I need some serious help with food at work
I began my career as a deputy sheriff, supervising inmates in the county jail, a month and a half ago. I am allowed to eat whatever I want, even on post if I want to, as long as the bag I carry it in is see through. This has caused me to gain 5lbs in the past month after losing 109lbs. I have always been a boredom eater…

Problem with sit ups, need advice
I developed coccydynia 6 months ago which is a rare condition that causes debilitating pain any time pressure is applied to the tailbone. This obviously makes sit ups, or even just laying on my back, excruciating and therefore impossible. Normally this wouldn't be a problem and I could use some other ab exercises. However,…

What to do for soreness??

(thanks to the person who suggested his site yesterday) I used 3lb dumbbells which were the only thing I had handy and this was my first time doing strength training. My shoulders/shoulder blades, and thighs are already sore and it's only been an…

Making food stamps last
This is not a debate about food stamps so don't make it one. For those who are on food stamps (for whatever reason), how do you make them last the entire month while still eating healthy? Do you have some sort of system that you use? Certain types of food? TIA!!

Major NSV Yesterday!!!!!!
Back in late July my family and I went to King's Dominion. I was able to ride all of the rides I wanted although some of the restraints were a little snug.

Non processed foods on an odd schedule
I work 11:30am to 10pm five days per week which makes it very difficult to cook real food. By the time I get home from work all I want to do is throw something in the microwave and be able to eat in less than 5 minutes (since I usually eat very little or nothing while at work). Things are a little better on days that I do…

Homemade salad dressing
I have always loved salads and have recently been eating them a lot more. I only use a couple tbsp of fat free dressing on my salads which is great calorie wise but it's killing me on the sodium. Is there a way to make my own dressing that is low or no sodium?? I prefer ranch and french dressing. TIA!!!

Exercising with a toddler
During all of the opportunities I have to exercise, I'm accompanied by my shadow. My son has autism and doesn't like being away from mommy or daddy for more than a few minutes at a time. I have a treadmill and a stationary bike but I don't know if he will sit and play by himself if I bring him in the garage with me. How do…
