I really need encouragement to fight my cravings for pizza. I've been eating really healthy (using My Fit Foods to prepare low sodium but tastey food) and losing weight. Every couple of days I sabotage myself by ordering pizza and I gain a few pounds back. I'm doing my best, but family members eat pizza right in front of…

It doesn't matter what you're smoking. Smoking in general is bad for your health. It really destroys your lungs. Google pictures of the lungs of smokers vs non-smokers. It's pretty scary.

If I'm feeling lazy (where I don't want to cook or mess with anything), I always keep some Paleo muffins on hand. You can have two of them for about 564-650 calories (depending on which type you make). Check out http://www.paleoplan.com/recipes/. The muffins are under the breakfast section, but you can squeeze them in at…

Thanks so much for the recipes! I'll be trying them out at a pot luck this Sunday afternoon!

I agree. Looking forward to shopping at normal stores because Lane Bryant charges so much for clothes. There we go...saving money on clothes. Going zip lining, being comfortable on plane rides, having energy for long hikes while traveling.

I've only been eating Paleo for a week and a half and I've lost 5 pounds. I'm really excited with the quick results. Can't wait to see what the long term benefits are. :smile:

Try spaghetti squash to sub for noodles. I cook with almond flour all the time. You might want to check out: http://www.paleoplan.com/recipes/ for some free recipe ideas.

I make kale smoothies all the time. You put about a cup of raw kale, 1 cup of water, a piece of fruit (banana, mango, peach, etc) for sweetness, and either some nutmeg or ginger. Grind it up and drink it. You can also substitute carrots for the fruit, but I personally like the sweeter flavor.

You tighten your abs while you walk. Think about sucking in your stomach and squeezing all your abs together. You hold that for long enough and you will start to feel it.

I am on the generic synthroid and have experienced side effects. It actually can make depression or bipolar disorder worse. Even switching from generic to name brand was enough to send me in a downward spiral. I may be the exception to the rule. I am extremely sensitive to any medication changes. The doctors told me it…

I mixed ground turkey, shaved zucchini, and shaved carrots then made turkey patties. I grilled them on the George Foreman grill to get the extra grease out. I serve it on 40 calorie bread or by itself as an entree. You can get some great veggies and stretch your meat further.

When I had back surgery, I asked my mom and dad to take care of my pit bull during my month of recovery. They were both terrified at the thought of a pit in their house, but agreed to take her. Now, they both love her to death. She gives my mom "kisses" in the face every time she sees her. We still get the scared looks on…
