close 81is our combined age. wow, we must look really old. Yvette above me looks to be about 24, her child around 4.

My nutritionist told me that diet soda and regular soda aren't much different to the brain. They are both sweet and that is what the body notices. She said diet sodas will make me crave sweets and suggested that I stop them or at least cut down to one a week as a treat. She suggested if I feel I must have something sweet…

depends on the pizza. look it up by what type it is and from which restaurant and make your decision then. my nutritionist said it's ok to splurge every once in a while. she said if I was going to have a cheat day not to go over board.

My boyfriend didn't want me loosing weight either. He is a big man and thought that if I lost weight that I would leave him. When I asked him to loose weight with me he gained 30 pounds. Ate himself right into diabetes. Now we are both doing the mpf thing. Is your husband a big man too? Do yall have children? Maybe you…

congradlations on your 5 pound weight loss. thanks for the post. i don't know very much about ms so it was educational. i have lots of health issues the primary one is hiv disease. i am leary to go swimming in a public pool or take aqua zumba because some other hiv patients that i have met always seemed to catch something…

this year was a group picture with all my brothers and sisters. it was the first picture that was taken of all of us in 25 years. the pain was on my face too. the rest of my family looked somewhat normal and my face was all screwed up on most of the shots. it is good you are exercising and trying loose weight. it is going…

i don't log the cleaning up after dinner or picking up the house. i do log it as exercise if it's a heavy cleaning day. when i vaccum cleaner, clean the shower, tub, sweep and mop. it's hard for me and i end up with bruises from it. by the time i am finished i am sweating like a pig. it usually takes me an hour and half. i…

hi i found this site a few weeks ago it might help you get some ideas for chair exercises and lower impact workouts. . it's free. http://www.ncpad.org/14weeks/index.php. it is for people with disabilites. it has things for people who are wheel chair bound as well as for upwardly mobile people. i lost 45 pounds so far. 33…

the cravings usually come when it's dark out. then i want peanut butter and jelly and who nu's and sherbet and butter crackers with cheese log. instead of having those or some of those this morning i had 1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese and strawberries and a cup of diet root beer.

without actually seeing your food diary i really could not say why you are starving. the nutritionist saw told me to eat more protien and less carbs because carbs make you hungy and protien will make you fuller longer. some people on the board suggested protien shakes made from whey protien powder. they actually have…

thank you all for your input. i appreciate it all very much. i noted all of it in my food notebook so i can look back at it later. my body doesn't store protein well for some odd reason and my labs always say i am protein deficient. i haven't tried shakes or whey before. the garbonzo beans for hummus sounds good too. i…

i weighed 125 once. so long ago I can't remember. I was always unhappy with how I looked. I am 5'3 and have a very large bust. I have since I was around 9 years old. People were always making comments about my breasts for me to pay attention to my weight. I always tried to look like a boy so I wouldn't get so much…

I love video games. mostly as of late i have been playing sims3 and sims3 pets. magic the gathering on pc and i play resident evil 4 on my wii. i had to make a deal with my nurtirionist this week that i would only play video games for the amount of exercise i get. odd thing i exercised on the weekend but was so tierd that…

hi my name is sharon. i live in bella vista arkansas. i have h.i.v. disease, asthma, high blood pressure and i use a cane to walk and stand for long periods of time. my weight used to be really low too. i had to force myself to eat. i got on some good meds and now i eat all the time. mostly out of boredom and the fact that…

are you allowed hot dogs? oscar mayer has some light beef franks that have only 90 calories. wonder bread makes whole wheat hot dog and hamburger buns that have 80 calories per bun. smart balance makes a low sugar peanut butter that's 100 calories per table spoon. i only put 1 teaspoon of it on my 45 calorie sara lee. if…

you can eat a couple tablespoons of olive oil or peanut butter to add some calories. i recommend the extra virgin olive oil over the peanutbutter for more calories and it doesn't have the carbs and sugar that the peanut butter has. it is even good for you raw and in moderation.

it would be more disappointing if you did not care what you had eaten. you had a workout today. you didn't wimp out and not do it even though it is summer and probably hot. i don't think you should focus so much on what you did today that caused your disappointment. focus on what you did right instead. as the other people…

progress kinda blows the biggin sometimes. hang in there.

the person who made the suggestion about a crock pot is right on. i got one two weeks ago for my birthday. i love it. toss your stuff in it in the morning or even at night before you go to bed and turn it on. 8 hours you have a healthy low fat meal that you made all by yourself. it doesn't heat up the house and it smells…

water purist will tell you no but others will tell you yes. my docter says adding crystal light to my water counts as water. mio simular. he said as long as it doesn't contain sugar, isn't soda (diet or otherwise), milk or caffinated.

hi sorry you are hurting. maybe these two articles i found will help. http://walking.about.com/cs/medleg/ht/htshinsplints.html http://www.ehow.com/how_2184988_prevent-shin-splints.html

your weight loss is wonderful but you need to be happy with the person you are now too. that means looking your best at whatever size you are. you can't do that in clothes that don't fit you. if 10's are too big you should have gotten a pair of size 9's, you are a beautiful woman what ever size you are. be happy with…

my doctors nurse recommended the smart pack of adult gummy vitamins from sam's club. it comes in a package 5 gummy bears. it a multi vitamin, omega 3, calcuim, vitamin d and a b6/b12 combo. they have 50 calories per pack but taste really good. i use it as my candy fix.

i hate cooked yellow and zuccini squash. i eat it if i have to but when it is boiled or steamed it is just so slimy. i can tolorate it in lasagna if it is chopped up small or fried if i make it.
