I have 5 under age 9, and I know it's NOT always an excuse! My youngest are 4, and even though I no longer have babies, I still have days where I try all day to go on a walk or do my yoga DVDs, and really cannot fit it in. It once took me 2 hours to get through a 15 minute yoga session because of interruptions. So I feel…

First, try cooking in cast-iron cookware. I've heard (not sure if this is scientific) that this actually helps increase iron consumption. Also, be sure that you're eating the right foods along with your iron-rich foods. Some assist absorption of iron while others inhibit it: http://www.irondisorders.org/diet/ And take note…

My heart breaks for you... not because you have stretch marks, but because you've given them such power in your life. I hope you don't do this again to yourself this summer. I understand the compelling desire to cover yourself, but long sleeves and long pants in summer heat must be utterly miserable. Don't punish yourself…

I think it's hard to live with any imperfection when you're 19... at your age, it seems like everyone has a perfect body. I remember feeling the same way about myself, and it's such an unhealthy mindset. I think this kind of insecurity is something that fades as you mature, but at 19, it's so hard to truly be comfortable…

I've been doing a yoga DVD that says it's for weight loss -- search Amazon for Rodney Lee + Mariel Hemingway + 15 minute results. It includes four 15-minute sessions. The first couple times I did this workout, I had to keep watching them a lot, and I know I wasn't doing the poses 100% correctly. But they use a lot of the…

I've now had five 3 year olds, and they have all been sour/sweet to varying degrees. My 5th has been the most sour! When I was a new mom, I read "Making the Terrible Twos Terrific" by John Rosemond... it applies to 3 year olds as well. He offers some really great coping techniques and perspective. I highly recommend it. A…

Wow, you've had a lot of major life changes in a short time... deaths in the family, multiple moves, 2 babies... and it sounds like you're probably battling depression too. Sleep deprived, I'm guessing? You have a lot working against you emotionally. The root of your problem isn't your weight -- your weight is a symptom of…

Hi! Congrats on the 20 lb weight loss -- that's awesome! This is not scientific fact... but I know that for me, I need to keep my blood sugar balanced to be successful at losing weight. (I'm not diabetic.) If I eat too much at one meal, I feel like I have a crash. My snacks section of my food diary is as big as my meals…

Hi, new here! I work from home and almost always stay up late to work after my kids/husband are in bed. This has traditionally been my snack time. Trying to cut it out altogether, but have started by making better snack choices. I'm glad I found this group! Me: 2 LNS: 5

-- Shrimp is very satisfying. I love it in pasta, risotto, and leafy green salad. -- Try ground chicken or turkey and make burgers loaded up with veggies & skip the cheese -- Ground chicken/turkey is also great for making chili or taco salad (using salsa as salad dressing) -- Sunbutter or Soynut butter (we have nut…
