Thanks everyone! Never heard of babyzone on my way there now.

Tbyrd, I can't stand the smell of meat cooking right now. I'm eating very little meat- turkey and chicken is somewhat bearable but beef and pork is repulsive. I wasn't sick at all for my first pregnancy- so this morning noon and night sickness is pretty much new to me. I can't fathom a healthy vegetarian pregnancy without…

Jenks, I might need you later for more advice. I got really sick yesterday. My arms and legs got really heavy, I felt weak all over and all shaky. I suspect low sugar, but can't call my Doc till tomorrow. It's too early for gestational diabetes- isn't it?

This isn't a bad menu. The only thing I would worry about is buttter or excessive fats (cream sauces), but the use of those differ from one kitchen to another. Over all, a healthy menu. In my opinion, order what most appeals to you, then leave half on your plate.

I understand, what you're going through. As a step-mom to two juvenile delinquents whom I rarely see eye to eye (but love deeply), I've been in similar situations. I hate to say it, but you've already done the most you can do. She is an adult, after all. You expressed your knowledge of the situation, concern, and warned…

You should go swimming tomorrow to make up for it. I took the kids to the pool today and kept moving the entire time... treading water or swimming, I burned 1,715 calories! Whoa. That's a lot of cheesecake. :)

Takeaway = take-out, right?

Wow. Good article. I always felt that the weight chart was a little off. Slightly overweight looks healthy. My goal weight is 150 (I'm 5'3). The charts say I should be 104-127. I know that I look good and feel good at 170- or at least I did the last time I weighed that.... ;) I'm happy to see someone supporting my take on…

59 lbs. since February 16, 2009

Wow! You've done great!!!! You look great! Of course, you were beautiful to begin with. The pictures that show off your body shape best IMO, would be either of the first two for your bf pic and the orange outfit for your after. You look great in the dresses, but I'd say the other ones would work better for this purpose.…

Thanks for posting- it's a good article. I don't think they sell Keifer (or whatever it is) in my town. The rest of it is in my usual diet. Still, a good reminder of what I'm doing right. Thanks again.

Foods that have empty calories that I've eaten today (a confession): 4. mini snickers 5. mini kit kat

I have a recipe for waffles, my Mom and I call them 'Oaty Waffles' One ripe banana mashed 2 C water 2 C old fashioned oatmeal 1 tsp vanilla 1 packet Truvia or 2 T honey handful of dried blue berries crasins or cherries handful of walnuts, crushed pinch of cinnamon (optional) Mix it all together, let it rest (it will…

I'm going to try this tonight- only with a few changes to make it super low cal. I'm going to use watermelon, water, squeeze 1/2 a lemon, and use Truvia (awesome, natural no-cal sweetener from the herb steevia) to sweeten it. I'll let you know how it goes.

my sis once paid everything but the late charge and they shut off her gas anyway- I swear to God over $5.00 !!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so my town must be even smaller than the previous posters- I'd never heard of Zumba!!! But I did google it and wow does that look like fun!!!!!

I bet these ppl that called you a calorie counting nazi have a few pounds they could afford to lose themselves. :tongue: Don't let it get to you, I'm sure your family and friends don't mean to hurt you. But yes, pushing the sweets on you could very well be an act of enabling. Why the heck do people do that, anyway?? They…

Yummies, this looks good.

What I see is a much healthier body. Way to go!!!

A lot of great advice, thank you for the inspiration. I have so much to lose, I really need to see that YES it can be done.

Hello & welcome! Wii fit helped me immensely, but I had fallen so badly out of shape starting an exercise routine was out of the question. I was wiped out, badly fatigued and in pain if I stood up for longer than 5- 10 minutes. My mom bought wii fit and lost 25 lbs. in 6 weeks, I splurged and got myself one too. I started…

I've got 138 lbs. to go, reading this gives me leaps and bounds of hope. Thank you.

My cousin lost a lot of weight with his videos, she got me to try it out with her and I had a blast. I remember laughing so hard I pulled something in my side. I'd love to see that picture- you should post it as your avatar!!!!

you click on the Exercise tab, go to 'database' in the sub menu, then use the drop down menu where it says search here or choose one..... I had to check it out for myself. I plan on cleaning my butt off this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for posting this- it's a good reminder for all of us.

Wow. That answered all my questions. Really. All of them.

Oh my goodness!!!! You've lost 104 lbs.???? That is incredible. It really gives me a boost to meet people like you- I have 141 lbs. to lose and it''s rather intimidating. Wow. That is just incredible.

My best friend is a belly goddess. She is so cute and curvy, on one hand, I wish I looked cute fat, but on the other she gets asked if she's pregnant all the time. The last time it happened, she cried for two days- I was trying to console her when she asked me why I never get asked 'the question'. I told her; 'Because I'm…

Did you see that 'I can make you thin' on TV last fall? Paul McKenna has some great techniques for breaking those habits. He combines the best elements of other successful weight loss programs. No diets, just a combination of hypnosis, conditioning and psychology.

What I love about this article, is that it makes perfect sense to me. This is basically what I live by day to day. I just figured it out on my own. I only eat whole- unprocessed grains, whole foods, raw when possible. (I've always said that the more digested it is before you eat it, the more likely it will make you fat).
