    BZAH did you really send a scale to that single dad on the other thread? You're awesome.
    Also, sounds like everyone needs a visit from our special friend, Mr Shark:

    Yes, I did. I didn't know he mentioned it though! I bought a food scale months ago and never used it once. I'd rather someone benefit from it. However, I forgot to include the instruction booklet so I just mailed that to him today. Hope he finds success! Seems like a nice guy.

    I hope so too. I was concerned when he vanished for a bit - let's hope he sticks around.

    I was, too! I'm glad he's back and I hope he sticks with it.

    @Tubbs216, thank you! I've been in a "bad" space recently and really have no reason to be, so doing something for someone else was a good thing for me (and hopefully him as well). Now I just need to make a habit of it.

    Thanks @MoHousdon and @Glinda1971. Tomorrow will be better. I had a friend die of a heart attack, it was my son's weekend with his dad (that's never a good thing) and I ate way to much. On a positive note though I was down a half pound on my weigh in this morning.

    Back in the office after that mind-numbing continuing ed seminar. Ugh. Think I passed the test though; we'll see in about 3-4 weeks. (Really? It's 2015, and we're still waiting WEEKS for test results? Whatevs.)

    My confession is my wife dragged me to the store for a wardrobe upgrade on Saturday...and I enjoyed every minute of it! (4+ hours.)

    After years of bargain XL shirts and 38" dockers, there is something awfully gratifying about trying on M slim-fit work shirts, and 32 x 32 work slacks - and having them fit great. Also picked up some new shorts, T-shirts, running shoes (sweet Nike Free 4.0 Flyknits - so comfortable!)

    Then going through my closet & getting rid of some thrashed work pants, L T-shirts that billow on me....I now understand where the term Retail Therapy comes from, lol

    That is awesome!

    Thanks for your kind comments, guys :)

    I just dug out a dress of mine from last year and put it on to see if it was fit to bring to Punta Cana. I looked at myself in the mirror and felt ok... but I always feel like mirrors lie to me. :neutral: I got out my new camera and took a VIDEO OF MYSELF standing in my dress to see what it looked like on camera. I have to say I'm pretty horrified by how terrible my arms look. Maybe with a tan my scars and such won't be as visible... man, those arms!! :confounded:

    EDIT: NO. This is bad. I posted this and I told myself I need to stop hating on myself. So, to take back some damage.... I really like my dimples :lol:
    EDIT2: I don't want to bring my glasses to the beach to get them lost or stolen while I'm swimming... and I don't wear contacts, so it looks like I might have a partially blind trip.

    I'm sure you looked fine in the dress. And you DO have adorable dimples.

    I went to the eye doctor Saturday to get contact specifically for my trip. I would recommend it unless you have a weird eye thing like Rachel did on Friends. They will, or should, sample you out a pair to get a feel for them.
    Thank you very much, my dimples are one of the only things I like about myself. :lol: My brother also inherited them, but he hates them (I think he believes they take away from his manliness).

    My boyfriend just suggested I take off my glasses to get used to not wearing them, but he said my eyes look smaller and more squinty without them. I don't think he was trying to be insulting, but I don't want small and squinty eyes! :lol:

    I have dimples too. The one on my right side is bigger than the left.
    I'm also in the dimples club. I have back dimples too, which I always thought were weird until I read that they're apparently desirable. Who knew.

    I'm in the "I wish I had dimples" club

    I have dimples just not in the right spots ;)

    LOL.

    Hi everyone, I've abandoned trying to keep up - it's bothering me to do so, but this was becoming my only work break, and I like variety in my work-break life :) Hope all is well with everyone (and hope things gt better soon for those of you who had bad weekends).

    @Tubbs216 and @FluffySandwich - so this whole visa/work-permit processing thing is completely foreign (but curious) to me. So if something takes over 4 years to process, are you still allowed to work where you currently live, as long as you are in process? And you have to pay to apply to live in another country, not like a $20 processing fee or something? Obviously, ignore me or tell me it's none of my business, but I knew we aren't allowed to just say " hey I want to live in this country now" but I didn't think it was that difficult/costly/time-consuming.

