I have been in the ER many times and have suffered from dehydration and heat stroke several times. Once I thought I had the flu and when my roommate had to help me to even get off the couch in order to try to pee which wasn't much I was rushed to the ER once again and was on IV's. My whole life I hated water and would not…

I had this problem for years then one day I sat down and said OK Anne what's up. This is either emotional, physical or spiritual. In the end I found this to be all three. The stress of the day had finally wore me down and I had not eatten in a way good for me. I personally need my carbs and protiens early on or my gas tank…

IMHO Would depend on your lifestyle your changing from. If you are normally sedetary then yes because you are up and moving around. that's why the "light" house keeping ect.. If your going to the gym and lifting weights well.. unless your lifting the kids then it wouldn't do much. Depends also what exactly did you do. My…

After having an angiogram I kept a record of all my meals simular to this program in my daytimer. I would use the database for calorie and nutrition facts at times. Then about thirty days ago I thought hmmm ok I'll join and see what it is. For awhile I still kept everything in my daytimer and here. But now I just use the…

I say no to bacon bacon bacon....I'm really from the south. Mustard Greens with bacon, gravy is always made with bacon greese, what isn't made with bacon? I still have bacon but mustard greens just aren't the same. And just how do you made black eyed peas with ham hocks without ham hocks? ooooh I have to relearn this and…

There are lots of things you can still do with your upper boddy. Even if you don't have hand weight you can use cans. Wait till you get to the specialist. They are usually fast. I tore my meniscus on both sides. Even with surgery the bounce back is fast. If the injury is not that bad you can wear a T brace. And even if you…

I can tell in your face too! Your doing fantastic!

Many of these articles are based on what someone defines as "normal". Now my cardiologist put me on a 1200 calorie diet 35 fat grams 10-12 sat fat and 200 cholesteral. Period! No eatting back calories. Nadda! I'm listening to him since I'm not from the "norm" and I am trying to avoid a stint. And I really really really…

I did not know vitamin D was important. I moved to the city to see new doctors. I recieved an urgent call from her office after my blood test. I was expecting to hear it on cholesteral.....she said I only had a trace of vitamin D and I needed to pick up my perscription that night. We have been working over three months on…

I also have been both. You will find the support you need here. This isn't a diet. A healthy lifestyle change. There are all kinds of peopel with all kinds of issues. But one common thing is we all want to be healthy. Welcome to MFP!

I agree with one thing at a time. This is a life style change not a diet or quick fix. I don't hide anything on my diary because that's old behaviour and who am I kidding anyways. All my friends understand and we all have those days. First thing is your here. So pull up a char and get comfy and stay awhile.

IMHO.....Over the generations families have stopped interacting with one another. We have all kinds of situations from obese children, undisciplined children who throw tantrums until a parent gives in to just get them to stop, we have rebellious children even at age 3, we have children who are allowed to go anywhere on the…

I just found one I love...Rice cake then a tbsp no fat cream cheese spread on them I top it with 2 sliced straberries and a quarter teaspoon of honey on top : ) It's only 67 calories.

I don't want to assume any of his feelings but you can tell him how you feel. I have been with men who preferred me to be over weight because then they did not have to worry about other men looking at me or being interested. It's a false sense of security. There have been many things said but this does come down to what…

Praise God! I am so happy for you. You are an inspiration and I know God has much more in store for you. I love the picture you show. The weight in the stomach causes much more health problems. I am excited to see you are looseing!

I had lost weight before and stopped counting. Then I would say well this little cake or fry isn't much. I'll burn it off. If I didn't feel like going for a walk I wouldn't. I started parking closer to the store. The weight came back slowly and I would always say well that's not too much I'll get back to it. Then here I…

I have a sweet tooth so I must have my mints, gum, craisins and almonds, blueberry caffine free tea, honey, and dried apricots. The rest is just food. Those are my MUST have! The one thing I did keep was my morning coffee which I use half and half with sugar. I just went from 4 cups to two : )

I do understand what your saying. The way I can relate this is....I became sober 21 years ago but I kept going to meetings to maintian my sobriety. The same way with weight loss journey. Just because we "arrive" doesn't mean we need no more help. I think you need even more because a lifestyle change takes time. No quick…

You show what persaverance will do! Four years and you hung in there. I applaud you. Your life will be amazing with this kind of determination! Fantastic Work!

How about Health Valley Organic - Blueberry Cobbler Cereal Bar 130 cal (sugar 16) 1/2 a banana 53 cal (sugar 7) Hard boiled egg (made 6 yesterday ahead of time) 53 cal (sugar 1) 2 cups black coffee 16 cal (sugar 0) For a Total of 277 calories (Total sugar 24) It was fast, easy, didn't heat up the kitchen on this hot day :…

I'm sorry you are going thru so much right now. I am thankful you are able to get on a computer : ) Did you loose everything in the tornado? I do know kids these days are in for a rude awaking. The ticker is still going on the national debt. Cell phones and laptops are luxuries. I have been homeless and lived in shelters…

ditto and I'm less then two months. I'm right with you and I am an eat it all type! Take my vitamins. I thought this was just me. Thanks for posting. I would like to hear some ideas or reasons too! Edited to add this: I tried meeting the carbs and I I can't. It's too many and adds to others like fat or sodium that I can't…

Just moved from Graham/Eatonville to Renton a few months ago. I already miss the country! Fireworks banned in Renton. WAAAAAA!! What's a fourth without them. Fourth of Julivars is so much fun but I just can't stay up that late and drive home. I used to go every year. So...still trying to decide what to do for the 4th : )…
