What am I doing wrong?
Over the past two months I have cut my fast food intake to one small meal per week; I have decreased the amount of alcohol I drink, I cook pretty much all my meals at home and use clean, natural ingredients, even organic sometimes; I only eat lean meats, low-fat dairy in small amounts, whole-grain anything (and I have cut…

Appetite Suppressants?
Can anyone suggest something to suppress my appetite (without getting judgy and hateful)? I don't mean something to make me feel full longer. I never feel full. I can be in physical pain and still not mentally feel full. It doesn't matter what I eat. Carbs, protein, fiber, drinking a lot of water... I'm never full, just…

I am having a difficult time finding good recipes online. Here's why: 1. Single mom, not much money,…

Tips to help me stop eating!
I can never seem to get full. I am constantly physically and mentally hungry. I try to eat smaller portions, but then I just wind up eating more small portions! I get protein in every meal, so I don't think that's the problem. I am definitely not full/satisfied if I don't have some sort of carbs (bread, pasta, crackers,…

Cardio ideas that don't hurt!
I have extremely bad knees and ankles, plus some problems with my hips and lower back (thanks, giant boobs!). I need some cardio ideas I can do at home because my fitness center is closed for two more weeks. I'm a single mom and don't have anyone to watch my small child so I can walk a track ( he won't stay with me if I…
