Get thee "Just Tell Me What to Eat" by Dr. Timothy S. Harlan. He is a Chef turned medical doctor. It's not a fad diet, it's not about depriving yourself. It's about educating yourself and finding a way to lose weight in as healthy a way as possible. Calorie counting is not enough - you have to chose which calories benefit…

Consult a doctor. There are MANY good fitness/diet books out there by actual practicing Medical Doctors. The first that come to mind are "Just Tell Me What to Eat" and "Body for Life" (There is also BFL For Women) Neither of those mentions juicing that I recall. There is also a book by an OD (Osteopath) called "What Does…

Yes, THIS. My husband and I respect each other, talk to each other, and support each other. I used to be married to a drunk who liked to pick fights. I got over it and dumped him. You (original author and a ruined anniversary person) should too. It's much more fun to have a GOOD relationship than a frustrating one.

THIS.

THAT"S BS. Border Collies had aggression literally bred out of them over time. I've had three BC's. My first one had to put up with the two small children that were born after I adopted him and he was ALWAYS gentle and kind and more than tolerant. My daughter has a deaf bully breed that wouldn't harm a child or an adult,…

Exercise is beneficial, PERIOD. Sitting on your butt is NOT beneficial. End of story.

10 weeks. Alternating days of weights/core and treadmill or bike. The past two weeks I've been circuit training during weights day. Lots of fruits and veggies - I'm a vegetarian. Healthy proteins. BUT... all that work and only 4 pounds lost. Size 16 jeans still too tight. I've gained some endurance, I've gone from a 25…

Heh - it gets me in the top of the thighs ... where I feel the burn.

Potato chips.

Veggie and tempeh crustless quiche.

My daughter sent me this EVIL article, and it includes, I kid you not, BACKFLIP BURPEES. I think she's trying to off me for the inheritance. Enjoy! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151393440761294

You should always be free to discuss what kind of waffles you want when you want something new!

That seems about perfect!

That's my height, and I will be more than happy back in an 8. As an adult, even when I was skinny, I was never a 4. My mother was a size 4 when she died of cancer, and it was NOT a good look at 5'6" - it was a starved refugee look.

I grew up eating spaghetti with butter and salt. It's still my comfort food.

Sugar layered on white bread, then rolled up and smooshed so the bread has an entirely different texture. Not unlike Molly Ringwald's Cap't Crunch sandwiche in The Breakfast Club. Totally gross.

A friend who is married to a doctor says all liquid counts. Water is better, but tea counts even though it's a diuretic. You still get the benefit.
