haha. :drinker:

I want my internet search butler back. WTH happened to Jeeves!

Im having a hard time with the pop thing though. The tap water where I live tastes like liquid metal so I add Mio and Crystal Light to it, but I ran out so the only thing for me to drink is my Dads Cokes :(

Right now I am just watching what I am eating and take a few short walks a week. I recently gained 20 pounds and when I walk it kills my hips and my left ankle and calf hurt (all within 15 minutes of a steady pace) But once I sit down for about 5 minutes the pain goes away. I hope within eatting better the weight will…

the saving money thing would work, but my dad is a smoker and I am broke so I smoke his little cigars. free smokes.

I like the cutting out one less every day until I am smoking non. That seems like it will work for me.

I am new and would love to be part of this. I am 27 and want to be healthy and happy with my body by the time I turn 30 in 2 1/2 years. So I hope this will work! miss_amy- lose 7lbs (i'll be happy with 5-6, but 7 or more would be ideal!), LOG EVERYTHING & work out 5-6x a week abby459- Goals for November: I want to focus…

I wake up an hour to an hour and a half before Elijah. I miss my sleep, but I LOVE the peace and quiet in the morning to get ready for the day.

I just got him to try pinapple, he likes pinapple juice, but did not like actual pinapple.

I did not post this just to be told "its ok at least he is eating" And not all of these posts had advice, a great deal of them were demeaning and bashing me as a parents. I got tips out of this that I will put into use. As a matter of fact we just got back from the store and got fruits and veggies. My son helped pick some…

4-6 maybe

There have also been studies done stating that you need to eat breakfast to set the pace for the day. And that after 4 hours of not eating your body goes into starvation mode and keeps you from losing weight. Eating small meals every 4 hours is a lot healthier than eating once or twice a day. Alisha when you lost all the…

So you are in my head now? You know if I really want help or not? I did not cause my son to be picky and you do not know if I did or not. Have you been living in my house for 7 years? Were you the one that fed my son his entire life? No you were not, so you have no idea what he was and was not offered to eat in his…

My friend suggested buying like colored baby foods and adding them to what he eats and I am willing to do that.

really wow.. bossypants. havent heard that one before. Yeah I got helpful tips. I also got a lot of people telling me I am setting my child up for failure, making horrible choices, and making excuses. I, again, dont care if my son eats what he already eats, just wanted to add something healthy to what he eats. Grilled…

This is the last one I am replying too then I am done with everyone. I have $200 a month in FOOD STAMPS if you read that part. The internet is my fathers. McDonalds turned me away because I can not get day care for my son to work the hours they want. And "someone" is not always hiring people that can not drive. There are 5…

My son will eat strawberries, red apples, mandarine oranges, and maybe grapes. Which I love, but he will not touch a single vegetable.

Thank you! I have seen my son refuse to eat for a day and a half because I tried to keep him from eating what he liked. That resulted in him telling his school that I am refusing to feed him and me getting CPS called.

doubtful.

Thank you so much for what you said! I have no job, which means no extra income, which also means that 200 is the ONLY money I have for food. so yeah buying the "crap" lasts longer throughout the month than buying healthy food that will last two weeks. Until you have been poor you dont know how hard it is to buy food. Not…

THANK YOU!

Exactly, I asked for help (tips, Ideas, Pointers). I did not ask to be told that I am making horrible choices and setting my child up for failure. HUGE difference. Thanks.

I like this, I will have to give that a try!

I was raised on "garbage" so to me it was fine. I just over ate it growing up. I dont let my son over eat it.

I will have to check out that book, and I like the idea with mixing known and unknown foods on his plate I will have to give that a try. My sons loves pickles, so I tried the whole "a cucumber is just a pickle out of the juices" thing and he looked at me like I was nuts for trying to get him to eat a cucumber slice.

Few of you are helpful, but the majority of you seem to think that asking for tips means judge my choices. I will feed him what he likes regardless, but I asked for tips to ADD healthier foods, not replace with. Thank you, but no thank you.

lol me too, I am fluffy!

Yes his Dr knows what he eats. She was also my pediatrician and has known my family for 27 years. He gets his multi vitamin every day as well. And my son is the type of kid that eats few times a day (maybe 2x) because he is not hungry, then when he is going through a growth spurt he can't seem to eat enough. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I…

I cant stand most of the fruits or vegetables out there, but I have tried them lol. I make sure when I eat veggies and fruits that I ask him if he wants some and let him know how good they are. When he is ready he will try them.
