Except for crayon and coupon (q-pon), I pronounce each of those words interchangeably. I guess it depends on my mood or something.
I also randomly bust out with a fake British accent.
Doesn't every non-British person? I assume British people will bust out fake American or Canadian accents too.
They probably do. I wonder if they all impersonate southern people more than other regions?
I would think so!
I think more than anything it would be either New York (Friends influence) or LA kind of area. I'm not going to lie, I have trouble understanding the southern accent. There was some sort of vampirey programme on based in the south and I gave up because I couldn't understand what they were saying.
True Blood! The books it was based on are great vacation reads, super trashy and great. I gave up on the series a couple seasons before it ended because it went off the rails, but one of the actors is my #1 celebrity crush so I put up with it longer than I should have, probably.
How is the low-carb thing going for you, by the way?
@orangesmartie, thinking good thoughts for you both in relationship land and with your sister. Enjoy that vacation too, goodness knows you could use it right now!
@misskarne, I did 30-Day Shred a couple times and I had to just mute Jillian, lol.
Hello, sorry I gave up trying to catch up. I got to page 1368 and got impatient. lol
True Blood is exactly what I was thinking of! Well done, that was driving me crazy trying to think of what it was called.
Low-carb is going really well, thanks for asking! I've lost about 8-9lbs in 3 weeks. I'm feeling really good about it. I feel my energy levels have leveled out and my sugar cravings have vanished. I guess it's all or nothing for me. 0 -

I am hoping to try the cookies and creme, white chocolate raspberry, peanut butter and jelly, apple pie, cinnamon roll, strawberry cheesecake, brownie and maybe the mint chocolate. Mind you, I have no idea what flavors they have, but that is just what I saw online.kellyjellybellyjelly wrote: »Italian_Buju wrote: »kellyjellybellyjelly wrote: »Italian_Buju wrote: »MissKalhan wrote: »HIYA ALL! This weekend was pretty busy, I worked Saturday and went to accupuncture. Yesterday was stupidly hot so we helped the mancreature's parents with some landscaping (I needed some sun anyway so I wore my bikini top and shorts). We also went to GNC (all the Quest Bars were on sale!!), I got to finally try the chocolate mint one and I love it! I also bought Quest protein powder (Peanut butter), which wasn't available before in Canada. I've got two months until my half marathon and the wedding that I'm a Bridesmaid in, time to tighten things up and get back into the swing of things! Lol
I am thrilled that you posted this! I traveled all over the city last week looking for Quest bars in the flavors I wanted, and still did not get them all!
I never thought of GNC til I saw this post. Not only is it literally up the street from me, the bars are cheaper AND they have a bunch of different flavors......
I love that this thread pointed me in the direction of those bars, I love them! I have tried powders, but do not like milk and juice is so sugary, and have tried other bars, and while I liked them, the carb counts were so high that I only ate them once in a while.
The net carb count for these is so low not only can I eat them often, but I can actually have fruit at breakfast which is exciting for me, as I normally cannot seem to make it work with my blood sugar normally. Except for berries cuz they are so low in sugar. My plan is to have a Quest bar four times a week for breakfast, with just greek yogurt and fruit (FRUIT!!) LOL. I have tried three flavors so far and have loved them all, I can't wait to go tomorrow and see what other kinds they have.
Has anyone tried the Quest protein chips?
What were your favorite flavors so far?
I officially deem the worst flavor Coconut Cashew! I ate that one Saturday & had to force myself to finish it.
@Francl27 I'm pretty sure has ate The Quest Protein Chips.
My favorite so far is the chocolate chip cookie dough......I have also tried the chocolate peanut butter and double chocolate chunk....both great. I plan on buying ten bars tomorrow, with a couple cookie dough and then one of each flavor I want to try so I can figure out which ones are gonna be my go to ones (I did that with Hagaan Dazs at the beginning too,
).
If they have the chips I am gonna buy a bag and try them out.
ETA: @spacequiztime - just saw your post now.....why were they awful?? Second this last sentence, lol.
Another one that disappointed me was the S'Mores bar since it didn't really have that much of a S'Mores taste. The White Chocolate Raspberry bars are my favorite, but with them you have raspberry seeds that can get stuck in your teeth which is a bit of an annoyance. My sister's favorite flavor so far is the Cookies & Cream.
Is it silly that I am THIS excited to go and buy protein bars??
Not at all! My sister & I went to GNC a few weeks ago & we were like kids in a candy store. Do you buy them from GNC or another store? If you buy them from GNC you can purchase a Gold card that at least in the US makes the boxes $24.99. On the Quest website on Cyber Monday I believe the price per box was even cheaper than GNC.
At Supplement Giant (which is where I've always purchased my Quest Bars) a box is ALWAYS $24.99 no Gold Card or sales necessary. What I like about SG is that you can mix and match boxes so you can get the flavors you like without having to buy a whole box of them, or if you want to try just one of each flavor, you can do that too.
PS. It's not silly at all to be excited about protein bars when they pack that much good stuff in such low calories. I actually like the s'mores one, but cannot STAND the white chocolate raspberry, but to each their own. I haven't been brave enough to try the PB&J yet, but maybe some day I will be.

