I am a side sleeper myself and I find that the slight head up adjusment is ok, even for him being on his stomach. The sales person who sold ours to us recommended it and we tried it and it worked for us. I hope you guys find a setting you like.

I read this article this morning and I think I does a good job of talking about CICO and explains a lot. Give it a read if you like. http://www.bodyforwife.com/understanding-caloric-deficits-for-weight-loss/

I love the bolded. Might need to make that into a tattoo with accompanying stick figure and fork running after it.

When we got ours, we adjusted the head and knees up a tiny bit. Now any other bed I sleep on feels like my head is lower than my feet! If it is adjustable, I would try different levels before giving up!

Been there with my husband. It took something like his vertigo/ear problem to make him get serious about getting better. Good luck and I will keep the nursing staff in my prayers!

That is great, Quik!! My dad was the same about not being demonstrative. I think after my mom passed, he figured out he better start showing it a bit more. He did and I was really grateful for it.

You are going to loooovvve it. We have had ours for a few years now and I love it. The only issue I have, and it may be just my hormones, is I will get hot and need to move so the bed can cool down where I was lying.

Yep, it is definitely busy at the end of the school year. I guess that is part of why we are quiet in here? Things are going ok and we are looking at some property. If that goes through, we will be building a house soon.

Gorgeous pics @Oberon21 !!

Nah, that's not the hard part. The hard part is knowing most likely you will be the one cleaning it all up afterwards!! :D

It seemed to be just another day for me. The good thing that came out of it was I had all my kids (born and bonus), grandkids and furbabies for the day. I didn't cook, neither did anyone else, but it was nice to see them all.

Pinterest has loads of DIY taco seasonings. That way you know what is in it.

That is about the only one I can stand. I laugh, I guess because my hubs is a Nascar fan, so I get a laugh out of it.

Glad you lived to tell the tale, Mel!! Guess your sensitivity to soy is worse.

I am starting back up with my work outs from the trainer I worked with before. She sets up good stuff and includes weight training.

So I got up at 4am to work out. Got it done. Now, I need to make this my morning routine. I did it for a while when I was working with my trainer, but when the program ended, so did I. It's the only time I have to myself, except for my dog who likes to try and lick my face while doing my floor work.

If I did that, I could buy myself a really nice something in a week.

Good to know, I have considered picking some up just to try it. How bad?

Quik, you are going to do great!! I am very excited for you. Even if you can't have brownies or doughnuts.

I have to admit I love the NSV thread, but I get a little jaded when a gal that has five pounds to lose talks about how she is now in a size two. I know they are here for a reason, we all are here for our own reasons, and that doesn't make their accomplisment any less great.

Happy birthday Lois!!!

Kelly, I need to find some of this Enlightened. I had Halo Top peanut butter cup the other day and loved it!

OMG, I think I am going to have the entire pint of Halo Top peanut butter cup for dinner. A new favorite for sure. Also, I picked my backsplash tile for the house this weekend. So ready for all this to be done!!! But it is going to be a long time to get done.

Those look fantastic. Need to try those at the next bonfire.

I confess that I am using the disater state of my house and my husband's medical issues to let myself eat like crap. Been eating fast good and chocolate way too often. I now need to get storage tubs and get some dusting cloths to help clean up the house. Great job on the weigjt, Quik!!! Here's hoping some organizing and…

Both of you are a testament to what hard work and dedication can achieve. I am just jealous that I haven't gotten my butt in gear to achieve what I want.

If they can basically eat what you need to eat, plan your meals for everyone. Makes it easier for you.

Better hope he doesn't live up to the name!!

Things are improving after seeing several doctors and physical therapy type people. We have another ENT to see for some specific testing but heading in the right direction.

Things have been busy at home and I don't get on the computer much at night right now. I am still reading along. We have an audiology appointment for the hubs. Hopefully we can get a handle on the hearing and balance situation with this.
