Horribly rough and dry feet :(
So I've tried using a pumice stone, scrubs, brushes and lotions. No go. My heels especially are so cracked and dry and rough/hard. I'm a type I diabetic so taking care of my feet is very important. Anyone have anything you've tried that works well? Not only is it painful but it looks awful so I rarely wear flip flops or…

over-correcting low blood sugars...
So 90% of the foods listed in my snacks are from a hypoglycemic binge last night around midnight. I didn't think...just ate. It is the worst feeling ever. No control...and nothing but guilt later. I could not wait to get to the gym this morning. I am actually going to try to eat my exercise calories back (all of them)…

Wait...this shirt used to be tight!
So even though the numbers on the scale aren't changing dramatically, my clothes are fitting better. The shirt I'm wearing today has not been worn for months because it used to be kind of tight on me and it made me self-conscious. I'm happy to report that today...it's pretty loose on me! Almost too big! Hard work pays off.…

Worried...
I realize this is gonna stir up all kinds of drama in some individuals, but what I have to say comes from genuine concern. I have many loved ones who are struggling or who have struggled with eating disorders. I have seen numerous pictures of individuals who have maybe taken weight loss too far...not attractive thin, scary…

Craving...seriously (girls)
So it's the week before shark week-when my cravings are generally at their worst. I usually have typical PMS cravings-chocolate, caffeine, etc. But the one that gets me every time is cheeseburgers. Red meat. It is all I can think about. Generally speaking, we don't do lots of that at home and stick mostly to chicken, fish…

Netting less than 1200 calories?
So I feel like i'm eating enough...granted my diet is getting kind of boring (I do more calories on weekends and more strength training than cardio). Cardio 5 days/week. I'm netting less than 1200 calories/day on average, as I always aim for a deficit at the end of the day. I know that there are people who will fly off the…

LOZ: Majora's Mask E3 disappointment
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqdwT2pKYzY Such...a disappointment. This was leaked before E3 and I was SOOOO excited to see this preview...I am not sure Nintendo realizes what they stand to gain by actually doing a remake. Turns out the video is fake... :( Anybody else a Zelda fan?

Working my last nerve
SO for those of you that saw my post last Friday, a nurse at work had told me "See-I don't think you look like you've gained weight...you look like you've lost. I overheard some nurses saying you look like you've put on weight." Long story short, I ended up crying in my office because I'm working like a dog and watching…

So...cold...
So I'm visiting a center today...I usually work at one center 4 days a week and then go do coverage somewhere else when I work. I'm sharing an office with another person...she has the AC on full blast and I am FREEZING TO DEATH! What is a tactful way to get her to turn the air down. It's not really my office...she has…

Hurt and discouraged...
So I brought in some treats to my friends at work to thank them for the bridal shower that they gave me a couple weeks ago. A nurse tells me "See-I don't think you look like you've gained weight. You've lost weight...I overheard a few people saying you look like you've gained weight." ...What am I supposed to say to that?…

Liquor...it was sent here to destroy us.
My heart is sad. I found out one single oz of single malt scotch is freaking 68 calories!!!!! At least it's a sipper... What drinks do you all like? It's so hard...they really pack a punch calorically speaking....

Low blood sugar frustrations
Ok so this applies to people with diabetes...somewhat of a rant. I'm getting so frustrated with low blood sugars ruining my goals. Yesterday I was well under my calories (by more than 300) even after my evening snack of an apple with peanut butter. I was feeling really good about it. I got into bed and suddenly felt…

I want a ballerina body
So...I've never been "willowy" or very slender. I've always been slim but curvaceous. (size 6 pants, x-small-medium tops depending on the store. usually small-medium). I'm working out routinely but I am having a hard time with strength training to build lean muscle. I do NOT want to be bulky at all. I am aiming for a…

Any LOTR geeks here?
I'm dying to watch all three extended versions of Lord of the Rings but can't find anyone to do it with. I was just curious, how many other MFP members LOVE this series (books and/or movies)? I mean...my old car even had a liscense plate that said "GOLLUM"

Losing my mind.
OK, so this is a rant (prepare thyself) about my stupid wedding! I mean...not stupid...wonderful...but rather things that are driving me nuts. Ladies who have already been through this, I need some sanity please. Seating arrangements...last minute cancellations, last minute additions, everyone EVERYONE peppering you with…

Grape Nuts Trail Mix Crunch
:( Sigh...it was my favorite cereal of all time...but I guess the company no longer makes it? Has anyone seen it available anyplace that I can buy it? I realize it had sugar in it...it also had fewer calories than the regular Grape nuts...and tasted AMAZING (Great when stirred into yogurt too)...sad panda. Anybody else…

Nutritional yeast?
So my sister swears by the stuff. I only just recently heard about it-I do know tha ta lot of people who follow a vegan diet/lifestyle use it and eat it but... Maybe this is a lame question, how does one use it? What does it taste like? My sister said she really enjoys it-I'm always interested in trying new things. Anyone…

Starting Over and seeking friends for support.
So I had an account on here before-and lots of very supportive friends. HOWEVER, because there were some people that were extremely rude and cruel to me on the forums, I deleted my account and started a new one. If you may have friended me under my old account, here's some info about me. I'm getting married a week from…
