One of the most important thing that you need to do is to make your daughter and active part of this process. Right now the only thing I see that she has an active role in is leaving part of her treat. I totally agree with the person who said that it is necessary to portion treats. However, it should not be for you or mom…

I definitely have this. I have to be better. So glad you posted this. Awareness is a great catalyst!

HI Specky, You might want to start preplanning your day. Decide the night before what you are going to eat and in what quatities. Then post it first thing in the morning. When you go to reach for something, you have to constantly ask yourself "Is that on my menu?" If the answer is no then it doesn't go in your mouth.…

Blink14, I will most likely be verbally throttled for this, but sometimes our vitamins and minerals are out of whack. That was the problem with both my daughter and I. After reading an article in First Magazine about Vitamin D, Magnesium and Potassium, we went to the Vitamin Shoppe. The staff who works there is so helpful…

Yes, I would label what your sister is doing as fat shaming. While I agree with some of the others that she is afraid of gaining back what she has lost, it does not give her license to belittle anyone. Some people call them snide remarks, but they are really hurtful. I hope that you can find a way to talk to her about this…

So let me get this straight...a criminal justice and law enforcement officer academy student wants to know how much to tip his instructors? Are you freakin kidding me? LOL!!! Best Laugh Ever!

How many of you were there when this woman was told that she was in violation of the dress code. None. That's what I thought. Yet, we are all taking this woman's word as gospel. Of course, she is telling the truth. Of course, it couldn't be that simple that she violated the code and was asked to cover up or she would have…

I do homemade and enter it into the recipe maker.and save it. That way I have it as a reference on how I made something and what the calories are. It's a fantastic tool. Premade things have way too much sodium and other chemicals for preservatives. You can make homemade things that are way tastier!

I don't know what your program is right now. Weight loss supplements would not be something I would be looking into. With the fact that you have children, I would think you would want to show them a good example by eating healthy food and teaching them to make healthy choices. You want them to know how important it is to…

SIze8Suzie, people get their panties in a bunch when someone posts a topic twice or posts a topic that has been posted before. They love calling people out on their shortsightedness. I just find it amazing that it takes even more effort for them to post a caustic comment as it would to post something helpful. Once I did…

Food is absolutely amazing, I agree and it's easy to get carried away with snack things because we don't pay attention to what we are eating. Most often we eat mindlessly and the only things we remember about eating a chocolate bar is the noise of breaking the wrapper, the first bite, and the crinkling sound of the wrapper…

Congratulations! You look great! All of your hard work is certainly paying off.

While I cannot comment as to whether or not everything that Ms. Clark said is true or not, I was curious. So I looked up Nancy Clark. She has written books and offers courses etc.which can be purchased from her website. Then I looked up pioneer of sports nutrition and ran across a different woman's name, I believe it was…

Your schedule sounds really hectic. Are you sure you are getting enough sleep? Also make sure you are getting enough water. I know people preach it, but sometimes we just forget how important it is. I went back to read what your goal is and it is really doable. Don't give up and don't get discouraged. Remember also to give…

Mother of 5 here, three boys and two girls. First of all, you cannot confuse them. You cannot go back and forth between diapers (pull-ups) and regular undies. If you are potty training, it's undies all the way. No plastic pants either (if they still sell them). When I was ready to potty train them, I would tell them I…

No kind of exercise sucks for fat loss. However, both cardio and lifting have their merits. After reading all of the posts of those who hate cardio, I've come to the conclusion that I would hate it too, if I was using machines at a gym. I think I would feel like a hamster on a wheel in a pet store window. For me, I have to…

Definitely for childhood vaccines. The flu shot, that's a different story. That's the drug companies' best guess as to which strain of the flu might be prevalent during the coming year. Their like the weather forecasters...sometimes they're right and sometimes they're wrong. I am an oldster and I remember when the polio…

Wow! It's so amazing how differences in opinion certainly bring out the cattiness in people. First of all, there is no best way to lose weight. Not everyone likes the same things. Not everyone works out in the same way. I know this is going to sound blasphemous, but calories in and calories out doesn't work for everyone.…

I don't know if anyone posted this or not, but Splenda in the packets and the small boxes that are meant to be sweeteners for coffee etc, is different from Splenda that is packaged for baking. The Splenda for baking contains sugar. It was formulated to cut down on the sugar in baked goods and the sugar was necessary to get…

The next time she tells you it's her desk, ask her how much she paid for it. Then tell her, that it is the company's desk and anyone has the right to be at it. Tell her she has 5 minutes to remove her personal items from the desk or you will box them for her and put them in the boss's office. Tell her you are tired of her…

I think I am the oldest person to post here. I am also morbidly obese. I am great at encouraging people. I am on every day and I comment on every body's status who posts. I used to cook for 7,. so I do understand where you are coming from.

I lost 140 pounds by cutting out all carbs. Then I hit a plateau and instead of working harder, I added carbs to "shock" my body into thinking things had changed up. Well they did and I just kept adding more and more until the weight returned. This time I hope things will be better, because I am taking a more realistic…

My name is really simple, but I ran across a number of different names of classmates of my kids. ****head pronounced sha-teed'. Female pronounced fa-mal'-lay. Twins named Fibula and Tibula. Orangejello pronounced or-on'-zhe-lo. Lemonjello pronounced le-mon'-zhe-lo.

This person sounds like an old fashioned snake oil salesman. Unfortunately in the area of health and nutrition, there are always going to be those who make their money at the expense of gullible people looking for the next miracle fat eraser, elixir of life, or fountain of youth. You have to learn to filter through what…

With all of the threads on this subject, I had to find the episode online and watch it. It was evident that the judges had not seen any of the contestants since they left. You could tell how pleased they were with how the contestants were able to continue following the advice they were given. When it came to Rachel, the…

The person who advised you to call the superintendent and notify him/her of the situation is right on the mark. Also find the name of the school board President and bring the incident to his attention. To further make certain that this principal gets the message loudly and clearly that (1) unsupervised children on the…

Yah! I'm betting troll. Or maybe...college student who decided to do a thesis or dissertation on what kind of advice people on weight loss forums give to people who ask inane questions. Either way hopefully we're not biting.

Why in the name of heaven and earth would you ever take anything that would cause panic, anxiety and depression. As someone who suffers from panic and anxiety, I do everything possible never to have an attact. Something that causes this cannot be good at all.

Always Starbucks coffee. I even brew it at home. As for the sugar. I started off drinking it with all the sugar and then gradually cut back. I still use sugar, less than half of what I used to.. I also like a little cocoa in my coffee for a treat and a lttle bit of half and half. I believe that you are never satisfied if…

Absoluitely loved this! You are amazing!
