A calorie is a calorie is a calorie.... Just some are far more nutritional for your body....

Mine has always been roundish/squarish...Chubby cheeks...I still have my "cute cheeks" but my face is slimmer....

Yep...you've beat yourself up...now move on. No need to continue to be down on yourself anymore today.

Good for you not being a doormat any longer! Words of advice from someone who has been there....work on you, don't worry about who might be out there for you, get comfortable with you first and figure out what you want for you before getting out there again! And congrats on BOTH weight losses!!!

Try adding some juice to it..then gradually decrease the amount of juice until your taste adjusts to the "taste" of water..I had to do that when I first started drinking water cuz I hated the taste of water...now I drink the heck out of water..

Definitely go to Zumba.com...hit the tab for instructors...put in what area your looking for and it'll show you ones close by...

UH....20 Children....ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've heard MSM is the thing to take to tighten up the skin...

You probably look so good that your friend is jealous that you look as good as you do after having your first and soon after having your second!! Don't let some "friend" make you determine how you FEEL about YOU!!!! In my experience, those who criticize you like that, wish they looked as good!!!! Keep your head held high…

My oldest daughter is in the Health Field..and she does not recommend getting that vaccine. My youngest has not and will not receive it. Too many bad things associated with it....

Laughing Cow cheeses are SO very good!

Here's a link to check out some benefits of them... http://www.nutsonline.com/cookingbaking/chia-seeds/premium.html

Carbs are not evil...some are just better for you then others...from what you've said, you're eating the right ones...and losing slowly is the best way to lose....It stays off longer and is better for you.... the first 50lbs I lost, I"ve kept off since 2003...and that took me a year to lose...the next 30lbs I've lost…

I'm sorry, but your nutritionist telling you not to eat back your exercise calories is wrong...When I started eating mine back, either a small portion of them or most of them, I began losing weight again... Then when I hit a plateau, I started zig zagging my calories(eating a different amount of calories everyday but still…

You are correct in that...especially if you're dr. said it's ok for you to...Just do what you were doing before....My mom, when she was pregnant with my sister, slept ALL the time....It's like it's the body's reaction to some pregnancy's... Yeah, if you were extremely before you sure could..I've got a lady in my Zumba…

How active were you before pregnancy? Were you regularly exercising? Any kind of cardio or weights? If you weren't don't try to get into shape with the pregnancy...if you were, continue to do what you were doing before...but as you get farther along in your pregnancy, adjust how you're doing anything....

I've heard this stuff is GREAT tasting too!!

And as far as a veggie omelet goes.....make it a 3-4 egg white omelet with as many veggies as you want!! Track the calories eaten, and you'll actually be surprised at how low cal that is.... And eat a CARB with it!! Like, I eat a 1/2 a Sara Lee 90 Calorie Whole Wheat muffin along with mine.....

Good Lord!!! Peanut Butter was my saving Protein Grace when I was needing something sweet and filling! I would eat a couple of tablespoons at any one time... it's a good source of protein, so EAT UP!!

Yeah, don't worry a bit about not eating your calories..if you feel hungry then eat a bit...but otherwise, your body is just not up to having food... Feel better soon!

Use a French Onion soup...It's a broth based rather than a cream base....But I've never used a cream of soup anything in mine...Sometimes some Red Wine in it......

All I know is, once I started eating 5-6 times a day, I began losing weight. My blood sugar levels stayed level. I never have a drop in my sugar. If a person is going to eat that many times a day, you learn to space out your calories. I found too that once I began to eat a regular breakfast, I FELT better....You don't eat…

Yep, peanut butter with an apple is good... Greek yogurt gives you lots of protein... Get some Sara Lee 90 calorie whole wheat muffins...eat 1/2 of one of those with your eggs... Definitely get some fruit when you're able to... I get those Buddig brand lunchmeats to give me extra protein without a lot of calories...only 90…

You can use Vegan Crumbles in place of the meat as well...I think they are made by Boca...

A little sour cream is not going to hurt anything...and there is low fat sour cream out there....Add more beans, less meat...If you do up your own chili, go to the recipe maker here on mfp and place in your ingredients, how many it serves and you'll have your calorie count as well... And yes, using turkey instead of ground…

Greek Yogurt...cottage cheese...Supplements....Calcium is in your veggies as well...Some have more then others, if I understand that correctly....

Yes I do....Like this weekend...I've been eating some yummy foods that aren't so good for me..and not sure how I want to log everything...so, I'll log what I can and can the rest... No worries, cuz there will be a new day or week ahead!
