  • Hide food diaries?? LOL I didn't even know that was a option! LOL Probably because they don't want to bore people with what they ate all day...if I knew how I totally would hide mine...LOL!! Have to look into that! =) Happy Thursday!!

  • I love your story. You look absolutely beautiful! I admire how you overcame your eating disorders and are now on a healthy track, I'm sure that wasn't easy for you. Keep up the good work...and remember your mental health is just as important as your physical!! GREAT JOB!! =)

  • I think I put that I was "sedentary" because I work at my desk pretty much the entire day. But after work, I'm ALL over the place! Just looked at the "scoobyworkshop" website you referenced below and I love it!! Thanks for responding...apparently I'm eating 1/2 the amount I should be!!!! I'm losing weight...haven't hit any…

  • Thanks for your feedback! I was looking at as I was almost losing a 1/2 day of food and thinking...that can't be right! lol I will have to watch my weight a little closer (something I really haven't been doing) and use that as an indicator!

  • You could have low iron. Try taking a supplement. I sit behind a desk all day long as well and find it helpful to walk around once an hour. Even it that means walking to the bathroom or to get water. You could try to get to the gym during lunch as well. It's a great way to break up the day and re-energize yourself.…

  • I own a Blendtec...and I absolutely LOVE it! It is as good as the Vitamix...Vitamix is expensive because it pays for alot of advertising (FoodNetwork etc.) Blendtec is the brand that is used in Starbucks for their frappucinos...it's great!

  • I love this one and it also great for kids! 1 cup of almond milk (vanilla or plain) 1 banana 1 tbsp of peanut butter 1 tbsp of oatmeal (not the instant one) 1 tbsp of wheatgerm Ice cubes It's delish and high in fiber and protein! =) Enjoy!

    in Chicken......Again???? Comment by nnm1976 May 2013
  • I've found the best way to stay within my budget is to create a weekly / monthly meal plan. To keep things simple I've designated days where we eat certain things to ensure that my family has a variety (i.e. Monday - Vegetarian, Tuesday, - Fish, Wednesday - Chicken, Thursday - Leftover day, Friday - Open, ect.). I map out…

  • Honestly, I think it is a personal preference, either way you get the same nutritional value...unlike flax seeds, whole chia seeds are digestible, so you can eat them whole. However, if you soak them in water, they form a gel and I feel that the gel is easier to use in drinks, smoothies or to cook with. Someone once told…

  • I gain 5-10lbs ALL THE TIME!! I also crave anything salty and chocolatey! It's water weight, I usually amp up my workouts around that time and try to eliminate anything salty (easier said than done sometimes). Don't get discouraged! You will be back to normal soon enough!

  • I LOVE Luna Bars...so tasty! I eat one when I'm in a rush and need a quick snack. My personal favorite is the Lemon Zest one. They don't taste like cardboard and you can find them anyway!

  • I know it can be expensive, but maybe you should consider a trainer. I've found that having a trainer to jump start my workouts was a huge help! He put me on the path that I needed to go on, because prior to him I was kind of roaming the gym and doing a little of this and that. Now I go with a purpose/ plan. I know that…

  • Fasting/ cleansing/ detox although new to this part of the world is something that is practiced around the world for many reasons (mostly religious) and all the time, it's generally a discipline. I'm not opposed to cleansing/ detox and I've done everything from the Lemonade (extreme cleansing) to Clean diets (light…
