Inappropriate joke? Why yes!
A very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into Wal-Mart with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance. The Wal-Mart Greeter said pleasantly "Good morning, and welcome to Wal-Mart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?" The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say,…

A little irritated...
My husband has lost 30 of his 60 pound goal... I have lost 9 of my 25 pound goal.... His weight loss is much more noticeable so, when we run into people we haven't seen in a while, they are all over him about how great he looks (he DOES look great :love: ) Anyhow, last night we're at our son's Lacrosse game, it happened -…

Need a little reassurance..please
So, I have vowed to myself and other MFPers not to get on the scale for 2 weeks, and for the last 3 days I've been doing yardwork...(digging, raking, cultivating, trimming shrubs..)...I logged approximately half of my time as "general gardening", and since I am notorious for not eating enough, I have eaten nearly all of my…

exercise calories
I posted not that long ago about the nice weather and being able to exercise outdoors more. I only got a couple of responses and figure I'd try under a new title. I don't drive, so I have to take the bus, cab, or walk everywhere I go. Now that it is nicer out I am walking more. On top of that I am helping out my…

Joke....
A husband in his back yard is trying to fly a kite. He throws the kite up in the air, the wind catches it for a few seconds, then it comes crashing back down to earth. He tries this a few more times with no success. All the while, his wife is watching from the kitchen window, muttering to herself how men need to be told…

Eat those calories! Eat those calories!!! RAH RAH RAH!
Yes, I peeked at my scale again, even though I am supposed to be avoiding it.

I thought there was an error, so I got off then on then off then…

I am excited, I have lost 5 pounds since I began in January! I know that isn't much, but I had a baby about a year ago, and am fighting the last 15 or so of the baby weight. It was slow going, I could tell I was losing inches, but the scale never changed. 10 to go:drinker:

One month Anniversary/13 Pounds gone!
Well, I joined MFP one month ago today, and as of this morning, I have lost 13 pounds!!!!! LOTS more to go but that's about 10% of what I hope to lose, so I'm getting there. I feel great, too! Blood sugar terrific, HBP under control. When I started a month ago, it took me 80 minutes to ride 7 miles. Yesterday I did that…

Question: Am I supposed to consume the calories I am working
Question: Am I supposed to consume the calories I am working off? I am getting mixed information on this. I am supposed to be consuming 1400 calories a day. SO when I work out and burn 680 calories am I supposed to eat 2080 calories for the day? The website leads me to believe so, as does a friend of mine. And I do admit…

So glad it's a new month!!

So glad April is over - most of my huge stress issues have been resolved - got the check, paid off the trailer, fixed the leaky sink…

You guys have some really good advice!
So here goes another question... this one may be a little confusing, but bear with me. Ok, say that you eat fruit and a granola bar for breakfast, mcdonalds for lunch, and jimmy johns for dinner. The lunch and dinner were bad stuff, but the breakfast was good. And you went to the gym for an hour and burned enough calories…

Girlie Wisdom
Women over 50 don't have babies because they would put them down and forget where they left them. A friend of mine confused her Valium with her birth control pills... she has 14 kids but doesn't really care. One of life's mysteries is how a 2-pound box of chocolates can make a woman gain 5 lbs. My mind not only wanders, it…
