I have 7, 4 boys and 3 girls........boy, girl, boy girl, boy, girl, boy.....They are all grown now, youngest will be 25 this year, oldest will be 44........I was scorned after my third, but so glad that I accepted the challenge to care for all that were sent....I love each one, and can not imagine how life could have been…

I'ts alway good to mix it up and find even more favorites to throw into the mix!!!! Go for it!!!

:wink: Kegels are great for pelvic floor muscles, plank and a few others really help abs....great thing is, that you don't have to do crunches to strengthen the abs,,,,there are other options!!!

Not all calories are created equal, so eating clean, aerobic exercises and toning exercise can help abs a little more.....once you have fat cells they don't go away, they shrink, or fill. There is liposuction of course, and there is another procedure( I believe it is called body sculpting) where the fat cells are treated…

The only reason I would cut traditional breads entirely would be if you are like one of my friends that has Celiac disease, or if you had other allergic responses. She actually does have carbs but they have to be 100% gluten free. As a teenager, before the doctors figured out what was wrong, she nearly died from the…

My favorite peanut butter is what I grind myself from peanuts I buy from " Good Earth"

I just do it a simple way, and drink 3 cups of water before each meal, or with the meal.

We will have our 44th wedding anniversary in June of this year......and loved every day of our journey together! We met and married later than many.....I was nearly 24 and my husband 25 when we married.

I prepared them a very simple way: cleaned and trimmed fresh sprouts.Cut them in half. Steamed in a covered pan with some water and chicken broth, to which I had added some minced garlic. I also added some canned chicken breast, (broken up). I later removed the lid, added some fresh basil and reduced liquid. They were…

Not scared about it! but Highly processed foods often just have too much of this necessary item in them....I've read that 1500mg daily is generally all that is needed when you are older, such as over 60, and 5,000 mg daily, or more for an extended period of time can be harmful. An occasional high usage will only give you…

I don't know if anyone already posted this recipe, but if not it is very good.....I just call it pumpkin curry soup: It can be found on the Doctor Oz website as: Cancer-Fighting Spicy Pumpkin Soup The secret ingredient in this soup is antioxidant-rich pumpkin. The beta-carotene it contains can block the growth of cancerous…

One of my favorite things to make with mashed pumpkin is a delicious recipe for a curry soup: Recipe from Dr. Oz website: Cancer-Fighting Spicy Pumpkin Soup The secret ingredient in this soup is antioxidant-rich pumpkin. The beta-carotene it contains can block the growth of cancerous cells. Easy to make, this curried soup…

I incorporate the helpful hints that I can relate to, and it helps me......I ( thumbs up for doctor Oz and his desires to help people to help themselves!!!!!!...............

I use prograde vanilla whey protein from prograde.com ..sometimes I can get plain whey protein powder from the bulk section of the health food store and mix them...Prograde is not too sweet, tastes good, and the website has deals where they can be purchased at a reduced price......usually with 15% off I usually buy a case…

I guess I'm a bit different from most everyone else. For cold cereal I like to use honey bunches of oats as a base, and then I mix in other cereals. Sometimes I add homemade lowfat granola, bran flakes, grapenuts or whatever I have on hand. I might add extra almonds or some dried fruit. For cooked cereal I like oatmeal, 7…

I'm 67 years old and trying to make the best food choices I can for my health.....I grind my own grains to make my bread and have a lot of fun with it.....I'm sure I'm not the cleanest eater, but I'm moving towards more whole foods.....I eat lunch at…

Sweet thread, thanks for helping me find it Hannah, I'll post some recipes that I've been testing lately with my modifications....Thanks for sharing everyone!!!!

I meant eating less sweets...not just less in general....a nice little piece of dark chocolate consumed slowly is also very pleasant for satisfying a craving......savor the flavor......

Fruit, and just eating less will eventually help the cravings to diminish....there are bodily hormones that stimulate the cravings...... take care, Shari:happy: :flowerforyou:

Amazing changes,:happy: a testimony to what a person can accomplish with dedication and hard work....You are an inspiration to others......:happy:

Congratulations! and best of health to you!!!!!

There are so many good suggestions here....I cut out sugar, and now mostly have fruit and natural sugars...I do have some desserts on occasion, but never much....I never have cravings anymore unless I start having desserts more frequently...........less sugar begats less cravings.....you have to learn your level of…

My husband likes them when still firm just starting to turn yellow...I like them alright that way, but I really rarely eat them alone, unless they are frozen . I always have them with something else like in cereal, frozen and in my smoothie or with chocolate or peanut butter. frozen wit a few other favorite flavors added…

I have mine public, because it is helpful to me. I find that when I am willing to share, others are too, and I like the ideas I can glean from others...No one has ever made a negative comment, and like another member stated, when someone is under all the time, and not doing as well as they want, and ask for help, I really…
