We actually started the C2K program about 2 years ago during the summer. We had to stop when she started back at school because she had to be at the bus stop at 6:30 each morning. Evenings were too chaotic to try. Later that year I was diagnosed with a heart condition that ended my jogging. So far she does love zumba which…

Thanks Mccokat! It really helps hearing from people closer in age to my daughter. You totally nailed something. She probably does need to learn stress management. She deals with a lot of friend and family drama and it gets to her. Congrats on what you have accomplished! You must be so proud of yourself. I really appreciate…

No, neither my employer nor my insurance company offer anything like that. It would be cool if they did. I've been trying to encourage my daughter to cook but she's not very interested. Last week I told her that I wanted her and I to sit down together and for her to pick out something she wanted the two of us to make for…

She doesn't have much money. She gets high calorie foods when she visits her friends, her extended family, and even at school. She gets a lot of high calorie foods from her friends sharing parts of their lunch with her. She and I talked again while we were taking a walk last night. She brought up that she had lost 2 lbs…

I'm trying to lead by example, I'm trying to encourage without saying the wrong things, I'm trying to give her the…

I've thought about that also in the past and the best decision I've come to so far is to be honest with my daughter and also value my health. I've told her the truth that it is hard for me to resist sugary treats and therefore I don't keep them in the house. It's a decision I've made for my health. Outside of our house is…

I think you are correct.

Thanks everyone. I guess my biggest concern is that no matter what I do, I can't make the decision to get healthy for her and she isn't making that decision herself. She complains about her high weight frequently. She is offered healthy food at home but when she is out of the house she loads up on junk food (raw cookie…

Thank you everyone for your comments and advice. I really appreciate it. You offered new things that I hadn't considered.

Thanks Fabian & Holly. :) I need to schedule her a doctor's appointment for a couple other things so I'll be sure to add that to the list.

I'm in! :smile:

Bump!

Eggs, 1 large egg has approx. 1 g carbs and 6 g protein.

I fell for 1-4. So glad I read some good advice in the forums before damage could be done.

Thanks! Gotta try this!

I tried this recipe for the 1st time this week also! I loved it!

I'm dairy and gluten sensitive. I replace cow milk with almond or coconut milk. I've never used the following site but saw it might work for you: http://www.allergyfreedelights.com/category/allergy-free/

Care to share that recipe? :)

Thanks for sharing these sites!

bump!

It worked! Thanks!!!

Currently Missouri. Hoping to be in Florida in a couple years. :happy:

Hi Bethany! I'm around the same age and pretty new to MFP too. Feel free to add me. :)

OP - Did you happen to get this from a website or pinterest?

That's great!!!

It's so frustrating that we try so hard to lose and yet we gain. Grrr!!!