Just giving a quick update, as I may be in and out over the next few days. I am at my Mom's for vacation with my sister and her 2 kids who are 14 (girl) and 10 (boy). We are going to NY today and visiting the new world trade center and then maybe the village and maybe the Empire State Bldg. Then Times Square tonight and dinner. Then I booked a hotel off of central park and in the AM we'll go for a long walk in central park (I am going to run there in the AM before they get up), lunch in central park and then I got us all tickets to the Lion King. I have never seen it and am SO excited.
I live 45 minutes from NY, used to work there daily, still go in a lot, and still get like a kid when I can go in and play tourist. I LOVE NYC!
Will take plenty of pics to share with you all when I can get them uploaded.
Take care... sorry have to say this... no politics and remember no swearing! (Excusing yourself or apologizing to the people who don't like it before you swear still counts as swearing...). I think we have all gotten back to a good place the last few days, let's stay there so we don't lose any of our dear friends. Thanks!
I am so incredibly jealous of all of this! I've never been to NYC before but if I had a bucket list, it'd be on it. Have fun and stay safe. Can't wait for the pictures!
And so much this!!!

You're not alone. I am banning ice cream, cookies, & other desserts for a long time until I can eat them in moderation.
I have no food in my house. No wine, no snacks, no goodies. I can't eat anything in moderation when its in my house.
Yeah, we saw your fridge.....apparently mints are the only thing you can control yourself around, LMAO!
And they're actually for the horses! Haha0 -

I forgot to share my latest NSV with you.
I went to a baby shower Saturday, and there was homemade cupcakes, veggies and dip, nuts, chocolate covered pretzel sticks, watermelon, pistachio salad, and candy. I filled 2 small plates with veggies and little bit of dip, 1 pretzel, watermelon, mixed nuts, (just a few) 4 buttermints, (which I shared with Mr. Mo) and a small scoop of pistachio salad. I totally skipped the cupcakes!!! I didn't even feel like I was missing out because everyone that ate one, had blue lips and tongue.0 -

@orangesmartie Thinking of you, an sending lots of hugs your way! ❤️
@nonoelmo Hoping everything is okay with your son! Sending hugs and prayers to you too! ❤️
Now, to make all my follow up calls. Hubby and I have been discussing a lot of things, and we both feel she needs to be re-tested for autism. There's just so many things SPD and Anxiety can't account for, and we both have been suspecting for nearly 2 years that she could possibly be autistic to some extent.0 -

Passing on cupcakes is certainly deserving of an NSV!!!!0 -

Instant pistachio pudding mix is combined with whipped topping, miniature marshmallows, crushed pineapple, and nuts. This particular salad had a few too many marshmallows for me. I'm sure everyone makes theirs different, but this one was pretty good and not super heavy.

I thought we were the only people who made that! My mom makes it every Christmas. She calls it "snow salad". LOL
Marshmallows, pudding and whipped cream - yep, salad.0 -

I discovered lemon Oreos yesterday thanks to my lovely daughter. I also discovered they are 75 freakin' calories each. I ALSO discovered I don't care how many calories they are because they're delicious.

I'm currently living in a hotel during the week and have hired a new trainer to take me through some strength/lifting routines. Food has been somewhat erratic, with a couple of terrible binge days. Basically negating all the training.
Partners (ex-partners?) and I are talking, trying to sort the mess to see if/how we can go forward together. Mr Smartie has seen his GP for medication and had an initial assessment with a therapist. We are waiting for a referral to a specialist military therapist. I feel that I am not quite done with them yet, so have committed to try and see if we can move on together.
In other news: we're still waiting on social services to make decisions about my sister's baby, so I feel i can't make any plans past the end of September.
I am planning a holiday with my parents and Charlie at the end of September, and i would dearly love to be down about 20lbs by then.
Mum saw her consultant yesterday. He is pleased with the way the operation went, but now she begins treatment 3 times a week for 6 weeks.
So all in all, its been a little bit of a stressful month.
thank you to everyone who messaged me and left notes on my wall. I'm sorry I wasn't that able to engage, it was just taking a lot of energy to remain upright some days.
Don't worry about us! Take care of yourself. We miss you but you need to take care of yourself and taking care of yourself will certainly help that. Congrats on the trainer and *hugs*.
^^^See this bolded stuff? All of this right here ^^^
Yes, all of what @pofoster21 said! Wishing you the best @orangesmartie !0 -
Yay @Lois_1989 you're back!! Congrats on the weight loss that's awesome and I'm happy you're feeling better and not having cravings!0

Except for crayon and coupon (q-pon), I pronounce each of those words interchangeably. I guess it depends on my mood or something.
I also randomly bust out with a fake British accent.
Doesn't every non-British person? I assume British people will bust out fake American or Canadian accents too.
They probably do. I wonder if they all impersonate southern people more than other regions?
I would think so!
I think more than anything it would be either New York (Friends influence) or LA kind of area. I'm not going to lie, I have trouble understanding the southern accent. There was some sort of vampirey programme on based in the south and I gave up because I couldn't understand what they were saying.
Southern accents on tv are GREATLY exaggerated. We don't really sound like that! Right, @crosbylee ? 0 -

Okay, so no judgement and all, but...salad? SALAD? How is that a salad? LOL.
I'm young enough to have escaped all those things with Jello and Cool-Whip and marshmallows that people refer to as "salad", so I always find it kind of shocking that they still exist, hahaha.0 -
