i am 5'5 and ive weighed 125lbs for a good amount of time. (currently looking to get back to that). my measurements then were 34-26-34. i am 134lbs right now and im 34-30-34. i had a very tiny waist. my husband could almost put his hands around me. im fairly large chested. double d's. i think that is a good goal to set for…

im understanding why we spend so much. our diets are very complicated. we cant eat nearly most of the stuff you listed for onne health reason or another. i do buy a lot of fresh fish and eat it several times a week, cant eat pocorn, bread, or canned fruit. im going to look deeper into the cabinet and see what i can use and…

oh i miss pancakes so much! i had gastric bypass 7 years ago and my husband had lap band a year or two ago so pancakes is a huge no no for us. but boy do i drool when someone else is eating them. ill take your advice on the potatoes. and ill just have to work the sodium into my diet for the day to do soup. the aldi around…

definitely going to look more into a CSA! i love eggplant and the fruit flys just come along with fresh food. im a gardener so they dont phase me. keep the veggies in the garage and wash them out there so that you dont bring anything in. ill take the occasional bug over wax covered produce any day. i think ill go visit the…

the "easy factor" gets me. its much easier to pack my husbands lunch with a few granola pars and string cheese and packages stuff than go through the mess of cooking him something healthy and great and he says he doesnt have the time to eat it, he ends up as gas stations and i end up throwing out whatever i make him…

i love lentils. im italian. its a great way to add to pasta to make it a little bit different.

yes thankyou! this is a great idea

yes! its the cereals and granola that kills us every time. anythign that comes in a box. i only buy fresh fruits and veggies to keep all those preservatives down. all the extra sugar. i have kidney disease so i HAVE to keep that in check. its not just for weight loss. its to keep my body from rotting. my husband is a…

funny you should say..... IM the gardener everyone goes to. now that summer is over im feeling furstrated that i cant just go to my backyard to make dinner. im having issues with my indoor garden. so now its really hard for me to go to the store to buy produce that is so overpriced and tastes horrible (i say overpriced…

[/quote] Soak the dry beans in water for 20-30 min (add baking soda to the water, rinse well, then cook--reduces gassy effect) [/quote] i cook dried beans all the time and i had no idea about the baking soda! thanks for all the information. im delightfully overwhelmed by all these responses.

AWESOME! you just wrote a grocery list for me. thanks a ton.

i should have specified more on the "semi vegetarian" part. i had a kidney transplant in april. meat is hard on the kidney. i stopped eating all meat other than fish. my husband still eats meat, but not nearly as much since im the cook. we both have had weightloss surgery and cant drink pop anymore. i cant seem to get him…

i prefer the dried beans! i get the 15 bean soup bags and ditch the "ham". there is so much sodium in canned beans and they all taste like mush to me anyway. i can get many meals out of that and it costs the same as 2 cans of beans.

ive had two kidney transplants. one from a cadaver in 2001 that did me good for a few years and then just last april my husband gave me one of his.

as long as you have a woman like me thats willing to sheer your back and butt....youre all good. my husbands so hairy i dont know where to start and where to stop. hes got a nice fade :love:

when youve spent as much time in the hospital as i have (14 years in more than out).... i can top any embarrassing bodily fluid story. but im not gonna make it worse reliving it here lol.

dream angels full coverage demi is awesome!

i actually dont think victoria secret is good quality at all. pretty, yes, pretty expensive, even more. they fall apart and snag very easily. i return things more than i keep them. but i will wear nothing but VS bras. i think discovery clothing has a lot of VS knock offs for way cheaper.

another reason to keep logging in

last weekend we were traveling. i was at a gas station that had double doors. one guy that actually looked kinda scummy held the door open for me. i smiled and said thankyou. when i turned to go through the second door the nice looking gentleman cowboy litterally closed the door on my face. i was shocked!

argan oil is great but i only use it every other time i wash my hair. the reason you hair is so shiny coming out of a salon is more in the hair dryer than anything. defusers and roll brush blow outs do it. you can do it yourself, it just takes practice. my favorite shampoo is actually dove. anything with high amounts of…

is there supposed to be a decimal point in there? the green cofee suppliments can help you lose UP TO 2.5 pounds the first few weeks.

i dislike the way people pick words apart. her surgery was a sucess. she got too comfortable. after a cerain amount of years post op, your body slowly starts to react the same as it used to. im sure what she means by "the right way" shes meaning shes trying to reteach herself. it irritates me how many people call weight…

we go out to eat pretty often. ive kinda turned it into a game to find better options on menus. i also dont eat any meat other than fish, so i take full advantage of talking with servers about substitutions. when i first started with this site i did an annoying (to my husband) amount of research on restaurants. we havnt…
