Male coworker sees this subject line. States "I have a big booty supplement for you!" Thank you for the laughter. Much needed.

I buy the Green Giant frozen veggie packs with sauce and mix in whole grain pasta. That is great but a little high on the sodium.

Sleep apnea sucks plain and simple. I have moderate OSA. I need a CPAP but since I changed jobs my insurance won't cover it for a year. :( I don't know if CPAP will even work for me. Most medical supplies places will give you a free trail if you have you Rx. You can look for a dentist that does the oral mouth pieces. I…

I love the whole grain bagel thins with 2% cheese and sliced turkey. Or low fat cream cheese. Yogurt with chia seeds and fruit, oatmeal with blueberries and truvia, breakfast burritos with egg whites, whole grain tortilla, 2% cheese and turkey sausage or chopped ham.

We eat a lot of 2% string cheese in my home, but I love a full fat, full flavor smoked cheddar sometimes.

Yes. But anyone with blood conditions or kidney problems shouldn't do it. It is a key tactic by wrestlers and MMA fighters to cut weight. I have done a lot of research on it because my son uses it for football. I even talked to a few doctors and a pharmacist I know about it to make sure it is safe. The magnesium helps to…

This is going to depend on the product. Reduced fat cheese is much better for you for example. I have bought reduced fat PB and it was just a waste. But the whipped has less fat and calories and is just missed differently. Do your research if there are specific low or reduced fat products you like. My goal is to start…

Are you looking for a temporary fix to water weight? If so do an Epsom salt bath for 20-40 minutes right before bed.

http://thrivinghomeblog.com/healthy-recipes-index/healthy-freezer-meals-recipes/ I have been looking for a good resource too. I wish these have a calorie count. Skinnymom.com and skinnytaste.com have some recipes too.

Are you getting enough protein during the day?

MIO black cherry energy. Missed that.

2 bananas 1 cup of ramen noddles (I know. I know. wow the sodium. I'm a single mom. I do what it takes to keep cost down some days so my kids can eat healthier lunches than me. I feel zero guilt over it.) A can of pears in juice box of Young Living Slique tea a bottle of honey pack of sugar free lemon jello a bottle of…

I agree 1st thing is to get fitted. There is a place near me that has a thing you step on and it reads your feet. Then gives you a print out of which shoes are best for you. Honestly those places have higher priced shoes usually unless they happen to have a pair on clearance. That that list and do some research online to…

[/quote] Your regular doctor can give you viamin B shots if you are actually low. Have you had any blood work done? Checked for anemia? Not much you can do about the sleep apnea except to lose the weight. Do you have a CPAP? [/quote] I don't have the CPAP yet. I'm in a preexisting phase. I had my sleep study done in…

Basically it seems that way. I do know someone who had great success there. But at a high financial cost. I was thinking why the expensive shots? You can get a bottle of B vitamins for $8.

I know! :) I'm not looking for a quick fix. What caught my attention was the vitamins. I have sleep apnea and am always drained.

This practice does do a detailed intake of new patients and doesn't do highly restricted diets like some of those pushing 1000 calorie diets. But they have so many extra supplements it is like GNC almost.

Oh just found this in an email from this office "These injections have Hydroxocobalamin(long acting B12) as well as Cyanocobolamin(reg B12). (These new injections can be taken up to 3 times a week!)" Of course these shots cost anywhere from $12-$18 depending on the "specials" so I would never take them that often.

Roll Tide! That is all I have to contribute. :)

Wow! 1st time I have ever heard this from a coach! 4 yrs ago my kids played in a weight restricted league. I saw horrible things from coaches and parents that were down right dangerous. Think trash bags on an 11 yr old sitting in a car with the heater on full blast on a hot Alabama summer day. I would never, ever allow my…

That is the key factor I have been trying to teach him. As active as he is and what activity he has added recently like PE at school, full pads practice, and being at the YMCA playing basketball before and after school isn't a pass to eat more than he needs.

No other way would be allowed. :) My take is exactly this. If a child wants to lose weight for whatever reason why not show them the proper way to do it? Healthier eating and more exercise. Input from professionals taken to make sure it is safe before hand and follow their advice. I think it teaches that we take care of…

What this group does is requires the older of the age group to weigh though. So only the 9 yr olds have to weigh in. The 8 yr olds don't. And trust me coaches us this to their advantage big time. They'll put a giant 8 yr old across from a small 9 yr old in a minute. So it isn't like domination is the factor. This is the…

[/quote] BMI is notoriously bad under almost every condition, especially in muscular people. I'm not sure the accuracy on children but I don't know many muscular children. By "beast" I assume you mean that he is just "big boned." An overused excuse, though if, hypothetically, you wanted to get him tested for BF%. Remember,…

Note this child isn't pushed by crazy parents trying to live out broken breaks. This is 100% him. His options. His desire to put in the work to get what he wants.

This is crap. Not you, the info. A healthy BMI is 18.5–24.9 for adults. So why is this obese for a child who just happens to be genetically beast? A child of this height is in the 99th percentile based on CDC measurements. Being that he is taller than 99% of kids of course he would weigh more. Cookie cutter numbers suck…

You may consider looking into Overeaters Anonymous or Food Addicts Anonymous. Or if you are of the Christian faith check out the book Made To Crave. I have had this problem too for a long time. You aren't alone. One thing I am working on is to realize often times when I think I am hungry or just have a craving for…

Of course this is all theoretical.
