It's been a few years but when I worked at PH, we didn't actually boil any eggs, or chop them. They came in a white bag already boiled and chopped. Oh yummy! I refuse to touch the eggs on any salad bar.

I try to eat back some of my exercise calories, but not all of them. If I don't eat back some of them then I will be absolutely ravenous the next day. A very long time ago, I had an issue with keeping weight on and had to learn to eat when my body said it was hungry. So now, if my body says 'feed me', I do it. If I am…

Lock up the pantry and the fridge at night and give someone else the key. Also, talk to your doctor about the issue as well.

I drink nearly a gallon of water a day. That is, plain water, nothing added in. I do have other drinks as well, but if it has anything added to it, it's not water. I do still need to use the bathroom very often. It's supposed to calm down but I think my body is still trying to adjust to all of the changes.

I'm not losing weight as quickly as others because I'm gaining muscle. I'm gaining muscle because I do six different weight machines nightly, increase the weights each Saturday, and add in a new machine each Sunday in addition to my usual cardio work outs. I'm gaining more muscle because it is more important to me to look…

We don't have dessert though we do sometimes have treats. And we do have the rule that they have to eat at least half of everything on their plates. Otherwise, they wouldn't eat the things they don't like. If we didn't have that rule, my boy still wouldn't eat ANY veggies to this day at all and my husband just wouldn't…

So in other words, many processed foods and many fast foods contain wood pulp in them. I'm not surprised. Good reason to stay away from anything that comes from a box, a can, or the freezer and good reason to make food yourself!

I've always just sliced it up and eaten it! When the kids were little, I'd cut up those and squashes and we called them vegetable cookies.

Everyday without fail, since the day I was born, I have done one thing. Everyday, no matter what, I wake up!

Sounds like something you should ask your doctor about! I get the same symptoms when my blood pressure drops. Of course, when that happens, I go and see my doctor about it.

I quit two weeks ago. :D Lungs are still healing but it is so nice to wake up each morning and be able to breath. It's equally nice to sleep all the way through the night! Good luck. This is something you can do!

Thank you. :)

I won't run/walk a mile for Caylee. Sorry. I will, however, walk a mile for every child that left this world early at the hands of their parents. There are many of them and many parents that are not convicted. I will, however, walk a mile for every abused child. I will walk a mile for every child that goes to bed hungry,…

They got results, it doesn't matter how they got them. Their results have no impact on your results.

Since I quit smoking, sodas have tasted nasty to me. Too sweet and too bitter at the exact same time. I now drink water, unsweetened tea, and Gatorade at the gym (which is also too sweet but serves a purpose.)

I've known people to lose 40 pounds and have that extra skin, and others to lose over 100 pounds with no extra skin. The only difference I know of off hand, is that those without the excess did strength training and constant toning the entire time mixed in with the cardio. I can't say if you'll have the same results or not.

Hamburgers, spaghetti, mix with equal parts extra lean hamburger meat and a bit of pork sausage (for taste) and make a meatloaf, meatballs, Stuffed mini meatloaves. turkey and rice... Just about anything you'd make with hamburger meat, you can make with ground/minced turkey.

For me, I went to the end of my driveway to check the mail, and was out of breath. That was followed up by a dream that informed me if I didn't change my weight and health habits NOW, I would be dead in less than two years. I kinda like this whole living thing and am not ready to die at this point. So yeah. I got to it. :)…

My morning snack was 1 cup Dannon plain natural yogurt with 1 tsp of powdered sugar. Breakfast was one egg with: spinach, tomato, green pepper, onion, mushroom, 1/3 of a piece of bacon all scrambled together and topped with 1/8 of a cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Oh, and a glass of milk. I tell my kids all the time,cereal…

Your egg is a good start, but how about a small bit of dairy in there and either fruit or vegetable? Oh also, the yolk may be the fattiest but it also has the highest protein. This is what I do: Egg, tomato, spinach, green pepper, onion, mushroom and 1/4 cup cheddar cheese. Add in 1 cup of milk. Guess what? It's healthy,…

I have a twelve year old daughter and she was the exact same way. If there was candy or sweets of any kind out where she could get it, she would get it. So how did I fix it? I didn't. Instead, I said that she'll eat what she'll eat. I quit fighting her. Now she walks one mile every morning and two miles every night. Guess…

Some sort of weird sausage my husband picked out. (Try everything once, good stuff twice!), brown rice, broccoli, and carrots.

I love how brown rice tastes! To me, white rice tastes a lot like paste. Feels like paste too. However, my family doesn't share my sentiments. Well, my kids do but my husband doesn't. I do everything that was previously suggested. But I will also add in half a teaspoon of butter (not margarine) into the water while it's…

Don't believe everything you see on tv, on a video or in a theater. Likewise, don't believe everything you read. So what can you believe? Your doctor, your nutritionist, your dietitian, or heck... even your pharmacist! This is actual medical advice that you're asking for. The only people qualified to give medical advice…

When I'm sore, I workout the muscles that I'm sore in to loosen them up a bit. It always helps them to feel better and the next time I work them hard, they don't feel it as badly.

His lack of intimacy may have absolutely nothing to do with you. I am very lucky that I have a husband who understands I just am not sexual. Seriously. It's a chore. I'd rather fold laundry, clean the bathroom, scrub floors with a toothbrush and it has not one single thing to do with him. I love him dearly and show him…

For the first time, after seeing me make my burgers this way for years, my husband finally tried spinach instead of lettuce and carrots on his bacon cheeseburger. He loved it and said he should have started that long ago! If they see us do it enough, they try it out too. :D

I don't get that very often, but people give me some strange looks when they see me putting spinach, carrots, green peppers and cucumbers on my burger!

I don't eat anything with any ADDED sugar (or artificial sweetener) anymore. Fruit? Milk? Cheese? I like being healthy too much to take those completely out of my diet!

I love KFC fried chicken, even now. However, I can only eat one small piece before I'm full, like a chicken leg. My body simply will not allow me to eat more than that. I can't stand the taste of anything sweet now. Artificially sweet, naturally sweet, it doesn't matter. Sweet = gross!
