There is a socio-demographic factor that can come into play if only because families on limited or tight budgets are able to get more food for their money if they buy cheaper, unhealthy, prepackaged foods. On the other hand, I've known a lot of people who lived along who, on limited budgets, just eat less and are thin and…

That is the silliest thing I ever heard. The only time there are restrictions are if you are doing yoga. There are possitions they recommend you do not due if having your period or if pregnat. Working out actually is supposed to help reduce various PMS symptoms. I grew up near a beach and would spend all summer at the…

It was never a feeling of fear but a feeling of being out of place and someplace I wasn't wanted. I didn't let it bother me so much when I was 140 or 170 lbs. But once I was over 200 lbs I found the feeling even more pervasive. It didn't help that I had a pinched nerve and Plantar Fasciitis so I couldn't do a lot of things…

This would be my thing too. They say that seeing the numbers at the places that do post them is not causing people to order different things. But I've actually changed my mind about what I planned to order when I saw the calories. So if it caused me to modify what I ordered I can't be the only one. I just wish more info…

Tom Baker (Four) was my first so he will probably always be my favorite. Peter Davidson (Five) was dreamy but a little too moody. Nine, whose name I forget, was attractive and very good but that never when anywhere. I LOVE Matt Smith because there is something very much like Tom Baker about him and I loved it. David…

I missed the original quote. Subtitled films I love: Battle Royal Eat Drink Man Woman My Left Eye Sees Ghosts British Dark Comedies I love: The Baker Hotel Splendide Those are top of my head films. There are many others.

I think it was too choppy for those of us who read the books. I also think that they did such an amazing job at realizing the Battle Room and then they didn't spend much time on the events that happened there.

Cockney's VS Zombies. It was funny. Some of the gross scenes were a little too gross. But still very good for Horror Comedy.

The Migraine comment at the end, all by itself, is reason enough for such a notebook, aside from any other reasons. That is how doctor's recommend you find out your migraine triggers! Do you see a different doctor for your migraines, because if you don't then there is no reason for this doctor's reaction to your notebook.…

RE: original burger post. 1. not feminism. 2. about body image 3. I bet the second burger tastes better. It hasn't been sprayed and shelacked and all the other nasty stuff they do to make food hold up and look good under camera lights.

Two middle aged cats and a nearly middle aged roommate. At least teh roommate requires very little care and upkeep.

1200 is based on lowest amount one should ever eat. It is also based on sedentary status and should include more if you are really working out and pushing yourself. But my nutritionist wants me at 1400. MFP is recommending 1200, so I try to work out every day so MFP adds more calories and feel good about 1400 to 1500. (My…

Diabetes does make a really good excuse for refusing treats. I use it. But then it can result in low sugar cookies or other diebetes 'friendly' treats.

It is good but I find millet to be MUCH tastier. Saute some onion and garlic in olive oil. If you want, add some diced or minced up chicken at this point. Next add the millet and roast the millet. It brings out a rich, nutty flavor. Add water and seasonings you want to use. Then let cook. Check the water to millet ratio on…

I can explain this best by sharing my story. I was failing classes my freshman year in high school. My teachers thought I wasn't very bright. My parents lectured me but left it up to me to learn my lesson with having to repeat classes. One day my Social Studies teacher told us we could do any project at the end of any…

Thanks for the great ideas. I'll check out these products and see if there is one that helps. I do shower after my swim because I go to the gym before work, so I shower and get ready for work there. I like the idea of a moisturizing body wash so I don't have to spend extra time with a second lotion. Because I usually don't…

Benadryl helps after wards, taking one before couldn't hurt. Just makes me sleepy at work.

I won't deny it. I want to be able to order clothing from Heavy Red once again. And that is, in many ways, a stronger motivation than controlling diabetes, lowering my blood pressure, and releaving the pressure on my joints and feet. I have certain fashion feeds on my Facebook page that helps my desire to lose weight by…

I like the Hummas with Pine Nuts in it. To make it more healthy, use it as a veggie dip. While it has fat, it is healthier than ranch dressing as a veggie dip.

Most research leans towards eating before a workout. If people are getting sick, then eat less. A little bit of protein. After working out, and this may sound odd, but most experts have been saying that the best after workout food is chocolate milk. It has the correct ration of protein, fat, and carbs. (2% choco milk, not…

OMG, yes! Most months I crave potato chips and nuts. Salty fatty foods. I very occassionally will crave sweets. Most rare is the chocolate/coffee/caffeine craving. If I have no cravings that month, I will get horrible back cramps and the normal TOM migraine will be significantly worse. Most months I get a 'functional…

Yes, I used to wear mostly slip on dress shoes and one day I put my walking shoes on and had trouble bending far enough to tie them. I couldn't believe it. I wanted to know when that happened since I liked to go on walks but couldn't remember at what point I went from easy to put on shoes to having trouble!

It has been one day less than a week since the last time I weighed myself. I've lost .8 of a lb. I'm guessing if I waited until tomorrow, it could have been 1 whole pound. But tuesday was such a weird day to weigh in. I really only did it last Tuesday because I was in a car accident and I felt like I lost some weight and I…

The ones I bought said to soak them in water. The puff up much like the way topioca (sp) puffs up in water. Only the don't get as squishy. They have more fiber to them. The bag recommended to add them to a glass of water, let them soak to puff up. Drink the glass. This would help make you feel more full so you ate less at…

Well, there are several. I wasn't worrying about my blood pressure and diabetes enough. I thought I could easily change those numbers with changes in diet. So I was making changes yet somehow gained more weight and the numbers went up. The cholestoral numbers dropped and that was good. But everything else got worse and…

Well, I was more successful when I last used this long term, when I was losing weight with my then boyfriend. My current roommate is also trying to loose weight, but he will always by treats and then try to get me to eat them. I have diabetes now unlike last time and I can't have nearly as much carbs as he is allowed to…

It means a large, but unspecific, number of times.

Thanks, and good luck to you too, Miclmiller.
