I try to eat mostly raw. I am not vegan though. There are raw cheeses and cured meats. I don't do as much as I want, because I have kids and they won't eat everything I do (I end up nibbling their tasty foods). I just kept adding more and more veggies/fruit/nuts to my diet over the past 8 yrs to get to the point I'm at…

Well you did what you could, and planted a MFP "seed" with her. You're doing a great job and setting a good example. Hopefully, she'll realize that...sooner better than later.

Yeah, this too...except I exercise inside while carrying my notes or use an empty classroom and read my notes while walking around the room. I kill two birds with one stone; studying gets done and I'm focused for the time period and the exercise gets done!:smile:

I hear you! I am a 3rd year medical student. I also have finals for 2 weeks before Christmas break. I am also a single mom of 2 kids 10/12 who are growing so fast and they are skinny and need to gain, I'm overwt and need to lose. Blah! Logging into MFP has been really helping me say, "ok, stop eating for the day." I don't…

MelissaE27 I feel bad, but you're comment made me laugh. That is scary. I cancelled my plentyoffish within a couple weeks of opening it last spring and was kind of creeped out and didn't go out with one guy. Your comment makes me feel better about cancelling.

Thanks for asking that question. I have been using the Spot Bot and we end up with all these clean little circles that show me the whole rug/carpets need to be cleaned. I have been meaning to ask the same question.

Great job! Keep up the good work! Sooo cute.

Thanks!

I rarely go out. Occasionally during school, I go to the cafe nearby to get out for a walk and get away from school for a while. Things like that, I always have my head down and am reading notes for school. I am a divorced mom, if I go to the movies, I always go with the kids. I consider going to movies or go out just to…

Thank you for sharing. It is good that you are thinking about what happened to set you back. Sometimes I get mad when I go through stressful times and gain weight or let my exercise routine go, but I try to remember that it is a new day and to do the next right thing and get back on track. We can do this thing!

Does anyone have any frustrations about the naturopathic health industry? or Benefits to seeing a naturopath?

Please tell me what the NHS is? Thanks!

Thanks, everyone! It is interesting to hear about the differences in health care in the U.S. compared to other places in the world.

Nice job! Thanks for sharing.

I try to avoid it. Yet, I keep Braggs Liquid Aminos for special occasions, maybe because of the nutrients.

I don't remember going on a date. I feel clueless. Maybe it'll happen one day.

I like your hair!

Yes, this helps a lot! Thank you very much! Mia :smile:

Also, thanks for the rest of your jobs: social work & teacher and Navy spouse. My mom was a teacher and Air Force spouse, she had similar issues.

Err...What frustrates you about YOUR profession is the 1st question :)

Thanks for your answer & MANY thanks for your work as a police officer!

1st question: Your profession...can be anything, not just health care. Thanks!

Thanks so much for your response! Good job on the weight-loss, also!

PS I'm also in OR.

Hello, I read your post. I'm also a single mom and student! The past couple years I gained a few lbs of the weight back, but after coming to MFP I have been doing really well. That was in the middle of summer! Now I'm at the lowest I've been in yrs, but I'm nervous because it feels like every extra thing I eat or lack of…

I bought one of these maple candies from New Seasons, so it will be special for me tonight when I'm passing out candy and taking the kids out. I might take one or two of their dark chocolates if they get any. They don't like dark chocolate, I think they tried to give me several pieces last year, I finally said it's not…

I will pray for you and your family! Your concern shows that you are very caring.

Hello! You can add me as a friend. I'm not sure if I'm in the same boat? I am divorced and mother of 2 kids. I had about 60 pound to lose and am getting within 15 pounds of my goal. The first year of weight loss I did really well, and these past couple yrs I felt stuck...until I started using my fitness pal this summer and…
