    Confession: I just ate 2 tablespoons of crunchy peanut butter that I brought to have with my apple out of the container with a spoon. The apple is still in my lunch bag wondering where its peanut butter friend ran off to.

    I love crunchy peanut butter, but my better half likes creamy. I only keep creamy in the house so I'm less tempted to inhale it. Natural peanut butter is also good for that because having to stir the crap out of it to eat it is WAY too much effort. Ha!

    My confession today is that since I got my FitBit and got back into regular workouts, I haven't upped my calories, because I'm really enjoying the "woosh" I'm getting, even though I know I'm not eating enough for my current output. To make up for this guilt, I weigh on Friday, enjoy the loss, then spend the weekend eating whatever the hell I want, then spend the week netting low again to see another loss.

    I ate an entire pint of Ben & Jerry's (Salted Caramel Core) on Saturday and a bunch of cookies on Sunday. I've logged them as smaller parts of this week's entries so I wasn't 1000 calories over...

    I've never, ever been able to do a pull-up in my life. Never, not one. I'm 54 and I want to be able to do one this year. I have chicken wing arms. I know that's the back of the arms and they need different work but I still want to be able to do the darn pull-up.

    Pull-ups are a goal of mine too. My upper body strength is truly pathetic.

    I really want to do hanging leg raises as well, because I think they look cool. This despite the fact that no one sees me work out lol. And if I ever succeed it'll probably be with some very uncool looking face grimacing.

    It made me a little sad that I found this thread on pg 2...

    I raided my wifes candy stash last night and ate all of her skittles. She hasn't found out yet.

    A very kind gentleman that I work with brought in Lamar's donuts this morning and I DID NOT pass them up. As a matter of fact, I grabbed a chocolate long John and I will enjoy eating it. I will not feel bad either, because I passed on ice cream and brownie bites last night and only had 2 pieces (small) of pizza and no soda. I can afford some extra calories today.

    Confession: I kind of agree with them. I mean, I don't care about the "whole food" aspect of it, but I would like to see MFP adjust the way the database search returns are ordered. I think they should be ordered as : 1) Your Foods, 2) USDA entries, 3) Other user inputted foods sorted from most confirmations to least.

    My ex and I used to have two cats who were brothers, Regent and Fagan. Regent had a poshy high-English accent and Fagan had a cockney one. (This really makes no sense, since we rescued them as feral kittens, so shouldn't both of them have been cockney?) We made up a whole scenario about how they ran a tobacco store in London and Regent was constantly chastising Fagan for smoking up the profits and knicking from the till. We would have updates at least once a week in which we would natter on in their respective voices about recent events while the cats looked on with expressions of boredom and/or derision. The ex got the cats. I sometimes wonder if he and the wife carried on with this tradition.

    My husband and I make up stories about what our cat is doing when we're not home. When we go on holidays, we like to talk about how she's off on her own vacations and likely hanging with the jet set in the south of France or whatever. I am so glad to hear that we are not the only ones who have built a fantasy life for our pet.

    I really, really, enjoy watching/reading other peoples fights on these (not this one particularly) threads. They can actually be quite informative as well.

    OMG yes. I've been getting far too much enjoyment over the sugar threads lately :).

    My favorite one, as of yesterday, was the "Can I really eat a hamburger" thread. Quite entertaining.

    I decided to wax my own underarms the other night. I've had it done professionally before, so I figured it would be fine. I bought a microwave wax kit and waited until I was home alone. I'm right handed, so the left side wasn't too bad. Yeah, it hurt, but I got it done. Turns out that I am completely incapable when using my left hand. I got wax everywhere, I applied it super unevenly. I didn't pull it off fast enough, so the was got brittle and wouldn't come off in one piece. I had to pour oil on it and painstakingly pry the wax off bit by bit. And I still had 2/3 left to do, unless I wanted to have 1 and 1/3 armpit waxed. It hurt like the dickens.

    I still don't know why I tried to do this, in February of all months.

    Laughing my *kitten* off - now please picture this - only on the bikini area.....that was me

    I was 300 lbs a year ago on this date, tonight, I earned my orange belt in karate. not really a confession but a WOOP WOOP

    Great job! Starting karate is a big part of why I decided to lose weight. I just got my orange belt, too. *high five*

    Please believe me when I tell you that several of the mom's at my older kid's school are super stuck up and judgmental. This makes me sound like the jerk, but I'm really so laid back and these people just drive me nuts! The other day, they had a bake sale at the band and strings concert and one of those women made chocolate chip cookies. She listed all the ingredients on a paper and in caps put ORGANIC before each thing, i.e. "ORGANIC flour, ORGANIC sugar.." It was so obviously competitive nonsense ( listing the ingredients at all was not required or expected). She was the winner of best mom in the world for sure. I find this type of behavior so obnoxious.

