The good news is that spices aren't something that you should have to buy repeatedly. Seconding buy meat in bulk as much as possible if you've got the freezer space to do it.

I moved from Florida to British Columbia. I miss fried yellow squash. I could make it if I could find it. :-( I miss being able to buy any Keebler cookies, particularly Grasshoppers. I also miss Moon Pies. Canadian Girl Guide cookies and American Girl Scout cookies are not the same thing.

I love bread. I miss it, but I still have it on occasion. If I'm going to have it, though, it's homemade in my own kitchen. The catch is, it takes 4 hours to make. So, yeah, I have to *really* want it to go through all of the effort. I love a good turkey sandwich on my homemade, multigrain bread. I just hate how it screws…

I have to admit, I just plain didn't enjoy the Push circuit, and I ended up quitting in my third week. Not because it was hard, but because it was just so... not fun. I didn't have that same feeling of accomplishment when I finished a workout, and I didn't look forward to doing it. It was more like a chore. I had a lot of…

THIS is what I was trying to get at. There's no forcing or making battles about food. I'm not going to force my toddler to eat Brussels sprouts. I love them, he and his father hate them. However, they love peppers and I hate those. So, both are available and what's eaten is what's eaten.

That I agree with. :-) I'm certainly not saying that it's impossible to get your kids to eat well; mine do. I just refuse to be militant or... well, nasty about getting them to eat. Good food shouldn't be a battle. But all the same, it's not black and white, you know?

Um, how is that "wrong"? Is it wrong that I said you can't force a kid to eat? You advocate beating your children if they don't eat? Seriously? And this is how you promote a healthy relationship with food? That's great. And, yeah, that's sarcasm. I have no objection to spanking when it's necessary, but it's a matter of…

To some extent. You can't FORCE a kid to eat things. I tried to push the issue with my fifteen year old when he was five. I was going to MAKE him eat that broccoli. He ate it all right... and made himself throw up on the table. My two year old will throw things that he doesn't like on the floor and will go hungry before…

There are a lot of reasons for it. Inactive lifestyle can be attributed to safety (parents are reluctant to just fire their kids out into the neighborhood to play with all the scary things on the news), lack of parental time/energy, and lack of safe and convenient play space... with computers and video games filling the…

No, those are called Smarties. :-) Caramilk bars. Kindersurprise eggs (though those might not make it across the border). Coffee Crisp.

I only have two words: Manager. Now. People in customer service should know better than to comment on appearance. I say this as someone who worked her way through university by working in a grocery store.

The B12 and Magnesium supplements were actually suggested by my neurologist. That helped a lot. For me, I have a headache every single day, but I didn't think that it was chronic migraines until that's the label that the neurologist slapped on it. I've found that my biggest trigger (which made me really sad) was Storck…

And you don't see how that's attacking someone else's beliefs? I'm not Christian. I'm Pagan. I still found that offensive. And that you don't see how that could be considered attacking someone else's beliefs is just pathetic. Yet you lose sleep over the eating habits of other people. Wow.

What do you think would happen to these domesticated species if we stopped farming them for food? Do you think that these domesticated species will be able to suddenly fend for themselves? Doubtful. Just like I doubt that my Chihuahua could fend for himself without having a human to care for him.

I eat them because they taste good. I don't, however, eat animals that I know personally. My preference is animals that are humanely raised and humanely slaughtered. That's why I don't eat veal or fois gras. It's why I buy free range eggs. I don't, however, care for the OP's declaration that I cannot possibly be a "real"…

My dogs generally don't bother me anymore. My kids are the problem. ;-) In all seriousness, though, my dogs actually kind of encourage fitness. They both like to go on walks, and I don't like walking on sidewalks and streets. It bores me. So that means that we'll go for walks on the trails in our area. I take my chihuahua…

I was on the floor doing bench presses when my chihuahua came up and started licking my nose. And my borber collie kept nudging my arm and staring. They wanted outside.

I love Effexor. It's not affecting my weight loss. And it works for helping my chronic migraines and my depression, so win/win. I'm taking a very low dose and still finding it effective.

It's still better than some of the posts that show up. You're still working on English. Would you rather someone politely correct you so that you can improve, or ignore it? My Spanish is... not that great, and I've forgotten a lot since I haven't used it in a long time. To make it even worse, I learned from the Spanish…

And I'd be okay with that. Whatever inmate is kind enough to commit this public service homicide should get some kind of awesome perk for it.

Are either of you into genealogy? I'd suggest if you are, then pull names from your family trees. (It's actually how my husband and I named our two children.)

I weigh it all, and I weigh it daily. The fluctuations can become permanently upward if I don't pay attention to them. I watch for trends and then compare it to my food and exercise diary to look for correlations.

Prior to marrying my husband, I dated men of all heights. Tall men, short men, extremely tall men, thin, fat, muscular, etc. I care more about personality and how he treats me and makes me feel than the physical. I've never dated a man who is shorter than me, but that's because I can count the number of adult men I've met…

Probably no more necessary than my weight lifting gloves. But I don't get those little half moon callouses on my hands.

I've read this same thing, but with no statistics to back it up. If it *is* true, though, I wonder how many of them got married to fix problems in the relationship. (Same as people who are married that decide to have a baby to solve relationship problems. Not like either works, but people still have been known to do so.)

I'm not selling it, so no need to message me for info, but I like the Body by Vi. It's lactose free, and I usually mix mine with almond milk and other things.

I'm going to agree with everyone who has said to get her to the doctor. There are reasons for weight gain... like kids' tendency to bulk up before a growth spurt, or less benign things like thyroid issues. Or it could just plain be too many calories in versus calories out, or any number of other things. Diet? No.…

Different brands will often have different sizes. When I first started wearing European bras, I was a 34E in some brands and a 36E in others. Now I'm more of a universal 34F, but if you're going to spend a pretty penny on a bra, then it's best to try on and be properly fitted. For a proper fitting, go to specialty stores…

Everything this. I have an Enell bra (34F), and it's quite pricey. But I've heard really great things about the Goddess line of sports bras, and they are in your range on Amazon.com.

He's bored out of his mind. I'd look into hiring a dog walker or putting him in a doggy day care here and there.
