Those of us with depressive disorders always view a single 'off' day as the beginning of the end. And we know the first thing that comes to mind is Eat Eat Eat. But it's only Today. The bum knee will ease up. You can do lots of exercises while sitting or lying down. I know how hard it is to move when you're depressed. So…

You deserve more than a finisher's medal. You deserve a Parade! Super well done. If I had one I would award you "The Silver Sneaker Award"! Great job!

So carrying a gun makes it legal to shoot inconsiderate people?

I teach a womens group things like this. They won't believe it or give it a try. They continue to pay me, waiting for the day I give them the magic key. I buy only the produce I will use in a couple of days. I almost never throw anything out. If you don't over buy, nothing has time to go bad. When you go to the store ONLY…

Yes It Does A Calorie Is A Calorie Is A Calorie. The Nutrition that calorie provides is different. The caloric value is a non word. It's nutrient value, We're talking about.

Well yes if you're only looking at calories. But check the differences in food value. That counts much more.

Me too. Though only lately clicked onto what is was. Bakery products. Especially soft ones. I know how it works in the body but didn't clue in to the fact that it was happening. Big Duh to me:indifferent: :grumble: :flowerforyou: :bigsmile:

Quick reply? Look innocent and say. Hmmm... You don't think this would fit an 8 year old girl? Watch them blush and run. They're trying to make themselves feel better at your expense. Kudos to you that you didn't fall for it.:heart:

It is a fabulous NSV. The only thing I can say is congratulations on continuing to lose. When you get to your goal get the rings properly re-sized by a jeweler. In the meantime you're keeping them close to your heart.:smile:

I walk as well, do a bit of stretching and some slow easy yoga. The treats? That just takes a little discipline. Keep the treats out of your house. Keep good stuff in.

How much more exercise are you doing? That could have triggered something. Have you had it checked at all? I know someone who developed 'out of the blue' dust allergies. They lasted about four years and left as suddenly as they came. Could be anything. I'd get it checked out. xoxox grama:laugh:

Tough question. I have 14 different ones. Not one I would call light-hearted.:tongue: One I find very interesting and not too dry. Is: In Defense of Food, by Michael Polan. It is described as Tough Witty and Lively. :bigsmile: Have a great weekend.

Yes it hurts. One way to look at it is this. There are 8 billion people in the world. Don't let any ONE derail your efforts. You are the only one who can feel bad about you. And you don't have to. We will all support you with NO judgments. We're here to help each other.:smile:

I planned a hiking trip. Four weeks in Peru! I gave myself a year to get ready. I'll be ready!

Do you watch TV? Cushion the floor in front of your TV and stand up and walk in place. It's at least something. And the more you do the more you feel like doing. :smile:

It takes awhile to recover from anything. As long as what you eat is healthy, and you get lots of water. You're doing all you can. If it persists, get it looked at again. Feel better soon.:flowerforyou:

You already have something in your mouth. Your mind says nothing else needs to be there. Also chewing creates saliva so you don't feel as thirsty. Which is said to be a reason a lot of people eat. The chewing response is being satisfied. Some researchers hypothesize that the soft fast foods we eat so much of don't give us…

Thanks for sharing. Drink lots of extra water for a few days. And like someone else said, flushing medications is no longer recommended. They do get into our water supplies. Most pharmacies accept unused medications for proper disposal.

I have a yoga mat, and exercise bands. I can do almost anything with those. Also a handful of books I have studied, to learn form and technique.

Yippee! Josh you are Super Man! You win the Silver Sneaker Award! xoxox . Grama : ) See you on the 'other' side.

What countmeinsaid. You might be able to teach yourself out of this. If you log the "middle of the night" calories first thing in the morning. Then see what you have left for the rest of the day. I'm guessing subconsciously you are telling yourself they don't count

For years I have spent $40.00 a week an groceries. I get all the nutrients I need. And do not eat all generic brands. I also eat almost NO -- prepackaged, pre-prepared, processed, pre-cut, pre-cooked or convenience size anything. I only buy what produce I will use in a day or two. Nothing to throw out. No baby carrots No…

Only join a gym if you know you are going to use it. So many people got for a few weeks and that's it. You can do a good work out at home with very little equipment. Exercise bands in differing resistance levels. A few hand weights and a yoga mat. Much cheaper than an un-used gym membership.

There are 8 billion people in the world. Don't listen to any one but you. You can only get your body to be what genetics allows. You can have my calves. I have muscular calves and skinny skinny ankles. Proportion? Yup. None. But my legs work.

I've studied this from all angles. Talked to a lot of nutritionists. Drs. Scientists. They all agree, disagree. There isn't a definitive answer to most of these studies. It's mostly a case of finding what works for you, and staying within your daily calorie range. I have a degree in Fitness and Nutrition and I personally…

Super YOU. Thanks for posting this. What you wrote is as inspiring as the pictures Kudos:flowerforyou:

Mostly follow the national food guide. Once a week something out of calorie range. Uuummm Junk. and exercise.

You are beautiful. Remember this. Also remember this..... Don't reward yourself with food You are not a puppy :wink: :flowerforyou:

Need to try a few new things? Add some herbs or spices? Cook things in different ways? Eat in a different room? Change your dishes. Different people? Eat faster? Slower? More often? Less often? Sounds like some kind of a change up might be worth trying.

I live in a small town right now. I can walk everywhere, easily. I gave up my vehicle, and save the money for travel. I didn't realize how much it was costing me until I gave it up. I had a mid-size SUV. All combined I'm putting away $400 a month just from that. WooHoo. Someone's going to ask. Loan payment, Insurance,…
