Fishing can be a great way for them to eat different foods. A good friend had a VERY picky eater but he would eat fish if he went fishing with his dad.

A group of us from work use to take lunchtime aerobics at a gym near our office. One woman who took the class but didn't really work very hard (me and my friends would be sweating and out of breath which was sort of the point, right?). She only came to class because her doctor told her if she didn't start working out and…

Say thank you and take them to work and put them in the break room.

Like most posters I could fill a bad novel with crap my mom has said to me (I have a sister with anorexia and I often hear laments that she won't eat anything and I eat everything" :angry: ) but the worst was a few years back things at work were really difficult, the economy was tanking and we had a new boss who was awful.…

I will add to the chorus suggesting a running store. I have a lot of feet issues and they have helped. Try on as many as you can. I just got a pair of Mizuno's and I love them. Several reviewers mentioned them being narrow in the heel and they do...which makes them great.

Just remember all other freshman feel the same. Read the links people will no doubt post here. Start slowly, you will notice who is nice...walk up and ask for help....start off the conversation with "you look like you know what you are doing..." Check if your school offers a class in weight lifting (maybe a one credit…

The whole make-up at the gym makes me think of High School...the swim team had score keepers who would crowd the girls loceker room during the diving break to re-apply make-up before going back out for the second half where thanks to the heat and humidity it would melt off. When I belonged to a gym I would spin at lunch…

I think you need to ask what you need and want in a primary care physican and if you can find it. Will another professional be able to help more? Yes this MD sounds like a tool but I don't know if you are going to find much better. I have been going to a lot of doctor appointments with a parent lately and am generally…

Your dog cleans out the litter box? Impressive.

The Bourbon, what about the Bourbon? You can bike the Bourbon Trail...Bourbon and cardio...what could be better?

WOW....You win:happy:

Dayton also has a wonderful art museum and was the home of the Wright Brothers.

Try TitleIX (website or catalog).

I will second or third Zumba, I have several Jennifer Galardi that are fun, I really like Julianne Hough Cardio Ballroom and the old Crunch Salsa is fun.

What about Edamame?

I work with not-for-profits and there is a very robust discussion to have around the actual net value of walk-a-thon's etc. Too much time is spent by organizations to make donors feel good about themselves. The ice bucket challenge has been a huge boon for awareness for ALS and a "friend-raiser" basically it has expanded…

This might be a good time to mention if I had it to do over again I would go to pastry school.

What about brownie? I saw that Nestle makes a caramel chocolate chip now...maybe just get a box brownie mix (Ghiradelli), add in the caramel chips and macadamia nuts?

While I consider store bought cookie dough to be an abomination.....I saw this on the MS show: http://www.marthastewart.com/856492/chocolate-chip-cookie-icebox-cake it could be a fun take on a cookie cake with your kids, it would seem to have a pretty good margin of error.

With teeth like that he can eat an apple thru a fence. She fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

Restaurant salads get me every time..yesterday I looked up the menu of the place I went for lunch….all of the salads were close to 1,000 calories (I know it’s the cheese and dressing, which I could usually do without). A hamburger with green beans was significantly less. I don’t mind having a bigger lunch and smaller…

Greater's - Peach ice cream - I was told by the guy that works with the ice creams at Fairway that this was really really good. Sad to say, my opinion was not the same. It was very creamy, almost gelato like and the peach based flavor didn't come through like I had expected. At the end of it, it had an after taste that I…

Bump...I am haing exactly the same issue.

If your diary is accurate you are not consistently getting enough fiber. You should also double check the amount of fiber in an apple. 6 per apple sounds high unless you are eating the core. Also try and eat it throughout the day. I have had stomach issues when I eat too much at once or yo-yo a lot day to day. Fiber one…

I actually added Mapmyfitness to my mix of stuff and I like all three for different reasons. I agree that MFP is better for food etc. It also consolidates data well. My FifBit doesn't sink with my phone so I need to use my laptop anyway.

In fairness every woman I know who got engaged gets asked by most people if she's going to go on a diet or how much weight she need to lose. There is enourmous external pressure. A work friend used WW to go from a 12ish to a 4/6 and close to 8 years later she still looks good (she may be a size smaller). She used the…

Just went to Graeter's to try the Key Lime Pie (I think it's available only in stores)...it's very tasty, they captured key lime. It took me forever to get...in line behind out of towners getting vanilla milkshakes. Given the dizzying array of options, including some killer sundae's why would you get vanilla?

Gaiam actually has a DVD called "Strong Knees" it's usually on sale on Amazon. Check with a PT first...they do wonders.

If you decide they are keepers...blanche them quickly in boiling water and ice water and the kin should come off...dice and freeze for later. Also cut them in half and grill on both sides...serve with ice cream or greek yogurt (and salted caramel sauce if you wants to get fancy).
