Wow! These are great suggestions! Keep 'em coming! I need as many ideas as I can get. I'm trying to get my kids to like it better, too. They just keep turning their noses up at whatever I try to give them if it has rice in it...gah!

I was very anti e-reader when they came out. I vowed I would never get one as I loved the feel and smell of books in my hand. Well...eventually I caved. I now adore my Nook Color. I love being able to get a book with just the touch of a button and not having to go to the bookstore or order online to get it . It's instantly…

Well, I was an 80's teen, so I have tons of 80's music on my MP3 player. But Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Pink all make me move a little faster when I'm walking. I love them.

"Break Even" by The Script The lyrics are really powerful. Makes me tear up every time.:cry:

Wrong. Infant mortality rates are NOT used to figure the 'average lifespan of paleo people', and neither are injuries. Skeletal remains with noticeable injuries that 'could' have caused death or 'most likely' caused death are noted as such, but they do NOT bring down the 'average' lifespan of paleo people as a whole. Paleo…

Thanks for your information about shoes. My first bout with PF was last fall right after I started my new job. It hurt so much and I had no idea what was wrong. I went to the ER and they took and xray and said I had a tiny bone spur. They told me to do some stretching exercises (mostly just roll a frozen soup can under my…

1, I want to feel good again. 2. I want to look good again. 3. I want to buy my clothes in the regular section...I hate the plus sized section. 4. I want to have the energy to play more with my kids. 5. I want the pain in my knees and heel to stop. 6. I want to be healthy for my 50's and beyond. 7. I want to avoid Type 2…

Okay, first of all, prehistoric people did harvest grains. If they made bread it would have unleavened. Primarily it was cooked into gruel. Second, you don't know that people didn't have cancerous cells in prehistoric times because there was no one to diagnose such. You are making a lot of assumption in the area of…

You can add me as a friend if you like. I think it's great that you've already lost 5 pounds! I hope my first week is as successful. I share your fear of weight related health complications as I just watched Weight of The Nation and it scared the crap out of me. My kids are both overweight and I feel entirely responsible…

Not me. I'm just looking to lose 40 (60 in total) lbs. and be a size 16. I don't know if I can get to a smaller size because I've had two c-sections and that lovely procedure wreaks havoc with toning in your abdomen.

Add me! I'm 42 and I have a 10 year old son and a 9 year old daughter. I'm overweight and they are, too...and I feel responsible for this. I'm hoping to be healthy, lose this weight and be a better example. I am going for 40 pounds, but I really need to lose 60. When I get to 40 off I'm resetting for the remaining 20. I'd…

Welcome! I just joined this morning, so I know how you feel...but guess what? I'm through my first day and I didn't go over on the calories! I even got all the water in. If I can do it, you can do it. You can friend me if you want...in fact anyone who wants to can. Amy

Don't be discouraged! I just started today, too. I am trying to lose 40 but I really need to lose 60...and I will. You can do this! I can do this! We can do this!

I am! Actually I need to lose more than that, but 40 lbs. is my starting goal. I just started today, so time will tell. What I'm trying to do is work it to where I'm careful during the day and still be able to eat a little of what my family eats at night. Of course, little do they know that I will be switching up their…
