I have the same issue. I take a handful (literally) of meds/vitamins each day and I have discovered that if I eat an apple about 20 minutes after I take them, I donʻt become nauseas. But Iʻm still trying to find a fish oil that doesn't make me burp.

I'm cuspy-Taurus/Aries. So I get to eat anything I d@mn well please. With fire.

At 11, kids are still having growth spurts as in they grow up and they grow out, but not necessarily at the same time. You also don't say how tall she is, or if she's putting on weight that would be normal for things like breast development, which, at 11, is about the right time. You're already modeling good choices with…

Protein. Increase it. And remember that your body may not be genetically disposed to getting "big and cut".

I was just thinking about this the other day! My family and I went out for dinner to Red Robin, and it was, well, interesting I guess, to see how differently I ate in the midst of all the commotion and sensory input at the restaurant versus how I eat at home. I ate more and faster at that meal than I have in a long time!…

Check the gym floor. I tend to leave drops of awesome every time I have a good workout. Also, check the pants you were wearing the last time you had the awesome. I have a pair of jeans that steal my Nice *kitten* every time. Weird how I always find those jeans next to the sweater that steals my Great Boobs. It's like a…

What I really hate is the fact (yes fact) that eating simple carbohydrates like sugar or white flour-based stuffs does, in fact, make a person feel better. For roughly 32 seconds. That burst of serotonin is an instant mood lifter. For roughly 32 seconds. And then I'm left with an empty box, cupcake remorse, and a new an…

Number 17 is totally me. I get near cake in any form and it's like "Quick! Eat all the cake as fast as you can before the cake famine begins!" I mean, really.

As long as you're drinking enough water to "pee clear" (or light straw color) you're good. I drink up to a pot of coffee daily and don't have any trouble.

I discovered that if I wear my regular bra (underwire, full coverage) and then double up with a nursing cami over that, well, let's just say I can do jumping jacks without giving myself a black eye.

I just love that you look so happy! Congratulations on all your hard work.

We had Mahi-Mahi last night, but I use this basic recipe for a lot of proteins-it's the only way my son will eat it! 1TBSP butter, 1T evoo in the pan Rub 4 fillets with 1/2t evoo, garlic powder, onion powder, salt & pepper to taste, an copious amounts of dill. Sear the fish on both sides, turn down the heat and cook…

For those of you who think it doesn't exist and that it's all about willpower (you know who you are)... From an actual researcher who has worked on the issue. Myriad thank-you's for adding to the conversation!!!

ETA: There's nothing wrong with you. Not a *&^%&$* thing. Unless you are staring at that one dimple above your @ss and blaming it for every bad thing that's ever happened to you (hyperbole, but you get the gist). This quiz is crap for diagnosing BDD. It might be used as a screening tool, but it's crap for diagnostics. Pure…

Seriously?!!?!? I nearly spit my coffee onto my keyboard when it told me I had BDD. No, I don't, and I can say with confidence that at least 90% of the people who take this quiz and come up with a 40+ score don't have BDD either. It's food for thought an all, I mean the questions aren't ridiculous, but I love my body and…

In the face of food designers who make money by specifically designing foods that have the right combination to bring your brain's reward center right to the bliss point, thus creating a cue-crave-reward cycle IDENTICAL to the brain's response to illicit drugs, you have the balls to say it's not the food, it's you? I'll…

It takes me about two weeks to really start feeling good, eliminating just wheat. I have discovered, however, that my body seems to react to an overload of any type of starch-my sleep is disturbed, my complexion goes a little haywire and I get pms weepy. So weird! On the other hand, it's a great incentive to not eat any of…

I understand your line of thought about being supportive versus supporting denial. But I still disagree with your assertion that food addiction does not exist and that people who claim to be food addicts are simply weak, looking for an excuse for their lack of willpower. Although, I can imagine that's what it looks like to…

Please notice the bold portion. And like I tell my children, don't ask questions if you know they are ridiculous. It's not as funny as you think.

You get that that's what addicts do to change as well, right?

I'm curious as to why you don't think it can be classified as a true addiction. Not trying to be argumentative, just curious.

THAT is what you got from this post? You know how some people are more susceptible to say, drug addiction? Or nicotine? It's all about the pleasure center of the brain and the opiod response that SOME people experience stronger than others. It's different than craving or loving a particular food and has ZERO to do with…

And this works because... And what happens if I'm thirsty between 12noon and 6pm? I would be an angry, angry person if I couldn't drink anything for 6 hours.

You said you log "pretty much everything"; what are you leaving out? I remember ww having a lot of no-point fruit and veg, but you really do need to make sure you log EVERYTHING. You might be very surprised at how many calories you're actually consuming. Just in general, I would definitely up the kcal to 1600 or so,…

I'm good for shoes. I started perusing some of the c2k5 posts before I started and noticed that EVERYONE mentioned shoes. I went to an actual running store and was taken care of quite well. I really love my shoes! And thanks for the tip on terminology-I think I have zombies on the brain after Sunday night t.v.:smile:

Deciding whether or not to eat back exercise calories is definitely a personal preference; there are people who will tell you you have to eat them back to lose and there are people who will tell you it's best to just leave the deficit. For me personally, I don't try to eat back exercise calories, but if I go over my usual…

Thank you so much for the input. I'm so glad my zombie-paced running is a good thing! And thank you for the stretching tip. I suppose I can do that 5-minute warm-up walk however many times I need to until I'm good and ready to start the running part. Thanks again!

I feel so lucky that I only have one picky eater in my house. And as soon as I started including pan sauce with the meal's meat, he stopped complaining! A little lemon, some water or stock, finish with a little butter, et viola! I can even get him to eat brussel sprouts if I use fresh garlic and good olive oil to cook them.

If I'm not drinking good coffee (Sumatra is my go-to bean) I use 1T of actual heavy cream in my first cup and then keep warming it up with more black coffee as the day progresses. I still get the taste of the creaminess in that first half cup and it's not straight black until about the 4th cup. Plus, with heavy cream…

Mine aren't any perkier, but I've done enough push-ups that I can move them independently if I want! My husband loves it. My trainer thinks it's hilarious.