    Do any of you actually send messages to your MFP friends if they've disappeared for a period of time? There are a couple people that I like and would hate to see quit, but I'm not sure what to say and if it's weird to send them a "where are you" message.

    Yes. Most of the time, I don't get a response. But I figure, when they come back it might help knowing that someone was concerned while they were gone.

    I was up 1.6 lbs. from the last time I weighed myself this morning. I was pretty sad about that considering I kept a decent deficit this weekend. I'm sure it's because of all the sodium, stupid delicious Five Guys and dumb delicious Target popcorn.

    My husband was doing to calorie counting thing and just stopped. He's since gained back 11 of the 19 lbs. he lost. I'm sad because he doesn't even seem to care now after he was so motivated and successful right off the bat.

    I never log my exercise calories. It's because I usually do yoga and weight lifting, which aren't big calorie burners. I do log my formal yoga class once a week - because it kicks my butt.

    Weight lifting is a big calorie burner.

    Well my experience is of moving to Canada permanently from the UK. Fluffy, I believe, is on a temporary visa (student visa maybe?) so that's different. Yes, it costs many hundreds of dollars, you have to have medicals and there are strict age, educational and financial guidelines applied, so it's not an easy process. Being part of the E.U. we could have gone anywhere in Europe without having to jump through any of these hoops, but for us it had to be Canada :)

    Getting a US Green Card is, I believe, even harder.

    ETA, yes, while you're waiting for your application to process, life just goes on wherever you're living at the time. We remain UK citizens so will always have the right to return and live and work there whenever we want. That was important for us, as our children will have choices.

    I confess...

    It's 10 PM and I had a ton of calories left, even after dinner, because I didn't have much of an appetite today. I decided to have something desserty, but we only had vanilla ice cream in the freezer. Plain vanilla isn't really worth the calories to me, although it's nice... So then I had an idea: I got 10 grams of peanut butter, and spread it in a thin layer over the walls of a tiny ice cream bowl, then served the ice cream on top of it. Then, with each bite, I scraped a little peanut butter off the wall of the bowl. Mmmmm, so good.

    And then, I STILL had a ton of calories left, so I made a mock peanut butter milkshake. That was so good too.

    ...I really love peanut butter. :sweat_smile:
    I'm the weirdo whose favourite flavour of ice cream is vanilla.

    I love vanilla too. Although, now that I've discovered Ben & Jerry's Half Baked, I would say that's my new fave.

    If you like peanut butter they also have a Peanut Butter Half Baked that is good.

    I saw that one and something with peanut butter cookies. Or is that the same thing?! I'm new to the whole array of gourmet ice cream flavors.

    I had B&J's Salted Caramel Core last night, the one with blondies in it. Not impressed. I'm not a fan of blondies anyway. (Who wants a blondie when you could have a brownie?) I am going to be stalking the stores looking for more The Tonight Dough. In case you can't read the description, "Caramel & Chocolate Ice Cream with Chocolate Cookie Swirls & Gobs of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough & Peanut Butter Cookie Dough." Drooly, drool, drool!

    HATE the continuing ed stuff. But, it must be done. That long for test results is crazy! We get an immediate pass/fail result on the screen as soon as the test is completed. I still tend to hold my breath for that brief moment in fear of seeing "FAIL"! Thankfully, 17 years in the same industry, and so far so good.

    Congrats on the new clothes and enjoying the experience!

    Truth.

    Good thing is it was step 3 of 5 towards an important designation, AND covered 20 of the 24 hr CE requirement. (Well, "good thing" kind of hinges on whether or not I passed, lol)

    Thanks for the congrats. I still view work clothes as a "uniform" - I'm a T shirt, jeans & flip flops guy outside of the office. I have one suit that I joke is my "Wedding/Funeral/Court Appearance uniform."

    I light rail / bike to work every day - at 3:45 I go upstairs & change into a tank & shorts for the ride home.

    Basically, my mission is to stay in grownup clothes for as short of a time as possible!

    Ever since I saw this video, when I see pictures like that I always wonder if it's really ice cream or mashed potatoes instead.

