My mom built a sandbox for the grandkids out of some plank lumber. You can buy play sand at WalMart , Home Depot or Lowes in the gardening center.

I understand your concern about being chased by dogs. I was chased once walking down my road and a neighbor happened to come by and fend off the dog. If you are a gun owner and have a small pistol I would carry that and walk on your property. I walk on the country road by my house and I only go so far because I know where…

My advice would be to wait till your follow up appointment to talk to the Dr. about your exercise and nutrition plan. Give yourself some time for your body to heal.Continue to take supplements if your doctor has already prescribed them. Have the Dr. check your iron levels. Walking is a good way to get some activity till…

Wow. Incredible heart wrenching story.:brokenheart: I am very glad you shared it with us here. God bless you Ed.:heart:

Go take a walk or some exercise and have a healthy supper. Don't even think about it anymore. Tomorrow will be better. Whatever you do don't weigh yourself for a few days or a week even. I always gain some water weight after a not so healthy meal and you don't need that to ruin your self confidence. YOu have lost 3 pounds…

Well done!:flowerforyou:

Dairy farmer's daughter here! I could not live without my yogurt and cottage cheese. Also like a glass of lowfat milk every now and then. When I was a kid we drank the raw milk straight from the cooling tank. We were the healthiest kids around and the strongest. I started gaining all this weight after I left the…

Welcome to MFP! I like taking long walks too. So I can log exercise and eat an extra snack. :bigsmile:

I know what you mean. Last week while I was out shopping I needed a snack because I had not eaten lunch and it was late. so I grabbed a diet soda and a package of peanut butter crackers. NOt the best choice and not my fave but it used to do for a snack. Well they tasted like putty in my mouth and left a weird film on my…

I had a 6 year old ask me at a birthday party once after looking at my flabby tummy, "lady are you having a baby?" . Errrrr. NOPE! is all I said. Don't let someones comment get you down. You said he seemed nice before so surely he didn't mean to be impolite. People just don't think before they put their foot in their…

I am not a big breakfast eater either. Lately I've gotten into the habit of it but I never eat it very early. Breafast is good for me at 10am and then I can eat a snack at around 2 pm because that is all I want. Seems to work for me fairly well. Supper is my favorite meal and I could go all day without eating , but then i…

Yes! We are all fearfully and wonderfully made. God made our bodies to work for us it is up to us to love ourselves enough to use what he gave us:heart: .He wants us to be healthy and happy. Great post Ed!:flowerforyou:

Thanks for the input everyone. Interesting about the sleep. I don't get enough continuous uninterruped sleep so maybe I should work on that . I know I could drink more water which I have to force myself to do and I 'm not talking extreme amounts just the 6-8 a day. I will probably stay at the 1 lb a week goal until it…

The old saying goes. "you can choose your friends ,but you can't choose your family" Family has the tendency to make us feel awkward or unappriciated at times. Other wise holidays wouldn't be so dreaded :grumble: My friends have always been my positive support group, my family not so much. Just remember that this is your…

Great story! BTW what kinda scale did you end up with. I need to invest in a digital for myself.

I sure did need that pep talk today , Ed :sick: .:cry: Thanks for being such a inspiration to us all.:heart:

Not a school teacher but have taught church nursery and sunday school for years. I would say the lower the grade level the higher the activity level. Give yourself at least the light activity .Hats off to K-2 teachers:flowerforyou: I don't know how Y'all do it everyday. I only do pre -K once a week for an hour and they…

Oh Ed!! That brought tears to my eyes! You have such a loving and Christian heart. The world needs more people with your kindness and compassion for others.You should be an inspirational speaker.

You really can't make anyone do anything they don't WANT to do. My kids are enjoying the food I make because it's not really different. I've always cooked healthy meals. Portion controll and snacking is the key in our house. My husband is gone for his job most of the time so I know his eating habits are terrible. He could…

Well said.:heart:

Everyone I have befriended here has been so supportive. If anyone wants to send me a friend request feel free to do so. The support makes all the difference in the world! Let's help each other stay on our goal for a healthier lifestyle.:flowerforyou:

That totally made me think of the band Panic At The Disco.lol PanicAtTheBuffet is so funny!:laugh:

That being said so I am not misunderstood.. If you want to have a cheat once a week or so it is ok. as long as you don't do it every day.makes the changes seem more bearable and makes you less likely to give up altogether. I personally do not feel right about checking out other peoples food diaries unless they are asking…

I really want to try the mousse temptations. 60 for a chocolate fix?:bigsmile: oh yeah , I'm there!

You are so right. If you eat 1500 calories worth of pizza every day you may be within your calories but it is not a healthy choice. I think most people get that but some may not.

I have been doing this for almost 3 weeks and have not weighed in but once. My clothes are fitting better and I feel more energetic. I hate the scale because it is such a let down if you gain water weight it can fluctuate daily. The scale can become a daily obsession and is just setting yourself up for feelings of failure…

Confuse A Cat is the name of a Monty Python skit about a couple with a poor kitty who sits in the yard all day and does nothing looking depressed. They are adivised by the vet to use a service call Confuse a Cat to get her out of her depression. Very funny and I am a huge Python fan. Now go away before I taunt you a second…

Remember to drink plenty of water and get some exercise that gets your feet moving like dance,walking or running. Walking ,water and fruits and veg are better than powdered fiber IMHO. If it happens very often I would ask your doctor.
