:D Today did the yoga vid I found on Netflix and LOVED it.....was in quite a bit of pain this morning and it truly helped alleviate it. Very gentle, no "pretzel" moves. It may not be for everyone (very hippy-skippy, new age-y, including sitar music!) but that is my cuppa! It is streaming on Netflix,...

Hi Amake, thanks for dropping by :D Thanks for your concurrence regarding my shopping spree....now I just have to convince my DH, hahaha! :) Just wanted to add that I did a half hour of Pilates in addition to my mile walk today....also was happy to find a great yoga dvd on Netflix....its specificall...

Had a pretty good experience with first s days....ate what I wanted but didn't graze nor did I overeat. My treats were homemade and delicious (french toast, blondies, Chinese food). Kept up my water and supplement intake. This morning got right back on track no-essing. Did my mile walk with Leslie S...

AWESOME

Hi Kevin, thanks for stopping by....yes, I think I have seen that at my TJ's but haven't tried it yet....will pick some up next time I'm there....I'm not much of a coffee drinker (even though I live in Seattle) and I love my tea. Another favorite of mine is TJ's Irish breakfast tea, and also Yogi te...

Greetings from the mainland :D (I'm assuming you're on Whidbey Island, and if you are, lucky you!) I made the oven fries last night with a bit of olive oil and Mrs Dash's sf seasoning, and a whole lotta black pepper....tasted great but IKWYM bout those Red Robin fries....they must sprinkle them with...

Hi Bright Angel :) I haven't gotten to that post yet, but i'll give it top priority....there is such a wealth of information on this site, I have spent the last few days pouring over the contents of this site....just started listening to the podcasts as well...Reinhard is brilliant and so insightful...

Hi BrightAngel I am a new member here, and have very much enjoyed reading your posts....thank you for imparting your wisdom. I, as well, belong to the 2nd catagory (see my post for today, if you care to). I spoke to this same issue as ED is a demon I have fought all my life, ever since I was 4years ...

Well today is my 3rd day of nos.....I actually woke up hungry!*shock*...I guess thats becuz Im not stuffing myself before I go to bed anymore :D But I had my tall glass of ACV with a bit of agave in it, and the hunger is gone! So is my normal for me, wake up crappy headache. Heres hoping that it hel...

Saw this quote on Spark People site, and it has stuck in my head:

Hi Greta
Thank u for the warm welcome!

Hey Noel, thanks for the super-quick reply :D How did your class go? What do you teach? (I have a bunch of teachers in my family, Goddess bless em--I couldn't do it, don't have the patience) I thought that the homemade juice would be ok, certainly lower in cals that fruit juice, and full of health-g...

ok so I am new here and I have been looking through the old posts. One post had mentioned that if you ABSOLUTELY HAD to put somthing in your gut between meals, it would be ok to have a glass of milk or juice. I was at the store today and was going to pick up some V-8 to have on hand just in case I f...

did my "urban rangering" today :) walked up to Safeway and back to get my groceries.....about a mile and a half, round trip. beautiful day, cold and foggy :D i remember when I visited my friends in Germany they would walk to the market every other day or so to get the freshest ingredients possible. ...

Thanks for the tip Woesnes :D First thing I do when I get up is guzzle a 16oz glass of water into which a packet of Emergen-c gets mixed. This usually does the trick, but if the ACV helps tooo, I'll add that to my arsenal. If that doesnt cut it, then the excedrin migraine....then the imitrex, then l...

Well, it totally worked. Didn't have any hunger pangs for 4 hours after rising, as opposed to 2 hours. Eating my very moderate breakfast right now: mango smoothie, toast from my homemade bread, and strawberry cream cheese. I went to visit the Braggs site, and there is a lot of useful information the...

ok so it looks like a lot of ppl r using this to journal, and a few r using it to log food and cal intake, etc. I'm wondering if that is a good idea for me.....I know that in the past logging can trigger binging if I slip up.....def will be using the Habitcal....whatta great idea....if u slip up jus...

ohhhhh thank you Marc....I have some Braggs in the pantry***pads off to the kitchen***

I had forgotten all about this old "diet" trick....it really does have health benefits and DOES kill appetitie....PLUS the taste is mild and pleasant (the Braggs, anyway)
thank u!

Thanks a bunch Noel...that makes sense

day one for me. drank A LOT of hot tea with a splash of milk and splenda. LOVE Trader Joe's blueberry green tea...my fave. Also drank my 8 glasses + of water. Did 20 minutes on my Malibu Pilates ....these are not new habits, have been exercising and drinking my water consistently for a while. Simply...

Hello I stumbled upon this site via Sparkpeople...what I am reading here seems to make common sense. I am very OCD when it comes to food so not having to count/log/journal/ etc etc appeals to me. Just do it and get on with the rest of your life. Looking forward to getting to know you all. Oh, and I ...
