I broke a toe some years back while pretending to fight with a toy lightsaber. I was 20 at the time.

You can lose weight quickly, and by doing that, you will probably gain it all back and then some. Honestly, the best way to do lose weight, if you want to keep it off is to do it slow and steady. Make lifestyle changes that you can permanently commit to. If you starve yourself or do a fad diet, you will only hurt yourself…

Portion control and a bit of movement. Even if you don't have a gym membership, you can go walking, get some handweights, or do an exercise video. When you use the word "diet" like that, you are assuming it is a temporary fix. You need to make a lifestyle change, as in something you can live with for the rest of your life.

When I lived in an apartment, we had a Gazelle. I still love to use it and plan on using it again after my baby is born. Resistance bands don't take up any room. You can do all sorts of exercises with them. Also, hand weights are good to have as well. Do you have a Wii or X Box? Some of my favorite workouts are using the…

When I was a kid, my mom and her friend would make comments about what I shouldn't eat. They were both bigger than me. When I look at pictures from my childhood, I realize that I wasn't really a big kid, but I was sure made to feel like one. When I was about 10, my stepdad got me a Get In Shape Girl set, not because he…

I did Zumba early on, and I also have done a lot of hiking and walking. I also use the exercise bike and do Just Dance for the Wii. I found a great prenatal Belly Dance video as well, which is great because I always feel so open after I am done. I am almost 32 weeks and still work out about 45 minutes a day

I like the full fat, large curd with applesauce.

I have wide Fred Flinstone feet, but that never stopped me from wearing designer shoes. Ferragamo makes beautiful shoes and in wide width for those who like designer shoes. The idea of lopping off a toe to wear a shoe makes me sad.

My husband works away for about 2-3 weeks to 1-2 months at a time, and I homeschool and work from home. Needless to say, I am not about to do anything that keeps me from getting 8 hours of sleep. That being said, I do things that get the kids involved. When it is nice, we take walks after dinner. We go hiking when we can.…

I gained about 5 or 6 lbs by 7 weeks and was so upset because there was no way I could gain weight with what I was eating. My midwife said it was bloat and to not worry. I was told to watch my sodium and drink lots of water

When I first started this back in March, I was very discouraged. Quite honestly, I did not see much of a difference in the scale for the first few months. However, my measurements in inches kept going down. I have been building a lot of muscle since I started. I have lost about 20 lbs since March. I took almost 6 weeks off…

I almost forgot one: bee pollen! I tried it and ended up being unable to sleep, my face went numb, and I had a ton of heart palpitations. I think I just prefer the eating less and exercise way of losing weight.

I have been doing this for about 2 months. I have been working out a lot and was sad that the scale wasn't moving. However, I have been measuring my inches, and they are going down. I am now starting to notice a difference on the scale. I also now have muscles which is nice!

How very true. I eat much better than my husband, and he is super skinny. In fact, he does less than I do for a workout and has lost 10 lbs that he can't really spare. Meanwhile, I eat less than my children and exercise a lot, and it is only coming off slowly.

Yeah, I did the laxative thing when I had an eating disorder. Sure, I lost weight, but I had stomach problems for years. Not to mention, the ED screwed me up so bad with my metabolism making losing weight naturally a lot harder than it should be. However, it is slowly coming off. I think I would rather be fat than do that…
