I have worked in the alterations department of a wedding store. Please buy the size you are now; but, keep a few things in mind. The more beading on the dress, especially in the bodice on the side seams, the more time it will take to alter. Those beads have to be removed one by one, the seams altered, and then the beads…

Interesting tips! :flowerforyou: Thanks!

Oh, that sounds great!! Going to have to try this one! Thanks! :flowerforyou:

Going to try the cauliflower bread...sounds easy to make & nice alterative! Thanks!:flowerforyou:

I usually go to Subway. I find the spinach salad wonderful! I add some lettuce, tomatoes, green peppers and grilled chicken. The croutons are optional in a little package by themselves, so depending on my calories for the day, sometimes I use them, sometimes not. The package says they are 60 calories. I also use the…

This is sounding delish!! Added to my recipe book & will be trying it soon...thanks!!:flowerforyou:

Oh, I've done that three times!! Went into the hospital and each time, came out with a 10+ pound baby!! bwaahahaha!!:laugh:

Sounds yummy! Winter is right around the corner & I have already copied the recipe off for one of our first cooler days. Thank you for posting such an easy to make recipe!:happy:

LOL !!! Funny! :laugh:

Yep, spread it out...but stay on track. I have breakfast, snack, main meal in noon, then snack and usually a salad for evening meal and if I am hungry I will have an evening snack. Snacks are mainly fruits or fresh veggies. Take each day as it comes & do your best for that day...you will lose. Good first day back!!…

I agree with most everyone that it is probably just a fissure...but one other possibility that I found out about recently (TMI)...Eating Beets will cause you to piss and poop red. It can be very shocking, if you aren't aware. Haha! Just last week I cooked up some beets and my son went wild for them...thank goodness I did…

My advice is to take each day as it comes; do your best to live healthy that day and don't worry about the next. Each day wake up with a positive attitude and walk in place or around the block for 10 min. Pack yourself a healthy lunch, but don't forget a midmorning & an afternoon healthy snack. (I like celery w/peanut…

BUMP!! Look wonderful! Thanks!

bump!!! These are too funny!

:laugh: You don't have a square to spare??

This sounds so delicious; thanks for the recipe!

Good for you!! Love those NSV things!:flowerforyou:

What a wonderful day for you! Congrats!!!

You are doing amazing! Everyone has a few issues to deal with concerning overeating; depression, abuse, comfort...it doesn't matter what got someone to a certain weight. What does matter is educating oneself about how to handle the food issues. Do I wish that chocolate would find a new BBF? Of course!! But I know chocolate…

What a great job you are doing!! And you look so much happier!! Keep it going...Hugs, SisterC

Amazing!! You are just amazing! Congrats on living a healthy life....:flowerforyou:

Donate them to the food shelves in your area; that's what I did. Think I felt as good about that as I would have if I would haven eaten them! Stay strong, SisterC

Yes, the thrift stores are the best places to shop while you are changing sizes. Or friends that have clothes in your size to get rid of...Good luck and stay strong on your journey! Hugs, SisterC

My daughter swears by her morning coffee...older folks have said drinking hot water helps....don't keep taking too many things though; you don't want to 'explode' when things do start moving....good luck to you!

Welcome to the night llife!! I have worked the graveyard shift for allmost 7 years...takes a few weeks to get used to the change. This is how I manage....I sleep when I get home...wake about mid-afternoon, drink water & eat a hardboiled egg or something like that...then in about an hour I will exercise, do some household…

Congrats!! You are on the right path; taking it slow and steady is going to work and you will become a great role model for many people. Stick with the program of healthy eating and exercising; there are many others on this site that will support and encourage you along the way. Best of health to you on this wonderful…

Congrats to you!!!! Great way to begin a new year...Hugs, SisterC

Ahhh, life is so trying some times! While everyone has difficulties in life; just know that you are in charge of your eating. And stuffing yourself with everything to try to dull the pain doesn't help...trust me on that! And Asperger kids are special...they tend to look at life so different than the norm...my son has…

No surgery here either....constant healthy eating and enjoying life! Just decided that I have so much to live for plus setting an example for my kids and others...My son no longer thinks junk food is the way to go...instead of putting on the freshman 15...he has lost 15 because he is eating healthy at college even. Wishing…

So far, I am down 136 pounds....and working on the rest... Good luck to everyone on this journey! Hugs, SisterC
