i EBF for 15 months. my appetite was ravenous while BFing and to be frank, i think it is suppose to be. i found it difficult to lose weight while BFing bc i was just hungry ALL THE TIME. I eventually just decided to focus on eating healthy food while BFing and to lose weight after BFing. i am now no longer hungry 24/7 like…

Yep. they have even tested foods labeled as organic and some come back as testing positive for pesticide. I don't think it's intentional, it's just the nature of growing (wind can transport pesticides) and getting foods to market (they may be in close proximity to non-organic produce). I am aware that the soil may not be…

1 things will go wrong. you can count on it. that is life. realize this and embrace it. life isn't perfect and neither are you. it's ok and good even! only through struggle do we change. 2 it's learning to deal w things when they don't go perfectly that can make a difference. many of us, me included, have a tendency to…

LoL, you make a point. Growing vegetables is in my blood. Many people just do not realize that organic = bugs. I often tell people if they buy a head of organic lettuce and don't find a bug, it prob isn't really organic. (Things at grocery stores labeled organic is 1 thing bc of regulations but there are people who sell at…

1 i agree w you 2 i recommend off setting the cost of some healthy foods by including cheaper healthy options in you diet: brown rice, beans, cabbage, frozen veggies, etc. If you make a crockpot full of beans, it is about as cheap as 1 can of beans but you can freeze them and are quick to throw in the microwave (if you…

i recently looked into juicing. from what i researched (and this makes sense) the main diff btwn eating raw vegs and juicing is that juicing removes the pulp, fiber - that full feeling you would normally get from eating them.

i really like chicken w egg noodles. a white sauce (these can be more health-oriented and not just a bomb your calories alfredo - just google low fat white sauce) or olive oil n garlic w chicken is good. this is fantastic w egg noodles: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/beef-stroganoff-iii/detail.aspx ground chuck/hamburger…

your idea w the grill is a good 1. another way to do chicken is to marinade in olive oil, garlic, and lime juice then grill. crockpot it. put chicken in crockpot on high for 5 hours, i usu put in 3 chicken breasts, dale's marinade, squirt of dijon, 3 T brown sugar, black pepper, onion and garlic powder. notice no fat. it…

Alabama Law School is a top tier school. People like to stereotype those educated in the South to assuage their own feelings of stupidity.

as far as brands go i really like Republic of Tea and Yogi. My all time favorite tea in the whole world is Republic of Tea Apple Blossom Green Tea. It is just so lovely, delicate, fragrant, and feels special. I like any brand of earl grey tea. Yogi teas often include trace amounts of stevia or other naturally sweet herbs.…

I agree that there is more than a physiological aspect to food addiction. a couple pts i recall from the film being crap (and it is possible of course I am remembering a diff food related vid on netflix) is the assertion that food cures cancer and the wonderful benefits of juicing. of course biology isn't pseudo-science.…

i watched this and agree somewhat w what is put forth. However, a good portion of this doc is pseudo-science at best and just pure conjecture at worst.

when mine was that little, i would put her in a really cute outfit and take her for a walk in the stroller. Sometimes she would just look around other times she would nap, but she never got tired of stroller time in the neighborhood.

bump for later and to keep this thread going. i had no idea there were so many full length workouts on youtube. i think there is 1 really long zumba workout vid on youtube i have seen, but i do not have the link.

I am starting to realize this myself. I don't have ice cream in the house for the same reason. I think i need to cut out all of the candy and cookies from the house bc I am struggling (failing) w portion control of them. Whereas, if there is JUST fruit in the house that is what i reach for...not a cookie.

i'm wondering if the lunch of a salad isn't really sustaining you and that is why you end up constantly reaching for a powerbar? if you don't like the idea of powebar, have you considered making your own healthy oatmeal bars?

Just how many beans do you actually eat in a day!?!

thank you for replying. i don't intend on doing a juice fast. I am just wanting a way to easily include more raw veggies into my diet. I googled this after posting and concluded I should just do veggie/fruit (green) smoothies and if it is too thick just add some water. I also wouldn't have to buy an additional appliance.…

great progress and very inspirational pics. btw, you DID look beautiful on your wedding day!

we steam veggies in the microwave a lot, esp broccoli as that is the house favorite. We buy huge bags of frozen veggies, place desired amount in a microwave-safe bowl, cover w saran wrap and nuke.

log it and move on for many people a part of this is having the strength to say no to people. They didn't force you to eat that sundae. You gave in to their pressure. There are people who will consciously or unconsciously derail your efforts. It's important to stick to your choices and goals. Seriously, after you have…

if you eat eggs, I'd go with a boiled egg and banana or 2 boiled eggs and a tangerine. I think the latter would be more filling.
