Not that I am into conspiracies but I truly believe that many of the "junk foods" that people eat are modified in a way to be more addictive. I do believe that the less processed food is the better it is for you. That said I have to be very careful when donuts are around because I just can't resist them. Isn't that just…

tried these for Super bowl Sunday but they didn't cook in the 30 minutes. Next time I will test them before I take them out. They still tasted way yummy. I did the cherry ones using the Lite pie filling.

Well after 3 weeks of stuttering and starting I am down a hard 7 pounds. I had a hysterectomy about 2 years ago and have been trying to get the weight off that just poured on. The hormone imbalance from the surgery has played havoc with my ability to lose the weight. I am researching this and believe that the drug…

I finally figured it out but forgot I posted this. lol

OK, Both my daughter and daughter-in-law have PCOS. First, find a Dr that will listen to you. Second talk to them about Metformin. This is a proven treatment for PCOS related weight issues. With PCOS all your hormones are out of wack. This also includes your insulin. Find a Dr that specializes in PCOS and talk to them…

Has anyone used Red Yeast Rice capsules for their Cholesterol? I am thinking about trying them and would love some input.

I take my extras to the family down the street! Great for neighbor relations. :)

Going to try it tomorrow after a quick trip to the store! I think I will bring these to the super bowl party. That way I can eat a treat and not feel guilty!

Starting to see results!

Burnt toast has activated charcoal. This sometimes helps with settling the stomach. If it has been 53 hours start eating. Start with liquids and then add the toast or other light things.

Awesome! You look great, keep going. Remember the end result is health! :)

So you got food poisoning and now you can't keep anything down? I am not sure I understand the question. Food poisoning (in most cases) has to work it's way out. When it is over, rehydrate and ask your Dr. about h-pylori. This is sometimes present after food poisoning.

chevy88grl, I also have the back issues. I had that disc removed. I still have the tingling. Same thing, shoes, slippers, flipflops and even bare feet. (which by the way is not comfortable on my elliptical). It is a nerve issue that is different for different people. I just try to ignore it and push on. I change the…

Again, I fight acid reflux so late night eating has a consequence attached to it. As far as using the clock, that is what helps me stay in my calorie count. And even if you are on grave yard shifts you still have a cycle of eating that is similar to daytime workers. It is all a matter of perspective. I choose not to eat…

I fight acid reflux. Do you have any problems with that when you have you protein drink at night?

Rayman79, I know eating late doesn't make you fat. If your metabolism is running good and you have good muscle mass you can eat anything anytime. I know for me it is a matter of numbers. Calories in = Calories burned. If you take in more than you burn then you store it as fat. So for some of us using a cut off time helps…

I have to stop eating at 7pm. Any later and I tend to eat a whole other meal. But when I am so hungry my stomach hurts is sit down with a bag of ice cold celery ( I happen to like it) and stuff my face with it till I don't want to eat any more. I don't eat celery any other time so it works for me. I am not tired of it.…

How did you get the Ticker to show up? It says to copy paste the code but it doesn't say where to put it. I know it sounds stupid but do they mean copy paste it every time you post something?

The Mojave Desert, Southern California, USA!

Sounds like a great goal! I would like to lose that much by then too just to get part of the weight off and feel like I am getting somewhere. Saw a picture of myself at my daughter's wedding last week and feel like a hippo! So March it is...I did good today. We shall see how tomorrow goes. Trying not to eat anything after…

The one I am using now is: 1/2c canned pumpkin, 1 medium frozen banana, 1/2c Greek yogurt, 2Tbls Almond Butter, 1Tbls Truvia, 1/2c fat free milk. Blend and enjoy! Fiber and protein.

I skin mine and then freeze them. Add one frozen banana, 2 tbl blueberries, 1 cup non fat milk, sweetener ( I use Truvia) and blend. Makes a great ice cream like smoothie.

I am 6 feet tall and at 183 I felt fat. Mostly because I couldn't fit into clothes off the rack like I wanted to. I know I can't weight what the BMI says. I got down to 155 before and I looked like a druggy. My husband hated it and people started asking me why I was still trying to lose weight. The numbers are for the…

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will stock up on some of them! :)

I get it too. Started wearing flipflops and it doesn't happen. I do it in my fuzzy slippers too!

Crockingirls.com and crockpotguys.com have endless suggestions.

I thought we weren't supposed to put adds here or try to sell stuff.
