I'm going to give it a try. I'll let you know how it works out.

Post your outcome over the next few weeks with this change. I would like to know if this is worth trying for my arthritis pain rather than the toxic injections and pills I take.

I have recently learned that "me time" is a very important thing in my life for mental and physical reasons. I have set one night per week that my husband and daughter are on their own and I go do something alone. Some weeks it's a pedicure, dinner with friends, or just wondering around the local book store to find…

Thanks!!!:smile:

Hi, I have been on MFP for a while now but I can not seem to loose weight either. I stopped smoking and started Prozac about 11 months ago and like you I have gained about 20-25. I am so much happier than I have been in several years but I have always been a pretty small person and this extra weight is driving me insane. I…

Put it in with some corn, black beans, tomatoes, onions, peppers, taco seasoning, and some water. Let it simmer for about 30 minutes and enjoy some chicken chili.:love:

Marie, It sounds like you are on the right track for getting back on your feet and out there walking more with Sammy. Hang in there.:smile:

Marie I am so glad to hear that you are feeling a little better!!!

Marie I have had these shots in my back a couple of times and it really hurts for the first few days after getting the shot and then you should feel better than you have in a really long time. Hang in there it will get better with time. Watch those carbs they can be mean to you when it comes to your sugar.

Thank you for the prayer!!! Sounds like you had a great day on Friday.:flowerforyou:

I have a Jack Russell that is 8 years old and his name is Bandit. He was born deaf and we taught him to obey with signs. He has been a great dog to our family. When my now 5 year old was a newborn Bandit would lay there and watch for her to move and he would come to my bed andwake me up then run straight to her crib. For…

Jack Russells are great walking companions! Mine is to old to walk with me anymore but he is still great company. You should start a thread for Jack Russell parents.:love:

Try going on Coupons.com for diaper coupons and use generic brand formula, its the same ingredients and the expensive stuff.

I am not a big fan either:sick: but I am finding that adding fruits, rasins, tuna, or chickpeas :love: helps add something to it. Just keep switching it up until you find something that you like. The wrap idea is great with a wheat wrap and fat free ranch. Sounds yummy!!!

I will try the 64oz of water per day and let you know how it goes. Thanks!!!:smile:

tdbear, thank you for the kind words of wisdom! :smile:

Hi, my name is Toby and I have recently become addicted to food. I had always been very thin until I stopped smoking 7 months ago. I just can not seem to get enough to eat anymore. I keep saying that I am going to cut back on my portions and then when I eat it is a totally different story. I have a 5 year old daughter and…

:happy: We can do this!!! My goal is to drink more water and have small snacks between meals this week. So far I have not done too well but we will see how the rest of the week goes.

We can weigh in on Monday's and compare notes on what is working and not working.

I feel all of you on this tired and aching all of the time and not wanting to do anything. I need to do something to get this weight off and get back to a healthy me. I am going to try the reading while on the ball and see if that disracts me enough to get in some muscle stretching and a little calorie burning. I am open…

:love: My husband and I celebrated our 11 year wedding anniversary this past weekend and he took me to a place called Harry and Izzy's and they had the best food ever!!! A little high priced but awesome food!!! I felt guilty to stray away from my healthy eating but then I felt guilty to not enjoy the fabulous weekend that…

I did some research this weekend and found several items to try plus all of the suggestions that I have gathered from this post. I also found out that should be eating between 1200-1300 calories per day + exercise calories. :happy: I can do this!!! If I can stop smoking after 16 years I can lose 28 pounds.:happy:

Thank you all for the suggestions, they are great. These suggestions have changed my outlook on this and I will do my homework this weekend and find things that will make me feel satisfied. If anyone has any other hints or suggestions I am open to anything at this point. Thanks!!! :smile:

:flowerforyou: Great job on stopping 4 days ago!!! It was and still is the hardest thing that I have ever done in my life. I had to change everything about my daily routine so that I was not wanting a smoke. Exercise and eat healthy now so that you do not gain a lot of weight. I can not remember the name of the site where…
