Again, I thank all of you who have replied so far. I have some great information that I will arm myself with going into that day, and should be able to make some decent choices. By the way, I love the hospital cafeteria...to whomever suggested that...but my daughter's appointment time is AFTER cafeteria closes for…

For those who have replied so far, thank you for your suggestions. Packing my own was my first thought, actually...but then as I thought about that situation more carefully, it really isn't doable...and no, I am not making excuses. There are some aspects of this situation that I haven't shared and won't share...but I was…

PCOS...plain and simple...I HATE you! My body doesn't respond like other's do...my body doesn't function like other do...my body is just a mystery to me...and I live in it! Thanks to you, I can't figure out this skin, muscle, and bones that I am subject to live in....

Thank you all for your replies. I have had my blood work done...twice...because every doctor that I saw thought that it was something with my thyroid, but both tests have come back that the thyroid is normal. I am taking metformin, although the doctor said that my blood tests showed no signs of pre-diabetes...just that my…

Thanks for all of your advice so far. It is just really discouraging. I have been eating salads the past few nights for supper...and still no change on the scale... It just seems that I am spinning my wheels here...

Salad Chicken Cheesecake Chicken is my favorite meat...I could seriously eat it every day. Cheesecake is my favorite dessert. I could eat it every day too! :P

(My ultimate goal weight is 110...so this goal would just get me within the 100 lb. to lose range…

I tried it...it helped with suppressing my appetite alright... I ate very little for lunch or supper, and by the next day, I was hungry for breakfast, but after I took it, my lunch and dinner would be little again. Weight was dropping well...BUT the side effects were HORRIBLE. I was angry all of the time. I had no control…

Hello. My name is Hillary. I am 32, married for 8.5 years to a wonderful man! I have two boys (7 and 6), and one girl (will be 5 in 17 days!). I homeschool all three of them, and love that I am able to do that! I enjoy reading, writing, hanging out with my husband, and actually walking (on the beach--we live in Myrtle…

Definitely want in....will post all info later...

I am 5'1". I was measured once at 5'1.5", but the next doctor that measured me said that I was only 5'1". It is always nice to hear that you are SHORTER than you thought! :P 110 is my goal weight!

I am in Myrtle Beach. Not too far! :)

A great problem to have! Woo hoo! Now, someone please tell me what NSV means. I have seen it twice today, and have no idea what it means!

I like the candle idea! Thanks!

What is the best way to melt chocolate if you don't have a double boiler, because I do not...

Thanks for all of the replies! I will try to answer all of the questions... MFP allotted 1200 calories per day for me. I guess that is as low as it gets from what I have heard/seen from others on this site... I don't drink any other fluids besides water. I will rarely have a cherry 7-up or Sprite with hubby...but it is…

ME-4 LNS-3 We had a late dinner last night, and I had a smoothie afterwards...so, I am counting it as no late night snack...

:sad: I feel like I am doing terrible everyone! There have only been 6 days in this month, and my goal is quickly looking very un-doable! Our score is tied... Me-3 LNS-3 I won three nights by not having anything after 8! LSN has won 3, and now, 2 nights in a row. Why can't I whip this thing? I could drink water til it…

Have Mercy! I hope I do not lose any from my chest! I have actually been looking up ways to make them bigger, naturally, of course, cause I am not having surgery! So, I hope to lose from everywhere but there. I am petite though...have a very small frame...just too much weight on it! LOL! So, maybe mine aren't SUPPOSED to…

ME-4 LNS-1 ...but there is popcorn in the house tonight. Will I have the will to resist?!

Anyone with a healthy potato soup recipe???

Just a quick Hello! Hope to be back later! :yawn:

YES! On November 1st, I said to myself that my November goal was no late night snacks. My husband works all day, and when he gets home, we have dinner, spend time with our 3 little ones, and then finally have some time to ourselves after they are in bed-which USUALLY consists of sitting on the couch with some popcorn (or…

Hello ladies! I haven't checked in as much as I'd like. I have been really busy---I don't know why, since I don't DO ANYTHING! Welcome to my life-my vent for the day-or my vent for EVER! LOL! Yeah, it's been a very stressful day/past 12 hours or so. So, I come home last night (from a SHORT visit with a family member), and…

Hello ladies and welcome to the newcomers! I have missed this board for the past few days! I have had a rough one today! The kids have been hyped up for some reason, and I am not. It sure is Monday! I had a little "bump" in the road yesterday. You can read for yourself at the post under General Diet and Fitness titled,…

It is the Six Week Body Makeover... I goofed big time! In my defense, I was watching a movie, talking to my husband, eating, and trying to post at the same time... I read up on it yesterday. I found out more about the restrictions...and my sister-in-law made me feel like such a "loser" (not in the weight loss sense) for…

Checking in... Hope everyone is having a great day. I have become addicted...addicted to string cheese! Mmmmm! I am wanting to make chicken tacos tonight. I saw a recipe on here recently. How can I find it? Will going to "Search" bring up recipes? I haven't exercised for days! Uuuggg! I really gotta exercise!

I joined up about 3 years ago. I loved it, but just couldn't afford it even though it was cheap (IMO) with all of the other payments we had. There is a sign-up fee, and that was around $100, as I recall, but I went in when they were having a food drive...so I got the fee waived by bringing in a bag of non-perishable food.…

Thanks to all of you for your replies and ideas! I appreciate them very much. I really like the idea of exercising while the family is eating and then having a smoothie or something else "light" later! Amy-what is up with drinking so much water? Is that the half of your body weight thing? I have heard of it. So, if you…
