Great news that your daughter's tests came back normal! Excellent!
I must admit that the name "clotted cream" makes me gag. I have this horrible aversion to milk specifically because it gets all clumpy and sooooo groooosssss when it starts to spoil. So "clotted cream" translates into "rotten nasty milk" for me.
The worst part is that I've never actually tried clotted cream, as it's not a thing here in the US. I bet I'd LOVE it if I tried it elsewhere AND if they didn't tell me that's what I was eating. Just call it... ummm... buttery pudding... or sweetened cream.... or... well, anything but "clotted". Hee hee
I wish I could send you all some clotted cream
I have never had a desire for clotted cream. ..sounded disgusting. When I am in London next year I now vow to try it.
Oh yes you will! If I can persuade you down to Devon for s couple of days, I will take you for the best cream tea ever at ny favourite café on the cliffs.
I WANT to go to Devon! I want to meet Charlie and yet to be named baby girl and go to the zoo and check it all out! I have to get a Scotland/England guidebook and start reading up.
We will put Devon on the itinerary, and anywhere else you want to go. And you Can meet my babies and.we'll take them to the zoo. And Windsor Castle tower of London, Hampton Court, Highclere house (Downton abbey) Covent garden,
I want to come I want to come!!! We didn't get to go to Hampton Court and that was one of the places I wanted to go realllllly bad! I may be living over there by that time

Of course you can come! Hampton Court is a day trip and easy to get to.
I've only got a little flat in Devon but everyone is welcome as long as you can cope with camp beds and air beds.
Yesssss! If I'm not living there already I can just stay with my SO! He can drive me to meet up with y'all!
Yay! We have three now, and I think eithe Julie or Lois was thinking of joining us too!
I have never seen Downton Abbey, I guess I better watch before July 2016. I remember the Tower of London, that was cool. I haven't been to Hampton Court. I can't wait!
Laura are you going to join us on the mountain climb?
I'm happy to tag along! I'll bring Danny kicking and screaming as well if he is invited?
Yes! That would be fabulous. Nicci. .. we're going to need a bigger boat (cottage).
In scotland? No problem! We'll roll call early next year and I'll organise something. Everyone welcome, whether they're mountain climbing or not!

Morning all!
So I went for my walk and just got a creamsicle at the end of it. Why? Because halfway to the store I started craving meatball subs. That is a very weird craving for me but I couldn't stop thinking about having one.
When I got to the store - she had just finished making meatball subs. How weird is that?
My other strange coincidence is that I decided to charge up my kindle that I haven't used in about 4 months on Tuesday night, and a book that I've had on hold for 6 months finally became available this morning.
I wish my third coincidence could be that I my lottery ticket had the right numbers.

I don't think she was criticizing his decision to drink soda while driving. She was pointing out he had clearly already been in trouble for drink driving since he had a court mandated car breathalyzer. I'm with you in that I find drink-driving wholly unacceptable too, so I wouldn't be too impressed if someone required a breathalyzer in order to obey the law. Someone I'd steer clear of too! Hopefully that's cleared that up. Correct me if I'm wrong @KylerJaye.0 -

I absolutely agree with this.
If you need to drink, leave the car at home. If you need the car, don't drink.
And surely a first date is better sober?

I follow a few lost pet pages on Facebook and someone found a dog that looks almost identical to my dog I had euthanized in October. It is making me feel odd, and actually a little sick.
ETA: the dog looks like it's a stray or been abandoned for some time and I think seeing a dog that looks like Emery in that condition is what's bothering me.
That would bother me too. Lost/stray pets tug at my heart at the best of times.0 -

It doesn't show.
I'm rather fond of bananas, in almost any stage of ripeness other than the extremes, and wouldn't eat more than one or two a day.
I have been known to mush one up in a bowl and just eat mashed banana, as a snack.
Now I'm craving banana. May have to swing by a grocery store on my walk and grab a bunch.
I like bananas, but only in the ripe, starting to freckle stage. Yum. I haven't had any in a while though since I was supposed to be following a nutrition plan with low-ish sugar (she says after eating ice cream last night).
Me too! I'm very picky about my bananas- they can't be too green and they can't be too mushy- they have to be juuuust right. I'm like the Little Read Riding Hood of bananas!
Do you mean Goldilocks?

