I cannot stand oatmeal I gag every time I have ever tried to eat it. I also cannot stand grits, meatloaf, stuffed peppers, meatball sandwiches, sloppy joes I could go on but anything that could possibly make anything soggy especially french onion soup or that resembles dog food or vomit. I have always been this way since I…

My furbaby is the best and he does get me off the couch and moving. His birthday is next week and he will be 5 he is a brindle boxer and his name is Guinness. I call him my middle child. Just this morning when my alarm went off this 78lb dog who managed to squeeze on the side of my bed by my head to sleep started licking…

2105.... that was just yesterday. Amazingly stayed under on Christmas eve so I am not going to worry about yesterday. I am also not going to get on a scale till Monday either.

go to a gynecologist. I have problems like this whenever I go on antibiotics and I mention it everytime I am prescribed antibiotics. I always am given a pill (can't remember the name) a one time dose and its done. The creams are a pain, messy and take forever and even then they do not always work. I was always told to eat…

I spend around 480 per month for 4 people. That doesn't include paper products, toiletries, diapers, wipes, pet food, or cleaning supplies that is just food and meat. One of the people is a 2 year old so she doesn't eat too much. That food includes breakfast, lunch and dinner for us all I pack for work so does my husband…

I know the feeling I still have quite a bit to lose too. Its hard because I never want to be in pictures because of how I look. The pictures are always of my husband and kids but never me. Hey its baby steps right? One step at a time and eventually we all will get there.

I am hoping for fitness related items like clothing, fitbit, dvds, cookbooks. I am sure I won't get any because my husband doesn't want me to think that he thinks I need to lose weight even though I specifically asked for these things. I know very juvenial but its his thinking. I need those more than I need another bottle…

I quit over 4 years now and honestly the cravings never go away. I quit cold turkey because I felt awful all the time and smoking wasn't helping. I still crave one but I have to just find something else to do. I never gained weight from quitting I gained weight while smoking. It gets better but for me it never went away…

I have never done weight watchers but my doctor suggested it to me. She said its the only thing that will help me because its a support group. I tried telling her about MFP and she told me it wasn't the same...... Sounds like from here that it is. I have quite a bit of weight to lose and along with that 2 kids, a full time…

I gave up meat two years ago for lent to see if it would help. It didn't. All it did was stress me out trying to come up with meals and I missed the protein from meat. I cannot drink protein shakes so it was a problem for me. I found myself ingesting a lot of beans (my family hated me). It just wasn't for me. My problem…

I just ordered leslie sansone videos for home. I usually have to take my kids with me when I walk and do not feel safe walking after dark with them in the cold and in snow ( I live in the country and bears are not uncommon) I have heard great things about these videos and a friend of mine lost 42lbs using them. I just got…

seltzer water!!! I love it gives my that carbonation I love. Most are calorie, sodium and sugar free and use no sugar substitute you just have to read the label. My favorite is regular and lemon lime I drink Canada dry brand.

that sounds excessive. My oldest is in the 6th grade and has one sheet of homework on average per night plus his reading. He also has a study hall period too where using his time wisely can complete most and not have to do it at home. When he was in 3rd grade he would usually have a worksheet plus 10 - 20 min of reading…

I know what you mean it is so easy to just run through a drive thru. All frozen stuff is loaded in sodium and so is McDonalds. I can't eat first thing in the morning I need to be awake at least 2 hours before I can eat. I started making breakfast cookies they are easy to throw in my bag and aren't super sweet because they…

when I turn 40 I already told hubby to save his pennies because I do not want a party but a few days at an all exclusive resort either on Antigua or St. Lucia.

I am crazy obsessed with soup too. I love new recipes. Right now my fav is lentil and sausage soup.

I am 5'9".5 and would love to know where the jeans are. I am always stuck feeling like I am waiting for a flood.

I do not see how a turkey leg would be over 1000 calories I looked in the food diary and most were 100-300 calories except for the turkey leg at seaworld that was out of hand. Anyways eat the turkey leg get rid of the skin and eat the meat it should be fine. Remember to have fun and keep your body moving.

I was diagnosed 2 years ago with meds I am usually around 131/80. Usually medication isn't brought in until its 140/90 or higher. I would just check it at home and if you see a consistent pattern of it being high call your doctor. One high reading doesn't necessarily mean its high I was told to just keep an eye on it. I…

I had GD with my last pregnancy and I was sent to a nutritionist which really helped me. I had to eat 6x a day to feel full just had smaller meals. I could still eat carbs without problems. Just couldn't eat fruit for breakfast had to leave that for later in the day. Ask to see a nutritionist they can set you up a meal…

this sounds fun I am in.

Mine was just tested in June and they found it to be 28. I am supposed to take a supplement but can't due to a health issue that won't allow me to take any supplements right now. Not sure what the side effects are due to it being low but I did ask if I upped my calcium intake and tried to get more sun would it help I was…

My child beat up your honor student.

If there is room I would love to join I need all the help I can get.

I am a mom of two a 10 year old boy and a 21 month old girl. I work 40 hours a week and am secretary of my sons school PTO. I have a hubby who works 60+ hours per week so the household and all the kids needs fall to me. Right now my exercise is walking thankfully my neighborhood is extremely hilly so its a good workout and…

yoga ball is a safety hazard?? If they feel that way you can do one better they actually make a chair that is a yoga ball complete with a back on it and wheels on the bottom. Can't be a safety hazard then. My dentist office switched all their chairs to these including in the office and the hygienists. I asked them what…

skinnytaste.com under recipes she has an entire section on crockpot meals. I get most of mine from there they are great she even has a great recipe for spaghetti sauce in the crockpot. She even gives you calorie count and weight watchers points for each meal. Check it out.

Instead of using hamburger grab a can of black beans drain and rinse them then dry them and food process it up with spices and some bread crumbs and you have yourself a healthy "hamburger". I always skip the bread or use lettuce or a flat thin. I have a really good black bean burger recipe if your interested my husband who…

I was a huge soda drinker loved the stuff when I wanted to start losing weight I went to diet and coke zero to save my calories. Unfortunately it still has quite a bit of sodium in it which I want to lower. I only have one kidney so I need to keep my sodium under 2500mg/day. I love the carbonation so I switched to seltzer…

My oldest son is named Justice after Justus Quartermaine from General Hospital. I changed the spelling but I first heard the name in jr. high and it stuck with me. They eventually "killed him off" and during the month my son was born the show brought him back. He hates it everytime I tell someone when they ask me where I…
