evaporated milk is a good sub for cream. Cornstarch has a recipe for white sauce on the side of the box that has not fat in it at all.

I have found that taping the bottom of my feet with sports tape keeps the tendon from over extending and really helps with the pain. Also moving to non weight bearing exercises like bike or pool exercises is better than running/walking.

Are you eating 1,200 calories a day plus exercise calories? If not, then you body will go into starvation mode and hang on to every calorie it can. I know it's hard, but try to focus on eating healthy and improving fitness, the scale does not tell the whole story.

Good for you! keep up the good work.

Have you had a physical lately? Thyroid, low iron levels, several other medical factors could be the problem.

I find that after eating really clean, low fat meals a high fat meal does not stay in my system long enough to become weight. Plus there is the extra exercise from running to the potty!

I'm no physiologist, but I like to analyse myself and you can decide it you're dealing with some of the same issues. I start freaking out when I lose enough weight that men start to notice me. Not that any one has ever said or done anything. Just looks in parking lots, shopping malls etc. It is so easy to hide behind the…

Thanks, that's what I'm seeing, 1-2 lbs after three/four hour session. Just wanted to make sure. Gardening is fun, but in the Georgia sun, quite a workout! :flowerforyou:

As a result, everyone is much healthier and happier. Clearly communicating feelings and motivations strengthens the relationship and family.

Frozen mango gives me the same feelin as ice cream give it a try.

I bought a head of iceberg lettuce for when I'm not hungry, just want to chew something. Not many nutrients, but no calories to speak of either and it does crunch just a bit. I don't use dressing, just peal a leaf and eat. Satisfies my "mindless" eating impulse.

WOW! That's a lot to deal with. Since you mentioned church, I'll share with you what gets me thru trying times. The phrase to repeat is "Everything works for the good of those who believe". I know sometimes that seems impossible, that there is absolutely no way something bad can be good for you, but we can't see God's big…

Try not to think of your exercise as one huge chunk of time, break it up into short breaks. I set my phone to go off every hour and I do two minutes of dumbbell work until reach my daily goal. It keeps me from sitting to long and actually helps clear my head. Likewise you can play tag with your six year old, ride bikes (…

Well said.

Thank you for asking that question, I had wondered what Bump meant.

expand your vocabulary to the point where even though you are calling them an idiot, they think you are complementing them
