First time I did was last year at 41 when I got a small number of highlights/lowlights to cover the little bit of grey I hadon the top of my head. my hair has always just been my hair. My husband thought I was crazy since he couldn't even see the bit of grey I was talking about. But I could so I was glad to banish it. I had it done at the avenda school since my hair is very long it would have cost a a lot in a salon for highlights the same color as my hair. The staff was like wait you want it the same color and you have never dyed your hair.denielle715 wrote: »In the past, I've eaten an entire jar of White Chocolate Wonderful peanut butter.

My store was out (said some was supposed to be on the delivery truck scheduled to arrive the next day), I couldn't wait, so I drove to 3 other stores in town with no luck, then drove 45 minutes to the next store that carried it!
I've never heard of this stuff before now and certainly haven't seen it in any stores... but of course now I'm going to be on the hunt for it, probably my next trip to the US.
I see BZAH10 has put up a new shoulder/arm avatar to taunt inspire and motivate me. Lol. I'm glad she posts so often in this thread so I get to see my Dream Shoulder regularly.
Hahaha! Thanks for noticing! I only posted a new picture because I was really white and pale in my other picture. Been outside recently and have a bit of color, so I thought I'd update it.
I've been toying with the idea of posting my own shoulder pic just for laughs (which will be totally meaningless to anyone outside of this thread) but it would definitely out-pale your old one as we're on our fifth month of winter here... snowing outside as I type.
I get confused when people change their avatar lol. Someone had your llama pic in a Facebook group I'm in, and I was like "you can't use that picture! That's @ythannah! ".
In other news, we're supposed to get a bit of snow tomorrow too.
Lol! That's what I get for putting up a pic poached from the net.
And if I'm not mistaken, somebody recently changed her avatar from a masked purple-haired girl to a very pretty brunette...
Thanks... The picture is actually a year and a half old, but I haven't changed much lol
I do wish I actually had purple hair though
Pretty easy to achieve, particularly now that the "unnatural" hair colours seem to be trendy again. You can probably get either permanent or wash-out dye.
Not sure how well they cover darker hair though. Might be necessary to do a colour strip first, and I think that's kinda hard on your hair.
I just want a skinny little teal streak.
My hair is fine and dry. It's also falling out like crazy. It doesn't hold colour at all, it will fade to a straw colour within a couple weeks. And bleaching it would probably leave me bald.
Unfortunately, it's not "just hair" to everyone and it might not grow back
Perhaps I should just invest in colourful wigs...
Confession: I'm about to turn 29 and I've never had highlights or dyed my hair in my life!

I never run with underwear on just runnung shorts, capri's, or tights. Otherwise I would have hella problems with them moving arounddenielle715 wrote: »I had to have my hair thinned too as it's so thick and frizzy! It's much better now that I condition first then shampoo.
I've just put my calories to maintain this week, we're having friends over at the weekend for part two of a Firefly marathon which includes dominos, alcohol and shots so have been worrying about fitting it all in, after changing it to maintenence it's a lot less scary to see how much I actually have without putting anything back on!
And today is the second time since reading this thread that I exercised with no underwear on and it's so much more comfortable so thank you
Never tried conditioner first.
Have tried exercising with no underwear. Not for me. Too much sweating happens.
TMI Confession: I have used deodorant (down there) when exercise. Haha

My son too but he is 13.I am very jealous of my 17 year-old son's hair. It's dark blond with natural highlights, shoulder length and thick with beautiful round curls. Exactly like the pictures I used to take to the hairdresser when perms were in. Instead I'd come out with some sad, frizzy mess that would take a year to grow out, by which time I'd gathered enough hope to repeat the cycle. I'm glad perms aren't in any more.

I do that all the time and have gotten busted a few times by people. I am an odd bird. I am basically an extreverted introvert whose is around a ton of people for work stuff. But if I don't have alone time I go crazy so I have not told dear friends I am in thier town before when I just needed to be alone. One of my oldest friends found out one time and got pissed. But a couple other times people have just decided they are taking me to dinner since people think I am a social butterfly the don't expect me to be a loner but really I am a loner who loves people but needs recharging time.rungirl1973 wrote: »I have a good friend in Atlanta.

