Cabbage juice?

Wal-mart!?
Have you ever tried to place an order on walmarts web site and they would not approve your method payment even though you had the money? I tried to do an e-mail gift card like 5 times this morning and they kept canceling my transaction saying they "could not verify" my info. It was absurd. Is this their new thing?

Sometimes, you just have to walk away!
When you run across one who wants to tear you down because your opinion or lifestyle is not in lockstep with theirs, or someone who puts words in your mouth saying that you "implied" things that you certainly did not, people who take your words and twist them, or people who want to sling insults because they are on such a…

Prevention magazine, good advice or a broken record?
Am I the only one who thinks that prevention magazine just reruns the same old thing a hundred different ways? Every issue is the same, "Look great/thin/fit/young etc... after 40!" "Lose belly fat in 14 days!" "Health symptoms you should not ignore!" so forth and so on. I used to have a subscription, but it all seemed so…

Any success stories?
I would love to hear some success stories. This is my 11th day on the diet and I need some encouragement. I feel angry, hopeless, frustrated and this whole thing seems so daunting somedays. Knowing about someone elses success would be a big help!

This place is a ghost town...
It would be nice if the members of this group were more active. It is frustrating not getting a response.

Turmeric chicken
I like to take a left over chicken breast, slice it cross wise into little "chicken medallions" (for lack of a better term) and coat lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle with a mixture of turmeric, black pepper, cumin and little salt, then put it on a hot cast iron griddle and brown lightly on both sides. BUT I would like…

Can't get back on the wagon!!!
UGH! I am so frustrated..... I knew I should have never indulged in easter sweets! Now I can't stop ....AGAIN! You can liken this to a recovered alcoholic trying to stop at just one drink. I have to get my mojo back! Maybe I should fast for a day. That usually helps.... if I can stop stuffing my face long enough that is!…

Anything but Jillian michaels.....
I admit, I have an extensive video collection. I have everything from Rodney Yee to Bob Harper. I really can't get into anything biggest loser related, no 30 day shred etc... that whole species of workouts is so boring to me. I have the dirty dancing video and it is a lot of fun. It's great for the light day workout, I…

I am going to try the "eat more" thing again.....
Someone recently gave me a pretty good explanation of how the "eat more to weigh less" thing works, but I can't remember which thread it was posted in. I went searching for TDEE and BMR calculators, but as you may already know, they are all different. The first one had me at nearly 2000 calories fro a day. I figured that…

Saddle bags anyone?
Is it just me or are the saddle bags creeping up? I feel like when I look in the mirror, that I have more fat around the upper/outer thigh. Am I just imagining this? Does anyone else see this on themselves?

Depression. What effects can diet have?
I don't know if it's too much of a long shot. I have been following the candida diet for about two weeks now. I feel a difference in my body as far as little nuisances are concerned. I intend to keep this up until I am cleared of the problem, and at that point keep my dietary habits wise. My trouble is, I have been…

Holy exploding flax seeds batman!
Okay, I like to try new things. I have never soaked flax seeds, but I thought I would give it a shot. Well, I didn't expect the slimy jar of goo that resulted within 30 minutes of adding water to the flax seeds. I figured that only occurred with ground flax. anyhoo, I could no longer use them for the intended purpose. Two…

Does anyone else here have hyperacusis?
I had bell's palsy about three years ago. Often with bell's palsy, the muscles inside the ear are paralyzed along with the muscles in either the left or right side of the face. During the bell's palsy the sensitivity to sound was severe. The volume of my own voice was even painful at times. While I still have some residual…

Push up help
I have tried many times in my history of exercise to do real push ups. NOT the little girly ones, but regular push ups. Who has started from being able to do none to being able to do many? I don't have access to a gym, but I do have dumbells at home. Are there any other exercises that can help strenghten the muscles used…

Compulsive binge eaters
It finally hit me last night that I am a compulsive binge eater. What I have mistaken for an agressive appetite was really a much nastier monster lurking in the shadows. Someone made the comment that "If you're not willing to eat veggies to satiate your hunger, then you are probably just having some killer strong cravings,…

New in the group!
Hi! I am a binger. I always thought I just had a huge appetite until last night someone made a comment that made the light bulb go off. I am looking to take immediate and active steps to beat the monster down! If anyone wants to friend me please do!

Just posting some love!
Looking at all the beautiful people having such ugly struggles has really opened a new place in my heart. I have never in my life felt the pain of so many others as I have today. The more we stick together the more healing we all will recieve. I wish I could reach out and scoop up all the pain, self loathing, misery,…

I wish I could kick my self in rear end!
I can do really well for a couple of days. But come the third or fourth day it's like I lose complete control! Since I quit smoking almost 7 years ago, I have found my self in awar with my appetite. No matter what I eat, how much I eat, how often I eat I feel like I am absolutely starving!!! I keep going back to square one…

Raw vs cooked vegetables?
Do you notice a difference in your appetite when you eat raw vegetables vs cooked ones? I know that certain vegetables are more nutritious when they have been cooked. But do you feel more satisfied and for longer after eating raw vegetables?

Egg roll in a bowl!
If you like eggrolls, but you want to avoid the fried aspect as well as the wrapping, this is great! 1 cup of shredded cabbage (raw) 1/2 cup shredded or finely chopped chicken (cooked) 1/4 cup shredded or finely chopped carrots (raw) 1 tsp olive oil (or what ever oil you like) dash of: black pepper salt ginger celery seed…

Second day here!
Hi! I heard about this site from "TriDave" on yahoo comment boards. I am a little over weight. I am 5'3" and currently see-sawing between 155-165LBS. I started out going between 165-175LBS about a year and a half a go after weaning my second baby from nursing. I have a terrible appetite problem. I constantly feel like I am…

It is 8:45pm and I still have 396 calories?
At this time of night with 396 calories still available to me, should I still try to use some of those in a snack? Should I just call it a day? I really did great today as far as ignoring my gnawing appetite. Maybe I ignored it too much? Would a bowl of honey nut cheerios or a pack of oats and dark chocolate granola bars…

Hungry like a wolf!
Does anyone else just stay hungry all the time? It makes no difference what I eat or how much I eat of it. The longer I go without eating, the longer I can go with out eating. But once I take a single bite of anything, it's like falling down a hole! I just can't stop being hungry. I try to resist eating in excess as much…
