I agree with the other posters, eat out, enjoy your birthday. Something you could do to keep those gift boxes of chocolate away, ask that they donate any money they would spend on your birthday gift to your favorite charity. I am considering "charity water" for my next birthday. The more water I drink daily, the more I…

Yes, but pretty sure in my case it is just good genes. My mother didn't get stretch marks nor did my sister. And we gained between 15-35 lbs per pregnancy. (7 pregnancies between all of us)

I have done 5:2 for about 3 weeks. I took a week off for vacation. I have lost 5 lbs so far. I am really not as hungry as I thought. I usually save most of my calories for dinner so I go to bed full. I do make sure I drink a lot and also have a bullion drink or two. The salt seems to stave off the headaches. Good luck to…

Ostrich steak, it was quite good.

I am a fan of Chick-Fil-A's wraps. I eat them without the full of fat dressings. I forget the calorie count that way, but it is not many. Wendy's has some decent salads too, again without or with very little of their dressing.

Me! Just started today, starving though, just gotta get through it!

bump, sounds awesome!

Burts Bee's for sensetive skin is what I use. Not really natural, but better than some.

I did WW for almost a year and lost close to 30 lbs. Then they changed the point system after I had all my recipies recorded and knew what and how many points were for what food. So I tapered off, gained about 10 back and finally quit. Losing on MFP so I am happy. Only thing is somertimes I forget to log my snacks if it is…

AGREE!!

Wrong, they are all served the same lunch whether they pay or govt pays.

And have you looked at the menu? Here it is crap like, wheat breaded chicken nuggets, whole wheat pizza, turkey frank on whole wheat bun. Mouth watering yet?? How about trying real healthy food instead of taking what kids eat and altering it so they don't like it? They may try something they have never had, you take kids…

For this reason and the fact they my kids say they now taste awful I pack thier lunch every single day.

My nephew eats it with those those baked packaged veggie sticks that are supposed to keep you from wanting potato chips.

These are pricey, but quaker has those new oatmeal cups. They are called real medleys. Even though they are oatmeal, they are portable, because I have done it. Just add water and put in micro while in the shower, it fits in the cupholder in the car. Use the plastic spoons left over from your sons last birthday party,…

This drives me crazy! Although my co-workers did not get me a cake for my birthday, but told me why. They thought I was doing so well and didn't want tempt me.

Do you use it when you cook? Seems like when you cook with it, you don't need it as much at the table. I just cut back a little bit a week unitl I tasted food again. You can also try no Salt.

Yep, sure did, just glad I know better, wish it were true, but it isn't

Weird that I saw this today. Got wayyyyyyyy more info that I wanted today and I didn't even ask for it. A lady today told me it would cure my son's autism. Luckily, I am not stupid enough to believe this, but is this the info they are telling people? I told her I thought it was just weight loss and got an earful. I just…

I first tried roasting veggies ths way with asparagus. Have since tried brussell sprouts, carrots, radishes, zucchini, summer squash, and now broccoli. Loved them all except the carrots, which is funny since carrots are my favorite veggie to eat raw. Even my kids eat veggies this way. Sometimes I will add bacon bits or…

I don't know what any of those things are! Guess I need to get my fanny to a gym.

Those tuna lunch packs if you like tuna. You can get them already made into salad, or the ones that you add mayo and relish that come with it. I get those usually so I can control how much I add. And campbells "soup at hand". Heats in its own cup, no need to add water.

Quinoa, taste like dirt

As a parent, I wouldn't allow my kids to eat fruit given out by a stranger. razor blades and all that. Besides, giving fruit might just get your house TP'D.