    Yep, I had my student work permit (which is about to expire in September). I also hold a temporary student work permit that expires at the same time. Now I have applied for a post-graduate work permit (so many permits!). If I hadn't gone to school here, I believe it would be much harder for me to go forward with this. I had to prove I know an advanced-intermediate level of French, pay over a thousand dollars (so far... this doesn't even include my application for permanent residency), and gather up tons of documents and make sure I was eligible for everything because they indeed have strict guidelines.

    Being a US citizen might also make it easier for me than people from other countries, since we have a close relationship with Canada.... but I'm not sure about that :/

    My husband bought an exercise bike and everything... he lost 10 pounds a year ago, didn't want to count calories though... then he just pretty much gave up. He really has no excuse, he still watches TV, I don't know why he can't just sit his butt on the bike, but what can you do. He's never done so good on the diet front though... always ordering the 2000 calorie dishes at restaurants... ugh.

    For the weight gain, honestly I only weigh myself the week after my period ends so I don't see all the water weight gains. I know it's so frustrating when you don't lose after a great week though. I had a fantastic month (in March I think?) and didn't lose a pound, when I should have lost 2. I'm still upset about it.



    Confession - I'm due to weigh in a week actually and I'm scared, I have no idea what the scale is going to say. I know that I was 5 pounds up with clothes on and after breakfast and during PMS when I was at the hospital though so I guess it can't be THAT bad... and my clothes still fit the same... maybe a bit better even.

    Then I'm going in vacations in 3 weeks and last year it totally threw me off (I gained 2 pounds and actually haven't seen my pre-vacation weight since), so I'm pretty worried it's going to be a disaster again this time.

    Confession - I'm actually pretty angry about it. Vacations used to be a fantastic time of going out and enjoying good foods, and now it's totally ruined for me and I know I can't 'enjoy it' without feeling guilty anymore.

    Last confession - hurried home from the gym because my mom was supposed to call... 47 minutes ago. Still haven't got my shower, and she still hasn't called, and I'm getting peeved.

I decided to have something desserty, but we only had vanilla ice cream in the freezer. Plain vanilla isn't really worth the calories to me, although it's nice... So then I had an idea: I got 10 grams of peanut butter, and spread it in a thin layer over the walls of a tiny ice cream bowl, then served the ice cream on top of it. Then, with each bite, I scraped a little peanut butter off the wall of the bowl. Mmmmm, so good.

    And then, I STILL had a ton of calories left, so I made a mock peanut butter milkshake. That was so good too.

    ...I really love peanut butter. :sweat_smile:
    I'm the weirdo whose favourite flavour of ice cream is vanilla.

    I love vanilla too. Although, now that I've discovered Ben & Jerry's Half Baked, I would say that's my new fave.

    If you like peanut butter they also have a Peanut Butter Half Baked that is good.

    I saw that one and something with peanut butter cookies. Or is that the same thing?! I'm new to the whole array of gourmet ice cream flavors.

    I had B&J's Salted Caramel Core last night, the one with blondies in it. Not impressed. I'm not a fan of blondies anyway. (Who wants a blondie when you could have a brownie?) I am going to be stalking the stores looking for more The Tonight Dough. In case you can't read the description, "Caramel & Chocolate Ice Cream with Chocolate Cookie Swirls & Gobs of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough & Peanut Butter Cookie Dough." Drooly, drool, drool!

    1) Salted Caramel is my lifeblood.

    2) I don't have the option to eat chocolate, so that may have something to do with it.

    I bought the vanilla and lemon cake Halo Top! The pints are SUPER lightweight. It's kind of weird. They're also $$$. :/

    They were $4.99 at Wegmans, which isn't too bad.. I mean expensive enough that it's not going to be an every day thing obviously, but at least it's not $6.99 like some other ones I've seen. Haven't checked Whole Foods yet.

    Sometimes when I'm really hungry and I'm with other people I stop listening to them talk and fantasize about my next meal

    I've had to rewind some TV shows I was watching at night because I kept thinking about my breakfast the next morning and wasn't paying attention at all...

    Just saw this and had to repost, even though I don't really believe in 'cheating' or 'diets' any more:
    Ok that didn't work. Go here and watch the little cat video.
