Thank you all for listening to my gripes. Sometimes you just need to blow off steam. I am going to continue to document and just see where it all goes from there.

Going to try this soon! Thanks.

There is a thread completely dedicated to those of us that work 3rd shift. Come visit with us!

Getting Married this October.... I Have not found anything yet.....

Where do you ladies buy your corsets from?

Good Luck! I do the same as you. Hope there is some good advice coming....

Well.... I match some of those.... I am female and I work nights, (at work now). I live with my 4 children who are extremely healthy in weight and energy and have no problems griping about me wanting to eat healthy all the time. Feel free to add me if you would like.

Ok, so I will be one of those people that disagree with everyone else..... Yes, I have four children who are all healthy and not over or underweight. Ages: 9, 12, 14, & 16. I count calories, fats, sodium, and sugar, for all of them. We talk about each meal and what is in it. We talk about what is healthy and and what is…

From what I am reading above, I am doing this weight loss thing way wrong.... My tally says that EVERY day. I almost always stay under and I never even count my exercise. I consider that just a bonus. Maybe I need to rethink things. My weight loss is extremely slow going.

Hi!. I have about 40 more pounds to lose. When it comes to proportions, and you don't have a set of scales, I would try to measure using a measuring cup for fruit and vegetables. For meat, no bigger than the size of a deck of cards is generally a good proportion. Feel free to add me if you are looking for support.

COUNT EVERYTHING Water is Water only. Everything else is extra and should be counted. You will be surprised at how much all the extras add up in calories.

BUMP !! I also get lots of leg cramps. Hope to hear some good recommendations on here. Good Luck to you. I take extra potassium vitimans and drink lots of water..... there must be something that we can do....

Egg White Omelet with spinach, mushrooms, onion for breakfast Spinach Salad with pecans for lunch Salmon, steamed veggies, lettuce salad with no dressing for supper

LOL!!! I totally understand and am right there with you in grocery bills. I shop for myself, SO, and 6 kids, 4 of which happen to be teenagers!!! I am roughly spending almost $275 per week!

This may sound stupid to you, but I suggest start with regular massage therapy. It could very well be that your muscles are so tight and or tense from stress and other life factors that is causing so much pain. If stretching helps the pain only temporarily tells me that the muscles are simply constricting themselves back…

I would count the raw egg value. IMO, the 101 comes in to play when you use oil to treat your skillet and so many people add milk to their egg to stretch it out and add fluffiness to scrambled eggs. I see it a lot in different recipies.

Yes. It is a form of abuse, but you need the proof behind the accusation if you plan to file charges against some one for that single claim, and that is very hard to do considering it will be a he said/she said battle in any courtroom. The is in the United States. I do not know about any where else. Sorry

I use my blender almost everyday, replacing a meal or using a shake as a snack. Love my blender!!

Same boat here.... but this is what I have done to help myself. I LOVE gummy candy..... addiction..... I bought the gummy vitamins. I bought the Fiber Gummies. I bought the Brach's Sugar Free Gummies. I have the vitamins in the morning to soothe my craving... I have the Fiber Gummies in the afternoon. This at least gives…

It will never work. It will always end badly.... Don't do it. There is literally thousands of other ways to spice up a marraige!

I use it, as a snack or for the protein, never as a meal replacement. I like it, and it does seem to help curb the appetite and make me wait till dinner.... :smile:

I would love to, but sounds like you are way ahead of me. I cant run. I can barely walk three miles... maybe... LOL. Where do you go running at? What part of town do you live in?

I live in North Riverside, Wichita. This is a great site to help with goals. You will do wonderful!

^ this ^ I work in the mental health field. Please, for the love of all those around you, do not stop taking meds because of other input from people who do not know you personally. Talk to your doctor!

I love allrecipies.com !!!

My son has a heart condition and the doctor has also told him to eat more salt. After many reccomendations because I also do not cook with salt at home, I found that you can ask the pharmacist and they have salt tablets they keep behind the counter. You can buy them with out a prescription but they will talk with you about…

Too embarrassed to take classes..... I work alone on the machines while the kids go swim. Then I join them and try to swim a few laps before we leave. Do you have a trainer or some one you work with? Do you take classes? If so, what kind?

I usually end up at the NorthWest Y or around house... lol.... Thanks for the add!

I don't mind wearing a chest strap as I have to do that every once in a while for cardiologist..... Thank you for the advice on the bodybuggs, I will look at them. Let me clarify my HR issue. I have used other devices to calculate my heart rate along with the old fashion way of just feeling for pulse and counting.... By…
