Shrinking Feet???
Hi All, I've been slowly losing nearly 50 lbs over the past couple of years, and am now around 144 lbs. (5 ft 4 inches). I don't have a goal weight - just kind of going with the flow and will let my body decide when it is done. I'm enjoying the looser clothes (I'm wearing 6/8 down from 16/18), however noticed my feet have…

November Book Club: The Alchemist
Did everyone get a chance to read it?? This was my first Paulo Coelho book (he has written many others such as The Witch of Portobello, etc.) and I have to say I enjoyed it. It was not a hard read, but it was filled with a lot of profound topics. I'm going to post some of the topics or thoughts brought up in this book, and…

Halloween Costume?
My oldest DD (9) will be a fairy. I bought large butterfly wings for her, and she will wear a dress - put sparkles on her face, and do her hair. Easy!

It's not horrible, but just kind of annoying. :grumble: I heard some people experience this on Atkins, but I am not on a low carb diet (I love 'em carbs!) Bizzare (scratching head) Anyone experience…

Question about Cholesterol...
Ok, so I've been counting calories, watching my sodium, fat etc. but never really paid attention to cholesterol. When I turned 30 (the big 3-0, lol) last year, I decided to ask my doc for a lipid panel, since I have never had that done before. He looked at me funny - as if I asked a stupid question - but went ahead and…

Two Tools...
I love tools (both in the literal and figurative sense, smile!) I came across two nutritional tools that are amazing and wanted to pass them on. Both relate to eating out (one of my downfalls). The first is a nutrional service called Diet1 where you can text message (to 34381) the name of the restaurant and the food, and…
