My son, who is the pickiest eatter EVER, loves it! I add a tsp of chocolate milk syrup and he eats it like it's goin outta style

Welcome! MFP is an amazing support system. Add lots of friends, they really help when you need to vent or need a virtual kick in the butt. lol

Congrats!!! That is a fantabulous NSV

Brilliant! I made myself eat breakfast today! So far so good!

I am, in a way, glad I am not the only one having this "drive to succeed" issue. It makes me feel like less of an idiot. I appreciate all the words of encouragement I have received. I keep staring at the success stories and asking myself "why can't I do that?" My husband says I can. I suppose I just have to get to the…

I have noticed my periods got lighter since I started too. But yes, I have also noticed the weight fluctuation is normal. Don't worry. I think most women go through this :D Keep at it!

I think this is just what I need!

I hear you! I am the same way. I only ever broke out when I was pregnant and then it was only a few. My skin isn't liking me. I switched to the Clinique 3 step system and it is helping. My doctor says it is because I am eating better, my body is expelling all the yuckyness it has accumulated over the years. I just hope it…

Here I thought they were attempting a written fist bump. You know, like nice, good job, I like it....etc LOL

I also take a B100 complex, chrome, Omega 369, and make sure I drink my tea every day :D

Undergarments. If those are comfortable, then everything else can wait. LOL I think I would go for jeans though after that. I can't wait to buy new jeans. They are my fave piece of clothing!

It is probably water weight! Your body would hang on to the water to flush out all the sugar in the alcohol. It is frustrating. I had it happen once too. Now, I only weigh myself once a week. No matter what! It frustrates me too much to see daily lol

I am big on breakfast! But I don't likie plain egg whites, so I use the egg creations ( or similar liquid egg). I make egg mcmuffins out of it. An english muffin, some cheese. I am in heaven lol As for dinner, if you are a burger person, there are lots of low fat options. I'll cook a chicken breast and put it on a bun. Or…

OH YEAH! I had 2 c-sections in 17 months. It is hard! I can't feel the skin on my stomach still even. Don't get discouraged though. I am starting to lose and have found that DVDs that focus on abs and yoga have helped a lot!!!

There is something mentally wrong when you set a goal like that for yourself!!!! I agree with the previous poster, her kids need a healthier environment! What does that teach them? What does she hope to get out of this? Other then MAJOR health problems?

I know exactly how you feel! I missed 3 days of exercise because we were away, and I felt like I was going to crawl out of my skin!!!!! I never thought I's enjoy exercising so much. I think it is the natural high you get. My husband goes to the gym days a week and I never "got it". I HATE GYMS! But now I catch myself…

I am so stealing that!!! (BFT) I have already used it on my friend. LOL

Lol I am always googling things from here. This sounds really good. I love her dvds as is. Might have to pick it up too

I have 3 very little ones. I like the dance DVDs, so do the kids lol, as well as the Wii programs. Any DVD that has a 20 minute workout selection of the 10 minute multiples are great for time saving, and can be very intense, but good for beginners.

Just goes to show...we're not alone :happy:

copy paste print tape on fridge next to "You earn your body" Enjoy

Do you watch your salt? A friend of mine had problems losing weight and when she lowered her salt intake, it came off. She drank lots of water and was holding a lot of it because of the salt. You'd be surprised how much salt is in things you don't think about. Just a thought. Good luck and keep up the great work!!!

The cookbook Deceptively Delicious is pretty good too. It helps you hide vegetables in your recipes. I have found a great number of them a bit high in fat and salt, but you can tweak the recipes to make them healthier still. I don't cook with salt and change up some of the oils used. But it has some great ideas. Plus, him…

Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!! This website is amazing! I have a very picky son as well and this site just made his diet so much healthier!!!!!

Ok....I'm gonna admit it....I have a soft spot for Lady GaGa's new CD. I downloaded it for working out and it has a great beat for it. It's a lot more musical then her last one too.

HI, Have you ever gone to www.livingwithout.com ? It has some great recipes and ideas for a gluten free diet :) It might give you some variety. There is also www.glutenfreeclub.com/Recipes www.sparkrecipes.com You should also check out youtube for exercise routines. They have some ones that take place while sitting. Good…

Don't fret! You are SO not alone lol. I have found that the type of calories I am eating make a huge difference. Sweet potato (yams) for example have less calories, but are filling like a starch, so you can eat more of them. I have found that eating the foods with the fewest calories aren't always the best option. Veggies…

LASAGNA! All the way! Has everything in it and tastes so good! It would have to be homemade though!!
