    Weight loss? Any supporters?

    I think I've had at least 500 calories today...so another 500 and I am done. I'm going to make a pita pizza with basil from my garden. I just finished 20 mins of a yoga sequence. Let's keep it going! My fiance said I felt skinnier the other day; that's one of his best compliments! :D

    Weight loss? Any supporters?

    Sorry to hear about you getting ill, RFF! That's one of the worst ways to lose weight. I've eaten a stalk of celery with peanut butter and a few of my garden tomatoes. Lots of water. I'm not a soda or a coffee drinker. I'll let you know how I do with supper..I'm making homemade gnocchi with...

    Weight loss? Any supporters?

    I don't like doing the websites...but would it be ok to just have a notebook, write down what I ate and the calories, then post it up? I have about 10 lbs to lose. Oh yeah, I should probably buy a scale LOL I'll post up the links later. I'm at home for lunch from work and I gotta go back in a...

    Weight loss? Any supporters?

    I will join this "support group"! I recently started doing yoga a few days ago in my apartment. I just watch videos on Youtube. I have to say, the exercises/poses work very well! The first time I did it for 20 mins straight, I was sweating more than if I had run a mile. The next day I was really...

    Illinois...

    Thank you for the tip about finding eggs! I think I have a couple of leads I will try contacting. :) I used to have chickens when I was still living in California, but gave them up because we were moving and because I didn't think one neighbor appreciated them...Agh. So I'm waiting until we get...

    Illinois...

    Thank you!! I didn't even know about this, but I'll definitely make a point of going just to ogle the chickens! Oh, and does anyone know who can sell me eating eggs in the Boone County/Winnebago County area? I don't have chickens at the moment.

    When is it safe to put chicks outside permanently?

    What temperatures are you getting at night? I think the most important thing is to keep them away from cold, drafty areas. I would put them outside during the day and then bring them back inside at night until it hits around 50 steadily at night (that is what I did with mine last year). And, it...

    Treats for 2 week olds?

    I'll second the yogurt. Good for them and they go wild after they realize it tastes good! I also try to limit their treats at this time because I want them to eat more chick starter. Your post is much older now so it's almost time to be able to give other treats.

    Raw Milk

    Just got back in Illinois and I am planning on buying some raw milk from a farmer...The good part is that we will be able to take a tour of their farm and see the cows before we buy the milk. :woot

    Illinois...

    I just moved back to N. Illinois from CA (I did live here for college) but was wondering if anyone in Winnebago county (or counties around it) are selling eating eggs? We have driven around the Roscoe/Rockton area but found one farm that sells a doz for $4.

    Dumpster Diving-Garage Sale-Goodwill-Thrift Store & Craigslist Finds

    I'm moving so I wanted to find some luggage. First went to a store that sells items from department stores..the luggage was at least $50 even for a small one. So I went to Goodwill and we found all sorts of luggage in various conditions. I found a Samsonite one that is in very good condition and...

    Raw Milk

    Yes, the website is definitely one-sided. The person who wrote that piece was an undersecretary for the USDA. It was only helpful because of the State Laws tab, otherwise reading that article turned me off to the rest of the website.

    Raw Milk

    I just read an article that made some ridiculous claims. I don't know if you ladies & guys have read it, too, but here it is: http://www.realrawmilkfacts.com/raw-milk-news/story/Should-There-Be-A-Raw-Milk-Law-To-Protect-Kids-From-Their-Parents/ The raw milk from Jersey cows that they sell at a...

    What State would You Choose?

    Not to California..the rent/housing is high, gas prices are high, but the weather is always nice. If I weighed the pros and cons, the cons would sink the scale.

    Are you preparing for not-so-good-times ahead

    That is the price I was seeing on the distributor from Florida. Around $250-$300 for a 210 to 240-watt panel. That is pretty good!

    Are you preparing for not-so-good-times ahead

    Oh I should have clarified. We will most likely have septic system and running water. The septic system I think is required before building in the place we are looking to buy land. For us we have not prepared much physically, in terms of having shelves and shelves of canned or dried goods. But...
