Sarah Palin lashed out at Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" campaign. (TLC/AP) (CBS) Americans don't usually get fitness advice from Sarah Palin, but last week the mother of five lashed out at Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" program to help curb childhood obesity by helping kids eat well and stay active. "Take her anti-obesity thing that she is on. She is on this kick, right. What she is telling us is she cannot trust parents to make decisions for their own children, for their own families in what we should eat," Palin said on Laura Ingraham's national . "Instead of a government thinking that they need to take over and make decisions for us according to some politician or politician's wife's priorities, just leave us alone, get off our back, and allow us as individuals to exercise our own God-given rights to make our own decisions and then our country gets back on the right track." The "God-given rights" Palin hopes to protect apparently involve not having to listen to healthy eating advice, learning about portion size and encouraging kids to play more sports and watch less TV. According to the Centers for Disease Control, childhood obesity has tripled in the last 30 years, putting millions of kids at risk for diabetes, cardiovascular disease and bone and joint disorders. As for Palin's own family, exercise is a priority. According to a Wall Street Journal profile, the former Alaska governor's parents were marathon runners and Palin herself runs three miles a day. She even named her first son Track because he was born at the beginning of the running season. "Conventional running is my sanity," she told the paper. The Palins eat well too. "My family and I eat a healthy diet heavy in wild Alaskan seafood, moose, caribou and fresh fruit," she said I wish my parents had had the education and push to feed us healthy. I think what Michele is doing is great! If we can change the way America eats we will save so many kids from hard lives.

I like the berry flavor, no iron taste and no stomach upset.

So I have been in the stall from hell. I started birth contol pill about 3 weeks ago I put on 4 pound without changing my diet one bit. So I stopped taking the pill at week 2 as I was just bloating and got headaches the whole time. So I have been off the pill for 8 days now and my weight has not budged. I read to up my calories to trick my body so I started keeping track on myfatscecret.com and found if I was lucky I was getting about 500 calories a day. I started looking for healty ways so add some more calories, so far that has been adding a protein shake in my day and adding an afternoon snack of cheese and lunch meat. I have to admit It is a lot of work to get in the amount of food that I do, the snacks are really really hard to fit in. I am just plain full. One would think on so little calories I would be dropping the weight right and left. So I need some tip on breaking the stall and ways to get in healthy snacks.

I have been averaging about 20 grams of fat per day.

I take the big fish oil caplets whole. I just make sure to take them one at time with about an hour in between as when I put it in water to see what happens the gelitan skin became quite large.

I would ask to switch. They sent me home on lanzoprazole and I asked to switch to Nexium. Nexium settles down that rumbling and the confusing hunger feeling is gone too. I do think time helped too, I do still get a lot of noises and burps when I eat.

I was at the Dollar Tree last night and they had Hazelnut syrup. It has zero everything! It is made from Surcose(sp?) so I know it will have to be in small amounts, beside greek yogurt do you have any ideas of what else to make with it?

Best of luck! Happy Sleeve Day!

Reasons I chose Sleeve over bypass: Less risks and complications Able to take Nsaids Loss of hunger ( I now have control over what goes in my mouth) No Vitamin deficiencies No DUMPING syndrome Less chance of regain. (some 50 percent of bypass regain all of their weight and then some) Sleeve is effective for the rest of my life, Rny only for 2 years Sure I could eat the wrong things with the sleeve, I choose not to, but even if I ate the wrong thing, let me tell ya there is just no room for much food at all and believe it or not even after only about 3 or 4 bites of a meal I am TOTALLY satisfied as if I just had a huge meal. I really don't know how anyone could eat too much with the sleeve as that one bite too much causes instant discomfort and then the food has to go!

Could be some irritation in the lining of the esophagus or top of stomach. Do you take PPI's like Nexium? I had this feeling right when I started eating more solid foods and again last night. I took some gasx in the strip form and it worked wonders getting rid of that feeling.

Yes, Gasx strips are my new best friend! Occasionally at 8 weeks out I still need them.

Heres to an OPEN bed and a smooth surgery!:wink0:

If you are having normal movements just spaced out I would recommend Bennifiber. However if you are having trouble going when you go then add Miralx daily ASAP. Constipation can be horrible on the high protein diet.

Congrats and best of luck! Sorry your family is not overly supportive, but you will find lots of support here!

I take my vitamins religiously. At first I fought with myself, but when I thought about why I had this surgery,, to get healthy. I want to be healthy, not sick in some other way as a result of trying to get healthy. On the plus side, I have managed NOT to get the awful flu and cold going around all around me and I attribute that to the vitamins.

I am so frustrated I could scream. I am 9 weeks out, about 2 weeks ago I started taking the pill for pcos and my weight shot up 4 pounds in two days and stayed. I quit taking the pill a week later and my weight has not budged a bit. I am not cheating, I keep my carbs under 30 grms a day. I added my calories up and I was averaging 550 to 600 hundred a day. So I tried upping my calories the last 2 days. I managed to get an extra 100 in each day and for all that work I gain another pound! I exercise 30 minutes each morning. (step) What the heck is going on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Istn't that great! Every so often I look at my legs and wonder whose they are, or my wrists and fingers! I don't think the head will ever catch up and remember.

Ok I have to admit I have not been adding up my calories so I just went and did it, Today I had 550 calories and I would say that pretty much represents my days. For Breakfast Protein shake: 110 Snack greek yogurt with berries 145 lunch 3 turkey meat balls and some green Beans 150 A bite of a bagel (not typical) 35 calories dinner 2 Asian spring rolls (trader joes) 100 calories Each meal I could not get any more food in, so now I am am making myself have some apple with almond butter. How do I get more calories in if I am full??? I frustrated because I am in a stall and I am sure it is from starvation mode. I excerise 30 minutes in the morning doing step aerobics on the Wii.

The scale GOD was GOOD for New Years! I am at 199! I officially have not been at this weight since high school over 20 years ago! This is going to be an AWESOME NEW ME in the NEW YEAR!!!!!

Awww Kevin, you are a sweetheart!

Where's Tiff???? I can't quite see her

B= Premier Protein shake L= turkey avocado roll up on a carb control tortilla with salsa S= greek yogurt with SF syrup and blueberries D= taco salad made with ground turkey 2 multi vit 2 calciums 2 fish oils 2 vit b12 bennifiber and miralax

This has been such a huge problem for me since I have IBS and always had the exact opposite problem for the last 20 years. My doc said Collace every day to no avail. So tonight I went and got Miralx and Bennifber and took both! If things don't get going..............................

I got a Wii fit Plus for Cmas and I have been messing with the WII part for a a week or so doing some of the sports. Last night I got the WiI Fit Plus board hooked up and I LOVE IT! Worked out 30 minutes last night and 30 minutes tonight. I really like the Step activity. The board measures your weight and BMI and then tells you how many calories you burned. I have not ran since I can remember when I actually ran in place tonight AND finished the activity!