I think that is great that he supports you though!
Oh yeah, he's a peach. One of the REASONS I have been on fake diet for three years is that he believes, far more than I do, that I can actually achieve my goal; without him holding me to my ambitions, I'd have given up and blimped out years ago

My confession for today is that I REALLY want to throw my stapler at the man sitting at the desk in front of me, but my boss won't let me because apparently we need him
He is the most rude, vile person I have ever had the misfortune of meeting. For example, he thinks it is hilarious to burp the word BOLLOCKS or that in his opinion it is perfectly acceptable to interrupt a woman because he will probably be right anyway.

I can't believe I shared that.
Honestly? This is nothing! At least you get rid of what you're tempted by, I used to eat it all in one day so I wouldn't be tempted the next day.... There's logic....0 -

I don't think I have had my natural hair colour since I was about 13! Now I'm forced to dye it because as a 25 year old I have enough grey hairs to rival a 40 year old!
That's my plan! I will start coloring it when I finally start going grey!

I'm going grey. I only ever notice it in the work bathrooms, I think it's the lighting. Hate it.0

I have never heard of this before......
I think there's a thread where people say they're playing (I'm way too lazy to look into it), then they message each other questions with random #'s. The person who receives the message then posts the answer ON THEIR NEWS FEED with the same random #, so the person who sent the request knows it's the response to their question, but no one else knows the question. One person is enough to gunk up your entire news feed for a few hours, making you miss important stuff from people who are actually posting relevant stuff, like their evening workouts and diary completions.0 -

Have you had your thyroid checked? I take a prescription for it and I know when my levels are not right because my hair starts falling out.
I had it checked in September, the doctor swears everything is normal. She tested extra things too in case there was a deficiency (zinc, vitamin b and a couple other things.) My hair has been falling out for a while, I'm surprised I'm not bald yet
I, too, have been cursed with fine, thin hair. It got really bad several years ago but after cleaning up my diet it has improved somewhat. My thyroid and all tests are fine, too. I think it's just genetic. The women on my mom's side of the family all have really fine, thin hair. Ironically, my nails grow like crazy! I have to cut them regularly to keep them manageable. I don't understand that at all.
Anyway, actually coloring your hair (adding either a darker shade or a gloss) will thicken it up. I also started taking Viviscal the beginning of this year and I'm FINALLY seeing some growth! Just a few suggestions.
ShibaEars - I was going to recommend prenatal vitamins. Great for hair and nails!0 -

When I'm fighting a craving, I eat other stuff to avoid the "bad" food and end up going way over my calories for the day. Also, I have no self-control when it comes to sweets. I've had to learn to just buy a serving instead of a package of something...I'm not done til it's all gone... 0

My hair is thin and baby fine... tangles super easily so I yank a lot of it out just by brushing.
I'm pretty skeptical of product claims since they rarely live up to their own hype but I've had good results from the new L'Oreal Fibralogy line. It does seem to make my hair look a tad fuller, whether it actually has "thickening" properties or just succeeds at adding body.
I got it on sale at Superstore for around $3 so not a huge waste of money if it's a flop.
I can't speak to dry or falling-out hair, but mine is regularly salon coloured so definitely not in the greatest health.
Oh, and I'm also really happy with Rusk Thick styling spray. It's supposed to be a body and texture amplifier and it does a decent job of that. Most styling products weigh my hair down unattractively or kill all the shine, but this stuff works well -- may even add some shine. (I use it VERY sparingly) Winners usually has it at $10/bottle.

