calories in medication?
Are there calories in meds? I'd so, how many? Does anyone log all their meds?
-
Smoothies??
What are your favorite low cal smoothie recipes? I am lactose intolerant, can use Lactaid, and allergic to peanut butter. I'm on a low calorie intake because I am unable to exercise. (Medical issue). So the lower the better... Anyone??

New....ish.
So I was here a couple years ago and did fantastic! Got to my goal weight, then dropped a few more. Since then, I've been thru a divorce, moving -twice- for a total of 12+ hours drive time, been diagnosed with more health issues that I never imagined, and as a result, can't exercise without serious damage. And that has…

serious problem
I really don't know where else to go to get ideas or vent. I am on my cell phone so yeah, I'll be txt typing. I have a VERY limited budget for food. As in @$75 per week for 5 people and 3 of those are growing boys. I buy healthy lasting items (freezer bulk things) and try to get a few things like a bag or 2 of chips or…

serious problem UPDATE!!
Ok this is for those who skip most of the other post and keep repeating the same thing I have already addressed. If you read the whole thing you'll see. But you don't. You just keep telling me to buy veggies n fruits. Etc... SNACKS in my house are veggies and fruits and nuts. I buy PLENTY of food for us for a week. 3 meals…

physical therapy
I had an allograft ACL reconstruction may 10. Off crutches may 19 and out of the leg brace on may 22. I have full ROM and weight bearing. I cannot jump or run yet...still strengthening. I do p.t. in center once a week for an hour and on my own daily at home. Here's my question .... Does PT count as exercise?

Big Brother ...what do you think
Shane - I think he's shady. I don't trust him. Something about him is "off" Ian - is a twerp. He is too immature to be there. Smart as a whip, but rocks in my driveway have more common sense. JoJo - is on the wrong show. She's a housewife. She makes deals with whoever listens and is loyal to everyone ..blah blah blah Joe -…

the klutz has struck again
So I've decided to use the self cleaning thingy on my oven. I wipe it out to get the loose crumbs. Remove the racks. Set to clean. Lock the oven door. Within 15 minutes I go check on it and see FLAMES shooting a foot high thru the glass door. I just sighed and walked away. Nothing I could do. Can't open the door to use the…

Big Brother.....DONT FORGET
They're supposed to show unseen footage of Willie's rampage tonight! The live feeds were off and no one knew what happened except for what bits and pieces gathered when feeds came back on after he was gone! Doubt they'll show anything "good" but better than nothing! 8pm est CBS

no wonder I'm so fat. I'm such a
KLUTZ! I can't exercise! Seriously! I fell out of my bed head first and knocked myself out. My kids said I went into a seizure and called 911. My bed is 4+ feet high. Don't ask how it happened, I have no idea. That was around Nov last year. April 8th this year I had a bad fall off of one of my horses. That was ok. But when…

goal changes??
My goal was/is?? To drop 35 - 40 pounds. For my size 5'3" and small boned frame I'd be around 112-117. Well..I've done 11 pounds (might change, gonna weigh in a few minutes) and wonder if I should change to smaller goals? Is this normal to second guess? Should I keep it the same? Would lowering it be a cop out? Opinions??
-
was doing so good.....WAS.. :(
Was doing great! Had ACL reconstruction may 10. Doc n pt said I'm at least 2 months ahead of where I "should" be. Then after all my non stop hard work, I tripped over my Doberman and I think I screwed up my knee again. I'm so discouraged. Back to limping, swelling and pain when.there's any weight on it. So not happy.. I…

name brand or generic
* I was gonna post this on the food thread, but its more for fun, not information purposes. What foods do you prefer name brand, or generic? I have to have name brand cheese, but won't touch name brand chocolate chip ice cream. Generic is better to me. name brand Cheetos but generic veggie crackers. Name brand butter,…
-
oh he11 no...
What foods are on your "oh he11 no!" list? For me.... Green peppers, raw onions (cooked are fine) and I'm allergic to broccoli, peanuts and eggs. Tho sometimes I sneak an egg for breakfast once in a great while. If green peppers or raw onions are ON my food, touching where I bite or not I can taste it. Gross!

food delivery?
Does anyone order their food from Swans? I'm thinking about ordering our food to be delivered. I despise shopping. What are your experiences? Good? Bad?

is it me or ...
Ok I go to P.T. every week for post ACL surgery. I usually see the same therapist ..but have on occasion seen others. There is one there who is I'm guessing mid 30's?? Well...in the middle of my therapy he will take calls. At first I figured it was a doctor or something... He comes back after about 10-15 minutes and says…

desperate!
Just got an invite to a friends wedding. I've known her for 28 years. Her first wedding and she's almost 40. I have no idea what gift would be appropriate. We are friends. Not close. Just long time. I've been married almost 16 years, with my husband 17 in Sept. So I would like it to have meaning, but not break me. I'll be…

What do you like best? How you sleep? Can you breath better? Personally, my stomach looks flat! I work my ABS a lot.... What do you like about being on your back?

Ok...I don't eat junk or any pop or sugar ...all homemade baked stuff (biscuits, pancakes, bread, etc) and what I bake is whole wheat ...all healthy ...I exercise daily and try hard as I can to do 1200 calories per day. Since January this year I couldn't lose a single pound. Nothing. No matter what I tried. My thyroid is…

peanut butter allergy
I think I'm allergic to peanut butter. Not just store bought but homemade too. Every time I eat it I get light headed and my stomach gets upset. I was putting it on my celery for my protein snack. Guess not now. And guess I should be happy its not a severe reaction. Ugh!

I just got out of the garden! Got another round of taters, green goodies and maters! Yes I'm a redneck and proud! All pesticide free and FRESH! Can't wait til tomorrow's dinner. Homemade whole wheat pasta with fresh maters . Garden veggies and skim milk. Some days I wish my son would eat boxed, but homemade does taste so…

oh no! major setback!
*please don't say go to the doctor as I am aware of this as is my neuro and have been down this road before. I just have to vent. Last nite I did 1/2 my workout as Sundays are my easy days. (My cheat/reward days if you will). I thought maybe I pulled something in my back so I stopped immediately and iced it. This morning I…

cant get calories or i get sick
Making a long story short...I'm on 1200 calories and its soooooo hard to get even that in. Today I cut my exercise time in half and managed to reach my goal. YAY ME! Not. Everytime I meet my 1200 goal with my exercise I get violently ill. It doesn't matter if I eat 20 minutes or 30 or an hour or 3 hours after. I keep very…

cant eat??
I feel like I eat all day. I know I drink all day non stop. My water bottle is constantly being refilled, even if I forget to log it. But I definitely log my food. I am on 1200 calories but I can't ever get it in. All I do is eat! After I work out I am back, or ahead of where I started! I started all this in Jan and…
