F- My husband died unexpectedly in June. Every aspect of my life has suffered since that fateful day

Horrid. My husband collapsed and died during his daily run on June 16th. My son was coming home from South Dakota on June 29 and bring his (serious) girlfriend to meet us. Instead of a joy-filled week of socializing, we had a memorial service. Worst summer of my life. I don't see fall being...

129 year old Victorian in SW Pennsylvania. January's gas bill was $271 ($50 more than our usual winter monthly bill) and the electric bill was $121 ($40 more than usual) About what I expected, especially since we were running space heaters near pipes.

No earth shattering tips or tricks, just eating below 1600 calories and 50-75 carbs (total, not net...net carbs are between 20-40) with a focus on fat (I don't worry about saturated fat, but avoid trans-fat and vegetable oils) and protein. Do you log your food? MyFitnessPal, spark People and...

I'm diabetic, so carbs are NOT my friend. I've been very successful in losing weight (130 lbs) and achieving control of my blood glucose (A1c 5.1) due to a low-carb (ketogenic) diet

I also tried the recipe and was underwhelmed, as I have been by quite a few of my Pinterest experiments

I was on Bourbon Street and can't describe most of the costumes I saw on any board. :woohoo:

I L-O-V-E my triple and would definitely want another

With diabetes, I used my glucometer to establish my own personal glycemic index.I limit myself to a 1/2 c of berries, or 1/2 a medium apple. Any other fruit, especially in the morning, which was my prime fruit time, raises my blood sugar more than the 10-15 points i find acceptable for a meal.

You have high triglycerides. From your other post, I wasn't clear whether or not you do have diabetes. Both are helped by lowering your carb intake. Ditch the cheerios and milk. Limit the fruit. Ditch the rice....brown or white. I lowered my triglycerides from 136 to 89 by eliminating...

I've got Glenn Miller, Eminem and Hank Williams Jr on the same workout playlist. My kid has informed me that combination goes beyond eclectic and into eccentric :confused3

As a teen, i was expected to mow 1.5 acres with a push mower ... in a checkerboard pattern no less, edge and rake the clippings. If i complained, I got to do it on Friday night. I learned quickly. As a teen, my son was expected to mow 2.5 acres with a mulching tractor (no raking), trim and...

QTF! What worked for me is switching to a low carb-high fat-moderate protein diet. Due to diabetes, celiac sprue and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, I've eliminated grains completely...no wheat, corn, rice, oats, etc. I severely restrict legumes (1/8 c serving only) and fruits (eat berries only)...

What worked for me is the complete opposite of everything that's been listed. I now eat reat meat at least twice/week - generally a strip steak and/or cheeseburger (no bun) I eat 4-8 eggs per week ( the whole egg) I no longer restrict fat - I eat PLENTY of coconut oil (saturated fat), bacon...

I had a taco bar for my son's graduation party. I did serve other foods, but that's because I'm an over-achiever :cool1:, not because it was "necessary" We served (in a roaster with a buffet server insert) 1. shredded chicken 2. carnitas 3. ground beef I had extra inserts and every...

Can't wait! I've been anxiously waiting to see how "A Storm of Swords" is handled for Season 3!

I spent $2200, including having a t-shirt quilt made as a gift for my son which also served as a backdrop for the cake and memory table. We had more than 150 people for my son's graduation last year. My husband comes from a large Italian family and we live in an area where large graduation...
