Saute onion in olive oil, add garlic, and tuna, basil, and diced (fresh only) tomato, add a little parmesan, and use it to top whole wheat pasta, or ribbons of lightly steamed zucchini. Delish!

I don't have thyroid problems, but I have been battling depression for over 25 years. I have been on prozac, wellbutrin, and effexor. Then I turned 40, and I decided that I had had enough. Now, I an 41, not on any antidepressants, and started this new journey. Maybe I need to be on meds, but for now, I feel pretty good,…

I would have to agree, I do not want my boss as a "friend". She sent me a friend request on FB, and I ignored, I did not feel I had to explain to her, until one day she asked, I told her that to me, that was my time to vent, and that I felt there should be a professional separation as it were. Surprisingly, she understood.

Could be a stricture, go to the Dr.

My family is very rural and most of my uncles owned farms, and most of my cousins and my dad were all in 4H, so as it happens one of my cousins had to raise a cow as a 4H project, she named him Billy, one night at dinner, my cousin asked her mother, "Mama is this Billy?" Needless to say my grandparents got a freezer full…

I weigh on Saturday nights at work. Since I work in a nursing home, we have Dr office type scales.

OMG! So much fun! If I had known, I would have started a long time ago! I couldn't keep up with the instructor, but did all th exercises. I lasted the whole hour! Now, how do I figure the calories?

Great, thanks for the info and support y'all! I'm kinda nervous too, first class jitters, and I don't want to be stared at, I have a lot of flab between my legs, but that's where I lose first, and even though my ticker says 6 pounds, I lost 30 before joining MFP. Anyway, i'm rambling, better get to the pool. ;-)

Have you tried water aerobics? That way you can work your legs without the impact. I am going to my first class today, I'll let you know how it goes!

In what way do they concern you?

No, just done with the required intake of water for the day, I will continue to drink water today, but I am finished with what is required to keep from the near constant state of dehydration most people live in daily.

Ok folks, if you drank up 16 ounces each time I said to drink up, then after this time you will have had 8-8ounce servings. You've done great, now drink up, I'm done!

Sorry, I like to really gulp it down! I'll back off to hourly. I've already had 48 ounces today. Doing great though!

Come on! Do it again! Time for another water break!!! Oops, double post, but what the heck, drink up!

Come on! Do it again! Time for another water break!!!

I crack up over the sister everytime! That show is too funny!

Yep, that time again! Come on you can do it!

I've been on metformin for 10+ years, still have the GI issues! But gotta take it for my diabetes, none of the other oral anti-diabetics works as well for me.

Soulcysters.com all lower case is an excellent site for pcos questions and answers. Check them out before going to your Dr.

I get it! People look at me funny when I tell them I'm trying to lose 40 pounds. Sure I could say my goal is 100+, but 40 seems more doable for me, it is too easy to get overwhelmed and give up before even starting. Seems like your coworker is not getting the validation that she craves. She sees you getting to your goal…

Well, that makes sense, I was thinking it was like your giving a fist bump. Like a congratulatory thing.

That is truly awesome!

I like all kinds of music, aerosmith, black-eyed peas, lady antebellum. But what gets me on my feet 3 songs, Boom Boom Pow- Black Eyed Peas, Days of Elijah-Robin Mark, and You're The Lion of Judah-Robin Mark.

Sam is in my profile pic, he is a 1 year old daschound (I think that's how its spelled?) And he is our baby, completely spoiled rotten!

My bff is a clinical dietition, she says that corn, beans, peas, and squash are all considered starch, and therefore should take up no more than 1/4 of your meal.

Artificial sweetners are poison! I prefer to use turbinado sugar, it is not highly processed, but it is still sugar. It is not as bad for you as artificial sweetners. Aside from that, my husband has PKU, which means that most artificial sweetners cause mental retardation, and I love him too much for that. So to me if I…

2 words keep me from taking it: ANAL LEAKAGE!!!!!

Where on your foot is the blister at? If it pops, NewSkin will burn really bad, super glue will work, and it will not burn. But a couple of good ideas are first new shoes every 3 months, if that isn't feasible, there is a product I think you can get it at Walmart called moleskin it has a soft chamois like side, and the…

I found this on gardener.com, hope it helps! I have the book, "Folk Medicine" by Dr. D.C. Jarvis. He is from Barre, Vermont. The book that I have is old. So, he could be dead now. He talks about using 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and 2 teaspoons of honey to a glass of water (sipping on this drink throughout the…

Mix it with organic honey. You should be able to find the right amounts somewhere online.
