So many people forget that they actually said "Till death do us part" in front of a representative of God and/or the government of their country. If you actually used your words from your heart when you said them, you vowed to keep them. Divorce has become such an easy word to say... "I've decided that I wasn't able to…

As with everyone else here.... I'm going to tell you to go see your doctor and ask what they suggest you do. Revamp your diet and maybe look at things like yoga, tai chi, aquafit, some pilates, some weight training, and things that aren't weightbearing so you're not stressing that knee while it heals. Believe me, you can…

Take the time to plan your lunches and suppers. If you don't, you'll likely just go on and forget to eat. When I make my breakfasts, I usually put together something nutritious for lunch and make sure that I have my supper planned too. Do the same thing with snacks. I keep trail mix in snack ziplock baggies, Keep good…

LOL When someone says that cardio is pointless but are out there doing it anyway, they don't really know from experience whether it is or isn't. Frankly, I could diet till the cows come home but if I don't add cardio to the diet, I won't lose anything. My job's sedentary so I need to burn calories somehow. I do some…

Losing weight and dieting should never be about deprivation. I'm another person advocating for talking with a nutritionist or dietician. Your GP can refer you to someone who can talk with you about what you're going through and work with you to not only eat in a way that will work FOR YOU but to help you to build a support…

I've never skiied. It wasn't that there wasn't an opportunity either but I'd like to cross country ski.

Everything that was right between you before is still right now. Just take a deep breath and "jump into the pool". You might find out that the result is that you both get to be happy.

I do them on weekends. Weekdays I swim laps and do aquafit. Sometimes I walk to her beat and sometimes to my own but I do them :)

I'm 57. The pounds I've lost since starting MFP are only 1/3 of the weight I've lost since February 2012. Over 60 pounds total so far. There's a long road ahead of me and I know that it's only going to go through very hard work. I swim, do aquafit, walk on the weekends, and keep busy as much as I can. Don't give up. It's…

When I get to where I'm craving anything I can cram into my mouth because I want to soothe my emotions, I drink water. Then I find something that will keep my hands busy and my mind from going in circles. (I knit, crochet, do puzzles, go for walks, call a friend who will talk me past it or even go and throw rocks in the…

Let's see.... Earplugs! Can you open a window in your room? (freezing them out might keep your sanity and feed your need for revenge). If not... try 15 minutes of movement (ie. dance to your own music, walk/move on the spot, lift some freeweights (soupcans if you don't have them).... then put your tunes on that you like,…

Milk... Yes. I'll drink milk. Not a whole lot but after being in a pool for two hour swimming laps and doing aquafit, I find that milk actually helps. That doesn't mean that I'm going to drink a load of it but it has its place in diet. This information is in a whole lot of places: "Milk delivers a mix of carbohydrates,…

It's almost winter here so I go to bed in fleece or flannel pj pants and a top with sleeves. Once I get warm things start to disappear. In warmer months it's a nightgown or panties and a cami.

Give it a couple of days and then take another test. Don't get it from a dollar store either. A good test costs more but is really alot more sensitive. Don't panic because it's liable to just be that your cycle is changing because you're exercising and eating differently.

I was a mom who got prenant while obese. My daughter was never skinny but never fat till she became an adult. Even then she was healthy and active. Her children are healthy, active but not skinny. None of them are what anyone would call fat either. The fact simply is that if your eating habits aren't good, you're not going…

I was almost to 50 lbs. lost when I was finally able to drop a size. It's frustrating but the smaller you get, the closer the lbs are when you switch sizes.

I'm in BC.

When my mother went to the "nursery" in the hospital to get me a couple of nurses were looking at the babies. What one of them said to the other made my mom very upset. It was " Oh look, a square baby." They were looking at me. I was never anything but chunky and then downright fat.

It's listed as one gram of carbs per packet.

We all blow it once in a while. We're human. Suck it up, log it honest, and get on with things. The worst that you can do to is gain a couple of pounds. Now.... get yourself back on track and get on with things. Oddly enough, you might have done your body some good. You might just have reset your body to where it isn't…

It sounds like you need to go and talk with your doctor about getting help for depression first of all. If you're serious about getting a handle on your life, you're going to need to start figuring out how to care for yourself and about yourself. That means.... you need professional help. Once you can get that help, things…

It doesn't take a long time for you to get to where you want to be. Ask yourself if you want it badly enough to start over right now.The sooner you start, the sooner you're at your goal. Then you can concentrate on maintaining that weight in a healthy and safe way. And that's where most of us haven't gotten to yet either.

You've made a really good start! Keep up the good work!

My ex-husband could and did. My son-in-law does very intricate braids, knots and so on. He also does my granddaughter's hair most days. He did even before my daughter passed away because he loves to work with braids and material of all sorts. My family all knew how to mend and make nets for fishing too so all the men could…

Salmon (jarred Pacific Sockeye or Pink) with kelp flakes, dill pickles and chives even without bread or crackers

About.com says "Many people believe that the definition of a normal bowel movement is having 1 movement each day, but that is not true for everyone. There is no rule for frequency of bowel movements, but the general range is from 3 times a day to 3 times a week. " And that's what it says on several sites...

Wear her apron in the kitchen and out to the barbecue. (give the guy his own.... with a manly look to it)

This is what I tell some of the little old people that I take care of. Throw an apple into the microwave for 2 minutes in 8ths... with cinnamon and sit down and eat one every day. If not that... it might be time to stew a few prunes.

You were saying that you've found out that you're anaemic as well. That might be part of the reason that you're feeling as you are. Have you discussed working on your anaemia with your doctor? Ask for suggestions. Stop by a health food store once you have those suggestions and talk with them about getting supplements that…

Tweaking your settings and not eating back all the exercise calories might just work for you. Don't give in. Don't give up. This is a long term battle most of us are fighting for all we're worth. You can win this one.
