I used scallions in my last go at Mac n' cheese and it was life changing!

He may be frustrated with himself for not doing something he knows he needs to do/wants to do and is projecting that on you. I sometimes do this to my husband when I'm frustrated with myself :/

I suggest dresses. I'm down about 35 pounds so most of my pants are super baggy now, but most of my dresses (while still bigger than I really need) still look fine.

Taco Bell is awesome! You can get a steak power bowl (quite a bit of food) for less than 500 calories or a Mexi-Melt for something like 250. I also like Chick-fil-A (sub fries for fruit and avoid Chick-fil-A sauce, 150 calories for a little cup of sauce :'( ).

Kroger had this sale the other month, we spent $60 stocking up, got every flavor they had. Still have tons of it in the deep freeze, no regrets!

My husband is adrenal deficient, he had surgery last June to remove a cyst from his pituitary gland. He takes hydrocortisone, synthroid, and testosterone. He's lost over 30 pounds in the last couple of months. He hasn't done anything different than I have other than he eats a lot of frozen meals like Smart Ones and Healthy…

Thanks everyone! We'll definitely have to try these!!

It should. I feel like the same thing happens when I get a foo foo drink from Starbucks or Caribou.

Do you drink coffee? I found that when I incorporated a cup of coffee into my morning routine I went pretty soon there afterwards and felt pretty good and light the rest of the day. That and caffeine are the sole reasons I drink coffee since I'm not super fond of the taste.

You should consider taking a fish or krill oil supplement. I take one along with a cholesterol medicine (I have elevated cholesterol and a bad family history of heart disease so the doctor put me on medicine early to get it down sooner).

I know you don't want to take medicine, but a fish or krill oil supplement is recommended to help with cholesterol.

I like to put 2 ounces of a Premier Protein (vanilla flavor) into my coffee. It's not actually coffee creamer but it has the same taste in the coffee and I get some protein from it too! I started doing this because I don't drink enough coffee to use an entire bottle of creamer and this way I can just drink the rest of the…

I definitely agree with making calorie counting and accurate food logging a priority. I too work long hours and am studying for the CPA exam so time to work out is non-existent so I focus on the food choices and logging. Here are some ideas for adding a little more movement to your day: -Drink more water. Not only is this…

Hi there! I'm also trying to lower my bp. The other things you can do are reduce sodium and exercise (this can be as simple as just taking a walk in the evenings). I'm not sure if this helps, but I've also heard of people increasing their garlic intake. Essentially weight, sodium, and stress contribute to high blood…

I use to work at a hotel, and we gave these amenity baskets to event planners and such. However, some of the amenities were bottled water and fruit. Maybe when you are arranging these meeting with the conference service person, request if they give you an amenity basket for booking the event, it be fruit and water.

My Dad has it. Avoid red meat and alcohol, it makes it worse. Cherries are good and so is pineapple I believe. They have this black cherry supplement thing at GNC which is suppose to really help.

Are you saying that she should aim to weigh 107lbs?

Bump!

I've been taking a spin class for about a month now. You should get a bicycle seat cover (they're about $10 at WalMart). This may sound weird, but if I were you I would wear a pad (like you would wear during your period) to the first class or two because the seat does not just hurt your butt. :D But this won't really work…

If you have long/thick hair you could hide a flask or small liquor bottle in some kind of updo. :happy:

It's probably nothing, but if it comes with pain in your left arm, seek medical attention immediately.

In high school, my best friend and I would go to the food court and get dinner in one of those to-go boxes. Then we would cover it with our jacket and sneak it into the movie theatre at the mall. We would eat bourbon chicken or chinese food all while watching a movie. Good times!

Bump!

Sounds yummy! I wonder if they freeze well..........

My Mom works in a school cafeteria, and yes, it is government regulated if the school gets money from the government. Each child's plate has to meet certain criteria to be what is called a "reimbursable meal" meaning the federal government gives them so much money for each tray they sell. They get more money for children…

I really like reading the forums on here, but it is really disheartening when so many people are negative and just plain rude. If you don't agree with the post, politely say so or don't respond at all. I liked this post because I have bigger thighs and calves and I've been worried about making them bigger or keeping them…
