Thanks for all the info! Was dreading the thought of having to go slow on the machine. I've always hated the fact that when I check my heart rate I am in the red zone as if I am doing something wrong-I always knew I was in the anaerobic zone but now that I have a better understanding of it bring on the RED! My weight loss…

Interesting info. When I stay in the low range of the cardiovascular spectrum for my age I don't break a sweat nor do I breathe hard so I find myself in the red zone for most of my workout on the eliptical. I like to be drenched in sweat when I am done. Look forward to reading more and reevaluating my cardio workout as I…

It's my favorite. I've tried all the rest and I always go back to Fage. My favorite way to eat it is with fresh berries ( raspberries, blueberries, boysenberries and strawberries in particular ) with a sprinkling of raw brown sugar over the top (1/4 of a teaspoon at the most). I use it to replace sour cream too.

I don't think Conda has ever drawn a vote the entire season despite the fact that she has fallen short both in losing weight and embracing a healthy lifestyle physically or behaviorally. The other contestants apparently fear drawing her ire towards themselves. She is the epitome of a bully and now that she has joined…

PS-I am a sucker for romantic stories. Thanks to the OP for coming up with the topic and for everyone who shared their love story!

I met my husband when I was 16- he had already graduated from high school. We met on the basketball court, he was interested I wasn't-I was waiting to find a guy when I was in college. So he stuck around and became my best friend- we had (and still have!) so many similar interests. When I went away on a family vacation my…

Very informative read! Thanks for posting...

I am 6`and my husband is 6`8". I danced with a short guy in junior high, a slow dance, and his face was in my chest, I was mortified, that song seemed to last for an eternity. I never looked at a short guy again after that experience. Plus my Dad is 6`10" and I wanted someone tall like him!

Happened to read this article this morning critquing Forks Over Knives. http://rawfoodsos.com/2011/09/22/forks-over-knives-is-the-science-legit-a-review-and-critique/

I am 6 foot and rarely come across another woman that is as tall as me. Just the other day while walking down the street a woman at least as tall as I walked by and I tried to make eye contact, wave and smile but she paid no attention to me. Funny how I felt sad! I thought we had something in common, the tall sisterhood…

I eat the yolks and I eat eggs often-I have 20 hens! Had my blood analyzed a few years ago and I was told that I have text book perfect cholesterol levels. I tried to eat omelets without the yolks at the beginning of my mfp journey to save the calories but it just wasn`t worth it to me as the taste was so compromised…

I suffered with hyperemisis gravidium with all three of my pregnancies. I found what worked best for me after the first trimester (nothing worked during the first, even zofran,etc.) is to eat many small meals throughout the day basically never letting your tummy get empty. I found that a diet that is similar to the second…

So sleepy that I would fall asleep on the commute (was carpooling and not driving ;) into work after a good night's sleep. The worst though was the nausea and smells. Was tossing my cookies for three months straight at least 10 times a day (all this began about two weeks before my TOM was due.)
-
We have our own chickens and their eggs are the best! Last week I needed extra for baking-my hens are slowing down for the winter-so I bought regular white store eggs. I was so disgusted. The yolks were a pale yellow and the taste was blah.. So this week I bought "organic" at the local Nature's Grocers food store and the…

I don't think anyone can top this one... The worse thing I've ever seen was when at the grocery store a man blew his nose into his bare HAND then wiped it on the back of his jeans. When he walked by I looked at the back of his pants. FYI-when snot dries it kind of looks like a shiny snail trail. Needless to say he'd been…

I wanted to know the same thing!

Eddie Bauer, my favorite, carries tall sizes. (Check out the outlet section you can get great deals especially off season-ie when their spring line comes out you can get all the winter pants for a steal.) Other brands that I know of that carry tall sizes is TallGirl (I have one black pair that pool on the floor-love…

6' and love it! My husband is 6'8". My Dad's 6'10". We have three sons. Can't wait to see how tall they get. They are 7, 11, and 13. Two of them have always been way over the 100th percentile. One is of average height. Oh and the heels? Love them. Chunky, wedges-not so much skinny heels though...
-
I breast fed my three until they were two! Miss those days... Anyway, when breast feeding I believe the average is an extra 500 calories per day. You may want to do a search as I've seen this topic come up before and some great conversations ensue. Good luck!

Glad to meet you all! I will be turning 41 in January and have 5 children. Our oldest two are adopted and are currently 15-boy and 20-girl (we adopted them at 3 and 8). Our natural born boys are 7, 11, and 13. I've gained weight steadily starting in college and got to my heaviest weight after my second son. My husband's…

If it is causing you so much anxiety I would seek out professional help as it is making you miserable. It sounds like you have the actual eating process under control but your mind is driving you crazy. The mind is a very powerful thing! Good luck to you-I hope you can find someone to help you find peace of mind.

Cupboard. It has a very long shelf life! I buy large quantities when I go to a Trader Joes (the nearest is 3 hours away) to bake with. (Cakes, chocolate mousse and souffles, cookies, brownies, hot cocoa etc.) I buy dark Belgian chocolate however. I can't say for the lighter varieties but I imagine it would be the same. If…

FINALLY they got some in yesterday! I bought 6 cans!!! (Prior to yesterday I had asked at 3 locations as I was hoping they had it somewhere else and all were out! And your right, one store has it with the pie fillings and the other with canned goods.)
-
None of my local stores have had pureed pumpkin only the pie mix. I've been looking for about two weeks now! I got a fresh pumpkin finally and steamed it and pureed the flesh myself yesterday!
-
Thanks! Can't wait to start using pumpkin this fall!
-
Just made this! Very good-thanks for the recipe!

I make a cheese melt with the high fiber Thomas English muffins (100 calories!) with a slice of skim mozzarella, a slice of tomato (or not!) and a slice of deli meat. I like turkey pastrami.
