Uhhh, be careful. If the app has the same advice I regularly see posted on the internet by the same name it's not always sound. Look at the nutrition info very carefully; sometimes the suggested meal will have less calories and fat but be LOADED with sodium. Or they will say something along the lines of "Instead of eating…

I have been feeling super drained lately. I took my toddler swimming this morning and I swear I wasn't sure I was going to make it through the rest of the day without falling over... When she took her nap (or pretended to) I drank a bunch of water, popped a multi-vitamin, and laid down for about twenty minutes. It did…

Hmmmm, the only thing I can say is that maybe you have a defective scale? Have you had it for long?? I work in a housewares store, and we sell a lot of food scales. Occasionally you will get a return because of a manufacture defect. Trade it in where you bought it if you can, and if the new one does the same thing return…

The same thing just happened to me; gained 5 lbs in two days. (Argh!) I saw another post on this site about it (Look up PMS and weight gain) and one member said her doctor told her that women can gain between 2 and 10 lbs around that time. I'm sure I already knew this about myself, but it really got me down this morning.…

God I am glad I am not the only one!!! Thanks ladies!:flowerforyou:

I recently discovered fat free ricotta by Precious, and I am going to try it in this recipe. I have heard about ricotta pancakes for a while, and I'll bet they turn out KILLER :)

A genuine thank you is always appreciated, and sometimes rarely heard. I would maybe avoid saying things like "Hey, you got it all right... " that can be a little patronizing....

Do you have a recipe for your sweet potato "fries"? I would love to try them!

Ugh! When I was pregnant people used to comment on my body all of the time, like it was okay because I was carrying a child! One woman asked me when I was due and when I told her she said "WOW. You're going to be a BIG girl!" She was very heavy herself, and I just wanted to say "Well I do have another person inside of me,…

Jamie Oliver made an awesome peanut butter smoothie on his first show "The Naked Chef" years ago. I used to make them all of the time when I when a bartender and didn't have much time to eat. It was basically 1 banana, 2 TB peanut butter, 1 TB honey, about a cup of milk, and some ice to make it nice and cold and frothy. I…

I let a old boyfriend cut my hair once because he had cut his roommate's hair and it looked really good. I wanted it pretty short and sassy, but halfway through as I was watching him in the mirror I realized he had no idea what he was doing; he was just hacking away. For some reason I told him to stop and go get the…

Well, I was surprised they didn't have any info under "cardiovascular exercise" when I typed in "sex":happy: I think it's a great workout! (And if it's not you're doing it wrong:tongue: )

My first goal this time is 185. When I hit it I am going to get a much needed haircut, and set an appointment with my favorite artist to get a tattoo design drawn up. When I hit my final goal of 165 I am getting that tattoo! (Hopefully for my 40th birthday in January) As I mentioned, I am a chef and I have yet to get…

I just joined too, and I know I have a LOT of work ahead of me. I LOVE this site so far. The tools will really help me. I lost 25 lbs on my own last year by going to the gym 4-5 times a week, and watching what I ate. I hit a plateau about 6 months ago and haven't dropped an ounce since, so I know I have to really, really…
