  • You've given yourself a gift of more birthdays! Congratulations and you go girl!:smile:
  • 7+ years ago I weighed 240 lbs, had type 2 diabetes, IBS, eczema, plantar fasciitis, depression, menopausal symptoms. I tried everything to lose weight. Nothing helped. I just got sicker and sucker. my true body age was 67. I did a 21-day cleanse (detox) program using food and whole food cleansing supplements. The first…
  • Yes, any treatment not done properly will cause problems, which is why I said to be sure and go to someone who is certified and affiliated with i-act and uses the hyrosan. I drink about 32 ounces of freshly extracted veggie juice and a dehydrated green drink and take a ton of probiotics daily so there is not a problem w/…
  • Love this!
  • Dr. Mercola, a world reknowned physician who focuses on healing not managing disease wrote a book about Splenda, check out this article and short video http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/06/20/absurd-new-ways-splenda-is-deceiving-you.aspx . Then get your self some plain old sweet leaf stevia, not…
  • Great idea! It definitely is rewarding to see after. I find if I just put my tennis shoes on my body remembers how great I felt the last time I wore them and I can quickly get out of my jammies and hit the trail!
  • First of all, good job on losing 48 pounds! Second, maybe she just wants to be heard. Usually food is the "wife job" and you eating something different and actually becoming healthy may be somewhat of an insult to her, without her even knowing it. Think about what she said, see if there is ANYTHING you can validate and let…
  • Feel free to add me to your friends list, I will be praying for comfort, wisdom and strength!
  • Hi Izzy, I would be happy to look at it with you. We have to become friends and then you go to your settings and push the allow friends to see your diary or some button like that. I make cookies for my hubby every week as he travels for 5 days out of the week. I want him to have my healthy cookies rather than the…
  • Thank you for asking, I had no idea! True it is the best kind of victory!
  • Broken things get fixed! Broken is the best place to be because we realize we can't do it alone. Do you watch episodes of biggest loser or extreme makeover weight loss edition? They are encouraging because you see the real struggle (esp extreme makeover weight loss). The one step at a time sounds trite, but it is how any…
  • I coach people through a 28 day detox, try 7 days completely raw and then if you need to add 25% of your food cooked. Or you could do a 5 day raw and 2 day cooked, also juicing really helps to get a large portion of raw fruits and veggies (do mostly veggies) and is extremely healing and cleansing. If your work out seems to…
  • Go for as close to nature as possible, then all the sodium and carbs you get will be useable by the body rather than stored! That means, as close to how it came off the plant or out of the animal.
  • Great Job! You look fantastic!
  • Congratulations on your success! A quick way to drop those last 10 pounds is to do a detox; eat only raw fruits and veggies, protein shake and no processed foods, you will drop it quickly and your diabetes and cholesterol will do amazing things! I completely eliminated type 2 Diabetes in 21 days on a detox 6 years ago, a…
  • This is from Dr. Mercola about MIO Here is the ingredient list for the Mango Peach variety of MiO: Water, Malic Acid, Propylene Glycol, Citric Acid, "natural flavor," Sucralose, Acesulfame potassium, Potassium citrate, Polysorbate 60, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Red 40, Potassium Sorbate (preservative). Basically, this is a scary…
  • In short, all artificial sweeteners and MSG are in a category of chemicals called "Neuro toxins and Excito toxins". Essentially they cause your brain cells to become over active and die. Many people develop neuroligical symptoms from these toxic chemicals. They are dangerous to your health. Stevia is a natural product that…
  • The body's response to toxins is elimination, it was just doing it's job. Go back to what you were eating and you will always feel great and lose weight!
  • I like Jay Robb Whey, there are several flavors, I like the unsweetened one, the others are too sweet. There is no sugar and no artificial sweeteners. The protein is sweetened with Stevia. Be sure and choose one with no artificial sweeteners, they are neurotoxins, make your brain cells perish shortly after you eat it! Also…
  • The thyroid and adrenal gland work together in harmony, if one is off the other will not work properly. Most MD's don't check adrenal function because they are trained to just check one body part at a time. Find a good wellness chiropractor or doctor and have them check your organ function, they can recommend a good…
  • Don't despair! If you put on that weight that fast it is inflammation; get back on track and it will drop quickly. Some of us get our eating cues from others. If we are with someone who is eating then we eat; many times we do that in other areas of life, follow what we see, kind of like monkeys, LOL! Start to be aware of…
  • From cute to cool! Congrats!
  • Welcome May, it's a new day...no looking back only ahead, when you look back you run into things, lol!
  • Awesome, congratulations!
  • Speaking from 36 years of wedded bliss, the time to let him know that hurt you and made you mad is now. It is important to speak the truth in love. You will carry this resentment if you don't address it. First of all, you have to CHOOSE to forgive him, "I choose to forgive (his name) for (what he did) and release him from…
  • At least you are too skinny, I've lost 76 pounds and someone asked me yesterday when my baby was due! Ha! I had on a "peasant top". I think next time I'll say tomorrow and then they will say, wow you aren't very big.....reverse psychology!
  • I used to be the same way but have been regular for 6 years now, 3 times a day baby! My rule is only fruit and water in the morning until I have a bowel movement. The first couple of days I did this I only had fruit until about 3 pm, then finally it began happening by noon and now I go right when I get up. Also....drink 32…
  • I have written out my "intentions" regarding food so my mind and heart are clear about what I really want to eat, no more drive by eating and grazing. There is nothing in my house that does not match my intention. I've already decided what I will eat when I go out to a restaurant, go to someone's home for dinner or snacks…