    And that had nothing to do with anything, except that it was annoying.

    Confession: I want the tank top in your profile picture!!! Is that for real, because if so, I need to know where you got it so I can have it in my life STAT!
    So who's scrolling back and looking for the tank top? I scrolled a bit but never saw anything exciting so figured I missed it. lol

    you can just click berlynwall's name on the original quote to bring up her profile

    OK, found it but don't know what a cheese fry is so probably don't want it on my shirt. lol

    That is quite possibly the saddest things I've EVER heard. You NEED to have some cheese fries. Like, NOW!!!
    Are they what we would call cheesy chips?

    Maybe, since across the pond you refer to French fries as chips. At least I think you do.

    Should I check this out? I'm quite curious now as hamburgers (bacon cheeseburgers to be exact) are one of my favorite "cheat" foods.

    It wasn't even about cheating! It was literally someone asking if they could actually eat a burger when on a diet, because they didn't believe their coworkers, and figured you could only lose weight eating salad, I guess. Like, didn't grasp the concept of making the burger fit in your normal day's calories. And then it turned into a whole lot more nonsense about not eating large meals because that's how you get fat, not calories.

    Edited because spelling is hard.

    Every Thursday morning we have a quick informal admin meeting. The first few times the manager's brought in snacks. I bring food with me, so I don't NEED it, but I'm still hoping someone brings in cookies or doughnuts, even though it will certainly put me over for the day.

    Yeah, I brought my Greek yogurt and granola for breakfast, but I can't pass up Lamar's donuts. If they'd have been Krispy Kreme or Dunkin', I wouldn't have even looked twice, but Lamar's is my jam.

    I hate sleeping. It's stupid and a waste of time spending so many hours mindlessly drooling on a cotton-padded platform. Yes, I know staying awake too many hours contributed greatly to my weight gain all these years. But my inner toddler is still afraid he's going to miss out on ... something.

    I'm 57 and I play MMOs. Not sure that this should be a confession. That I play them too much might be the confession. I would rather play than exercise, but I am finding exercise is much more enjoyable on a wii-fit than without.

    Ok here goes.

    I met my husband in an MMO. We are sort of famous on our old server because I was his guild leader, we met and fell in love. This summer we will have our 13th wedding anniversary.

    We lived on two different continents and he moved to mine. When he moved here we sold our toons and got more than 10k US for them (very uber). We put the money down on our house.

    So now you know more about our meeting than my mother does!


    I met my husband on a text-based MUD (multi-user dungeon) based on the Wheel of Time series of books. I lived in western Canada, he lived on the Mid-Atlantic U.S. We've been married nearly 15 years, and have 4 kids. Until we moved to the southern U.S. 11 years ago, we had a couple groups of friends whom we met with a couple times a month to play tabletop RPG's: D&D, WoT D&D, a game called "Call of Cthulu"... well, you get the idea, lol.

    WoT Readers unite! I am just finishing the last book now. :)


    I started reading the series in 1992 when I was 12. My husband started around the same time. By the mid 2000's we were joking that Jordan would die before he finished the series, and then he did (whoops). I am glad it got finished, even if it took more than half my life, lol. I've probably read the first 5-6 books 10 times each.

    Our 12yo son has read ALL THE WAY through the series once, and is on go number two now, lol.

    I know you're speaking English, but I do not understand the words you're saying. I absolutely LOVE sleeping and I'm sad every morning when I have to drag my butt out of my wonderfully comfortable and warm bed.

    This was my issue, I started when there were 5 books and read them such a long time ago. Then a few more came out so I started over to remind myself about the story and caught up. Then I waited until it was done but this time I read chapter summaries online on the books I read until I caught up again and read the rest. I love them. :)

    Further confession: I was playing a male character and my husband was playing a female when we met (don't get all pervy). And his character hated mine, lol.

    There's nothing amiss with my mini-coma equipment. I've been this way as long as I can remember. Perhaps some day we will evolve out of this need to spend so much useless time in gratuitous dormancy.
