I had never heard of it either. I am in the process of trying to figure it out with my dr we are doing a ton of testing...UGH It is very frustraiting. There are quite a few times where I get sick and then look back and realize that something had sugar in it. The only plus side to it is I have lost 10lbs since the middle of august ( I am a very slow loser and usually this would take me 4 months to lose) and in 3 weeks I have lost an inch in my waist. So it's deffinatly put me back on track to lose the rest of the weight. I had never heard of quinoa before but looked it up and think I might have to try to find it and give it a try.

Are the almonds salted? that could make a difference also.

I have to say the hourglass isn't much fun either....I wear a size 8 but I still have a ton of weight to lose still....and being large on top I have to buy shirts that are tight in the chest and lose in the stomach......I think all shapes have there good points and bad points!!!!!!

I feel your pain. Don't give up even if you are not loseing right now you are deffinatly getting healthier!!! I think maybe upping your calories for mantinance for a few day's might be a good thing to try.....Also like the above poster try to find things around the house you can do to build muscle so even if you arnt loseing weight you might be loseing inches. I have not lost any weight since I got to my half way point way back but I have gone down a pants size and my legs are more muscular..... maybe take a two week break from the scale and take your measurments instead....Just a few thoughts Either way YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! your body is probably just adjusting!

I would imagine that's for fishing with a spinner or something.....If you just sit there useing a bobber then I don't think you would burn much....but with a spinner on you have to cast and reel it in the whole time you are fishing....So I can see that number being right for that type of fishing......

Just focus on getting better....If you can try to stomach some fluids like chicken or vegtable stock.....any juices....or even popsicles or jello....don't worry about counting calories just eat whatever you can. Hope you start feeling better soon.

I agree on the step thing...I added the feet for thick carpet for a little bit higher and am thinking of makeing a board thing to put it on to make it higher Because I think it's a great work out especially if you dance around while doing it.....

LOL if all it did was weight you it would be an expensive scale....but if you already have a wii you might as well get it...it is a scale plus a game plus a bmi calculator plus an exercise tool....hmm sounds like alot more then a scale to me....but maybe I am just biased because I am a gamer and have a wii already and Love wii fit......non the less the fact that my husband and both of my kids love working out on it.....As for weight it get's my weight spot on everytime...if you have kids that want to use it to I can say it barely picks up the weight of my 7 year old (44lbs) even though it say's that it's for 6 and up ....and the weight limit on it is like 350lbs....

Wasn't sure so looked around and found this:

"While low intakes of calcium can result in deficiency and undesirable health conditions, excessively high intakes of calcium can also have adverse effects. Adverse conditions associated with high calcium intakes are hypercalcemia (elevated levels of calcium in the blood), impaired kidney function and decreased absorption of other minerals "

Hope this helps! :)

Don't deny yourself!!! IF it's something you really want then find a way to work it into your calories!

I have only bought a few pieces here and there but I bought them when my pants where falling off of me...litterally!!! but it's up to you maybe buy one pair now and a belt to use with your other ones.....

I ran in and got mine this morning!!! :) It works fine on my throw rug....It was a blast!!! Some of the exercises are harder then others but I deffinatly feel like I got a work out! I of course had to try all the exercises!!! :) FUN. My only advise/suggestion is make sure when you are doing your exercises to flex your muscles when appropriate...so when your doing the jacknife one flex abs etc.....and remember to breath through them.....But can deffinatly see myself useing it every day or atleast 5 days a week...... :)

The best thing I found was they have great fruit and veggie stands!!!! So if you eat good lunches...salad sandwich type of thing then if you are needing a snack just stop by there and pick up some fruit and veggies (they where amazingly decent priced to)

Most likely you just couldn't tell it was diet.....I have to have hubby or friend check and make sure my soda is diet.....I did realize now that if I try a regular soda it tastes like syrup!!! So most likely it was diet.....if you are ever concerened about that you can ask them to make sure (because it would be extremely dangerous for a diabetic if by chance it wasn't diet)

I am going to be loseing a little less then that but wanted to let you know you CAN do it!!! and as for the tummy tuck you will have to see how your skin does some people have more elasticity to there skin then others so it just differs depending on your body....same for the girls some lose them and some don't....
