I don't know how many songs are written about the lengths that extraordinary men go to for the women they love. What about the extraordinary lengths that women go to every day for the men who refuse to love anyone more than they love themselves? That would be a great music video. I can empathise with where you are. I spent…

Thanx!

You're right ... I guess I was trying to find an easy route and see if anyone else had done the legwork already. The USDA says that children should have around 21 major vitamins, minerals, and nutrients each day…

Ooo .... vegetable egg cupcakes? You have my attention ... what is that and how do you make it?

That is an awesome site! What a great tool!

We want to do that eventually. That's funny - I'm white and my husband is Mexican, and both of our parents ripped out their carpet and put in wood floors - they're gorgeous!

LOL! That was my husband's suggestion too!

I went on a couple of those sites where they have coupons online, but they make you give them your email address. Never again! I think they sold my address to everyone and their mother. I ended up having to change my email, it was so bad!! Does anyone know of any sites where they don't spam you, or they don't ask for your…

He's lowering his dose? That's encouraging ... thanks for sharing!

No kidding ... meds to regulate your heart rate and blood pressure can be ugly. I took some blood pressure meds for a little while to help with migraines - I thought I was going to pass out for hours. A friend of mine takes a different kind ... and her heart rate doesn't change very quickly with her activity. It leaves her…

It could even be a project he does with his Dad. He would probably make more work than he would help with, but I'm sure it would be something they would both remember. Thank you so much!

I think you're right ... that might work!

Oh my goodness! That's brilliant! It would be like his own tree fort (minus the tree). Thanks!!!

It would depend on how much of each thing you use. I use a lot of cabbage and beans, so you can eat quite a bit and feel full without going over on your calories.

I'm kidding, by the way, ... In case someone gets the bright idea to sue me.

I like that one .... and their therapy sessions won't be signed off until they can get through my aerobics class with 8 lb hand weights on a step with 2 risers AND talk about their Mother at the same time. That may not be insurance billable .... Or ... I could work for the court system and employ this as a punishment.…

That's a great idea ... thanks.

Those "starve yourself for a week" diets are very effective, but unless you intend to starve yourself forever, they're not efficient. Regaining balance after you have slipped into starvation mode is very difficult. It's hard to see those pounds that you starved to get rid of come back, and bring their friends with them, as…

Turkey artichoke bread? That sounds amazing. I didn't get past that part.

I think I'm more disturbed by the fact that we market Twinkies as a type of food in this county instead of as an industrial packing material, insect bait, or livestock feed. .... but the first time you taste one, you understand. You gotta live a little sometimes.

The first time I got up early to make myself an egg on a weekday, I thought it was such a hardship, but you get used to it. Then, it takes less time, and feels easier. Plus, two eggs with one of the yolks removed has about 20 grams of protein and about 130 calories. When you add a piece of whole wheat bread (100-150…

Those are awesome - I add stir fried veggies under the cheese. (Stir fry the veggies in a little Pam or olive oil first, so they don't make the tortilla soggy - found that one out the hard way). It turns into a mess, but it's full of vitamins and fiber, and it's really filling that way. Use lots of garlic, sprinkle oregano…

I made this recipe the other day, and the loaf is practically gone. We loved it! I actually used grape nuts on top instead of almonds (I was out of almonds). I'll try the almonds next time, but the grape nuts were great. I substituted part of the flour for grape nuts too - it gives a great texture, and more fiber. Not…

Look at this web site http://www.dietbites.com/calories/flour-calories-in-flour.html Different types of flour have very different caloric and other nutritional content. Apparently, peanut flour has a fraction of the calories of other types of flour at 196 calories per cup ... whole wheat flour has 407 per cup ...White…

My Boyfriend, kids, and I LOVE banana bread. I have tried so many "low-cal" "low Sugar" recipes, and many of them stink. The last one was so bad, the kids won't even touch it. This one looks good ... I'll try it out ... thanks for posting it.

That answers my question. Thanks guys! Bring on the fruit.

Wow! Thanks! The water and the seafood seem to help.

Everyone is saying to add protein. Any suggestions on lean, low calorie proteins? Nuts and meat make me go over on my calories, and beans are not really a complete protein (are they?). I have reservations on the powder stuff.

I did my first cleanse about a month ago. My boyfriend and I did it together. I thought it was a good place to start, but it's not a panacea. It made me feel exhausted and weak all of the time. I was determined to give it a good concerted effort, but in the end, the benefits were not drastic. I started eating lots of…
