my daughter loves anything cake batter

Never settle you are worth the extra work and effort. {{{HUGS}}} Congratulations on your journey and success.

She is your Mom AND that doesn't make her right, kind or give unconditional love. (from experience) Keep on keeping on. {{{HUGS}}}

fantastic you look and I suspect feel, like a totally different person. Congratulations on the fantastic job. Now the second job begins, keeping it off. I only say this as someone who has lost 100# 3 times in my life and am back to lose it once again. Again, you look fantastic. Awesome job. {{{HUGS}}}

In an attempt to stop the emotional eating which leads to binges for me, I put together this list of things to do instead of eating. Just finished it today so not certain how this will work. My theory is to get my mind on anything else and off the desire to eat NOW. I blogged the list at…

Also from reading on here, the males may do better with the "cheat" days than females. Just an observation. Nothin' scientific about it LOL

I find it more helpful for me if I think of all food as "healthy" vs "less healthy." I can choose to eat very healthy or choose to eat less healthy. The word "cheat" puts such a bad connotation on the food for me. I'm changing my relationship with food and working on changing how I "label" or think about food. When I did…

Make them with Breeze unsweetened Almond Milk. And watch the type of protein they use. I googled protein shakes for lactose intolerant and found this as well as much much more. http://www.livestrong.com/article/312924-protein-shakes-for-the-lactose-intolerant/

Matrix 2.0 has a great Mint Chocolate Cookie Shake. Very yummy. They have other flavors as well that are tasty. This is a company that you can get a sample of all their flavors to try (only place you can get a sample pack) http://www.mybariatricpantry.com I've tried Julian Michael's and didn't like it at all. Ended up…

21 and 24 I am able to enjoy them as adults as I was early forties when they became adults. Daughter waited until 29. I think she is a much better Mom than me as she has more maturity to deal with a little one. Other daughter waited until 33. She has 3 now. Again much more mature. Also probably less energy than I had at…

That video is painful, yet funny!! One of my pet peeves is ppl that say muscle weighs less than fat. I'm so glad this was a joke this morning!! Thanks for giving me a laugh.:laugh:

At the beginning of February I was using a walker with a seat so I could rest whenever I needed to. Today I did 3 hours in the pool of walking, weights, and pool side calisthenics. I started s l o w. Fairly quickly, I noticed changes in my ability to walk, stand and just move in general. I kept telling myself, "I challenge…

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/5656-prednisone-weight-gain Check out this new group for folks on Prednisone. This evil drug is known to cause moon-face, muscle mass destruction, adding fat around the middle, making it difficult to lose weight AND to prevent rejection.

AMEN

I've been on 5mg of Prednisone for over 2 years. At the beginning of this month, the doctor cut it in half to see if I can totally get off of it. I am on this evil drug to prevent rejection of my new heart (transplant 12/31/09). I've gained 30 ish # since the transplant. I'm still learning what I have to do to lose weight.…

The last time I lost weight I lived alone. It was so much easier to just avoid the foods in the store than in the store and at home. Now I live with my daughter, SIL and grandson. I do the cooking and grocery shopping BUT I don't dictate what the menu is. I try to do meals as close to healthy as possible and when it isn't…

Please post answers to the bellow questions Questions 1. Try to pinpoint the times when you were tempted to break your diet or overeat. What were the main causes? Were you anxious or angry? How about depressed or stressed? If you do eat during these times, how specifi- cally did it make you feel? Content or safe? Numb or…

I recently found some Quinoa Pasta. Used it with spaghetti sauce and it was tasty.

Please post answers to the bellow questions to the group (or you can keep them private if you prefer). Questions 1. How hard is it for you to see emotional eating in your life? Is it very visible? If so, describe the instances you’ve got in mind. Do you think instances like this are the main obstacle to you losing weight?…
