You know that person that you can't even stand the sight of?
Well I'm sitting in my Art History class right now...I know, I'm a terrible student. But anyway, there is this guy in my class who was also in my art education class, who is also in my drawing class, who was also in my printmaking class--HE'S EVERYWHERE. And he thinks he's just the greatest thing since ice cream...and ice…

What has you up at this wee hour??
Ok so I know that it may not be 3am everywhere, but everyone has a wee hour. I have a 2 year old daughter that still doesn't sleep through the night. If that is bad enough she is prone to throwing up if she gets overheated or really upset. Well I think both occurred this morning at 2 am so I am up with her until she…

A Woman's Week at the Gym...
Dear Diary, For my birthday this year, I purchased a week of personal training at the local health club. Although I am still in great shape since being a high school football cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try. I called the club and made my reservations with a personal…

MFP get-together in your area!
I think it would be awesome for us to not only be a community online but to get to know each other outside of MFP and encourage each other face-to-face. I can think of at least 3 people right off the top of my head that are within 2 hours of me, boomboom011, KnightofGod, and LittleMissAngi. Guys, wouldn't it be great to…

I Got Locked Out
I cleared my cookies today so when I tried to get back in here I had been locked out , I forgot my password. Boy was that scary. I really love this site & it has really helped me keep track of my intake & output & lose a few lbs. so when I couldn't remember my password I felt a little panicky. Isn't that silly?

Bucket List
A Bucket List- "A list of things to do before you die. Comes from the term "kicked the bucket"." Alot of conversations about this going round the office today, so I thought it would be nice for us to share our top 10 ambitions/things we want to do before we're 30/50/100/kicked the bucket (you get the idea). They dont have…

Tornado Warning Sirens
I used to hate those sirens. I was really annoyed everytime they went off. I don't live in an area where tornados are common so I thought that there was really no point and they were just irritating. I was wrong. Last night a tornado hit my condo complex. I was lucky that my boyfriend insisted we go into the basement. I…

What was your motivation to start a healthier lifestyle?
What was your "aha" moment? The moment you decided to lose weight and get healthy! Mine was being put on blood pressure medicine. That scared me! I want to be here for my kids. I have lost almost 30 pounds and lowered it but not enough yet to get off meds....yet!

Looking for some ACTIVE friends!!
I just went through and cleared tons of my friends on here were not very active. I'm definitely looking for people who will be support and talkative! Lets see.. I've almost hit my 180 days of logging in (not too bad!) And in that time I've lost 42 lbs. After being sick for over a week and gaining back 2 lbs I am back on…

Tiny Little Victories
Everybody always counts towards their big victories, but how about the mini ones. You know, your face feels thinner, your pants did up easier, you don't have that boob gap on your blouses anymore. What are your little victories? I think mine is that I came back here to get a fresh start after I quit 8 weeks ago. How about…

RANT - I am SOOO mad...
My 9 year old was visiting an "aunt" (not blood) 4 hours away in Massachusetts this week. She took him to FLORIDA "for the day" without my knowledge. They're back now and everyone's fine but I am SOOOO pissed! HOW do you take a 9 year old kid that you are not blood related to and take him on his first ever plane trip all…

My brothers are giving me a full-blown panic attack
Okay, so, I didn't know where to put this topic, but I figured chat would be good enough. I wasn't going to post a topic either and just keep it between my MFP friends on my status, but I'm really freaked out. My older brother has had two chicken parmesan sandwiches from dominos, 4 bags of doritos, and 2 slices of large…

Toenail issues....HELP!
One of my big toenails is yellow on the top and my toe is swollen. What should i do? Is this a fungus? Should I go to a foot doctor? Has anyone had similar problems? Are there any home remedies that work? I read online that you can use a disinfectant like tea tree oil if it is fungus.

Biggest Loser (Silly) Rant
Jillian Michaels always asks people why they got so big. D*** it Jillian! Not everybody has to have a reason other than "food tastes good." No, no one will admit it, but if I ever meet you and you ask me that, I'll tell it your face. :) Lol. "No, it's not because my cat died when I was 2-years-old. No, it's not because I…

Because We need to Take Care of Ourselves...
I was watching a neat craft show that had neat holiday gift ideas... One of the ones that stuck out the most to me was making your own Body Scrubs.. They made theirs out of sugar (which is the recipe I found) but you can use salt and coffee as well. We have to remember as we are taking care of our weight and becoming more…

Hard work paid off...
I was talking about the suicide girls with someone and jokingly thought to myself I should find out how they do that...so for grinnies I applied(to their real official) website thinking 3000+ applicants a day even if they look at it they will pass it by. I guess Im not as scary looking as I thought cause the emailed me…

Flies and other flying insects trick!
I mostly work out in my garage and ran across this neat trick for flies, wasp and bees.... Fill a zip-lock bag half full of water. Add 4 or 5 pennies. Seal it shut. Hang it in an area you need coverage... Like magic, all the flying insects disappear! It Really Works!

Pet Peeves!!!
I know there's a post or two about this somewhere, and I apologize for starting it again and especially if it is someone's pet peeve. I answer the phones for 90 different clinics, my biggest pet peeve is when people return our calls and say "Hi, it's me, someone just called" Why can't people identify themselves?!?
