  • I use an app called paprika heavily for meal planning. You can search for recipes and create your own cookbook. Over time I have saved lots of recipes that fit into my meal plan. We often browse it to do the meal planning. She gets choices -- all of which are acceptable to my diet.
  • I have a ten year old and am a single mom. I have no time to make two meals EVER. The way our house works. I do involve my daughter in meal planning. I have a pad where we write down what we are eating for meals. I make whatever we have planned for that night. My daughter must try what I have made. If she doesn't like it…
  • When I lived in NYC I came home from clubbing one Saturday morning, turned on the lights and saw a mouse looking at me scared out of its mind.

  • I suggest a visit to jog fm for suggestions. You do your search based on your desired pace. I was looking for brisk walking/elliptical music so I searched for 15 minute miles. Then you can sample the songs and see what playlist you can put together.
  • Hi. I had a similar kick in the @ss moment when I calculated my BMI for a work wellness activity and found that I was one step away from being obese. As I had aged I had let those few pounds a year add up. I printed out the BMI chart and used that to set my incremental goals and measure my progress. I started in February…
  • I certainly can't add anything to the great responses below. However, I will be sending prayers your way. Good luck and I hope all goes well. No matter what happens just keep taking deep breaths, ask lots of questions and take one step at a time. That is the way I got through my breast cancer journey and I think it would…
  • Hi I came back after spending 6 months dieting. 45 yo single mom of one. Feel free to friend me.
