I've paid about 40 on average in the past but I haven't cut my hair in a year I colour it myself. Manic Panic is about $15 a container and that lasts me quite a while (prob 6 months or more) Oh and stuff to bleach it if I want prob equals $10 Why wouldn't you tip? When I get a pedicure (which is sadly like once a season) I…

5'10" I have been 165lbs (I was 18) and 200 lbs (early 30s) My Dr says 180 is good. I have a large frame, broad shoulders, ample hips and a butt. :) I think that is more realistic at this point in my life (and I was happy at 200lbs as well) and just to give some perspective and that sizing is weird! At 18 I was a size…

5'10" and marking for inspiration

oh I can help you with that...but you'd have to take me with you first :laugh: I'd probably contact the cruise line and see what meals are available in general, and try to pick healthier choices with some splurges. From what I can remember of the cruises I have been on, usually the buffets have the best selection of…

I love your attitude and of course you have fun hair, so that makes you more awesome! :) Feel free to add me if you wish

I use my slow cooker all the time. You can adapt pretty much any recipe for it, and substitute in a reasonable way for some of the liquid component. Use a milk in place of cream (almond, soy, cow) or yogurt. Dairy is usually added at the end to prevent curdling Apple sauce, or fresh juices can go in as well. For example I…

From WebMD Experts say that for up to 25% of people, most antidepressant medications -- including the popular SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) drugs like Lexapro, Paxil, Prozac, and Zoloft -- can cause a weight gain of 10 pounds or more. It's the meds. Talk to your Dr

My 2 cents Create a list for yourself regarding what sort of partner you want in your life. It will have 3 categories "must haves' "absolutely nots" and "willing to compromise on" Determine for yourself what each category contains. If you flat out decide that you need someone who is fully supportive of your healthier…

As everyone is saying I try to focus on other things as my scale fluctuates too much to rely on it. Can I climb the stairs easier? Pick up toys easier? How are my clothes fitting? I also am trying to rid myself of thinking patterns which contributed to my weight gain. Stuff like there are "bad" foods and guilt associated…

Nope. lack of sleep is associated with a whole host of problems including weight gain. Ask any parent or person suffering from sleep apnea

I swear we need a MFP clothing swap! I buy my clothes for the most part at thrift stores but you can also try Walmart, Target, and mens jeans. Maybe just live in Yoga pants until you drop down to a true size lower in the jeans you love?

I too have super high arch feet and PT from it. I make sure to always exercise my feet and go barefoot to keep my foot flexible. BUT If you have a tear, it doesn't make sense to me to keep trying to exercise it. I know someone who has very bad PT and had a tear. Her Dr put her in a special walking cast so there was no…

Isn't that interesting. I literally never felt my navel piercing. My boyfriend at the time was turning 6 shades of pale watching it happen but i watched it and felt nothing.

Navel piercing and double earring holes. I'd love to have more piercings but they don't really heal well for me and close up fast. I would love Tattoos but can't afford them right now. I am saving to get my first for my 40th birthday. I am always coloring my hair fun colours too :)

What? no it's awesome. I love wearing 5 layers of clothes to go out, slipping and sliding on ice, shivering at bus stops in -25C weather (that is todays temp here with the windchill) and not seeing real sun until you know...June ah the joys of being Canadian :)

A new bottle of nailpolish or clothes from the thrift store. I just put on an XL yoga pant yesterday. (I am usually a 2x) Maybe it was just a brand discrepancy but I don't care. lol

You prob have some form of Sensory Processing Disorder. A lot of people do. Food issues are a common element in it for many people. The way to deal with it is trying to slowly add new foods in over time. Try raw veggies instead of cooked. Info on SPD http://www.spdfoundation.net/about-sensory-processing-disorder.html Look…

There are no "good" or "bad" foods. It's all fuel, just some of it is waaaaay tastier than others and moderation is the key

I am in the same boat. My husband is morbidly obese and although he says he wants to get healthier is super resistant to everything. he also thinks that surgery will be the only way he could possible get healthier. I don't have any wonderful earth shattering advice for you. I try to lead by example and encourage him the…

Tomato plants /green tomato. I love that smell. It's so refreshing and clean smelling to me

No matter what you put on your skin, you can't put skin that has stretched back together again. They do fade,but they will still be there. I have so many stretch marks it's not funny. Some are really wide because my skin stretched so much, but whatever. I still have every right to wear a bathing suit and so do you!

Do you have a relative or good friend that you could live with instead? You can not change your moms thinking but you can do things to not be tainted by her mental illness. Eating in your room sounds like it could work as long as you don't feel like you are hiding your eating, it might trigger issues for you. You will have…

At the end of my pregnancy I was 300 lbs. (complications and high blood pressure) I am 5'10". I am currently around 265 lbs

I think a lot of people do that, men and women. I never think I am as big as I am until you know the pictures or I try to squeeze by and oops! pardon my hips..lol It's okay though. It took time to gain that weight and it is going to take time to drop it. In the meantime, remember how awesome you are right now. Hugs

Great job! :smile:

Old Navy jeans do that to me. The 18 is falling off but the 16 I can't fit. WTF? Frustrating but hey!! your jeans are too big. awesome:drinker:

So have you tried the chocolate chip goldfish? Crack x 1000! lol I have a son who is almost 5. Feel free to add me :)

You are very welcome and I hope you feel better soon. This is the video I have used it the past and it's really helpful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QA-wi0d7-Ro
