How many off you all after losing a significant amount of weight had some hair hair loss ? After losing 92 pounds in 18 months I noticed that my hair had thinned in the middle and along my temples. I thought I was aging prematurely until my hair dressing told me this was common with woman who lost significant amounts of weight in a short amount of time. She assured me that once I went back to a maintenance diet that taking Boitin should take care of the situation. Thankfully, after nine months...Sunday, February 15th 2009
I had a working weekend. I had my SIL and daughter at their fun run this Saturday. My job was to help the runners get food down them after the race. I think I made over 250 P&J sandwiches, cut up dozen of bagels, and in general made sure people got their free T-shirts.

I couldn't sleep last night and found myself hungry all day as well. It seemed I had this urge to e...Wednesday, February 11th 2009
Today I set out to make a grocery list and a menu that reflects a tighter budget. I think I have come up with some good recipes that will please the budget and palate. One goal is also to make a few new recipes each week. Another goal is to make at least two recipes that make a lot so that they can be frozen and stored for later meals. These frozen meals are to be used for lunches and when I don't feel like it or can't make a meal. So far these meals have also served the purpose of helping out ...
