That old tradition of bringing grieving loved one lots and lots of comfort food is well meant, but should be banned! Anyways, I'm sorry you are going through an emotional down time. As the others have said, there are tons of us out there that do the exact same thing. Temporary depression is a horrible thing. The first…

Trans fat are the really bad ones that should be avoided. With an immersion blender and patience you can turn really cold milk into a whipped treat. Some people say you can do it with skim milk, but I have never tried.

I seriously considered trying the P90X routines and then decided against it. They are an intense workout that would have been just to much for me in my current shape. I decided instead to start with the less intense Power 90. I've been at it for a week and am loving it! I've had some light pain, but nothing that has kept…

http://www.ehow.com/how_4997028_lose-weight-beverly-hills-diet.html Take a look at step 3. Sounds about right. She shouldn't be getting dehydrated from this, unless she is just not drinking enough. This one does not look healthy in the slightest to me. If Mom is giving you the run around, go to your Dad. If he doesn't want…

Italian Style Bread Crumbs, enough to lightly cover a dinner plate 1- egg well beaten 1 tbs- garlic powder 1 tbs- dried sweet basil 2- thin slices fresh mozarrella cheese, or shredded cheese Marinara Sauce or other favorite pasta sauce 1 chicken breast per…

Our chocolate lab is the exact same way. Hubby and I had her out once and she just decided that it was enough. Hubby had to go back to the house and get the car to come get her!!

I wouldn't change your goal weight yet. Get yourself to the goal weight, then work on maintaining that weight. The extra "flab" may be from lack of toning in specific muscle groups. Does your strength training encompass every area that you have an issue with or are you missing some? The trick to loosing flab isn't to loose…

I have to say your wife makes a point, you got those scars serving your country. People should see them and thank you! That said, I more than understand uncomfortable scars, marks, etc and wanting to conceal them. Do a quick google search for men's lycra swim tops. There are several companies that make t-shirt style swim…

I actually have only been doing a lot of walking thus far. I need to add in strength training, but wanted some endurance before I did. My chest measurement hasn't changed one bit. I was a 38C, now I'm measuring at 38D. Proportionally, I am actually rather happy with my size. Though I think at 60lbs lighter they may be a…

It sounds like you are just noticing a slow down in the scale. This happens. With the exercise you are doing your gaining muscle mass, so you may be loosing inches without loosing weight. You'll see this happen several times before you loose all the weight you want to. Remember, its not all about the scale. Are your…

Some strength training is good for everyone. You don't have to train to get ripped, but just some general toning is healthier for your bones. Especially toning your core. As it is described by many, your core muscles are a natural girdle. Toning and strengthening them will help get rid of those little fat poaches you are…

My opinion, for what it's worth, is that one day at 60 calories under is not going to seriously hurt our overall weight loss. It is when you are routinely under that you are going to have a problem. I look for a weekly average in my calories, with only a slight variation from day to day. If one day is 100 over, the next…

Double Fudge Chocolate Brownie Sundaes... The ones where the brownie has fudge and dark chocolate chips baked in and are still warm. Smothered with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge again! Yup, that would be it..

The sodium is the main reason that lunch meats are considered bad. But, most lunch meats also include a ton of chemical binders, preservative, and even coloring (especially true in ham). A lot of people try to avoid these things. Options: Grill 3-4 chicken breasts on Sunday. Cut into thin strips and use it throughout the…

Penne or Bowtie Pasta Garlic Olive Oil (or your favorite seasoned oil, extra virgin base is best, but they all work) Feta Cheese Grated Parmesan Cheese Cooked Chicken Breast (can be home cooked, grilled or the pre-cooked strips) Baby Spinach Red pepper flakes (optional) Portions of the above can be varied for your taste…

Most of what I've read suggests to stop eating 2 hours before bedtime. This allows your system to process the food normally, as opposed to the slower processes we have at night. No idea if that is the "true" science behind it or not. I've seen plenty of guidance that also says, it is ok to eat light snacks at any point as…

As others have said, almost any makeup counter in a better department store will be able to get you started. You can also get the service at most spas. Your other option is to call your local AVON, or Mary Kay rep. These gals will walk you through everything you need to know about applying and removing makeup. Caring for…

Like everyone else has said, its all about planning. Beside having the right food/drink with you for after the gym, maybe it is time for another small change in habit. No drive-thrus. Tell yourself that if you are going to stop by a fast food restaurant you have to park the car and walk up the counter. This really helps me…

MFP will give you a general number for your maintenance if you change your profile. But chances are that is going to add in a large number which could trigger some binge eating and revert you back into your old habits. Definitely the cycle I've been in before. My plan (in god knows how many months), is to slowly increase…

Wii fit plus is better than the regular wii fit. The plus allows you create a routine series of the yoga and weight lift stuff. It also has some prebuilts that include various cardio and balance exercises. Makes it a bit easier to use.

There has to be a sister that is in charge of these house matters (always was in my house). Talk to them about bringing it up at your next formal business meeting. Diversifying the menu to include a vegetarian option or meals that can easily be turned into a veggie option shouldn't be to hard. Chances are your chef will be…

My regular breakfast eaten at my desk every morning is a Fiber 1 bar and yogurt. Keeps me going till lunch most days.

My husband is not a big fan of poultry of any sort. Some of the other options. Pork Tenderloin - 3oz around 122 calories Cut it into medallions and have tenderloin pork chops; marinated and on the grill is wonderful. I try to buy large ones, then butcher them down into 1, 2 and 3 serving size pieces and freeze what I'm not…

Congrats on the 22lbs, don't let anything take away from that success. Bra and bathing suit shopping are the devil for most people, as you are forced to actually look in the mirror with that little on. There a couple of helpful tricks though. The first, get your measurements and actually know your new size before you pick…

I would love to hear the answers to this one too. Mine drinks 2 cases a week along with his "super sweet" iced tea. The only time I see him drink water is a small swallow when I hand it to him with his daily vitamin.

Gum Drops Nerds M&Ms Starbursts Those are my worse foods for just continually eating. Though dried cantaloupe is starting to take the place of the Gum Drops.

I'm in the daily crews too and like most I have an official weigh-in day. The day to day changes give me an idea on how my system is generally doing. I make an official record once a week (sat morning) whether it is up or down.

Don't give up on this. Sounds like you are having the evening munchies. My suggestion, plan your food for the day the night before. Make yourself some healthy snacks, portion them out and only grab one of them when you are hungry. You can get back on track, you just have to set your mind to it that food is not going to…
