I eat pescatarian. I don't care about vegetarian "beliefs", as you called them; I simply don't like the taste of 'turf' meat. I love 'surf' though! For lunch, I eat tilapia with pasta & veggies. (It's a Lean Cuisine, I must admit.) I love tuna melts (open faced, half the bread that way). Fish fillets are pretty tasty.…

My heart goes out to you in this terrible time. :brokenheart: During periods of emotional binging, my therapist gave me simple advice, when I told her I simply wasn't at a point I could control it. She said: If you are going to binge, do it on healthy food. Carrots, grapes, celery. I did it. I binged on grapes. I must have…

Ooooh honey, this is my favorite topic to advise other women on!!!!! In high school, I was thin with a C. By freshman year of college, I was a D. By sophomore year, I was a DD. After that.... I was well beyond a DDD. It was HORRIBLE. I had a breast reduction about 3 years ago. BEST DECISION I EVER MADE. Ever. The hardest…

My stretch marks are my badge of honor for being a mom :smile: Being a mom requires sacrifice, dedication and unending love. It deserves a badge of honor :smile: I show mine with pride!!!! (and they are horrific!!! :laugh:)

Yay!

Thanks BQ! Love you and miss you tooooooo!!!

Ah-ha. I see a few other recommendations for Miralax. If you wanted to try more natural ways, I'd still suggest Miralax first, simply to clean you out NOW. Take a day this weekend and FLUSH your body out. My pediatrician told me to give my daughter twice the regular dose size three times daily (over a weekend) in order to…

Miralax. It can be bought over the counter but force your doctor to write you a script. OTC is expensive. The massive bottle with a script is relatively cheap. I get the big bottle for my daughter. Lasts about 3 months and my copay is a mere $10. My daughter has experienced chronic bowel issues since birth. The worst was…

since this is a 'one day only' sale item, I'm going to try to bump repeatedly during the day

To see pictures of me, no one believes that I am still in the higher range of the unhealthy BMI, barely out of the obese categories. My gut reaction was to tell her that she didn't look like she needed to lose any weight too, but I refrained because looks can be deceiving. At the fair, I always win a prize from the "guess…

I was going to comment to say the very same thing!!!! You are GORGEOUS! While this is very easily the start of an eating disorder, by recognizing it and admitting it and talking about it here, I think you can fight it off yourself.... for right now. You are strong. Fight that urge. FIGHT IT HARD. If you see you can't seem…

I shop Woot frequently and have never once had a problem with their items or shipping. They are very upfront with details and have ample information so you can research elsewhere (like on Amazon, like Oscelyn said). I'm thinking this scale will tell you the calories in the food based upon the amount of food on the scale.…

I disagree. Every one needs downtime to unwind. While watching tv, walk on a treadmill. Can't afford a treadmill, like me? :wink: Walk in place. Start small. Do it during commercials. Bored walking in place? Do side bends. Jumping jacks. Dance like Ellen DeGeneres. Anything to move :smile: YOU CAN DO THIS!

I have a similar schedule. Make YOURSELF a priority. For me, this means eating at my desk and taking my lunch hour to exercise. I'm blessed with a gym in my building. I can fit in a 30 minute cardio, still shower and get back to my desk in time. And that midday exercise gives me ENERGY in the afternoon and the evenings!!!…

How are your clothes fitting? Possibly you are losing fat but gaining a slight bit of muscle. When I work out, my muscles also retain water, making me weigh just a smidge more right after my workout. Are you logging your calories? Are you measuring your food? Sometimes I catch myself eating two cups of a food and…

Hi Lula :flowerforyou: I'm back.... ish :wink: . The divorce is final, custody is final. Life is settling in. Our asset settlement is still incomplete and he gave away all of my things (our marital assets) because he had to marry his preggo girlfriend and move her into our house (because he still hasn't refinanced it).…

Bumping!!! I'm primarily pescatarian. I want to try the South Beach diet to get rid of excess/bad carbs but that is a tough diet to pull off without being a meat eater. I need fish recipes!!! (and the guts to try them out! :laugh:)

Welcome, welcome, welcome!!! :smile:

hi!! welcome! congrats on the loss so far!

bump

Jennifer, my ex cheated when Kiddo was 6 months old. It was awful. Do what is best for you and your child, whether that means staying or leaving. Follow your heart and take all the time in the world to make whatever decision makes you feel the most comfortable. :heart: Much love, sweetie.

Brasslady, good job with changing your thinking about the treadmill!!! Even 3 different 10 minute segments makes that 30 minutes a day!! JMiller, the soul needs a good girls weekend. Guaranteed it won't ruin your progress as long as you get back to your regularly scheduled programming :wink: Finnhead, maybe try Netflix or…

yep :smile:

I'd mistakenly replied on last week's thread. Copy and pasting here :smile: bump so I can stalk, time permitting :heart: Update: my "scar tissue" keeping me from working out was actually endometriosis, which explained a lot more of the pain to my doc. Removed successfully. About a 4-5" incision on the c-section line I…

bump so I can stalk, time permitting :heart: Update: my "scar tissue" keeping me from working out was actually endometriosis, which explained a lot more of the pain to my doc. Removed successfully. About a 4-5" incision on the c-section line I already had. Surgery was 2/14 and I'm healing, just slowly. No big deal. LOVE MY…

Hi ladies!! *waves* I wasn't in last time, won't be in this time. But it makes my heart glow to come back to the boards and always see my encouraging Sixers rolling along!!! You guys are the best!!!! Hugs all around!!! *muah*

Buckeyes - the tattoo thing? EDIT: and why would you sell your Championship ring?????

Fill me in and here's my team, which you will love :heart: GO APPS!! Appalachian State Mountaineers!
