Hot sauce. I get it from a local store and they get it from Mexico. It has lime in it...and says it is zero calories. LOL the way I eat it it probably has calories.

Wheat, eggs, dairy, garlic, almonds. They each make me very ill and I've not eaten them in 12+ years. (Minus a small small amount of cheese a few times a year - I have a much more mild reaction to that. The wheat makes me very ill for about 10 days. LOL How many people do you know who've had a nightmare about eating a…

Gorgeous eyes!

No, no, no. I hereby promise myself I will not get sucked into a long debate with regarding this. I don't have the time to track down refutes for all the misinformation. (sorry) But I will post one link. http://www.ncahf.org/articles/o-r/robbins.html (Sorry, I have a dear elderly family member who falls for every pitch she…

I like the taste of it...but if burning fat were that easy everyone would be slim and the price of lemons would be through the roof.

LOL, perhaps you would share the disdain if you had ever ran a number of miles with those "gems" as a part of your body.:laugh:

That is awesome! What a great family outing.

Or try beans and rice rolled up in a heated corn tortilla. This is an absolute staple in our household.

Yippeee. Very nicely done.

What a combo, blond and brown. Very cute.

I am so glad you are okay. Be careful!

Hi I was a vegetarian for 20 plus years. I now eat meat occasionally, high quality stuff. Here are some links. Good luck with your competition. http://ksteveh.tripod.com/protein.html which I found in this site (the dude looks pretty muscular to me...without the help of meat protein.):laugh:…

I love rats. You are so right that they are like little dogs (but they don't bark)! I had two when I was in HS. They were so smart. They stayed in their cage all day when I was gone. Then I'd play with them. When I went to bed they were put away....then I'd wake up in the morning with them curled up in my bed asleep on my…

Are you allowed a crock pot? Even a small one? There are sooo many options if you are. Also, check this out and modify the tips to be healthy for your goals. http://education.yahoo.com/college/essentials/articles/college/dorm_room_cooking.html…

The other advice has been great. You have a blender.... bananas yogurt or soy milk or juice frozen fruit (pineapple, berries, mango) nut butter (optional) Your own, portion controlled smoothies. Far less calories than jamba juice or other similar product.

Ohhh, so sorry. What a bummer. I'm glad you are feeling better. I:heart: dark chocolate.

Ugh - I found a style a few years ago at victorias secret that was terrific for running in...and they discontinued it. I'm made do with those as they are soooos supportive. Good luck in your search. I'll be searching again soon. When I look I start with a search of fitness and running sites for their reviews of brands and…

(happy dance):flowerforyou:

I admit to doing that occasionally - something occurs to me and I'll change direction. I don't do this on a sidewalk or mall, but at home or work.:sad: Don't be mad Tam. My brain gives the orders and my body jumps.

Whoooo hooo:wink: keep up the great work. :flowerforyou:

Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmy. I love gazpacho!

Laura Neither of my children nor I drink milk - My son has a terrible allergy, my daughter mild, and she can have the occasional yogurt, and me...well it just makes me feel terrible but once in a while I succumb to a piece of cheese. We supplement the nutrients in other ways. For instance I always buy the fortified version…

Smile genuinely, give a non committal answer, and ignore what she's saying. Move on. Example non committal answers: really? wow, interesting, hmmmm, fine, okay, I'll look into that....and many more.:laugh:

I don't have a perfect solution but here goes: Cheap, home made exercise equipment. jump rope step (buy super cheap at a thrift store, make your own?) look on craigslist and freecycle and your local papers for cheap weights, etc.

You both made it through!!! Whew! Oh happy day!

I have food allergies, so I can't really eat at these events. I eat just before I go, drink lots of water, and look for foods that are ok for me. Perhaps for the day you could pretend (to yourself) you have a food allergy and avoid certain foods (i.e. all foods with dairy in them or ...) Otherwise, just eat reasonable…

posted twice?? I'm just deleting a double post.:smile:

I don't use artificial sweeteners. I don't give them to my children. I don't like the taste and I figure the closer to natural foods my family eats the healthier we will all be in the long run. We don't use very much sugar either. We use honey for most sweetening purposes (in place of syrup on waffles, on breakfast…
