This is totally normal, no need to worry! I find that my weight fluctuates between 5 - 8 lbs every day. The best reading is always in the morning, right after I wake up and go potty, naked. I don't weigh myself more than once a day because I know that combo of food, water and salt intake can all affect my weight throughout…

Chocolate, alcohol and chips.

I walk for exercise. I have a disability that makes any high impact or high intensity exercising to be too difficult and painful. I've found that walking is the only thing I can count on to not leave me in agony the next day. So, I walk. I walk everywhere. I burn on average 250kcal from walking every day without even…

Skin and hair both absorb water. If you know you've eaten well then that extra "gain" is most likely water weight. edit: just saw the date. Nevermind. What's with the zombie thread?

I would use Argan (aka Moroccan) oil after every time you wash your hair there. It should help restore the softness and shine and does not leave your hair feeling greasy. You can buy the rinse out kind (like a conditioner) or you can buy the kind that you brush in. Some more tips here:…

I do a lot of stretching with the foot to help with my PF. I only do a few stretches several times a day, but it seems to really be helping. I also a bought a good qualify pair of shoes with proper support so that when I'm outside, I will wear those. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/medical/IM02897

The replies to this thread are hilarious. It's obvious that most people didn't even bother to watch it and instead are replying directly to the title of the thread.

Assuming my kids were grown, yes, yes I would. You wouldn't even have to pay me, I'd volunteer!

My understanding is that curvy is used to describe women with an hour glass shape. It doesn't matter how big she is (what the exact measurements are) just that her measurements are in such a proportion that she is hour glass shaped. I have an hour glass. I have been called curvy at all weights. Even when I was a very…

Hey, feel free to add me if you want. I've been living with FM for 15 years now, was diagnosed twice by two different specialists. I have significant nerve damage in my legs and hands, which prevents me from doing a lot of activities. I've found that the absolute best exercises for chronic pain are low impact (absolutely…

Birth control failure, religion, love of children, etc. are all valid reasons why people have large families. I'm not surprised you don't really "get it" considering you don't have any children yourself and know just how much joy and happiness they can bring. Perhaps their parents are lonely or unhappy and want that…

It really depends on the person. I have lost over 20 lbs and have not dropped a size yet. It's very discouraging but I try not to get upset about it. I've been measuring and taking photos, and there is a definite difference but my clothes still fit the same.

A close friend of mine experienced something very similar. It turned out she had been ignoring her bodies cues for several months (had been pooping up to 20x a day, which is NOT normal.) By the time they discovered she had Crohn's Disease, she had lost most of her lower intestine. eta: Your friend needs to see a doctor to…

Leftover meatloaf :love:

I would probably eat it as long as I could afford to.

My husband is my best supporter! When we first got together I was at my heaviest (about 6 years after we first met in high school.) Since then I've lost about 30 lbs in total and he's loving the changes. He's always loved me for who I am and has always found me attractive. I was worried at first that he wouldn't like my…

Since making these lifestyle changes, the following has changed in my kitchen: The mortar and pestal is sitting on the counter, not in a cupboard (for grinding my home made spice blends.) There is a food scale, whereas previously I didn't even own one. The fruit bowl is HUGE and now on the dining table since it's too big…

I have the exact same problem! I have a large appetite a few days before it starts, and then it tapers down to almost nothing during my period.

That's amazing!! Fantastic! Incredible! :flowerforyou: Seriously great NSV! I know what it's like to live with an illness, to try and lose weight when you feel so restricted.. it isn't easy but you're doing it!!

I like both. I don't associate with anybody that dislikes sci fi :laugh:

I don't know what I want food wise, but I could easily drink a box (yes, a klassy BOX) of wine. It's just one of those days. Kids make mommies drink.

OMG. Why can't WoW just DIE already?! I keep trying to get into it again but I can't. I just can't. But if they bring in the Naga as a playable race, I might be happy. Maybe.

I'm torn on this. Part of me agrees with him completely, that it IS in fact child abuse. A parent's job isn't to mold their child into a little version of themselves, with all the prejudices and ignorance intact. A parent's job is to raise another, separate human being into an autonomous adult with their own thoughts and…

I've had to remove a few people for the same reason. It's not that I'm against having people with ED on my list, I'm NOT, but when they begin to support ED in others is where I draw the line. I do not want to see ANY pro-ana propaganda on my news feed. I watched my mother starve herself for years, I don't need to see a…

That's amazing!!! Good for you!!

Wine! I love wine.. :love:

Go see a therapist for your binge eating problem. It's a symptom of a deeper, underlying issue. Go talk to a professional if you want to get to the bottom of it.

I mix mine with another tea, like Early Grey or Chai. I hate the taste of green tea by itself. Yuck!! A drop of honey helps, too.

Well, feel free to add me. I must warn you though, I'm not always nice! I don't sugar coat things (as some of my "friends" have realized... lol, poor things :wink: ) My diary is open but it is by no means "perfect."

At my biggest, I still had an hourglass figure... it was just larger than before! I remember trying on my wedding gown at a size 18 and the sales clerk commenting on my measurements. Even though they were "big" they were in the perfect hourglass proportion. 30 pounds smaller and even though the numbers have changed, the…