I wasn't completely honest with the calorie count for those days. Haha. In the end, I still lost 10 pounds in the first month alone. I *do* exercise for two-four hours a day (90% light, 10% intense), and I make a point of walking everywhere within three miles, and I ALWAYS take stairs, so maybe this off set the weight gain. Since then, I've fostered a potent armor of will power, discipline, and self-control, so that'd never happen again.
How much do you have to lose? What do you do when you exercise two hours?
Be careful with exercising too much, because it can weaken your immune system (I just got over a bad sinus infection from exercising way too much).
http://health.usnews.com/health-news/blogs/on-fitness/2010/11/05/10-signs-youre-exercising-too-much
With how much exercise you said you do eating a few desserts will not hinder your progress so don't get in the habit of beating yourself because it's not worth the misery.
+1 cake is a pleasure occasionally. (I say this as someone who makes her own because of celiac.) As often as you exercise, two pieces of cake are nothing to feel guilty about.

My youngest niece came over to her mom today & asked for Chocolate Milk. My sister went over & got the milk & the powder & my niece threw the hugest fit. What did she want? She just wanted the powder in the glass & then threw herself on the floor & had a huge fit. Needless to say she didn't get her own way.
I was happy that today I fit in Chipotle (steak burritos yum) & a whole pint of frozen yogurt.
Ha! That's awesome!!
And I LOVE Chipotle!! I haven't had it in well over a year though! Not sure why...we just never think to go there when we get food. That should change soon!! Awesome job fitting that AND frozen yogurt!! Winnnn!!!!!!
I love Chipotle too. Mmmmm mmmmmm.
Chipotle is a huge reason I got fat buuuut I still eat it! Just not in such large quantities anymore! Haha
It really is so good. I wish there was one close to where I work, because I would go there at least once or twice a week.
I confess, I have no idea why people even like Chipotle, let alone lust after it. Just doesn't do it for me.
Qdoba is my Mexican quick-serve of choice, but I also quite enjoy Moe's Southwest Grill. Really though, Mexican food is so easy, I'd rather just make it at home.
And use twice the amount of cheese. No judgment.
I love Moe's! And Chipotle too though. I want another trip to America! But, I don't like cheese that much and always asked them to put less, half the time they didn't understand and tried to put more. I think it just didn't make sense to them that anyone would want less cheese than they were entitled to!
I have one thing to say to this... Country music marathon
So, who all is going?
So far me, Nicci and my friend and her daughter are definitive. You in?
I'm going to do my best to be there! I may not be able to actually run, but I plan on cheering everyone on!
Hoping to come cheer. Definitely not running.

I have run to the gym, lifted and gotten my husband to drive me home. LOL!

*post date update*
first date #13
yet ANOTHER dude that has pics posted, that upon meeting in person, were VERY out of date.
the funny bit being that he says to me, wow, you look just like your pictures!
WHAT?!?! isn't that the point? and i flat out say to him, you look absolutely nothing like your pics!
his reply? yeah, they're pretty old. *smh*
have a few beverages, pretty average basic conversation, dude was nice and all but seemed a lil toooooo laid back. like he had this grin on his face like 100% of the time and his eyes were never fully open. so after a few beverages i'm finally like what the hecks this dude's deal? so i simply ask him, dude, are you stoned? to which he starts laughing and he's like no no, i don't smoke pot. and i'm like dude, are you sure about that?? he laughs a bit more and says, well like klonopin and xanax...yeah. greaaaaaaaat.
AND he's drinking soda all night because he's got one of those built in court mandated car breathalyzers. now don't get me wrong, a designated driver is totally something i need in my life, and baby jesus knows i could easily be stuck in that situation given my shenanigans, but this dude was just not it. plus he smokes a pack and a half a day. no, no thank you.
first date #12 - update!
after our super quick first date, he texts me and asks when we're going to watch documentaries together (i've previously confessed a love of all the docs on netflix). so i say, "well unless it's in a theater it's going to be a while. *stranger danger!*" and he replies, oh, ok, have you lost interest? and then anytime this dude texts me and i don't respond within an hour or so he'll send me another msg asking if i've lost interest. it's a bit irritating. i'm not seeing a second date.
whomp whomp whoooooooomp
Ohhh, a tranqued out chainsmoking guy with a DUI who misrepresents himself. Dream Guy.
And perhaps you should point out to #12 that, after one date, your interest isn't like super high to begin with, and he's kicking it down a notch every time he asks if you've lost interest so it's rapidly approaching a negative value.
Glad you're keeping your sense of humour about all this!FluffySandwich wrote: »I love bananas. I could probably eat a whole bunch in a day easily.

