  • My advice is to see an endocrinologist and ask him about your thyroid levels. It isn't as if he'll tie you down and force you to take his advice, but it's entirely possible it could make a big difference.

  • I make this fairly frequently. It takes absolutely no effort and it's really pretty good. Chicken Tacos Boneless, skinless chicken tenders or breasts Chicken broth (I use reduced sodium) Taco seasoning packet (I use reduced sodium - you could certainly add your own spices) Fling it in the crockpot until the chicken is…

  • Some people are just rude. But they haven't decreased the weight standards. They were lower 30 years ago. Sizes were also smaller prior to around 1990. And they were even smaller than THAT prior to 1970. People really are bigger. But that doesn't give anyone carte blanche to be rude. It isn't as if larger people don't KNOW…

  • Oh my. I guess it's her wedding. It's also her choice whether she wants friends, or photo props. Good luck with whichever she chooses, oh, in say 20 years.

  • Get rid of the 'special treats'. Put the fruit out on the table and let him eat it when he's hungry.

  • Losing weight isn't a religious cult. It's a personal healthy choice. Leave them be. If they haven't figured out by now that eating all those candy bars isn't healthy, either they aren't ready to deal with it for whatever reason, or they're so unbelievably dense that they can't comprehend it. Either way, annoying them…

  • You're 21. Which isn't very old, but you don't need to push for a dietician, you need to do it. Do a web search, or check out who is covered by your insurance, or even make an appointment with your family doctor and ask for a referral. Your family might (or might not) mean well, but this is YOUR life. When they tell you…

  • You could always sneakily throw out the peanut butter. When she asks you WHERE IS THE PEANUT BUTTER??? Look completely blank and say "Peanut butter? Didn't I mention it? I quit eating it" Passive aggressive, but potentially satisfying. If you're really feeling vengeful, anyway. It would probably be easier to suck it up and…

  • The Progresso reduced sodium chicken noodle has 2 servings per can, but only 90 calories per serving. It still isn't exactly low sodium, 470 mg per serving, but it's better than typical canned soup. So if you eat the entire can, you only wind up with 180 calories, 960 mg sodium. My son likes soup, so I usually split a can…

  • Congratulations!! I have a long way to go, but it definitely confirms that it's doable by eating what I like, in moderation. I tried half a dozen new 'healthy' recipes the first week or two. Either my taste buds are just unique, or the people who made these up hadn't eaten anything that tastes good in a loooong time, but…
