| Health & Support | Wheat/Gluten Sensitivity? | Oct 27 2009 12:35 (UTC) |

My son has been on a gluten free diet for almost 6 months now. His has been tested for Celiac disease once when he was 2 (he is 6 now) but it came back neg. He still had a lot of issues with eating and is underweight so the doctor decided to try a gluten free diet to see it it would help. It has help and he is eating more and slowly gaining some weight. After the 6 months he will be put back on a regular diet to see if his issues come back. You could always try going gluten free to see if it helps. It is a lot of work and you really need to check everything. It can also get really expensive which is why you need to make sure your not eating anything with gluten in it. I don't think you need to do it for 6 months but since my son was slowly gaining weight the doctor decided to keep him on it longer. And you can't be tested for Celiacs if your on a gluten free diet unless its the genetic testing |

| Weight Loss | 5'2ers, what's your goal weight? | Jul 27 2009 14:44 (UTC) |

I'm 137lbs and for my first goal I'd like to hit 120lbs. I think I just would like to see how my body is at that point. I'm a small frame so I'm guessing I could go to 110lbs and be ok but we'll see. |

Hey Here are 2 website that have a lot of different ideas for lunch. They are both vegan websites but you could also add cheese to something if you wanted. www.veganlunchbox.blogspot.com and www.fatfreevegan.com. ; I've made a bunch from each website and they always come out great. My fave is BBQ seitan from fat free vegan. Vegetarian food is expensive to buy but if you can make your own it isn't that bad after you first buy the stuff you need. I remember when I became vegetarian in high school my parents were less then happy but now its 11 years later and my 6 year old is one too. |

you don't think a 28 year old could have a life long wish to get a pony? |

I know that was my first choice when he was eating wheat flour but when I tried it with the gluten free flour mix it came out so heavy. Gluten free bread is pretty dense with eggs but with the flax it came out like a gaint brick. I'm hoping I'll find something that will work but he is having a hard time with the change that I'm just trying to make it taste as best I can. I'm just glad I make the veggie burgers because I can't find any in the stores that doesn't have wheat in it or cost less then $6 for 4. |

You should try making seitan its really good. I like making BBQ seitan on the grill. My son just turned 6 and has been a vegetarian for 2 years now. He decided on his own. I've been vegetarian for 10-12 years I really can't remember. I never really talked to him about being vegetarian but I did make sure he knew what he was eating. If he was eating a hamburger I just explained that it came from a cow. I don't think kids really understand were meat comes from. I nanny and I remember when the little boy I take care of tried telling my son that it just comes from the store. He won't drink cow milk because he knows that its for baby cows. We were vegan but since he has been taken off gluten we did start eating cow cheese and local eggs again. I'm hoping once I get use to baking and cooking without gluten we will be able to go vegan again. I hate having to feed him eggs but nothing else works. |

You should try roasting chick peas so good. I sprinkle a little garlic powder and nut. yeast on it before roasting. There is lots of vegetarian junk food (which is why I'm over weight now) You'd be surprised what is actually vegetarian. www.goveg.com is a great website that has list of foods that are vegetarian as well as vegan. I've been vegetarian for 12 years now and my son for almost 2. I was vegan but with my son not being able to have gluten it was just to hard finding enough food for him to eat. We still drink rice milk but started having cow cheese again and eggs for baking. But I buy from people that I know so I know how the aniamls are being treated. At some point I'd like to be vegan again. |

Hello everyone, Today just felt so long to me. I jumped on scale this morning it said I was 118 I keep gaining weight. Its driving me nuts! But I did go jogging today and I ate a lot better then I have been. I'm hoping by next monday to at least lose 1-2 pounds. My sons father called me out of the blue today first time in 6 months and asked to take him on Sunday. I wish I could say no but I feel so guilty that he is missing out on the whole having a father thing. Everyone tells me I should be happy that he is finally putting an effort in but I can't. I'm an emotional eater but I'm not going to let this ruin my week thank goodness I have no junk food in the house I need to just keep from buying some now! Hope everyone else had a good day. |

Hello everyone!! I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving! I went on the scale this morning and gained 1 lb not to bad. I just wish all the food would just go away though I feel like I've been eating non-stop since wednesday(actually eating yummy stuffed mushrooms as I type ). I'll give myself the rest of the weekend off and starting monday I'll start jogging and the cardio again. I just can't let myself get lazy. |

