  • 3 percent difference between wy and ga? I should clarify. I was in Jackson Hole Wyoming, and McDonough and Lovejoy Georgia.
  • In wyoming, we skied for three days. Just carrying the skis around, and you could feel the difference. Went snowmobiling, wich meant we got stuck in powder. Trying to dig out, I felt my heart and lungs really working out. Then, we went snowshoing. It's only 6500ish feet high at the valley floor, and we felt it....of course…
  • Omg. There are studies that people and animals lose more weight at altitude. There is an effect on the lepton production on the brain. I just found it. I mean the wyoming locals are twigs that I saw. I used to live and work in Atlanta. It has changed, and I mean bigger. The city, the waists, it was a shock. My host took me…
  • I have been using a progesterone cream, and am losing weight, slowly but steadily. Best of all, my rings are spinning around on my fingers
  • Go to the library and check out some books on diabetic eating. Free, and is good homework before you see nutritionist.
  • Fort Myers. I feel safe, but have to admit that safety is relative. We have had a bad economy for very long, being the first with the housing bursting in late 2006. A lot of bank robberies here. I do not like going to the bank. The sheriff is strict, and there are junior curfews. The helicopters are out a lot. Tonight, it…
  • I apologize as I haven't read all the replies. When I graduated with a BA in accounting, there was a major recession going on. None of the Big 8 were really hiring. I lived in a big city, and there were no opening positions. I joined a temp agency. My very first "temp" job, I was hired into a major company's accounting…
  • I second the Cliff bars. Excellent tasting and a complete meal. Take your swimsuit, running shoes and shorts. Alot of good hotels have a pool and a gym. The airport has fruit cups and odwallas. Grocery stores. I triple that one. Delis usually have pre-made salads too. Avoid the hotel "foods" there at the conference. The…
  • I don't understand the behavior. I'd think the person had some deep emotional issues, or at least did. I'd proceed with caution around the person until I knew better. But, to be honest. I'd llikely think the scars were from an accident. Perhaps the person ran into a barbed wire fence while biking. I think the best of…
  • I use Nuvaring. I am able to lose weight better with it then without it, and I gained from other forms for birth control. Nuvaring is easy to use and didn't cause me to feel either sick or hungry.
  • I choose apples as m snack, or a yogurt. I watch something really stupid at night. AFV makes me laugh and relieves stress. Twenty four hour news stations put me on edge and I eat bad foods. I go for a nice walk too.
  • Many belong to a religion/cult that has predicted the world was going to "soon end" for over the past 100 years. I don't belong to this religion/cult, and have a strange relationship with them due to my independent thinking. They rarely talk to me and aren't allowed to explore how/why I think different if we do talk. So, I…
  • 1. What's your height/ weight? 5'4", 148 pounds (goal 130-135) 2. Do you get REALLY REALLY hungry during the day? If not, was there an adjustment period? No. I am "looking" for my food, but not hungry, weak, or deprived feeling. I eat 1300 if I don't exercise and about 1600 if I do. 3. What do you eat to prevent feeling…
  • Le Petit (frozen breads) whole wheat mini baguettes. Fresh bread in the oven, and one roll is just over 100 calories and is bigger then your hand!
  • We have to take changes in little steps. If it is helping you stay on an otherwise heathy diet, then don't change it. If you want to change it, you can. My favorite is almond milk in my coffee. It adds a nutty flavor. Also, soy milk is good too. I don't add any sugar when I use these products as they also have sugar. I…
  • One of my friends will ell me that I didn't eat fruit for the day, and that seems to be a great, gentle reminder.
  • I don't smoke, but my best friend is a chain smoker. I wish she would quit. I worry that she will die, and I will lose a good friend. She's 51 years old. Her teeth are not just yellow, they are brown. Her skin is so bad, the wrinkles are crevaces. Now, she has cataracts and thinks it's just 'getting old.' She's all into…
  • 1, Eat up to a calorie deficit, for me it's 1300 calories base plus exercise calories. 2. Gym for 1 hour, dripping wet, at a minimum 5 days a week. Treadmill to 500 calories burned OR I go figure skating (my sport I love). 3. don't eat kid's leftovers. throw them out. 4 very rarely eat out, and plan ahead by looking at the…
  • My husband gave me a beautiful eternity diamond ring. It was gorgeous and cost a mint. I loved it, but we didn't have enough money for this present and it meant not going on a vacation. So, I had him switch it for "2 tickets to paradise" and we went to the Virgin Islands. I will always remember that trip much more then the…
  • The nicest thing someone said to me went like this: Go over how good your friend took care of the dog and how he/she has a knack with animals. Then say, I know that now is not the time for you to have a new pet. You need to grieve the loss of this one, and that's ok. But, I do hope that you get another dog one day and that…
  • My husband is giving my inlaws (his parents) a CoCo toilet seat. I called my mother-in-law to tell her that I "had nothing to do" with this year's present. I sent her some Christmas ornaments that I think she'll like, as the CoCo was a whopper on the budget. It has everything and does everything for you, including a dryer…
  • And, moving around calories does not count with me unless I sweat.
  • Doctor & thyroid checked?
  • I'm simple. 1 Cera Ve AM moisturizer with SPF 2. Cera Ve PM moisturizer 3. Mascara Loreal volumizer in the green bottle 4. Almay purple liquid eye liner 5. Almay eye makeup remover pads honorable mentions - Bert Bee's tinted lip balms & Loreal True Match powder makup with SPF SPF is big for me as I live in South Florida.
  • You have to get moving, now and after the baby is born. Pregnancy is a big risk factor for blood clots, as is a c-section and being around cigarette smoke. My sister-in-law almost died from 2 bloodclots after she had her baby. She was doing everything wrong. But, do not try to do any hard exercising (other then…
  • Supply issues were less with my firstborn. I had a ton. I ate a normal breakfast, bagged my lunch for work (except for Fridays), ate 2 snacks a day, and a normal dinner. I did notice that by the end of the workweek I was a little lower in supply, but by about 6 months she's eating some real food and your supply goes down a…
  • Welcome! It sounds like you about to learn something new - portion sizes and calories of the foods you eat. You have to learn what to eat (and not to eat) to get to 1200 -1300 calories a day. If you go and exercise, you get to "eat" your exercise calories, increasing your calories above 1200 - 1300 calories. Get a food…
  • If a TINY box of rasberries is $6.99 at the grocery store, how can it come in a pill form so cheap (i.e dehydrated meaning alot more then just a tiny box went into the bottle?). Rasberry ketone pills are usually not from a single rasberry. They are synthetically produced to be identical to what is in rasberries.…
