I call that "chub rub". Body Glide works great! $5 at a sporting goods store. And make sure you're wearing shorts NOT made of cotton - that will rub you raw for sure.

I keep my diary open to the public. I feel that it helps keep me accountable. And I log every bite/sip of anything that goes into my mouth - good, bad, and ugly! My thoughts on an open diary - maybe my diary can inspire others to make better food choices, maybe someone has ideas where I can improve, etc.. and if I'm…

My friend (just turned 30, mom of 2) had great success using the Bikini Body Mommy blueprint. Here's a link:http://www.bikinibodymommy.com/ Her name is Ashley and she was so inspired by her weight loss/transformation that she started a blog called Whole Foods, New Body. Look it up on Google, she has great recipes and…

I agree 100%! Don't ask for healthy eating suggestions if you're just going to ignore them and stuff down the LIttle Debbies.

That's co-depence for ya.

Yes, absolutely!

This is a 12 week program, but I just learned about this and am starting on Monday! You can 'google' modifications for most of the exercises if you don't have access to gym equipment. Best wishes! http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jamie-eason-livefit-trainer.html

A square or two of dark chocolate.

Good luck and best wishes on your surgery. I hope this is a starting point for a healthier life for you. Having worked as a nurse in Endoscopy for a few years, I saw bariatric patients pre-surgery for their required upper endoscopy exams. I also saw way too many of those same patients again after surgery (within 12-24…

I LOVE BBL! I have been doing the BBL series for 3 weeks and have dropped 2 sizes, have hamstrings for the first time in my life and have lost 3 inches off my hips and thighs. I also run occasionally and use an elliptical. It is amazing! Will be using these exercises forever! My husband loves the changes! Wish I had taken…

I did a 3 day juice fast with my husband - more as moral support than anything. It was hard, as I really like to chew my food!, and just like the movie tells you, when all the crap you've been storing in your fat cells starts floating around in your bloodstream, you feel like total hell. And I'm a serious coffee snob. 3…

Overnight oatmeal made with kefir and almond butter
-
Yes, I feel that way, too!

Same here. I send requests to people that seem to either have similar goals, age, sense of humor or lifestyle. And I like to check in with my MFP friends everyday, so my list is small or I'd never be able to do that.

What gets measured, gets managed. Log everything!

Ask your pediatrician. There iS such a thing as being too young to lift weights, due to growth plates in the bones that have yet to fuse. Heavy lifting while the growth plates are soft can cause permanent stunting and deformity. My kids were 12 before they got clearance (by the MD and the gym personnel) to use the weights…

Read about making your own kefir. Yes it is super easy! Add the grains to fresh milk, cover with a cloth and let it sit for 24 hours at room temp in a cool place with no direct sunlight. voila! Kefir. Then you strain it through a mesh sieve to retain your grains and start all over. It's best to get kefir grains locally, in…

Stick to your plan and don't get…

An effective natural diuretic is parsley. Put some on your salad, steep it in hot water as a tea or just eat some plain.

Probiotics could help with your bloating. The best way to get them is by eating a fermented dairy product like yogurt or kefir, though I have heard that the supplements are beneficial, too. Kefir is known to be a probiotics powerhouse! The best is made from fresh, raw milk. If you don't have the luxury of that - which I…

Diced or sliced with salt & pepper. Sometimes I'll mix in some chopped tomato.

My family is a huge fan of homemade protein bars for camping trip breakfasts and/or snacks. Here's a link to the recipe: http://www.healthygreenkitchen.com/homemade-protein-bars.html They keep well at room temp for many, many days!

Both, but more boob deflation than butt, unfortunately. Working out with Brazil Butt LIft to gain back some booty shape. So far, so good.

Plain, filtered, room temp or cold - no ice.

There are a lot of juicing haters on MFP, watch out for trolls. I have a juicer and I love homemade kale, beet, ginger (etc...) juice. It's nice to use as a meal replacement once a day or a snack. Good luck with your journey!
-
I can't wait to try! Wonder if you could do the same with Calmyrna dried figs? Only one way to find out! thanks for the post.

Amazeballs! No, really - homemade protein balls...that are truly amazing. Here's a link with nutrition facts included :http://fitnessista.com/2011/01/ballz-for-all Cut up some fresh veggies and an apple and put it in plastic container with a protein ball. Don't forget your water. There's your lunch - or snack(s). I'm also…

I'd love to join! I don't have a lot of weight to lose, but I am looking to re-shape the sagging parts. I'll be 45 in a few days and I work out 6 days a week. Count me in!
