Confession: I live in a place where people come to have a nice beach vacation. It is beautiful and all, but it also means that you can't cover up anything because well, too hot for wearing a lot of clothes. Oh, and the women here are amazingly beautiful and have incredible bodies. And than, there is me. A nerd, working in video games online and trying to get to the point where being seen in a bikini won't be a shame. Good motivation but also hard to pull off.
Confession 2: second class of pole dancing, I think I found my challenge. I look like I have been beaten up but pulled three turns without killing myself. It may not have looked very gracious but hey, give me two months and I will twirl around that pole like nobody's business. Even if I will probably not be able to walk tomorrow.0 -

Hey, now, walking is NOT a wimpy workout! I'm a speed / incline walker. I can't jog or run due to an ankle and neck issue. Just giving you a bad time! Whatever keeps you out there and active, go for it!kellienw335 wrote: »denielle715 wrote: »In the past, I've eaten an entire jar of White Chocolate Wonderful peanut butter. It's my drug of choice.

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
It is a great picture of you!
And snow? Where do you live? I live in South Carolina and it is 76 here today.
Northern -ish Alberta. It's supposed to be +16 today (about 60F), then we might get a couple centimetres of snow tomorrow. The weather changes quickly here lol
Where in AB... I am in Edmonton
I grew up 95% in and around Edmonton and my folks and sisters (plus brothers in law and 2 nieces and 3 nephews) all still live in the area. Watching the Oilers on Center Ice right now.

I agree, I think MFP should allow you to choose what it announces for you. Protein would be a big one for me!
Go to Food > Settings
Then you can choose nutrients tracked and have what works for you. You can also have more than three meals, and call those meals anything you choose.
Confession: My meals are named after the mealtimes that Hobbits use in Lord of the Rings (Breakfast, Second Breakfast, Elevenses, Afternoon Tea, Dinner, and Supper) and I usually have something at each of these times (though I have a tendency to log my afternoon tea under second breakfast out of laziness)0 -

Sometimes, a little voice in the back of my head tells me not to bother losing weight because I have a very large wardrobe, thanks to a retail job in college. I shudder to think how much it'll cost to replace it all if I drop 5 or 6 sizes. (I try to remind myself that being fat costs more, but dammit, it's hard.)
Me too! Seriously, I have beautiful clothing that I truly love and I'm 27ish pounds down. My old clothes is starting to fall off of me. I know in my heart that I'm supposed to donate it or get rid of it but... I love it! It feels so dumb to admit that but it is true.
I'm still committed but I'll be sad to see some of my lovely clothing go.0 -

Me neither! I'm sure they are all really good shows, but I don't like to sit in front of the TV for very long. I only watch sports, really. In the evenings (while my husband binge watches all of these series mentioned on Netflix) I prefer to listen to music and read in the other room. Much more relaxing for me.
Yep, that's me, too. Other than football season, I'd rather be buried in a good book!
Yes! We don't even get any channels on our TV. I have super fast internet, so I can stream the CFL (Real Football - longer field and one less down than NFL) games. I also LOVE listening to the games on the radio...the announcers are SOOOO exciting! Go RIDERS! /=S=/
I got into football watching the Esks with my ex. We were season seat holders. Then I started watching NFL and fell in love with the fame when we drove 18 hours to see Favre play in MN (hubby's dream to see him play). CFL doesn't compare to NFL. I can't even watch CFL anymore... btw, have the riders learned to count yet
(to those that don't know the Riders lost the Grey Cup twice b/c of a too many men call!) ...sorry Ladybug...I couldn't resist

I don't have cable tv, so when Xbox said free month of Sling TV, which is like TV ala'carte I was like SURE WHY NOT. Disney XD and Boomerang channels are worth the 25 bucks a month. Scooby Door 8 times day? DON'T MIND IF I DO.
Also, for anyone that remembers my Super Gyro disappointment, I've had the Super Gyro. It really is super. Also, it comes with an extra cup of dill sauce. you can never have to much of this.
Also, Stephen Amell as Casey Jones in TMNT, I can get behind that. I hope they do some pretty awesome Mutanimals, like Rockysteady and Bebop.
Also, I've completely learned Wansu.
Also, I've been of the sound mind that if I hit a huge powerball jackpot, I would produce a live action Voltron movie. I'm starting to change my mind on this, I would invest in a Deadlands television series.
Also, I applied for a job at Coca-Cola today.. . . .again. 9th time is a charm right?
Also, I'm pretty tired, but I pirated a copy of the Star Wars: Heir to the Jedi audiobook and the way the original poster ripped it from CD and posted it, it wasn't very friendly for listening to on the iPod, so I had to enter all the data to get it to be iPod friendly. of the 84 audio files, I entered one number wrong so they're out of order. I think it's somewhere in the 50's. I don't want to have to listen to the last 8 seconds and first 8 seconds of every track to figure out where the conversation doesn't flow seamlessly.

