I often keep a plate of healthy options on the table that the kids can graze on when they are hungry (bite size fruit, popcorn, nuts, etc). A lot of times, if they are old enough to get to it, it takes the pressure off to snack on the stuff sitting there when they are hungry, without mom or dad hanging over them trying to…

Congratulations! Millions of people with migranes would probably consider this easy compared with suffering like that. Great job!

Hi - I have about the same stats as you, but just a few years older. I have not friended anyone yet, but have been using the site for a few months and was hoping to find a few people to friend. Sending request.

You have come to the right place! Please keep it up. If you are interested, you can open up your food diary, and get some suggestions on what you might change to get better results. This is a very supportive community. Don't give up - everyone here is on a similar journey with you. Just keep living and learning! Good luck!

I try to look up the nutrition information for a restaurant before we go and pick what I will order based on that. If they don't offer that information, I just do the best I can - salads are good, or eat only half of what they bring me.

I was going to say soup. You could also saute it like you would collard greens or spinach and eat it as a veggie side. I suppose you could also cut it into fine strips and add to salad - might not be so overwhelming with the taste and texture that way.

bump - interesting question - I love making bread myself, but just entered the ingredients on the recipe question and went on with it. I don't know if it would make a noticable difference what the yeast consumes and converts.

I am not an expert, but I think in this situation, if you listen to your body, and keep the calories healthy and good quality, you will be fine. Eat if your hungry, stop when you are not.

These are great results! Can't beat that!

I wish you could make my lunch every day too! :)

I love kale in soup!

I recently discovered that splenda gives me headaches. If you have been using it in your diet, you might try going without it for a couple of days. Good luck!

I think the 3 forks should be framed in a shadow box and hung in the dining room. I would love to see the reaction it got! This has kept me entertained for far too long!

Best of luck to you. Don't forget, this is your body, and the only one you will ever get - take care of it. Please thank your husband for his service - we all really appreciate what our service men and women do and the sacrifices their families make! Take care!

I used to be able to claim 5'2.25", but now am down to 5'2" even. Maybe it was my 80's and 90's hair styles!

Forget the competition. You look to be right on track with the goals you have set for yourself. Don't forget those! You are doing great work! Keep it up!

Thanks - I have been wondering about this.

Thank you for sharing your story. Best of luck on your Warrior Dash!

That is awesome! Great work! Have the best Mothers' Day Ever!

I notice if I empty out first, it is not such an issue. Also, it got better as I worked out more, but like they all say - kegels!

I would definitely recommend a polar one. They do have them that look like watches and have chest straps. I had a timex for awhile, and the calories burned were way higher than what I had been getting off of my old Polar. They have them at amazon. Good luck

I really like Rodney Yee Yoga Burn. It sounds like it might be overkill, but it is really a very slow workout where he takes you in and out of each pose/stretch about three times, which really helps to gain flexibilty. This one is always my nice slow treat on Friday after a good series of workouts the other days. Best of…

I go to a gym that has 5:30 am classes. Everyone, including my husband usually sleeps thru it. Not much to interfere with my workout plans that early! It is not easy at first, but the community of people I have met doing the same thing as me has been very motivating. If you don't have a gym with early classes, try to find…

If you are sitting all day, are there stairs in your building? You could try a hike up the stairs a couple of times a day. Good luck!

I am going to return the Timex and buy a new chest strap for my polar. I don't want to change what was already working for me! Thanks everyone!

Both have chest straps.

Love your story! It's amazing how much damage we can do to ourselves without realizing it until we stop!
