  • The LAST time I worked out at home while my husband was there - he sat on the couch eating potato chips while I worked out to a DVD. He wouldn't leave the room for me for 45 minutes. I was NOT happy. They don't mean anything by it. Just focus on you and tell him to be supportive or just shut up!

  • I'm not an expert....like most other people on this site. But I've definitely struggled along with it! SO, without much more background on you or your situation, I can ask a few questions that might get to the point - How diligent are you with your foods? Are you weighing, measuring everything and REALLY making sure your…

  • it's the same reason people also become addicted to exercise, dieting and the opposite extreme lifestyle. food can become as much of an addiction as anything else. and people go down that road for many reasons (sexual abuse, lack of self esteem, separation issues, etc.), but it all comes down to psychology. why people "use…

  • maybe because a lot of people get into their "comfortable relationship mode" and put on weight. Then they decide enough is enough and it's time to take care of business and care of themselves, instead of just the relationship! That's my story anyway. When you're single and out there looking, you're only focused on you, and…

    in How to eat healthy on a tight budget? Comment by jagh09 May 2012
  • I hear ya! Living healthy on a budget is not easy. I make a lot of soups, stews and chilis. I'll cook a big pot of something on a Sunday and then put it into containers in single portions and freeze it. Then I have quick and healthy meals ready to go and I can eat for a week on a $10 pot of something yummy. I'm a meat…

I put a TBSP of Plain Natural peanut butter on the waffles and eat it like a sandwich. For a more protein based recipe, I love egg…

Then you can opt to add in things like ground chicken/turkey, or lean beef, etc. as you use it, to give you more variety. I also like the Weight Watchers…

  • Pasta and bread portions in this country are completely out of control. If you eat a sensible portion size and incorporate pastas into a healthy balanced diet, they do not make you fat. Sorry, but millions of Italians can't be wrong. (I'm talking in Italy, not the Americanized super-size-me Italian restaurants). Just like…

  • Nothing to be concerned about. During the first weeks of a major change, your body is shedding water weight, toxins, etc. Every body is different, and men tend to lose faster! However, if your losses stay that high, it's definitely not heatlhy. But realistically, next week you might see very little change. Don't fret! Keep…

  • More sleep? :-) I find that tea with caffeine gives me just enough boost, and is much gentler on my stomach. And when I'm looking to taper off my caffeine addiction, tea is a good step down for me. Then I go to decaf or herbal tea, just because I like a hot drink in the morning. Other things that helped my get-up-and go in…

  • In addition to taking a daily supplement, leafy greens are good. So are legumes, lean meats, poultry and fish. You can purchase pasta, rice and whole grain bread products that are iron enriched as well. There are a lot of good resources if you use Google and search for "Good Sources of Iron". Good luck with it!

  • I totally feel your pain! Don't give up on it. You will have to learn and re-assess constantly. This is a lifestlye change not a quick fix.
