chicken noodle soup?
I am trying to make a big pot of homemade chicken soup (boneless skinless breasts, chopped carrots, onions and celery and seasonings) & then I was gonna just boil some egg noodles separately so they don't absorb too much broth as left overs, but I have no clue how to calculate nutrition or serving size due to evaporation…

Just wanted to share how proud I am of my 15 yr old son. He has bipolar disorder and adhd and hates school. Last year he refused to go to school at least 2 times a week and got suspended at least every other week. So far this year, he has gone to school for 8 days in a row without too much fighting, and has not been…

stress, eating, and stuff
When I am stressed, I either eat everything in sight, or eat hardly anything. I am trying to be honest with my diary here, but people can be soo judgmental. Thinking I am going to make my diary locked. I am soo ready for school to start! This boy is driving my nuts. Constantly wants to be next to me, touching me, putting…

self-sabatoge?
So I am struggling with getting below 200 pounds. I get soo close (207), then seem unable to stop eating crap for a few days and find myself back up to 210, then work back down to maybe 206, then gain back to 209, etc. I have not weighed less than 200 pounds since before I got pregnant with my oldest daughter, 22 years…

Feeling bloated?
It seems I often feel bloated. What would be the easiest way to figure out which food/foods are causing it so I can eliminate them? Its basically, I think, either dairy or gluten. Should I just eliminate one for a week or so, then eliminate the other, and see which week is better? Or could it be another type of food…

when does the fatter me in the mirror go away?
When will I see the skinnier me in the mirror that others see? All I see now is the same old fatter me. I've lost 77 pounds for Pete's sake. My pants are falling off me and my ring keeps falling off. I've lost a shoe size even! So why is it all I see is the fatter me???

A couple of C25K questions...
First, how should I log it? I don't have a HRM, and can't afford one, and I have a Windows phone, so there are still not many apps available. Second, if I am doing the actual C25K Monday, Wednesday, Friday, should I do no cardio on the other days, or just walk the other days?

are we still doing this???
This group is soo quiet that I think a lot of people have quit. I am still pushing through, even though level 3 absolutely sucks for me. I used to love doing the shred every day. Now, on level 3, I dread it and put it off half the day.

having a craptastic day!
So I just listened in on my daughters treatment team. She is in a residential facility about 2 hours away from me. And I have no transportation, or money for gas even if I had a car. The man from Medicaid totally just implied that I did not care about Christal because I don't come to see her often enough and don't bring…

3, 2, 1 cake help please!
Planning to buy the cake mixes this afternoon. How do I figure out how many calories are in each serving? I mean, how do you figure out how many 3 tbs servings are in the zippy bag full of both cake mixes? Aside from actually measuring them out from one bag to another. Really don't want to play with my food that much if I…

Quick, before its done!
Should I be weighing my chicken breasts before cooking or after? Its boneless skinless. Frozen it weighed 7.3 ounces, defrosted, raw it was 6.4 ounces. I'm sure it'll be less cooked. There is an entry in the database for grilled chicken breast. I would think using that one, I'd weigh after. Right?

30ds question...
I've heard that JM does not do enough of a warm up or cool down on this. Can I get some suggestions, especially for extra warm up things? Right now I am doing the 30 ds at about 6 am. Jumping jacks are still hard for me anytime, but my knees and ankles really struggle at first, so I think I need more of a warm up.

So w1d2 ...
I'm not dead, are you? LOL. Everything hurts to some degree. I hate hate hate jumping jacks. Why oh why do they suck soo bad? Do they get easier? I hope so. Question. I am a mouth breather, and my mouth gets soo dry huffing and puffing my way through this. Any suggestions, other than getting a drink? Jumping jacks suck on…

how would you all count this??
So I am taking my 1yr old grandson yo Sea World for his birthday tomorrow. That will be a LOT of walking, pushing him in a stroller, up hills. How would you guys count that? Obviously I won't be walking fast, but mostly slow, although also mostly constant moving with some standing in lines and occasional random sitting. We…

Residential treatment
Christal has multiple personalities, ADHD,ODD,and possibly schizoaffective disorder. My 13 yr old daughter was molested by her dad when she was 8. I have bipolar disorder, and her dad has schizophrenia, so she was behind the 8ball from the beginning. But anyway, she went to a residential treatment center on Friday for the…

Rest day?
Is anybody taking a rest day? I am thinking about it, but feel guilty ... I have also been going to the gym though. So maybe a rest day from that, but still see JM this evening?

Ugh! ToM is here :(
Opinions on working out hard during this time. The first 2 days are horrible for me, I just want to curl up in a ball. I've heard exercise helps though. Thoughts?

I am looking for any daily multi recommendations that include iron definitely and whatever vitamins are best for helping with stress and anxiety.

looking for waaaay beginner workout dvds
Tried Jillian Michaels beginner DVD today. Let me just say I am crying now. My ankles are so weak jumping jacks are out of the question. I could not even manage one push up. Really just want to give up. Feels hopeless. I used to have (25 yrs ago!) a video called women at large, which was a bunch of heavy women exercising.…

sit ups challenge question ...
Would I be best off focusing on the sit ups challenge first, then doing the squats one, then doing the push ups one? Finishing each before starting the next? Thats what I think anyway. I don't want to kill myself, lol. I am pretty sure I will be starting in the first column on week 1 on each. Don't even think I can do ANY…

Anyone that uses Body Fortress ...
I am new to protein powder and I bought the super advanced whey protein one. Should I have gotten the super advanced whey isolate one? Could not figure out which was better or why. And should I be mixing it just with water? or skim milk? And in the blender or just a glass and spoon? Sorry so many questions, but I want to…
