Swimming, water aerobics.

It depends on if it is something you want to follow for the rest of your life. It isn't meant to be a short tern weight loss diet, just a way of eating. I eat mostly paleo because I have gluten intolerance, although after 6 months of following it I have added back in a few more foods that aren't paleo (hummus, gluten free…

I don't totally understand your post, about the hotel thing. But, it sounds like he is quite a bit older than you and rather controlling. And I also wonder what kind of boss makes you work that much, 12 hrs a day, 7 days a week, with 1 day off every 5 weeks. What kind of business is this? If I were you I'd go to college,…

Thanks for sharing, I recently closed my diary as well. Too much pressure. Best of luck to you.

This is not true at all. And yes, you need to go 100% gluten free or it's a waste of time. As the others have said try it for 30 days and then eat something with gluten to see if you can tell the difference. I am not celiac but gluten affects me in the form of a really itchy rash all over my legs. Yes, I have "tested" a…

Eat the soup. If you are worried about going over calories, go for a walk to burn some off after dinner.

I'd probably just make an a-hole comment like, "Wow, glad my kids don't act like that." Maybe grandma would get the hint.

Ditto, she gets better with age.

I would not have bought real estate.

If it stays up for more than a week or 2 then yes I log it. I give myself a chance to get back down there again first. If I can't get down to my low after awhile, I go ahead and log the higher weight and keep on going.

Log everything! I actually just made my diary private because I started not entering stuff that was "bad." Now it's private, and if I drink 1000 calories of alcohol one night I log it and try not to do it very often. But I gotta log it to see how I am doing. It's too easy to try to say it doesn't count if I didn't log it.…

I have the same problem as you. When I run my breathing is fine, I could carry on a conversation, but my legs kill me. I carry more weight in my lower half as well. My ankle, my thighs. I think it has got to be my shoes. I am saving up so I can go get fitted for a proper pair of running shoes. Right now I wear the Nike…

I love it, eat it all the time. I usually get Jack Links because that's what I can find. I sometimes get the good stuff from the grass fed beef people at the farmers market. I just bought a bunch today because that's what my first grader wants to take to school for her snack.

L'oreal Visible Lift. My skin is slightly oily. I don't use powder.

telephonophobia or telephobia I hate talking on the phone, especially if I have to make the call. Thank god for email and texting.

That's just....weird.

I tried on some clothes today and I think all my clothes actually fit me now. I did find a random pair of pre-kids size 8 shorts though. I guess it'd be nice to fit in to those again some day.

I think it depends on your body. I can't eat it - gluten. I have been eating paleo/primal and try to avoid all grains. I did just eat tacos for dinner with gluten free corn shells and I feel really sick. I think my body rejects them now.

Go Lions!

Put some lemon juice and seasonings on it and throw it in the microwave in a covered dish for a few minutes.

There are several Paleo/Primal groups on here, join those, you can probably get better advice without the negative comments.

Yeah, try Primal, rather than Paleo. Not as restrictive, you can have dairy. I make protein shakes with almond milk. If you need calories, try snacking on nuts - macadamias, almonds. There are tons of paleo/primal blogs with lots of recipes on them, stuff you would never think to eat, but they are good. If you get bored,…

I have larger calves too. No matter what weight I am, they are disproportionately large. Nothing I can do about it, thankfully my husband likes shapely legs. Can't wear tall boots either though.

My favorite is anything outdoors - walking, hiking, biking, tennis. Least favorite - machines inside - treadmill or spinning I don't mind classes indoors, but running or peddling on a machine inside going nowhere drives me nuts. I run the track inside in the winter, at least I'm going somewhere.

Yeah, me too. If my face isn't bright red and burning hot I must not have worked out hard enough. And it takes forever to go back to normal color, like hours, even after I shower.

Walked 5 miles this morning. Would have gone longer, but my dog crapped out on me, he went and layed down in the shade and wouldn't walk anymore, so we had to head home.
