That's awesome! Way to work for it! :D

You might take raw organ meats, pulse them in the food processor, and freeze them in ice cube trays. Then every time you have a meal that calls for ground meat, also add one or two nutrient-dense organ cubes and spread the healthy goodness over several meals. If you like how they taste, however, by all means, eat them as…

Finally! A voice of reason in the sea of insanity. You've listed some of my very favorite wellness resources. Weston A. Price, Chris Kresser...hard to argue with their findings. If weight loss is your only goal, then calories in vs. calories out may work for you. If whole body wellness is your goal, then we're talking a…

We drink local, raw, organic, whole milk (and cream!) from 100% grass fed cows because real food is medicine and it's full of delicious nutritiousness. I'd take raw any day over the puss-filled, pasteurized variety with the FDA stamp of approval. As a side effect, after making the switch, I lost about 20 pounds without…

Cook 2 separate meals? She's not a short-order cook. He's a big boy. If he doesn't like what she makes, he can cook for himself. If you subscribe to the belief that the woman should do the cooking, then it's likewise her responsibility to manage her own kitchen and cook what is in the best interest of her family's health.…

Love this! Might just have to steal it myself.

I like to do a chicken salad or a tuna salad because you can really mix it up with what you put in it so you get lots of variety taste-wise and you can make a decent meal out of it. Today was chicken with bell peppers, onion, a bit of grated cheese and a bit of mayo. Some days I like chicken with celery, onion, broccoli,…

Leslie also has a 20 minute video if you're pressed for time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df2gn6-w0dE

I think you can say something without being overly direct. If you frame it as your own, personal experience instead of what she *should do* she probably won't take it personally. You could say something like, "I have found that cutting down on sugar has really bolstered by immune system...I hardly ever get sick anymore and…

I've transcribed sessions for a psychologist and based on what I've heard about lack of personal care, excess clutter, lack of motivation to do ANYTHING, I'd say (at a minimum) he is suffering from depression. Based on the the other, more controlling (read: scary) aspects you shared about his personality, I'd suspect he's…

Heroes, you are. I am so inspired by your success stories! Thanks for sharing! :)

I'm in! :D

You look awesome! Way to go! :)

Yes, I'd have to agree. Big, furry, beasts are nice too! ;)

I'm afraid I have you all beat: Steven Tyler

You look fantastic! Good job! :)

Finally noticed that TEAM PURPLE has it's own thread! Way to go, y'all!!

You look fantastic!!

You are an inspiration and a rockstar! You look beautiful! :)

Always. What are you hiding from? YOU know what you did. The rest of us don't care what you did. The only thing that matters is that you dust yourself off and try again. There is nothing to be gained by not weighing in or logging your food. Both serve as a great reminder of what you can overcome. Just today I was glancing…

My four year old daughter and I dance like FOOLS in the living room every chance we get! It's a great workout! :)

Since you don't know what he was grossed out about, let it go. It may have nothing to do with your weight or how you look. It might simply be the fact that you're a girl or that you have girl parts. It's a weird age for boys...he may not be interested in girls yet and, therefore, has no frame of reference for judging a…

Just came across a cherry recipe that looks DELICIOUS: http://www.carriedonthewind.com/2011/07/cherries-and-something-yummy.html

I always gang that TOM too. It's just water retention, though, and gone by the next week. I wouldn't be concerned unless the weight is accumulating - gaining 5 pounds that TOM and only dropping 2 the following week. Don't worry about it! If you just can't stand to log the gain, just skip that week's weigh-in (although,…

That's awesome! Way to go! :)

Awesome! You look great!

I'm in too, please! :) There are so many of you that I don't know where to start with friend requests but if anyone wants to friend me, I'd love to have a few more!

Lookin' good! :)
