I need advice asap...
So my family is up for the weekend. My mom is making tons of food. Shes making rachel ray's sloppy veg-head job sandwiches for lunch today. The thing is, she didn't follow the recipe and changed it just a bit. I have no idea what all she put in it...she doesn't measure exact amounts and she threw all the cans and boxes…

Take The Steering Wheel!!!-- Words of Wisdom -- May 22, 2009
Good morning. Never let other people determine your life's outcome! We will all mess up from time to time.. And If you're gonna mess up, it might as well be your decision NOT someone else's. It's cool to listen to folks sometimes. (But remember!!) Never be so open minded that your brains fall out! :heart: God is Love:heart:

What am i doing WRONG?
I started my new way of life here in the beginning of March. I dropped about 15 pounds in 3 weeks, then zip. I dropped my calorie intake to 1200 and started working out every day for an hour to an hour and a half. I have gone nowhere for the last 3 or 4 weeks, and even though i'm not giving up, I just don't get it. I am…

What would you change first?

It has rained every day which has limited any outdoor activity and really put a damper on my mood which has also limited any indoor…