This happens a lot because my scale is in my carpeted (ewww!) basement bathroom and tends to slide towards the wall, where it gets hung up on the bottom edge of the baseboard, giving a lower reading. This is how my SO manages to lose 8 lbs overnight.
He once lost 13 lbs overnight and was just thrilled. Suspicious me, I got on the scale the next morning and saw I was 9 lbs lower. That didn't seem right so I jumped on holding a 10 lb dumbbell. My weight didn't go up 10 lbs. While he was away at work I changed the battery without telling him... he regained his 13 lbs.
What did your SO say after he gained the 13 pounds back?0 -

My initial weight was 215 lbs. and I am now at 203 lbs. I follow a strict Low-Carb diet ( 1500 calories) and a 25-minute fitness program. I want to reach 160 lbs. in the next 3 months. Any fitness and health advice are welcome and a special person to be my inspiration.
Congrats on the weight loss so far.
A few questions:
1. Do you have a medical condition to eat low carb?
2. Why do you want to reach 160 pounds in 3 months?
My advice is if you don't have a medical condition to eat low carb then don't do it. Most people who eat low carb think they're losing weight since they're limiting their carbs when in reality they're eating less overall than they're burning thus creating a deficit to lose weight. Most once they're down to their desired weight go right back to the way they were eating before & gain weight from eating over their deficit. I always try & tell people to eat in a way that will be sustainable for life. Do you see yourself always limiting carbs once you reach your desired weight?
Why are you only eating 1,500 calories a day? Do you weigh your food on a food scale? If not then you could be eating way more than you think. Since you're a 34 year old male I am sure you would need a lot more than 1,500 calories a day. You should look up Scooby's accurate calorie calculator & input your numbers in there & see what it tells you to eat.
Why do you have to reach 160 pounds in 3 months? Event coming up?
Some people do better on low carb...like myself. I feel better, I sleep better...I think everyone is different.
Ditto. I haven't had pasta, rice or a sandwich in 7-8 weeks and I really don't care. I allow myself some potato every now and then. Some people adapt to low carb quite well, and I do think I could do this for the rest of my life. I miss fruit the most, but once I reach my goal weight I can lift it up to 100-150g carbs a day and easily squeeze in fruit
I say don't knock it til you try it.
Edit, I'm a bit behind on this thread so apologies
I think I'd miss fruit the most too. I'm happy it's working out so well for you!!
I get sad when I go food shopping and have to walk past all the bright coloured fruit and just head for the veg. Courgette (zucchini I believe in America?) is my new best friend.
Do you like spaghetti squash? Every now & then I will make that & put a little salad dressing on it or chicken.
I've never heard of this! I've seen spaghetti courgette but not squash. Is it pre-spaghettied or do you have to do it yourself?
I am bad at describing recipes so I'll post this http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/cooking/a/spagsquash.htm
Here's some recipes that I found on Pinterest (haven't tried any since I usually just use dressing & chicken)

I confess that I skip all of the political posts on Facebook and most of the news stories, not because I don't want to be an informed person, because I really do, but because I can't stand all of the negativity (on both/all sides). I wish that there was a way to get the honest facts about topics so that I could create an informed opinion. Instead, it's like panning for gold in a feedlot.

