doing zumba for 2 months now and it's not getting any better. It's not like I can't do it in those shoes (either…

Jillian. When she says, "Just a few more" and it's really like 20 more!!

I have 2 pairs of good sneakers, and one pair is way better than the other for Zumba, but neither compares to how I feel barefoot. I can't justify buying a third pair. Honestly, I go barefoot whenever possible so I'm hoping my feet are a little tougher than than average joe. I'll try it tonight and if they hurt tomorrow…

Well yeah, I meant in a class, lol. If I was at home I'd do it any ol' way I felt like :tongue: I'll check tonight to make sure they allow it. I *do* have very high arches, that might be a problem. But I swear I trip over my own feet with shoes on and I'm much more "graceful" barefoot. I think I might get a better workout.

Your co-worker is an idiot. I have a tv but no cable or satellite. I do have Netflix but I bet I don't turn it on but maybe once a month. I haven't watched "tv" in years and I don't miss it at all. I WISH I hadn't had a tv in the house when my son was growing up. All tv is is advertising anyway. From the shows to the…

"Imagine you're a deer. You're prancing along, you get thirsty, you spot a little brook, you put your little deer lips down to the cool clear water... BAM! A ****in bullet rips off part of your head! Your brains are laying on the ground in little bloody pieces! Now I ask ya. Would you give a **** what kind of pants the son…

Listen to your body. Eat when you're hungry. Everyone is different. Do what works for YOU.

I like to make my own. 4 ingredients, super easy!! Or play around with it and try different spices. 1 can Eden Organic black soy beans No Sodium 2 Tbsp Bob's Almond flour (you could use regular flour) 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp garlic powder Mash it all up with a potato masher and form into patties. Fry, grill, bake, broil,…

When I was 39 I vowed I would be thin by my 40th birthday. When my 40th came, I was even heavier than the year before. The lightbulb went off and I acknowledged I hadn't done a damn thing to get rid of the weight and it wasn't going to magically disappear. I realized that only I could make it happen. This is what I live by…

OMG, smoked almonds! If you look at my diary you'll see how much I love smoked almonds, lol. Not so much lately cuz my stash ran out (stocked up when they were BOGO, waiting for the next sale now). But yeah, smoked almonds, mmmmm... Ask your hubby if being 100 pounds overweight is healthy!: Who is he to tell you what…

Thank you!! I will definitely check out those diets you mentioned. Nah, they don't freak me out. I know what works me for. I wish they wouldn't criticise my choices when I don't criticise theirs. I recognize that one way of eating/weight loss does not work for everybody and I respect their right to eat what they want. I…

Jonski! :) Ugh, out of avocados, and I don't keep anything sweet in the house (no syrup). I'm just gonna stop by the store on the way and grab some strawberries and blackberries. But I will definitely remember your suggestion for next time! You need a vacation, stop walking so much!!!!

Except I don't want to kick myself out of ketosis. I'm not here to debate whether or not low-carb is "healthy", I just want advice from experienced low-carbers who aren't going to preach to me.

Nope, don't get dizzy. In fact, some days I have less than 10 carbs (and 4 are from my vitamins!), and I FEEL GREAT! My energy levels are so consistent now, not spikes and crashes anymore. It's made an amazing difference in my life. That's all carbs - after substracting for fiber which doesn't get digested so therefore…

I'm going to post this in the main area because I need an answer pretty soon. Please disregard this thread.

THANK YOU.
