Why is fruit bad? Isn't it "clean"? Is it the sugar?

a dress!!! I have a big belly and chest, so if I wear a dress, it looks like a tent.

We juice from time to time, but I would love to try a juice fast!

People should be free to add whomever they please!!! It's not my business.

Nope...he leaves all that stuff to me. If he needs something he just tells me. I do like it when he goes to the store with me!

Around here farmer's markets are very expensive!! I agree with shopping sales and with coupons. Also look for a bang and dent type grocer near you. If you have an Aldi's, they offer great prices on healthy food from time to time. You just have to use it right away.

Deleware and VA coasts have great campgrounds!!! Penssylvania has a ton, too!

I like it with cereal. It is extra good in shakes, too.

How about a new hobby? Art maybe? I am always swamped between schooling my 3 little ones to church or family activities.

This is a very good point. Hadn't thought about it that way....

Addiction starts with a choice. Most diseases do not. Also, most mental health issues are considered disorders, not diseases, right?

Sorry he is not being supportive. I think mine is a bit skeptical, too. Just give him time, the way I see it is we've probably given them plenty of reasons to be skeptical with previous false starts. Hang in there!

I need to tell my grandparents about this! The eye benefits specifically!

You can roast it for extra yumminess (drizzle with olive oil, s&p, oven 450)! I love mine with fresh lemon juice(squeezed right from the wedge) and red pepper. There are a ton of "mock potato" cauliflower recipies out there, too! To steam on a stovetop, bring water to a boil in a large pot (you can add bay leaves and lemon…

This killed a famous young model about mmmm??? maybe 10 years ago...Does anyone remember who I am talking about? No it is dangerous, and illegal. Asthma meds are perscribed for medical reasons, not weight loss. To use someone else's would be illegal. (ETA:it was krissy taylor)

I use the Tressomme Curly products. I shampoo and conditioner in the shower, comb through with a wide toothed comb, and then tons of leave-in conditioner. Then I use the mousse and blow dry only till damp. Air dry the rest of the way. I tried going no-poo, it has been 3 years, my scalp and hair is still recovering :( I got…

That fish sounds tasty, I might try that tonight!

I've never heard of a gift opening party. What a selfish, indulgent, ridiculous waste of time! I would not go.... (and no I am not jealous, I have all the household carp I need and then some!) AND another thing? Doesn't the couple go away to spend one-on-one time with each other on their wedding night? Why would they want…

You can still make the same foods, just make yours a tad lower cal. You can use things like peanut butter, coconut oil, and butter as spereads or add-ins for them, and you use lighter options. I'm thinking on toast, over veggies, in rice, oatmeal, etc. Serve them carbs with their meals like bread and pasta, and you have…

No shame on you, we all have personal struggles. It is ok, you are here now, and now is all you have. Now is all you can worry about. You can do this. You will do this. You have the strength to do this, but you do not need to be not alone. Reach out, and you will find a supportive group of friends to go through this with…

What a sweet husband! That's is amazing that he cooks for you everynight! Hope he's feeling better soon! And good luck with your busy schedule the rest of the week!

I love kale juiced!!! Cut out the ribs, chop into tiny bits, then add to whatever you are cooking. I especially like it over pasta or in scrambled eggs. I've heard kale chips are delicious, but we never have enough of it around to try!

Also, I remember reading one of the newbie threads about eating back your excersize calories is important? Maybe look into that?

If you "can't resist" the scale, throw it out! Don't let it's numbers rule your thoughts. Just from what I've been learning, and not from personal experience, I'd say maybe you need to increase your calories.

This, you want a good friend you gotta be one. Maybe join some groups, find some people in the same weight range with the same goals, and reach out. Just asking for more support, and you might get it ;)

All those reasons contribute. We live in a society/generation that seeks after our own pleasure first. We want what we want, and we want it now. We live in an age of instant gratification, and short attention span. The message "If it feels good, do it" is very popular right now. Lack of activity, increase in convenience…

With a bump ;) Bumping a thread moves it to the top of the list. And it also assigns it to your "my topics" tab. (any reply to a thread will)

I'd love to pick up some new healthier ideas for my crock pot!

angry birds is a brilliant idea!