Reading about what everyone else is cooking is making it even worst!! I can not wait till tomorrow. I'm in charge of breakfast. I just finished baking bran muffins, pumpkin muffins and blueberry lemon muffins. My apple cake is in the oven now and its covered with cinn and brown sugar it smells so good. I only have to do the coffee cake and I'm done. I've eaten (I mean sampled) about 2 of each kind of muffin I don't think I'll be able to eat any tomorrow. To bad people would notice that a slice was cut out of the apple and coffee cake or I'd be trying that as well. |

My thanksgiving has already started. I've been snacking on whatever I take out of the oven. I think this might be a gaining week for me I can already tell. I've been jogging and doing everything the same but I just can feel it. Oh well. Maybe it won't be that bad. I hope everyone else is doing well. |

Hey I'm from MA just north of Boston and a huge Pats and Red Soxs fan:) I have a 5 year old son. We are vegan so Thanksgiving is a little different. This year were going to my brothers house but I'll just bring our own food. I know it doesn't sound good but Tofurkey is yummy!! Another good thing about bringing your own food is that once its gone you can't eat anymore. Then we all go up together to Maine to visit my grandmother and some other family members. It should be fun. My son just wants it to be over just one more hurdle to X-mas. |

Hello everyone! I'm back from NH only went up for the night. My son had a great time(my little cousin is the same age as him) Went to see Twilight with my aunt first movie with a PG-13 rating in a long time. I feel so much better I really think taking a break from the exercising and eating right is a must(at least for me!!) And since I don't have to get on the scale till next saturday I have a whole week to work it off. Well hope everyone else had a good weekend. |

Hey everyone I'm the same way AJ I hate feeling guilty about doing or not doing something I should of. I'm going up to NH tomorrow to visit family with my son so I'm dreading all the snacking that will be going on. If its there I'll eat it so good job with the no snacking AJ I'm hoping I'll be able to say no. I think I'm coming down with something I'm so tired I'm going to try to at least do some cardio tonight. I'm hoping for a 2 lb lost tomorrow but I'll be happy to see any smaller number. |

Hi everyone, I had such a lazy day today I really don't know whats wrong with me. Usually when my son is at preschool I go for my run today I got ready started fine and about 30 min in I just didn't want to go anymore. Watched Wall E again with my son and all the kids I take care of. Took him to my moms house because he is staying the night so I can go to work early tomorrow and he doesn't have school. And thats it I'm in bed when I should be doing my cardio but I just don't have the energy to move. I really hope I'm not getting sick. Hopped on the scale this morning just to see how I was doing(usually I only go on scale on Saturday) And I've lost 2 lbs! Of couse with me in bed stuffing my face with pita bread and taboule salad right now it might not be the same number on Saturday. Oh well I really don't have to many off days and tomorrow will be better. AJ-My son Nathan is 5 could be in KG but I decided to hold him back a year. |

I'm watching Wall E again! We just got the movie yesterday and we've watched 3 times already. We have a ticket system so he gets 4 30min tickets a day and he is allowed to save them. He's known the movie was coming out so he has been saving one ticket a day so yesterday had enough to watch it twice and saved all his tickets today to watch it again. I also saw it twice in the theater its a cute movie but I really don't know how many more times I'll be able to watch it might be retired by the weekend. I'm so glad its about 2 hours long so there is no extra tickets for him to save! And for bed time what story does he want but the Wall E books to read again for the 100th time. Really not liking robots tonight. |

Hey Aj I'm sure I look weird running but outside everyone is busy I don't really think about it. I would love to join a gym but my son goes to bed at 7:30 so my nights are pretty much over at 7. The kid needs 12 hours I wish I could sleep 7 never mind getting 12 a night. I figure if I can keep up the exercise at least till after x-mas I really won't have to worry to much about all the extra snacking I'm doing. I love the holidays and I love to bake so its kinda hard with all the carbs around. I do a cardio dvd(the biggest loser one I love that show) at night when he goes to bed. Glad everyone is doing well. |

Thanks glad to see I'm not the only one up still. My son is great he is all over the place and never stops talking. I use to think it was a girl thing but he changed my mind. Mine likes to build things I have cardboard boxes(I mean robots) all over the place. I'm a nanny so I take care of a 10 year old girl, 6 year boy and my niece who is 5 months. I'm not looking forward to my son being ten. There is nothing that 10 year old doesn't know it makes me laugh when she had to explain what webkinz were I really think she thought something was wrong with me because I didn't know how cool they were. I'm just starting to get my life back in order and its been an up hill battle but its getting better. You would think with all my running around that I'd be able to fall asleep at a decent time. |
