Jennifer_417 Eating ice does Not cause anemia but contributes to it. Just as consuming large amounts of ice tea also contributes to anemia. It is a pica, a craving where you eat things like clay or paper, things of no nutritional value. There's no reason why but it is associated with iron deficiency anemia.

Also in my 40's, love the addition of new friends. Feel free to add me :smile:

Watch the ice, eating too much ice contributes to Anemia.

I walk to Leslie Sansone's videos and always burn over 300 calories. Today I did 2 miles and burned 488 calories according to my Heart Monitor. I love her videos, check them out if you want to shake up your routine. I cannot walk outdoors where I live so these are a great way for me to get my workouts.

Don't let it get you down. Pick yourself up and try again tomorrow. I often have days like that where I just feel like I want to eat, even though I'm not hungry. I believe that's why I have gained all this weight. We all just need motivation and support from eachother in order to succeed. Good Luck!

I tried Isagenix, UGH! disgusting detox days and made me soo sick. It was Waaaaayyyyy tooo expensive and just plain didn't work at all for me. Stay away from it!

Always looking for New MFP friends and Motivators :) Anyone feel free to Add me.

Night shift 7pm-7am 3 nights a week. I personally just back my days up if it flips to a new day. I have had no problems with this. On days that I don't work I just log in normally. I usually get home and to sleep no later than 10 am. I will sleep until 2:30-3:00pm and try to work out at least 30 minutes as soon as I wake…

I begin with Leslie Sansone videos. Her walking videos are Great for beginners.

I'd love to try turkey burgers but hear they are tasteless and dry. Any suggestions? I'm scared to buy the prepared kind. I will Not eat buffalo!

This looks GREAT! keep sharing, I don't mind and if anyone else does then they don't have to look at your post! :laugh:

Awesome! Thanks for all the advice. I am giving it all a lot of thought.

Thanks for the advice.

Hi. Nursing for 21 years. Started as a Unit secretary, then did CNA, then got my LPN and finally my RN, am currently working on my BSN and will be done by January 2015. I had incredible nursing instructors for all of my programs. I am sorry you are having such a hard time. I lost 36 lbs in 2012 only to gain it all back. I…

Love, love, love these. Have been making them for awhile and my family LOVES them :love:

Wow! Thank you all for the encouragement and support. I know I can do it, it's just gonna take a little time :happy:

I wish I could find any plus size clothes at a thrift store in my size. I can never find any.:sad:

Yes, this was posted on Facebook and I am absolutely going to try it. It looks delicious!:love:

Wow! I am glad I am not alone. I am Dawn, and I am a FOOD ADDICT!! I love, love, love food. I think about food all the time. I love to try new recipes and I love to try new restaurants. I constantly think about food and don't know how to overcome this. Help!!!!!!!

Hey, don't get discouraged. It sounds like your on the right track, I would try to adjust your eating habits and include more fruits and vegetables and definately cut out the sodas and the processed junk foods and see what happens then. I know I cut out soda and saw weight loss almost immediately. Try to drink water, at…

I H-A-T-E my thighs and my calves!!! Right now my thighs are so flabby and out of shape from weight loss and it is disgusting to me. And I have always had big calves, from sports, even when I was thin, so I despise them too. I'd love to be able to wear dresses and skirts but NO way with these thunder, jiggly thighs.…

No if you search there is Orange cake mix at Walmart :wink:

the laughing cow soft cream cheese is delightful on wheat thins tomato basil flavored crackers :flowerforyou:

Bump

so far I'm just having to tighten my current bras 40 D, but I don't wanna lose any off my boobs or my butt for that matter and my jeans are kinda saggy in the butt now :sad: so I think if I buy a smaller size I won't notice so much. I hope :wink: But I would double my sports bra during my workouts, that's what I do.

. Ugh! I don't wanna lose any "Boobs" or "butt" and it looks like that's exactly where its leaving :sad:

Thanks everyone!

Thanks everyone. I am definately looking into the weights. My nephew is a state arm wrestling champion and he has also given me pointers about weight lifting so I am going to start soon.

I've made this with an orange cake mix and added a TBSP of fat free Cool Whip and it is a great dessert.

I joined June 2012 but slacked off mostly until this January 2013, but I am down 30 pounds and I definately see progress. This is a great site for inspiration and motivation. I love how it makes me accountable for what I put in my mouth. Yes I'm sure some people could lie, but you'd really only do yourself an injustice.…
