Some people swear an orange is a natural laxative. I find watermelon works for me.

I like to make it the night before: flatbread with sliced turkey and veggies. Roll it up and put in a Ziploc baggie. I can eat it without needing fork, spoon, micro. etc. I like cilantro, onions, cheese, peppers, lettuce, etc.

Okra, potato and tomato gumbo with brown rice underneath.

I put cup of boiling water in the blender and add a package of sugar_free jello. Blend till dissolved. Then, I add whatever fruit I want along with ice cubes. I don't know an amount; I just add till it looks right. It usually makes a blender full with the one pack of jello. I use frozen fruit (mango, strawberry, pineapple…

I sprinkle chia seeds on anything. They have no taste and I find them fun to eat because they swell up!!!

I don't eat my oatmeal sweet. Boil with wat4er and a bit of salt; then, I put some grated cheese on to top or crumble up bacon or sausage in it. A spoon of peanut butter in them is good, too

Okay, I'm an old country girl who loves vegetables. There are so many ways to cook veggies: slice a sweet potato thin and fry it in a little Pam on both sides till soft, then sprinkle some sweetener and cinnamon on it; put a can of green beans in a pot, slice potatoes and place on top with some onion slices, add some water…

I see termite protection.

Good luck!! I'm starting for the ...well, I've lost count...and I feel like I can't do it...but, I can't give up. Hope that others give you some tips or encouragement that can help me, too!!!

Hi, I'm right there with ya but failing miserably this time around. Good luck ...

Thank you all for your words. I can't wait to enjoy and suffer through some of the things you are mentioning here!!!

Good luck to you, too!!!

I have a fear of running out of toiletries so I usually buy three or four at a time and I consider myself "out and need to buy" when I use the next to the last one. I think I go through about a stick of deodorant in a couple of months. I'm really paranoid, too, about stinking so I slather it on. I sometimes wonder if it is…

I've just started back, too. I lost some using this about four years ago, but then my mother got sick. I was her caregiver since then and totally let myself go. I'm ready to get back in shape now and start taking care of ME again. Good luck to everyone!

Pork chops with a can of apple pie filling poured on top.

Boneless pork ribs in bottom, pour a bottle of bar b que sauce on top. Put a cup of water in bottom so it won't burn.

Peel and slice up for our five potatoes and put in bottom of crock pot. Put four or five sliced carrots on top of that. Slice onions on top of that. Pour a can of English Peas on top. Then, put about a lob of browned hamburger (with salt and pepper to taste, can also cook onions and bell peppers in with the meat) meat on…

I'm so glad I just found this thread. I so need help. :(

I have just started having this problem and my doctor put me on a diuretic. It can be a sign of a bigger problem and can be hard on the heart (the reasons the doctor put me on the mild diuretic). To help: drink lots of water to flush the excess out, try to put your feet up when you can, cut down on salt. Those tips didn't…

As an obese person, who HAS said things like that, it IS an attempt to comfort you, to tell you that to me and to many others, you do not look bad, that we don't see you as fat. It is, also, true!!!! As an obese person, I would kill to weight your 157 pounds. It is not a put down. It is not a criticism. It is true. It is…

Nothing wrong with that. I've had oats for dinner before. I cook them with a little salt, then add some cheese to them hot so that it melts. I don't like mine sweet or with milk. If I had a slice or two of bacon I would crumble that up in there with the cheese, too. Yummmmmmm!!!

Any second servings...

Lots and lots of ice!!! It's the only way to drink anything for me!!! I have been filling a big glass (like the 32 ounce ones with ice and water, peeling and slicing a lime (or lemon but I prefer the lime), gently squeezing the lime into the glass, then putting the lime into the glass, and adding a touch of sweetener. I…

Cheese

Only if you are eating them!!!!

I think, if you look at it as a "general" idea, the meaning has a good ideat. But, only as a generality. I just saw a commercial for apples, water, and filling half your plate with fruits and vegetables.

Big bowl of plain oatmeal with some melted cheddar cheese in it. YUMMMMMMMMMM..oh, and water...

Cauliflower also tastes like pizza crust and oatmeal.

Humus. Kale (but I bought a big bag so guess I'll be trying to cook it in a more savory way).

I melt a little cheddar cheese on my pain oats.
