I also got a Cortisone shot in my foot and it helped me a great deal. I don't recall the shot hurting that much, but he numbed the shot site first. I took anti-inflammatory meds and did exercises. Also iced it frequently (frozen water bottle and rolled it in the arch of my foot while stepping on it). What probably helped…

I'm trying to eat less processed food. My goal is to not eat things with more than 5-6 ingredients in them. This is kind of a happy medium for me. I know I would never be able to get my family to 100% eat clean, but I'm taking steps to make their food healthier. It's all about doing what works for you and you have to read…

I can relate! I'm home all day and snacking was my biggest problem. I finally printed out a chart and planned my meals and snacks on a weekly basis. Eating at the same time each days helps my body know to hold off for a bit longer because food is coming. I also eliminated processed "healthy or low cal" snacks like those…

i did the 10 day advocare cleanse about 6 weeks ago. i lost 5 lbs and kept it off. i like this cleanse because you're not in the bathroom all day and you can eat on it. it focuses on eating clean proteins, limited complex carbs and lots of fruits and veggies. i was never hungry on it. i plan to do it again in a couple of…

Hubby and I just did a 10 day cleanse with Advocare. It is not a fast and you can eat. It is all about eating clean proteins, good complex carbs and lots of fresh fruits and veggies. Another thing I like about this cleanse is you are not in the bathroom all (actually, i was more regular...sorry tmi) and i was never hungry.…

i'm giving up a half inch on each thigh. :)

Here is my tip (from mom) for pounding chicken: Place chicken breasts in a gallon size zip lock bag or in a large piece of Glad Press n' Seal (seal edges only). Take a small/medium size sauce pan or frying pan and pound your heart out. The flat surface of the plan makes for a uniform pounded chicken breast. It is fast and…

i have the same problem and have to be careful where my shoes hit the top of my feet and tie them very loose.

try making out a meal plan before the weekend hits and stick to it.

same for me and i've even upped my fiber significantly. but seriously, best topic line EVAH! Fart bars.....crop dusting.....2sers in my pits. LMAO!

i don't use paper wrappers and just spray the pan.

oh yum! these are going to haunt me until i make them!

I agree with this 100%!

oh yeah, fiber one bars kill me.

I agree. They have great flavor and I don't need to add anything. This has completely kicked my coffee habit and flavored creamer addiction.

i was wondering what made steel cut oats different. thanks for the good suggestions.

i eyeball it but really need to invest in a food scale. i do log everything, though.

congratulations! how wonderful you are doing it together!

that is brilliant! i'm going to try that.

I'm 5'9 and medium frame. Before kids I was comfortable at 145 and it was easy to maintain. Now that I'm in my 40's 150-155 is a good healthy weight for me especially since I no longer run.

found it by looking through my computer history and bumped it up.

i did the same thing but none of them are what i'm looking for.

After reading the labels, we switched to pure butter over a year ago and use it in moderation.

I have my mini goals in my siggy but no formal reward system. My reward is being able to fit in the clothes I love already in my closet.

Cool, I might have to try that.

thanks for the you tube link. i found a lot of good info.

That's mine, too!
