Here's a tip: Ignore the ones that think fresh juice is the devil, especially the ones with the diaries full of edible food like substances in lieu of fresh actual food.

I'm not sure if you're serious or not, but in case you are - 1 cup = 8 ounces, so a 24 oz bottle = 3 c of water.

After 19 days of 100+ , we are at 99 today, but go back up to 102 tomorrow. Really, really tired of sweating for no reason.

Welcome! A good way to jump in is to start replying to topics on the boards and there are some groups you might be interested in joining - click on 'groups' above and check them out -- there are all kinds -gender, weight, age, interests, etc -- like guys only, 100+,to lose, getting fit in your 20's and 30's - just about…

THIS, so much

I think under 2000 mg "may have marked detrimental effects and/or increase your chances of death" is a pretty broad interpretation of the study findings. What the study actually says is lowering too much may increase the risk of adverse health effects for those with mid-to late- stage heart failure who are receiving…

Fantastic - congrats on all the hard work and fabu results!

A body size test that makes me feel better!! I was 3 sizes over, "you are 15% smaller than you think you are". Yay! Just the mental boost I needed!! I think I'm going to write that on my mirror!

For me, the fiber is set too low and the sodium too high, but that's me. I don't tell (or expect) someone else to change their settings to suit me. I set the fiber at 25 for the base number (MFP increases it automatically when I have exercise calories) and it is a minimum for me. Sodium I set at 2000, but I aim for…

Yay for you! You are awesome! Congratulations on all the hard work!

Do you eat pasta? There are so many cold pasta dishes -loaded with vegetables, and with or without chicken/meat. They keep very well in an insulated lunch bag. Recent ones have been asparagus/spinach/penne w/pine nuts and Chinese chicken noodle salad. Sandwiches -I like veggie, especially when it's hot: lettuce, tomato,…

These always crack me up. Why in the world would one think actual real natural food, like freshly made juice, is something to run away from? Is only juice something one should live on forever? Well, no. Does it hurt to go all juice or fruit for a couple of days? No, of course not. OP, I haven't done a juice fast, so I…

OP, this would be a good one to post on the Website Suggestion/Feedback board as the people who run this site appear to check that alot more than the misc boards.

Chicken breasts Almond Milk (Sweetened, Unsweetened, Vanilla) Asparagus Avocados Bananas Beets Blueberries Broccoli Lettuce Green onions Strawberries Simply Naked Pita Chips Hummus Cucumbers Swiss cheese Plain Greek yogurt Chobani flavoried yogurt Carrots…

[/quote] I see nothing wrong with wanting support to be from either Type A or Type B. I only have issues with people who THINK they are Type B, but really are Type C - negative criticism and punishing or dismissive. [/quote] Yes. And to add to the Type C traits that I can do without - the self-determined 'expert' - the…

There are books, probably available at your library -some are: Dinner's in the Freezer by Jill Bond; 'Don't Panic, Dinner's in the Freezer' and "More Don't Panic, Dinner's in the Freezer' by S. Martinez/V. Howell/B. Garcia; "Frozen Assets - Cook for a Day, Eat for a Month". Some of it will be of no use to you (big family…

I am now 40B. Lane Bryant has a new line of bra's - I think they are called 'cleavage solution' - that perk the girls right up - you can find 40B's if you hit the store right when they get delivered or on-line. Highly recommended.

I went dairy free 25 years ago because my child couldn't tolerate any dairy and I was nursing him. For me, it wasn't that hard. Rice or almond milk took care of the liquid dairy. Calcium-fortified orange juice, just to be on the safe side. Lots of vegetables and whole grains. I didn't miss the cheese. A lot of processed…

Give us a little info --- what kinds of foods do you like? Not like? Allergies? Time available? Enjoy cooking? Novice or experienced cook? Do you have a crock pot?

Well, I never said kill the child. But if you have to train your little kids to lock themselves in somewhere so their older brother doesn't hurt them or worse, then yes, I think you have to look at this issue. And if, god forbid, he did seriously injure or kill one of them, then she's lost both of them because he would be…

Unbelievably, not only did the shooter have access to all those assault weapons, his mother made sure he was taught how to use them! Re this woman's story - While I totally agree that mental health care access is shamefully lacking in this country, I was very disturbed by the part about the younger children having been…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I haven't, but I work with a lady that has one yearly and absolutely swears by them.

Of course, those hardy, hearty folk back in the day were getting deliveries of fresh milk from normal diary cows who ate normal cow food, which is vastly different from the practice today. Today's cows are given so much medication and stimulators and antibiotics and "food" that milk from today's cows is nowhere near what…

After having not just 1, but 2 personal trainers try to convince my son that he NEEDED to consume mass amounts of whey AFTER they had been told that he was ALLERGIC"but you MUST, you NEED it or you will NEVER gain any muscle" I'm quite happy to have them never open their mouth about diet/nutrition. (btw, he now trains with…

I bought new bra's yesterday and I am down a band size!! I knew the old size was getting big because I had to put it on the farthest hook,but I didn't think it was too big, but I was feeling optimistic so I tried the next size down and woo-hoo!! it fits!!
