I don't like going to bed hungry. :(

That sounds great, thank you!

Yuck.

I'm in.

Get him to set up an account here. You guys can compare diaries, and you can encourage him every day. Maybe bribe him, lol. Get him to set a goal (like, an amount he wants to lose by Christmas).. And if he meets his goal you have to treat him to a night on the town or something.

Lamb!

That's what I had last weekend. My grocery store has bags of "no-yolk" egg noodles for $1. I skipped the ketchup and used beef oxo, put it over the noodles..voila. Poor lady stroganoff. Lol.

Check out the family packs of meat as well, you might be able to find a big tray of pork chops or chicken legs/thighs for under $10 on sale. You can separate them and freeze them for later. Enough meat for a week or two! Look on the net for recipe ideas, you can cook things in such different ways that you won't get bored.

When I'm broke I usually get a sack of potatoes and a big bag of carrots (the regular ones, not the little cut up ones, those are usually more expensive). Then I cruise the meat section and find the cheapest thing possible. Lol. Sometimes stewing beef is cheap, or those little beef roasts for $5 or $6. I either roast them…

I've only had aspartame once, and it caused me to have a severe stroke. I haven't risked trying any other artificial sweeteners since, so I just use regular sugar or syrup.. Just less. Once and a while I get a craving for pop, and I'll have a sip or two from someone else's (non-diet), it's enough to get rid of the craving.…

Exactly! It will be a cold day in hell when I take advice about the health and well being of my child from strangers on the Internet over a licensed medical professional.

I have one more thought on this. Imagine someone's 8 year old develops juvenile diabetes. They go to the school to discuss with the nurse their child's medication needs and such. During the conversation the nurse lets slip that for the last 3 years she's been watching your child get larger, and larger. She was concerned…

So if the nurse is fat, it's ok that your child is fat?

I really don't get why anyone would be offended by this. Is not about you, it's about the child. If the child is overweight, educate yourself and do something about it. Get a dr's opinion, do what you gotta do. It's not ok for kids to be fat, people have to stop pretending it is.

I had no idea if I could, so I just tried. I had no problem doing it for 5 minutes on each leg, I could have kept going but I got bored. I could start to feel my quads working by the end of it though, I'm really out of shape, but I guess I've got good balance, Edit- I just did it again, and my calves are killing me!!

Maybe it's the type of cream that results in a wiggly ball 'o joy after 9 months. That type made my gals huge!

If you entered into your profile to lose 1 lb a week, that 500 calories is already accounted for. You should make sure your profile is set up correctly, then eat all the calories you are given for the day. What you do with exercise calories (if any) is up for debate. I eat about half of mine back.

I've had Raynaud's for years (not self diagnosed) and I didn't know it was a symptom until this thread! Lol. I had to look at my nails and check.

I have Raynaud's and my nails have ridges. Doesn't mean that's why you have them, but it might.

Good for you! Let us know how it goes.

Go to he doctor. They will see your weight (if they don't, tell them your weight). Then, tell them how much you eat in a day. Go from there. Good luck to you. (And if you're a troll, good luck to you as well).

I think we're losing around the same rate. I've been on 60 days and lost 14 lbs. I would love to lose faster as well, but everyone seems to say that slower is better. At least we're going in the right direction!

I've thought about this too, I think it would be fun!

Thanks guys! I guess I've been running a lot slower than I realized. Time for me to pick up the pace!

An overeater.

Omg this made me laugh so hard!!

There's a listing in the database for "Homemade pork stock". I think it is 19 calories per cup.

Saturday was the last night for me. My drinking was getting out of hand.. I really hope that I can stop on my own.

I'm done! Woot! My legs are burning!!

I'm in!
