YES!! You can do it!!! Don't try to do it all at once, just start at your own pace. When I started, I wasn't really trying, I just wanted to be more aware of how much I ate. The weight has come off SLOWLY, which is fine for me. I'm much happier and healthier now than 6 months ago. I'm not at my goal weight yet, but it's…

Yes, fell off the wagon completely! It's the snacks at work that are the worst. My willpower is not very strong. It will get better! ALSO, I may have gained a couple pounds back, but I won't gain them all back! I'll enjoy the snacks as long as they last, and get back into healthier habits again soon!

My dream house, with NO mortgage.

I'll log it, but I don't care if I go over. Knowing me, I'll be over during breakfast, & still eat supper. :drinker:

I'm so sorry your mom is having a hard time with it. I'm proud of you! I wish there were something I could do to make it easier for you. How is your father dealing with it? Are your parents still together? Maybe there's a book out there (for a gift) for your mom, to explain to her you're still who you are.…

I was diagnosed with "intrinsic asthma". There are no allergic or exercise triggers. I don't get typical asthma attacks, but will rarely have a day with issues. However, if I get a cold, I'll cough for weeks or months!!! That being said, I've NEVER been into cardiovascular exercises. I enjoy walking (outside in nice…

I'll often feel like that when I overeat pasta.

Right after the holidays, many retailers don't care. The only downside is they will credit you for the lowest price the item ever was. If it's just an even exchange, (size) it may not matter at all. I've done this many times, as I often get terrible gifts. :noway:

I can cross 1 eye and move the other from side to side.

I know how you feel!! Sometimes, it's a matter of committing to eating a salad for lunch (I like baby spinach, and I can eat a huge bowl with hardly any calories added. At night, when I want to snack, if I'm out of calories, I'll brush my teeth and know I'm done for the day. Don't get me wrong, I still cheat a lot. I'm…

First, ask your doctor. Maybe swimming?

Sorry to hear it. But when I hit my all time high weight, I really got motivated. I never want to see that weight associated with me again. Good luck with your goals!

Tell her we're all going to die anyway, what's the problem?

I work in an office where the clients seem to think we'll starve to death. The fruit baskets, and candy are already starting. Be strong!! Know you'll cheat once in a while.

Lots depends on the maturity and responsibility of the child. My nephew was 15 when he proved he STILL needs adult supervision! Growing up, I was fortunate enough to have my aunt living next door. So I never FELT alone. I had one overnight alone when I was 10 (actually a friend came over, even though it was a school…

Raisins, brown sugar, and cinnamon. YUM!

Getting into my Spanx is exercise, and it makes my waist seem smaller... does that count? :laugh:

I loved my trucks as a child! I got in a fight over a dump truck someone tried to steal when I was 4. It was a really cool truck... I never got into dolls, but stuffed animals were my favorite! I'm now 40-something, a veterinary technician. My hubby is a car nut. We have multiple cats (no kids).

I think it's a great idea. Baby dolls need a daddy sometimes. :wink:

ticks :noway:

My hubby & I both work full time. No kids, but multiple cats. We share cooking, I do most dinners. I LOVE my crock pot! It's easy to put ingredients in it, and come home to a hot meal. I also have an occasional food preparation day. I'll get multiple meals prepared, and freeze them. We go out to dinner about 2-3 times a…

Sliced apple, baby carrots, or raisins are my favorites.

I like baby spinach, hard boiled egg, chick peas, bacon bits, cucumber, tomato, and just enough dressing to add a little flavor.

Instead of mayo in tuna, try SALSA. It adds a little flavor, and much less fat. Add a little avocado, if you like.

Eat healthy before you go. So you'll be too full to over-indulge. Just take a small taste of stuff.

I haven't changed my goals, but as I approach it, I may want to take off another 10 pounds. But I'm just going to take it 1 step at a time.:smile:

Get a horse. Stay single!!!!!!!

My @$$ is smart, so is my brain...sometimes. :tongue: add me

Ask the kids. Maybe their daddy wants a pony!:laugh:

My mom makes salmon croquettes (cakes) that are super yummy!! I don't have a recipe, but I'm sure there's tons on line. :smile:
