When children are very young, pediatricians do recommend "full-fat" products like milk because they need those fats for their growing bodies. However, as they get older, parents are recommended to provide the 2% milk and such. I'm not sure how that rule applies to processed foods like crackers and snacks. I'm wary of most…

I haven't done a juicing fast before but I love the feeling I get when I juice. When I first started, I couldnt believe how much energy I had (no coffee required!) I became a believer very quickly

Not sure if this is really a "ghost story" and I have always been very much the skeptic. However, I have a dolphin snowglobe (no snow inside, just blue water) that would play music and light up when you turned the dial. I was planning a dolphin themed nursery for my first baby and that snowglobe was given to me as a gift.…

Looking into the eyes of my babies and knowing they deserve better. I want to be fit, healthy, and a good role model to them. Most people in my family are morbidly obese and have serious health concerns. I didn't want that to be me.

I'm interested in this, thanks for sharing. I believe Dr. Oz mentioned these on his show before.

Excellent! I'm also a SAHM and love the extra energy. Congrats on the NSV!

Thats a very passive-aggressive comment on her part, esp given under the disguise of "helpful advice". In-laws can be like that. I was where you are now, same starting weight and height. My ticker doesn't show my prior to MFP loss but I'm now less than 20 lbs away from 125. You can do this! Welcome.

As I understand it, it means being 100lbs or more above your ideal body weight. At that point, it can really start causing serious health risks, hence the name.

Michael Jordan Sean Connery or Sean Penn?

I love reading these sweet messages, they always seem to come when I could really use some positive thoughts about myself. I hope you are having a great day. Thank you for taking the time to encourage others.

Received a 45 minute phone call from my brother in Afghanistan. I've been a little down lately and it was so wonderful to hear his voice

Men in uniform, cowboys, and being a good dad. There is something very manly to being a nurturing father.

I think its important for Calcium. I have switched to either almond milk for only 35 calories or coconut milk.

I've been there many times. As Sean said, channel that sadness into motivation and understand this is only temporary. Keep looking forward.

My understanding is its because fiber has a minimal impact on blood sugar. So "net carbs" would be carbs minus fiber

You look gorgeous! This is inspiring to me because I started out around your exact size and working for similar results.

There is a saying something along the lines of "Success is the best revenge". Good for you to channel that negativity into motivation. You are not being a hypocrite, you are making a lifestyle change. Unfortunately, change is very threatening to many people.

I have a thyroid problems and asked my specialist about weight gain/ inability to lose weight. He told me that is a very common misconception that even most general practicioners believe and have led their patients to believe. According to him, "low functioning thyroid is rarely the cause of weight gain or the inability to…

This cracked me up! lol I would have been embarrassed as a kid also but I'm sure the offender was just as embarrassed. I'm usually too polite and sometimes wish I had a little more of what your dad has.

When my daughter was underweight at two, her pediatrician advised me to feed her junk food just to get the weight up. She had been eating a healthy diet but it wasn't helping her gain weight. I used to feel embarrassed by the things I was putting in my cart but it really was only for her. I thought people would either…

I normally don't pay any attention but the one time I did was because the woman was super fit, lean, and muscular. I basically looked to get ideas on healthy things to eat. I was shocked because she had one container of protein powder and the rest was overflowing with chips, doughnuts, Little Debbies, full calorie sodas,…

Those scars tell a story of courage that only those who have fought in the name of freedom can understand. The rest of us only know that we sleep safely at night because of brave men like you who have served our country with honor. Thank you for your service.

To 3ball I have Jack Lalannes juicer and I love it. Even though you don't like veggies, you would probably be surprised that the taste is really not as bad as you might think. I usually add one type of fruit (dont want to overdo carbs and cals) you taste the fruit more than anything and the rest you get used to. I would…

Earlier in the year, I watched Heavy on A&E. I hope they bring it back for another season. There used to be another guy who would help people lose weight.... something along the lines of "I want to save your life" I dont know if it comes on anymore but I really liked that one.

That is the best NSV ever!! Congrats!