My wearable wardrobe is getting laughably limited. I finally bought a pair of smaller jeans, and those are already baggy. The sad part is that I should have clothes that fits, but I donated most of it when I was pregnant or not long after I delivered. I honestly thought that I'd never be my pre-pregnancy weight again. That's really sad thinking for a 25 year old. I'm kind of kicking my past self for being resigned to a life of being overweight.
Secondly, I just ate two smores, which definitely put me over my calories... But it's so nice outside, I don't even care. Totally worth it to enjoy a bonfire!0 -

I'm glad it lived up to your expectations. I really hate it when food doesn't.
I've started making my own tzatziki at home, and my toddler loves it. He's supposed to dip his chicken or whatever in there, but he just eats it with his fork. I'm pretty proud of him.

Start shopping for consignment stores. The one I go to knocks off her commission on stuff I buy with store credit instead of cashing out. The front half is all designer, a lot with tags. The back half is more run of the mill Kohls/Penneys/Walmart type stuff. I stick to the back half until I get down to goal, then I'll do my last shop in the front when I'm there again.0 -
I really hate trying to figure out ounces into grams and inches into millimeters and the like, seriously, multiply by 25.4? who the hell came up with 25.4 drives me blargh.0

3+ years of 'dieting' at home, whilst having an at-work affair with packets of biscuits, bars of chocolate, cakes an bread. I am still slightly horrified at the amount of time and money I have wasted by not committing to this properly.
So, he has reluctantly agreed to mind my wallet. And I'm losing weight. Last night, I had to pop to the shop to buy some bits, so I asked him to give me some money; but I also told him "Ask me for the itemised receipt, and the exact change". Because otherwise, I know what I would do.
I'm extremely embarrassed that I have to co-opt someone else's willpower to achieve this simple, small weight loss. But hey, I suppose self-knowledge is the first step towards self-improvement...
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.
Maybe you should explain to them exactly how to support you? Maybe they just do not know HOW to do it, but are willing??0 -
*Steps on GRUMPY OLD PEOPLE'S soapbox*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.
Well, that's silly! What did she do that for?! I retain water very easily and I HATE that feeling so I have to be very careful with my sodium intake, which is hard because I really only like salty / savory foods.
I know... It's hard being friends with chronically late, running behind people. I should have just anticipated that she'd come late and hungry, but as an on time rule follower, I assume others will be the same.
Oh, I share this same curse! I have finally learned to only be on time when it matters: work, doctor's appts., etc. Everything else? I have an "I'll get there when I get there" attitude.
Almost everyone arrives late for holidays and family events and I was tired of being there way ahead of everyone else (this is my husband's fault as well; he likes to be earlier than I do) because I felt like we were the "welcoming committee". Then we'd be there the longest waiting for all the other stragglers to show up. So annoying.
My husband still insists on being there first, so most times now I just drive separately and get there with the rest of the bunch.
I blame cellphones. Because it's so easy to text "Running 10 mins late", people do. I find it rude and inconsiderate.
Yep, it makes it much easier to be disrespectful of the time of others. I have a smartphone, but I am NOT "on call" 24/7. I carry it with me, but I only check it when I feel like it or have time, even if I hear a text come in. It's my way of attempting to set some boundaries.
If someone texts me that they will be late and I don't read the text until later? Too bad. I will carry on without you!
I am the same way. I even set my phone to quiet hours from 9 pm to 730am. My phone will auto reply calls and texts during that time. It also enables when I have events in my calendar (like my massage).0 -

I want to post TYLENOL in all caps like that. Someone burned themselves the other day and they posted a picture of it looking pretty infected, asking which oil they should put on it. SMH. I have to stay out of the group because it takes all that I have not to post things like "Use Neosporin", "Go to your doctor, what are you thinking?".

Me too, I totally run on CP time. However, I generally run like 5-30 minutes late, but I have several friends that can literally be more than two to three hours late for things.....
Then I have those friends that are usually on time and get stressed out when I wander out five minutes late. My boss sometimes claps if I am close to being on time for work......

I cannot keep fake powdered cheese products of any sort in the house (except Kraft Mac and Cheese). Examples are Pirates Booty, cheese corn, cheese pringles. I will eat the entire bag. I recently ate the entire bag of the bacon cheddar corn from Trader Joe's. It wasn't that good, not "worth the calories" but once I start I cannot stop. If the urge it too great in the store I'll pour a portion then pour the rest in the trash.0
