Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

Mama, life had just begun

Well done, Sir. Feel free to add me.

Where did you find the recipe swap group?

Where did you find the recipe?

Just joined. Cannot wait for the start on May 1.

Thanks for posting the link! I actually found it pretty fascinating.

You all can add me! I need to get my butt in gear.

You can add me.

I think you and I had the same father. YUCK to the fried liver! You will have to post the "how to massage kale" recipe. Tried acai berries once. HATED them.

I have found with me that it's not so much the food, but it's how it's prepared for many: Oatmeal (unless it's in oatmeal cookies or granola) Carrots (cooked, but I'll eat raw) Lima beans (blech) Peas (unless I grew them) ANY CANNED VEGETABLE Spinach (cooked, I'll eat raw) Broccoli (raw, I'll eat cooked) Squash (I'll eat…

THANK YOU for posting this. I am always looking for friends on this site who will support me and not ridicule me. Each of us comes from a different background. Some have been overweight all through life. Some have not. Some simply do NOT have the knowledge that others have. That's why they are HERE. For what it's worth, I…

budgetbytes.com has a lot of good recipes. While it does have some meat recipes, if you look at the tabs across the top, you can find recipes for VEGETARIAN, BEANS/GRAINS, or PASTA. I find that many of the recipes can be modified to remove the meat protein.

Joining this challenge late. Will begin tomorrow. Going for 180 minutes.

Don't fight with it. Work with it. You know when you are due and what usually sends you off the deep end. For me, it is sweets, coupled with a salt craving. So I keep chocolate covered almonds in the house around that time. I also keep a small package of miniature pretzel twists. This provides for sweet and salty cravings.…

Way to go!

We were raised the same way. Yellow squash was called yellow moons, broccoli was baby trees.

Instead of concentrating on what he cannot have, I would look at combining foods he CAN have. I'm thinking of dishes such as squash baked in the oven and drizzled with a little maple syrup and slightly crushed almonds added to the top for crunch. Kale sprinkled with a little olive oil and baked in the oven at 400 degrees…

If you want the kids involved with a healthy lifestyle, get them involved with it. With my kids, each time we went to the grocery store, we went over to the produce aisle. Each time, we picked a NEW fruit or vegetable we never ate before. I used Google to figure out what the veggie or fruit was and how to prepare it. Fast…

^^^ALL OF THIS^^^ Those of us who are caught in this cycle and don't know what to do would love to know more!

What did you do to help beat the anxiety? Did you get on medication or was it a lifestyle change only? (As you can see from my screen picture, I'm not ready to show who I am yet.) Inquiring minds who deal with the same stuff want to know! I'm just beginning the process and really not sure how to proceed with all of it. By…

Anyone who wants to add me can do so. I'm looking for like-minded people to help me with my journey. Annie

Feel free to add me. I'm new here as well and need to get my *kitten* in gear!

I am a full time homeschooling parent to two teenage sons. One is autistic.

Thanks for all the great advice. I know it wasn't directed at me, but the changes you listed here I should be able to do without over thinking the whole process!

You got this! I'm pretty new here, as well, and trying to figure it all out. I'm looking for friends that have like goals and are willing to be a positive influence in the process! Add me as a friend if you like. The more we can encourage, the more we'll get through the psychological stuff and the physical stuff will begin…

You look fantastic, regardless of your numbers!

Congratulations on your weight loss! Keep it up!

Good topic to start! It reminds me to weigh myself in the morning before consuming anything and to make sure that I get plenty of water during the day so that my body doesn't dehydrate.
