Raised on black coffee ... didn't see anyone put cream or milk in their coffee until I was twelve years old. My suggestion would be a touch of cinnamon. I have tried that with burned coffee with some success.

I had this on both feet at same time. I decided to get accupuncture instead of a cortizone shot. For me the accupuncture was the final step in relieving the pain. What helped me most was massage, physical therapy and ice ice ice. Freeze small dixie cups of water so they will be handy to use on your foot. Good shoes and…

As much as I love music, I try to catch a ball game on the radio when I'm out, on tv if at the gym.

Same. Usually done drinking coffee by noon, but will occassionally have one early in the evening. I do drink a gallon of water a day which I think prevents dehydration from the caffiene. I drink mine black, also. Favorite brand?

Doesn't activity level have a lot to do with the whole carb, low carb debate? I never would have thought I'd ever go near a low carb type diet. But I know my activity level is going to near zero for at least two weeks, probably a month. Need to burn fat. Need to lower my weight to help me get active again. Seems like I'm…

I'm in day 4 of trying to consume 75g carbs a day. Lost 5 pounds so far ... I know it's mostly water and that pace won't last.

I've had untreated depression for years. Very similar upbringing where things weren't dealt with. My current environment is filled with people who are not supportive of me in an effort to get professional help, but I am fighting through that resistance. And I will win that fight if I keep reminding myself they try to…

Be true to yourself. If you have a desire to even once get all made up like that, then do it. But, in my opinion, nothing is more attractive than a "this-is-who-I-am" genuine attitude.

I'm not sure if this is relevant to the discussion but wouldn't a person burn more fat excercising in cold weather because the body would need to work harder to maintain body heat? It feels like the opposite is true because you sweat more in the heat, but I think you burn more in the cold. Thinking about doing a polar…

That's great. Congratulations! You would look even better in a Patriot's Sweatshirt, though.

Happens to me, too. All I can think of is to stop and see yourself going to bed that night. Are you going to feel good overall and also good that you overcame the urge to binge, or are you going to feel lousy for binging. Maybe you need to project seeing how you would feel waking the next morning. Blood sugar, boredom,…

Hi, I'm trying to lose weight and develop habits from keeping it from coming back. I have consumed a gallon of water per day for a week now and I feel great ... have also lost weight. You'll be interested to note the formula is body weight in pounds divided by two equals the minimum number of ounces of water to drink.…

New and not aware of drama. I blog about other stuff on other sites so I know how dramatic these things can get. What you described as a support system, forum is what I am looking for. Adding friends, accepting friends, ... have no idea how that works.

Thanks so much! I logged on again to see if anyone read my post and was overwhelmed by the number of responses and the amount you all shared. So excited I decided to celebrate ... just got off the phone with Domino's ... Just a joke, folks. Just a joke. Thanks, again.
