Thank you for saying "couldn't care less" instead of the ever-popular (and incorrect) "could care less". :flowerforyou: :happy:

^This.

Welcome! I am the same height and about the same weight as you, and I, too, have a skinny husband. :grumble: The damn guy weighs 128 lbs. lol.

Exactly. Canned foods are often extremely high in sodium. If you buy veggies or beans, buy low-sodium versions and RINSE them. That'll help to cut back on the sodium. As for soups, it is easy to spend a half day making soups and freezing them. I could be fun for the kids because they can help peel/cut/stir. I usually…

I do cardio (30-45 minutes) 6 days a week, and strength training 5 of those days.

Another vote for the Cuisinart Griddler! I love that I can cook damn near anything with it, including waffles. :)

Capers. E-mothereffing-w.

It's all about moderation. I don't thing grits alone are bad... it's just all the stuff you add to it. Tasty tasty stuff.

I highly recommend you find a local Al-Anon (sp?) meeting. This will be a great support group for you. I don't have any advice beyond that. :heart:

I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill. My husband isn't in the Navy but I find the beige/sand colored uniforms with the white t-shirt underneath to be incredibly sexy but I don't expect him to wear it, nor would I ever ask him to. He married YOU! You, even though you don't wear scrubs. :)

Yup, but not with a LC. It sucked miserably to get sick like that at work.

:flowerforyou: Exactly!!

Yes it is super important to me. I want kids and nothing will change that. It would not be fair for me to give that up because my spouse says he doesn't want them and vice versa. When we were dating, I told my husband that if he doesn't want kids, that's a deal breaker.

It's all about the hot mustard... mmmmmmm. If you're up for trying something new and bad for you, get a Filet 'o' Fish with no sauce and dip it in the hot mustard. HEAVEN!

Edited to delete my comment. Sending in PM.

I wouldn't be too concerned. He could have overheard an adult there saying that they probably gained weight while they were there. Shoot, I know that I say that when I go on vacation "Oh, I know I'm going to gain 10 lbs with all the good food I'm eating."

Never because it is just a number. I go by how I feel and how my clothes fit.

:love: I think I love you.

^Exactly. It sounds like you're doing great so ignore that stupid number.

Here you go. Eggs are one of the few naturally occuring food sources of Vitamin D. Are egg yolks healthy? This is a confusing one. Egg yolks are known primarily for their high cholesterol content. But the medical research community has learned that dietary cholesterol is a different measure than blood level of cholesterol,…

I overhead this while having dinner. "You don't need to eat. You can just take vitamins and supplements and you'll be fine". :laugh: It took all my willpower to not turn around and ask the girl "Are you freaking serious?"

Everyone (for the most part) has offered great tips. I just want to say that your puppy is super cute. I want to kiss her little face all over!

Another reason to eat the yolks: Egg yolks are one of the few foods that naturally contain vitamin D.

^Exactly. A RD or Nutritionist is your best and safest option. You have a condition that requires a somewhat special diet.

^Amen.

For me, I like soda because of the fizziness so I decided to buy a SodaStream. I can make my own club soda and I squeeze in some lemon and lime to make it taste like a citrus soda.

You're now responsible for the destruction of 3 acres of rain forest. I hope you're happy.

I was out to dinner and "Puff the Magic Dragon" came on at the restaurant. A little girl at the table next to me said loudly "Mom! This is a Jewish song!" I almost choked trying to not laugh out loud.

I was told there would be no math.

I've been on the fence about weight lifting and you, my dear, just pushed me over to the "yes" side. You look amazing. How do you feel now (physically) compared to when you were heavy?
