Aw... you are very welcome. Do you know how to publicize your diary? Just click the food tab, then click "settings" and at the bottom of the page select "public" for the food diary privacy settings, or friends only. Mine is set for "friends only" but I'll send you a friend request right now. :bigsmile:

Some foods don't have any fiber. :laugh: But yeah, there's a lot of misinformation or incomplete information on here, but if you go with the entry with the most confirmations, it's usually accurate. Or you can check it here --> http://www.nutritiondata.com/

Ps. How about making your food diary public (viewable by others) so we can check on you?

Aw... well welcome back! Don't make this a crash diet, just try some new foods that are healthy and make your favorite healthy foods a bigger part of your diet. You have some great reasons to take care of your body! Remember this isn't about being "skinny" or "hot" or anything like that, it's about being healthy. It's good…

My weight is ALWAYS up after a high sodium day. I changed my goals to keep under 2000 mg of sodium a day and track that on my food diary. That one's a struggle for me... but it's getting easier. And with more whole natural foods, you get to where processed/convenience foods taste REALLY salty and you don't want them as…

I'm a very conservative Christian woman who has strong convictions on Christian women "adorning themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly" as 1 Timothy 2:9 states. You're covered. And there's nothing suggestive about your pose. If you were in a bikini, it would be a different discussion, but I really see…

Coffee and tea both have health benefits, but tea has a few more... especially green tea. Coffee is my most used caffeinator of choice with some vanilla soymilk and stevia. Just be sure not to sweeten with Equal/Splenda/SweetnLow or you might as well be drinking the diet soda. Oh and there are actually some calorie-free…

<--- Aspartame-Free Girl I very very rarely get sick with a cold or anything, never get headaches unless I'm really sleep-deprived (and then a nap fixes it), don't suffer from allergies (when I used to wake up every morning feeling like I had a cold being so stuffed up with ichy eyes and the whole 9 yards....), my skin is…

Measuring cups. Many of my drinking glasses hold 2 (8oz) cups of water. Measure it once to find out how much yours hold. :drinker:

Mmm... eating cranberry-cherry-almond oatmeal this morning! :love:

Do you have any calories left for them? If I don't, I normally either go burn some calories (try jumping jacks for ten minutes if nothing else!) or distract myself with doing something on the computer away from food, talking to somebody on the phone, or maybe have some hot tea with stevia if I have no calories left. Good…

I'm so sorry. I feel like I know you from seeing your picture and posts on here. You always seem so upbeat and fun and I know you were just talking about wanting to have another baby. Your words in this post convey how unspeakably devastated you are right now and I'm sorry I don't have words to make it better. Every single…

Tee hee.. I'm the sister! :bigsmile: Just noticed we had a friend in common, Susan!

How do I love thee, Cranberries, let me count the ways... Try heating them in a sauce pan with nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, little brown sugar, and orange juice. Stir as they start to pop and it makes this amazing sauce that's wonderful over vanilla ice cream OR turkey or chicken! Or, add them to an apple pie recipe.…

OOoo... good point. Didn't think of that one but you're right.

Did you get enough sleep last night or could you be coming down with something? Those are the normal reasons I get headaches. How about the timing of your meals... you said you get more than 1200 calories a day, so that's good... but are you eating breakfast lunch and dinner and snacks or lumping those calories into just 1…

It's not particularly for Christmas shopping, but check out southernsavers.com for great grocery/drug store deals! I :heart: it!

Water, fiber, yogurt, and coffee are the best things I can recommend. Those are all a big part of my diet and I actually never ever ever have a problem with constipation. Good luck!

Significant weight loss can definitely affect your hormones because fat cells produce estrogen and when your ovaries are accustomed to this and suddenly THEY're responsible for much more estrogen production, things can get out of whack as they figure this out. I lost 85 pounds on weight watchers about 4 years ago, after…

While oatmeal IS a carb, it's a high-fiber, whole, natural carb that, if I'm not mistaken, has the highest protein level per gram of any grain. Oatmeal good.... :love:

Stevia isn't a fake sugar. Stevia is an herb. Splenda is basically sugar bleach... sugar that's been molecularly-altered in a test tube. Sucralose (splenda), aspartame (equal), sacchrine (sweet & low) etc are all fake, artificial, manmade substances. Stevia, as an herb, has antioxidants which reduce free radicals in your…

I didn't read all the posts, but, having personal experience with this type of situation let me say this... him even GENUINELY wanting to change is not enough. He has habits and patterns of response and maybe even psychological disorders to solve that he MUST do on his own. If you love him, you'll encourage him to seek…

I do stir-fry over rice. Just heat up some frozen stir-fry veggies in a skillet with ginger, garlic, and a little amino acids, and sometimes with chicken, sometimes with tofu or tempeh. Serve over the rice and if you needs more saltiness add a little more amino acids or soy sauce. I also put refried beans, cut corn, salsa,…

How about instead of green beans having a potato and smothering it in coconut oil? That would add some dairy-free, yeast-free, sugar-free calories! :smile:

My faves are Santa Monica - Everclear Just a Girl - No Doubt Open Road Song - Eve6 The Distance - Cake I'll try to add more later. :smile:

I just added mine to my profile. I love seeing everybody's before and after pictures! I have before, after, and after that. Now I'm working on my after THAT pictures. lol :laugh:

I live in GA too! Just barely though... in the northwest corner near Chattanooga, TN. It's SOOOOO beautiful though. Welcome to MFP! It's super helpful!

I love how this has gotten like 350 views... you put sex in the title and EVERYBODY wants to read it! lol :laugh:
