The one thing I always recommend is lots of fiber. They have clear Benefiber that you can put in your water and can't even taste it. I read in Womans World that Tara from the last seasons Biggest Loser did this a lot to curb her cravings. The artcilce says that fiber is a great way to trick your body into releasing the apptetite controlling hormone leptin.

BB gun sounds neat. Or maybe a pocket knife.

I am thinking about a camera or a camcorder. He and his younger brother love to get my camera and take pictures or record short scenes on it. Maybe walkie talkies, watch, gift card, books, or an mp3 player?

Along with this, I would give her acidophillus.

Thanks, Asta. I do think this might be the problem.

Thanks, Janice!

Thank you for all your help! This is for my little brother who is at a community college. I will let him know.

Would TTC DVDs be helpful?

Could you be anemic? I had those symptoms when I was anemic. But I also believe it could be low blood pressure or allergies/sinus infection.

Google Couch potato to 5 k. That is the only way I was able to biuld up my endurance. Also, have someone run with you, the accountability works wonders!

I have a dvd with Bob form TBL and it has the awful music too. So disappointed with the music, but the workout is good. I also got the Wii Fitness Trainer and it has awful music also.

In Jillian's book Master Your Metabolism she says that there are power foods (and I think food combinations) that help your metabolism out, but you have to watch calories too.

I would freeze them and use them for smoothies.

The power steering pump had to be replaced twice. They wanted me to pay($600) for it the second time after only having the car for 2 years. It would make a horrible grinding noise when I turned when the weather was cold. I called Honda directly and they paid for it, since I told them I did a google search and this was a problem known to them. I also had to have the brakes replaced early since they were warped. I have some kind of loud pitchy noise when I step on the gas when the weather is warm. I have the navigation system that has never worked right.

I would not want my child having his mouth on something that someone else had put up to their mouth. Nasty.

but in the pilot and another episode Shirona(sp?) says something that I think is just vulgar, and she and the captain say SoB quite a bit. I usually tivo them and skip through the parts I think are inappropriate.

You really shoud read Master Your Metabolism. According to her book she can help with all the things you mentioned- insulin resistance, etc. She tells you what to eat when to eat and how these things will regulate your hormones, and help with insulin resistance and losing the weight that just won't come off.

I have all the symptoms of thyroid problems but the tests come back fine. I have killed myself with exercise and diet with no change too! But I just started Master Your Metabolism by Jillian Michaels and finally lost two pounds in less than a week and I haven't been exercising! Go figure. In her book she says if you follow her plan you will lose weight because the diet gets your metabolism going. You might look into it. I have only been on it for less than a week (and I have cheated some too!) but hopefully the results will conitnue. Last year I did the South Beach diet for two months. I followed their diet plan and exercised a lot and only lost 4 pounds! Of course my dh did the same thing and dropped 25! I haven't been too hungry on this plan but felt a little weak yesterday. My dh says he thinks it is just my body getting use to the diet.

http://www.breadbeckers.com/classes.htm I went to one of these classes years ago and really learned a lot.

I just got this book from the library yesterday. What she says makes sense and I am hoping it works for me. No matter how much I exercise and watch what I eat I can't lose anything. :glare:

We went through VRBO.com since a friend had used this site. I love that you can read comments by people that have rented the condos.

I think they were about 6 dollars on clearance about a week and a half ago.

We Have Verizon too and have had the same problem a couple of times. WE just called Verizon and they would let us change our plan to cover the minutes for that month and we could call back and have our plan set back to where it was before. Just this last month my son went 700 minutes over our plan(we have 1400 minutes a month) and they moved our plan to the 2100 for the month so we ended up paying twenty dollars more to change the plan instead of the 300 dollar in overages. At first they said they don't really do this anymore, but somehow my dh got them to do it.

I was like this with my fourth child. The doctor said my iron was in the normal range but just a little on the low side. I asked if I could take an iron supplement to see if it would help and they said that was fine. After about 3 days on iron I felt like a whole new person. I picked up hemaplex(sp?) from the vitamin shop down the road and didn't suffer any ill side effects that can come with iron supplementation.
