Absolutely spot on.....Step 1: We admitted we were powerless over [people, places and things....food, alcohol, sugar, caffiene, cigarettes, fill in the blank] – that OUR lives had become unmanageable. And the best part, you don't need to do it alone, because Step 2: Came to believe that at Power greater than ourselves…

Dark chocolate fairy food. Totally wicked.

A cup of coffee with sugar and 1/2 & 1/2. Yum.

I toasted in the new year with a cup of whole organic milk at 12:01a. It helps that I don't drink. LOL

What a beautiful journey, thank you for sharing and inspiriting.

(nice packer logo...GO PACK) I have leftovers and I have three people in our household to share them with. We've calculated that leftovers have, at best, a 10% chance of being eatern. I also work and have a busy off work shedule, so it makes cooking a fancy meal difficult during the week. My hubby and I eat a LOT of fresh…

My take on that is that people in the UK are very confused since they've recently been told that Men are happiest when sharing the housework (and, no, you didn't misread that, ladies) "according to a study published by Cambridge University, men actually like to do the housework."…

Sweet!

I haven't been to a gym in 2 decades, but I exercise every day. Yoga, walk the dogs, walk the hubby, walk the lawn mower, elliptical (fortunate to have one), and on weekends I put in 3-4 hours of cleaning effort.

I hear you. I know what you mean, and you are right. But God and the internet gave people the free will to do wha they want. Nod to the effort to be a good samariten.

I know you don't want to hear from those younger than 60 (which I am) but I am in menopause, which for me created a DRASTIC slow down in my metabolism. What worked for me is to: * eliminate bread, pasta, crackers (basically all WHEAT products which aren't sprouted grains) from my diet. * drastically reduced my sugar…

Agreed. Fools my tummy into thinking it's getting something tasty, and leaves my mouth fresh and clean....I like sugar free 5. :)

Interesting....I was thin for most of my life, very thin and didn't have to work too hard to stay that way until menopause. I spent all my life hiding my God given thinness, because it was embarrassing when people heavier than me made a big deal about it. At 46 and in menopause, my metabolism changed and I gained weight…

I researched the 'net and am calculating an average of 4 calories / min for Power Yoga, which "should" be similar. It's basically a lot of vinyasas to get the blood pumping. I figure it's better to be too low than high, since I happily eat my calories back. The fact that you are sweating in a hot room isn't really burning…

"I had lost my job, broke my leg and my bf left me with no way to pay for our place. I had to move back with my mom. I stayed there and went to school because it was easier and helped me save money. I just bought a 4plex in december and gave one unit to my mom for letting me stay there all those years." Nice way to give…

Depending on the age group, yes.

Go PACK.....any woman in Wisconsin knows more than most men. heehee

I had a similar weight gain as I went into menopause. I'm 48. Went into full menopause at 46. I've always been thin and it used to be easy to stay both in shape and keep the weight off with little more effort than eating well. Then BAM, I started gaining a 1lb every 3 months. Mine was hormonal imbalance. Since I am a…

I agree, what's wrong with hand washing? Personally, I'm not that ambitious. I admire your energy and frankly I bet it saves you a little money too! Bully for you. I buy enough workout clothes for everyone in the family to last the week. Damp clothes get hung up to dry before throwing them into the hamper. With a family of…

Eat them.

LOL I listen to talk radio and politics....that's a good way to get one's heart beat going :)

i like using the barcode feature on the iPhone app...I've found nearly EVERYTHING I've eaten so far that has a barcode, including the turkey I got from my local Pick n Save. The only thing it seems to have some challenges with are the barcodes on some fruits. I do the same thing as above to narrow down the…

They are right, you need therapy, unless your therapist told you to use this site/app to help you deal with your condition. People here ARE trying to learn to eat healthy, most to lose weight or condition for something specific. I don't know if you'll find enough people recovering from orthorexia to get a good support…

Yoga, no. Everything else, yes, because I need to wear inserts in my shoes....trying to recover from plantar fasctia :-|

God BLESS menopause. ;)

STRONG, LARGE and HOT....Starbucks Venti - French roast brewed at home with my Moccamaster. Add in a1/4 cup of REAL 1/2 & 1/2 and 2 teaspoons of tasty Raw Sugar....and I happily pay for the privilege of drinking it every day by eating a modest lunch. :-O

I have a Precor at home, and I live in next to a state park. I mix it up. Sometimes I have to combine work with exercise to get my day in before bed. Those are days the computer goes up on the book rest and I plow through my cardio and backlog....and the dog goes up onto the treadmill which sits right next to the Precor.…