@Italian_Buju My sister will only talk to ONE therapist that she has had before and she hasn't been able to find/get a hold of her and where he new practice is. My mother and my sister's fiance are working on that one. Hopefully, she'll start getting out more.
The Freelee the banana girl thing was for the confessor who came in about eating 4 peaches in one sitting. Reminded me of Freelee. She will eat whole bowls of figs, peaches, pomegranates, or a half a watermelon in one sitting! I like her overall messages about how we need to stop poisoning our bodies with constant fast food consumption and we need to get fit and active. What I DON'T like is she has a very strong 'my way or the highway' attitude about it. She's a strict raw 'til 4 vegan who lives off of a fruit based diet. Works great for her but might not be so great for EVERYONE.
And about Chipotle, it's 'okay'. SSP LOVES it but as for me, I'm half Mexican, I make my own burritos. :laugh:
This is why I love you @Susieq_1994! Cheese IS life! I believe I confessed long ago about how I was suffering without cheese in my life because I thought it was affecting my skin. Well it wasn't, and I now have as much cheese as my calories will let me! Cheese is my one true love.
I can't really stand the banana girl after she reckoned losing her period when she first went strict low fat vegan was a good thing. Um, no, that usually indicates there is a problem. Apparently it came back eventually so I'm not doubting her overall health (like you say, if it works for her then great for her), but to tell other young women that losing your period is fine is pretty bad advice in my book. I can imagine teenage girls getting some pretty damaging messages from that.
The thing I find odd is how she says she eats 30-50 bananas a day. Right there would be around 3,000-4,000 calories in bananas alone.
I thought I read that she suffered from either an eating disorder or disordered eating, but I might be thinking of someone else.
The thing I find extremely damaging is the fact that normal people will try this diet thinking they will lose weight because they're eating healthier foods, & then wonder how they're gaining weight with eating healthier foods.
Honestly, she's crazy. An absolute lunatic with no logic or science to back her up, and a nasty attacking attitude towards anyone who disagrees with her (regardless of how polite they are).
She also works out like a crazy person, hours of cardio a day, and denies it because she insists that you don't need to work out to lose weight while eating a ridiculous amount of food.
Confession: To be completely honest, anyone who mentions her in a way that puts her or her way of life in positive terms reduces my opinion of their mental capabilities significantly.
ETA: Not knocking raw vegans in this post at all. Just the loony one.
I agree completely. If she is eating 30-40 bananas a day she's either overexercising or throwing them up since 3,000-4,000 calories in bananas is ludicrous & that's not even including other food items.
I watched one of her videos & shook my head when she called Cassey Ho fat. Cassey runs this site http://www.blogilates.com/.
So I mentioned the Banana nuts woman to my husband who said, "30 bananas a day. That's enough to make her radioactive."
LMAO!
After reading this last night I got this song in my head.

You cannot criticise someone for drinking soda if they're driving, they damn well should be, as should you!AND he's drinking soda all night because he's got one of those built in court mandated car breathalyzers. now don't get me wrong, a designated driver is totally something i need in my life, and baby jesus knows i could easily be stuck in that situation given my shenanigans, but this dude was just not it.
I am concerned about your attitude to drink driving and find it offensive. I know the culture in the UK is a bit different, there are very few people I think who would consider it anything but unacceptable. So many people get killed or suffer life changing injuries at the hands of drink drivers and it's so avoidable.
I apologise for going against the spirit of this thread, but I couldn't not say it. Just drink coke if you need to drive.
I don't think she was criticizing his decision to drink soda while driving. She was pointing out he had clearly already been in trouble for drink driving since he had a court mandated car breathalyzer. I'm with you in that I find drink-driving wholly unacceptable too, so I wouldn't be too impressed if someone required a breathalyzer in order to obey the law. Someone I'd steer clear of too! Hopefully that's cleared that up. Correct me if I'm wrong @KylerJaye.
yes, that's exactly what i meant! my problem wasn't the soda, it was why he *had* to drink soda.
also, because i know in my state those things aren't *first time offender* mandated.
so there's a history there, plus he was taking prescription drugs in order to still have a buzz/high because they don't register on the interlock device. and i also witnessed him pop a pill during a conversation like it was nothing. twice.
*story update*
narco dude sent me a text yesterday to tell me that he was in an accident and totaled his SUV. someone swerved in his lane, he completely lost control and slammed into a telephone pole. and my first thought was, well how many pills had you taken? which admittedly could happen to anyone, but there would always be that underlying issue with him.
besides the fact that i wasn't really attracted to anything about him...
