Especially where genetics play the largest role in disease, how bad really is sodium (sea salt) in one's diet for someone on meds to control blood pressure? (at my healthiest weight and target BMI I was and continue to take serious BP meds) My doc said it's hands down genetics in my instance, but they never ask about my…

love my breakfast.... Coffee Almonds protein mix (w/yogurt) before (mid-morning) and after an intense workout :)

A page right out of my book : I'm a semi-retired teacher, a mom of 3 w/ two teen-aged kids still at home, a grandma of three, and I am a wife to an amazing man I call my best friend :) I would love new friends wanting to enjoy the journey (too)...Add me anyone :happy: My stats: 150 lbs 5'4' love salty/crunchy, never met a…

I only read if I have time to burn AFTER a serious workout (the kids want to hit the pool or I have half hour until I pick up someone from somewhere), otherwise I'm like so many who only get a half@ss burn....

wow...exactly the same here :p yum

ditto...love ppl who put it out there

Coming from a diabetes-plagued family, I can honestly tell you that it's NOT about the exercise.....intake is 99% the culprit. Leg-lifts, weight lifting, even chair cardio will not do a fraction of the benefits that low(er) carb, no fast-food/cokes can produce. I see it everyday....prayers out to you and your hubs. Such a…

Check back later... it's wild to see the crap some ppl cling to generation after generation.... and they are proud...go figure. COLOR IS BEAUTIFUL

yeap... they may seem to weigh the same, but they look and feel drastically different.

I would choose between the two evils :p steak or soup....not both. go some place else if it's just too tempting perhaps can you order a child's plate of steak (tips) & a cup of soup?? you're doing great ... checking with yourself before plunging in :)

Don't worry...unless your child is obese or under-nourished. They really need all those calories to sustain....Americans get too much fat and protein over-all, so make up snacks that help in the veggie and protein... peanut butter on celery or yogurt with fresh fruit should make up for it perfectly.

Science has always been my go-to for great interactive LPs and enrichment activities, tho :) http://www.uen.org/Lessonplan/LPview.cgi?core=1217 The Water Cycle is pretty awesome....

With the elections coming up, I would especially focus on Government/Elections/Presidents...etc. check out these lessons plans and the theme is practically handed to you...good LP hunting :) http://www.discoveryeducation.com/teachers/free-lesson-plans/understanding-government.cfm…

My daughter attended 11 different schools in 15 years ........... she graduates CS degree this semester. (Master's 12 in 16yrs...?) I feel terribly guilty for it.... & .... incredibly proud of her. Her daddy is Mensa, but I'm sure-the-hell-not.

When I was 10 years old I swam out to help save my best friend from drowning but was pulled under in the panic. They got her to safety and eventually fished me out as I watched on... I am a lucid dreamer and that helps me get the hell out of my nightmares… I also dream in color. My earliest childhood memories go back to…

Yeah...I often lose steam just before the deadline, too. Maybe move your deadline out a couple more weeks :laugh: a hobby really is a good idea....something that keeps your mind busy and makes it difficult to munch along with.

Cheese...that's the love of my life :love: :noway:

Awww...nice, but someone should convert those to lady references :laugh: sport stuff for the men ... pretty cool anyhow :bigsmile:

I've completely cut out certain foods from my daily intake ie. breads, tortillas, pastry, rice, most pastas (and red meat), so I don't have to think low-carb. Now I'm much more focused on low(er) fat. After reading my comment, it sounds pretty crazy....but it's similar to the comment below in that I twek the carbs 'til…

beautiful!

what usu works for me: rest day up my protein/fiber up my weights and yeap, a complete blow-out meal :p

2 bits of advice: up your protein....gotta fuel your weight-loss get some significant weights in twice a week....bodypump

protein is the only cravings-cruncher that gets me to the no-snacking zone try some Morning Star veggie sausage on a personal note, fruit makes me hungrier...the sugars, i guess

STAY AWAY FROM THE CAFETERIA :noway: I kept a small fridge in my classroom and easy meals in a drawer....mostly I never walked out my door without my water and an apple :tongue:

every other day or 3...never more than that 1st thing in the a.m.

been here for a while...still love it helps me keep in check and is that little nudge to move my @ss everyday :laugh:

veggies sausage is fantastic (Morning Star) on whole wheat toast & egg whites....load it up :p

this morning I my two favorite workouts at the gym...Hip Hop Hustle & Turbo Fire :love: 45 minutes each

first thing...yeap I have much more energy. Make certain to really hydrate well even before (thru the night your body has been fasting), so fuel your workout a good hour before hitting the gym :)

when illiterates use "then" when they really mean "than" #1 I've already eaten ALL my allotted calories for the day, but man was it fabulous!