Confession: this weight-loss thing is hard and demoralizing at times. I gained 18 pounds because of having cancer and a failed surgery resulting in an open wound for 8 freaking months. Meaning 8 months on a couch, no movement at all. I started eating right and doing an hour of Pilates 5 days a week (the only thing soft enough for me right now) 57 days ago. The first 10 pounds fell off very quickly and now I am stuck, 3 weeks of losing and gaining the same 2 pounds. I know it takes time and patience but hell, I really want to get back in shape. Not aiming for skinny, I have never been skinny but for my normal sporty self. That would be 159. I don't really even mind having a boob missing anymore, but I mind being flabby and not being able to wear the clothes I want to.
On the up side, I started pole dancing classes yesterday and it felt great, even if I could not do everything and I was behind the others.
Your willpower is amazing!0 -
I've had at least one Jim Beam and Pepsi Max every night for the last week or so.
I've stayed within my calorie goal but damnit I can't get off the alcohol. It's my Achilles heel.

My scale is acting funky. I'm scared to get a new one because it might weigh me differently and put me up a few pounds...I know that is irrational and I don't care!

Do you free pour or measure it? I was just thinking, maybe you could measure out less and less each time until you are just on the Pepsi?0 -

I've always been skeptical of "blender bottles" 8.00 for a cup? Well I bought one last night and love it lol, no more clumps from stirring my protein.0

I had a day out yesterday, and I had so much sodium. My friend said to eat lunch before we met up, so I had Taco Bell on the way, then when I got there she hadn't eaten yet. So I ordered nachos. Snacked on some fried food out of her order. Had a piece of pizza. Changed locations, ate more pizza. My hands were so puffy this morning that it hurt to make a fist, and I feel all kinds of bloated.

^^ This, exactly. What's worse is that in addition to doing it in the first place (have a tough time understanding how it is possibly entertaining), the participants seem to view their volume of activity as a measure of popularity on this site. I understand that MFP is a form of social media, but srsly??0 -

This is totally me with certain things. I try to buy the single serving stuff when it's available, but this weekend, I wanted plain tortilla chips and had to buy a regular sized bag. So after I ate what I wanted, I had to give the bag to someone in my house to hide from me! It sounds silly, but it worked. I didn't waste money throwing them away, and I have no idea where they are so I can't eat them all now! 0 -
On the topic of hair...
I don't have a regular hair stylist. I know a lot of people that do hair, but I avoid getting my hair done by people I know. I don't want to get upset at them if they mess my hair up. I also used to be a receptionist at a salon, and it really upset me how bad the stylists there trash talked their clients... Even the ones they were friends with.
I've spent the last couple years getting my hair done by randoms. I hate it, but I know if I ask for recommendations, I'll just get referred to someone I know.0 -
Oh, here's another one. I was at the gym yesterday and hopped on a treadmill next to some ladies who were together. I was already going when I realized they were loudly talking about a multilevel marketing (pyramid) scheme I really despise. I was so enraged that even with my music up loud, I could still hear them talking about how their product can cure insomnia, diabetes, and asthma all at once. As I was running I just kept mouthing "shut up" over and over again. At least all that anger did give me a nice work out!0

I think its brilliant that a) you're strong and brave enough to ask your boyfriend to help you in this way and b) that he does it to support you.
I wish I could get over my shame/embarrassment/humiliation and ask my partners to support me in similar ways (slap cakes/chocolate/ice cream/junk out of my hands) and that they would do it. My girlfriend says she's trying to support me, but she doesn't really get it. My boyfriend makes no comment, on anything. probably for fear of getting his head bitten off. Not that i would. I need their help.
I haven't even confessed to either of them that I have a medically diagnosed eating disorder and was seeing a counsellor for it before i moved in with them, over a year ago.
Aw hun You should definitely seek their support - they love you, they'll want to help you, but you need to tell them how! I think people are often wary of holding someone they love to account when they're trying to lose weight, because they worry it will be seen as them confirming that there's "something wrong with you" - that they don't love you just the way you are. And yeah, because they may be afraid of getting their head bitten off! But if you just make it clear to people you need them to reinforce your own resolve, they are usually so helpful and supportive.
As for your medical history, that is your own private business to tell them or not as you choose - but I think you would feel better if you did, not just because it would help them to understand why you need what you need, but also because then they will know how strong you are - that you've been through that and come out better.
Take care of yourself - and let your partners take care of you too! x0 -
