fruits with cottage cheese or cheese stick, veggies and cheese,nuts and cheese, yogurt with granola...these give you a balance of protein and carbs that balance you throughout the day. I usually go over on the proteins a bit, which I think is better than going over on carbs. I only plug in rice and potatoes if I need the…

I think the only thing good about a cleanse is behavior change. If you are looking to change your food and beverage habits, it can help you begin with a fresh state of mind. The body is sufficient to cleanse itself, so it benefits the mind not the body. Good luck in your journey to good health!

It's best to stay within your range, but to go up beyond on occasion is OK. I wouldn't hold it though. I'd slow a bit to let your rate drop about 10-15 below and pick up the pace again. You'll get to where you stay in range eventually! Good luck!

Hey, today is my birthday, too! Happy Birthday!:flowerforyou:

that's great! Good luck!

Welcome! I wish you the best in your journey to better health!

Great going! Keep it up! And have a great day, too!!!:happy:

The carrots and milk are great ideas! Then go brush your teeth...who wants to eat after you've just brushed!

Way to go! Keep it up!

Wow!!! Great story! What an inspiration...congratulation on the 5K! You have a daughter who has overcome so much...I can only IMAGINE how proud you are!

lunges, squats, push-ups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, running in place, step up on a stool...even do all these things back to back and repeat. Good luck!

I don't like mayo or cool whip, so I use plain yogurt, a bit of mustard, relish, celery salt, pepper and a bit of onion powder. If you don't mind crunch, a bit of minced onion and celery is really good.

Congratulations and Good Luck!:happy:

When you trim them back, try some Osmocote fertilizer. That will give the plant a boost for flowering and help resist pest and disease damage!

That's AWESOME tweety! Congratulations...YOU DID IT!:happy: :flowerforyou:

I just found a great on the go b-fast if you have about 3 minutes to do it. The Smart Ones has a egg white and cheese english muffin that you heat in the microwave for 1 min 20 sec. You turn it over and cook and add'l 30 seconds...this is where I add a slice of canadian bacon. It's yummy and is a quick protein carb start…

Thanks for this info! I make homemade stuff all the time and have little pieces of paper where I'm jotting down nutrition information on this and that, calculating the meals nutrition data. I never feel like I have gotten it quite right with all the different amount portions on packaging and then the quantity of servings I…

I have only spanked when my daughters did something that put their lives in danger...such as run into the street. My parents were spankers and I can remember the humiliation of it, and to be honest, I have some anger towards my mom for it. The difference between my mom and dad was this: my mom hit me in anger with anything…

If possible, you need to be eating mini-meals every 3-4 hours along with plenty of water. If you did that, you would stop feeling so hungry at night. Can you keep small snack sized baggies of healthy choices at work for in between meals? Cereal, nuts, fruit, whole grain crackers and cheese, dried fruit, etc. Also, once…

I think that I would lay off for a while. The next time he says something about his weight, THEN ask him if he's seriously concerned and wants to do something about it. If he says yes, then you can start to give him advice. But for now, he doesn't want it and will only resent it. I understand your concern...maybe you can…

This site is great in helping you realize calories and nutrition in the foods we eat! I love it. Welcome and good luck!

Is exercise during nap time out of the question? A DVD or two may be just the trick. Or a step and bands or cardio and muscle toning are also inexpensive and easy options that go anywhere and store easily. That's tough having 2 one year olds...I know you have your hands full, and I commend you for your efforts to take care…

You are probably fine for now...losing 1 pound a week is great! You do need to start trying to eat your exercise calories! I know what you mean...that's a lot of healthy food! If you eat 3-300 calorie meal/snacks, you'll get those calories and nutrients your body needs. Good luck! I'll be trying to eat an add'l 850…

Welcome! Since we all love food at this site, the best advice I can give is to log your meals and snacks before you actually eat them! This helps you to make educated choices...and hopefully healthier choices! Good luck!
