    I'm eating a 100 calorie pack of kettle corn popcorn and I burnt at least half of it ... but I'm still eating it.

    correction, it's 110 calories.

    I confess that I tried on a tank top last night, then came home and almost immediately tried out @BZAH10's shoulder work out. I used 2.5lb weights and quite literally felt the burn.

    Whoohoo! Good for you - keep it up! It really works.

    My confession is that I can't see a thread titled "Intermitting Fasting" without thinking of "intermittent FARTING"...

    Then this, my dear, is the thread for you:

    http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/695972/intermittent-farting

    I'm considering trying this... I hear protein ones are the best :wink:

    lmao I'm only one page into that thread & am trying not to burst out laughing.

    Confession: I am a 30 year old woman and have the sense of humour of an 8 year old boy.

    40 here and I have a teenage boys sense of humor so maybe you'll mature

    So there's hope for me yet! :smiley:

    Welcome to the club! Hope you'll join us (err.. think it's just me at this point) making the non-perky shoulder workout video. :)

    Yes please! I have broad shoulders but very doughy arms. I'll be the asthmatic girl in the way back, struggling to keep up.

    Trust me, you won't be struggling to keep up if I'm the instructor. However, you may well be hypnotized by the batwings flapping away merrily on my twiggy arms.

    Both of my children have a first name that begins with the letter "r". I'm sure it's annoying to others. (Idgaf)

    Also, both names are super old timey.

    I love old timey names! One of my friends just had a baby and named her Hazel. So cute. My name begins with an "R" and is biblical old timey! :)

    @overlook237 Is it Rahab or Ruth?!

    I read that as Rehab and was like "WHAT", second look I realise it's not. Never heard of that name, but it's better than Rehab.

    Rahab was a prostitute ;)

    They tried to make me go to Rahab would be a totally different song.

    Okay, now it's running through my head. Thanks a lot! ;-) I'll probably end up making up some words, too.

    The White Fudge Oreos are glorious.

    why can't we get such glorious creations in Canada (w/o having to order it & cost a fortune)? you guys in the States get all the good stuff!

    Agreed! Frustrating!

    Tell us what you think of The Cotton Candy Oreos.

    I'm also on the lookout for the Skippy Caramel Peanut Butter.

    No luck finding the Skippy. But I got the cotton candy oreos, and they're not bad, but a bit too sweet/bland for me.

    BLEH no time to read the last pages. Will catch up later. You all are posting too much.

    Talking about names, mine in Melany. Spelt with a Y at the end. NO ONE gets it right.

    I've heard every variation on it. Melody, Melony, Melanie, even melANie (extenuate the "on") etc... I'm like just call me Mel, please.

    Then there were *kitten* from high school who used to call me Smelany *sshole, because my last name rhymed with it. I was never amused by it.

    Though it is funny now.

    The there are my half siblings.
    Laurie
    Lisa
    Lance
    Lynnie
    Lon
    Lee.

    Talk about all L's. It was VERY confusing growing up.

    Also, another fun fact, my middle name and my sister's rhyme.

    Even funnier? My mom and dad's do as well. Jane and Wayne. Hah, found it hilarious growing up.

    My mother always used to say a rhyme to me as well;
    Melly Belly, Jelly Belly, Melly Belly boo. I thought it was cute.

    @ddrhellbunny

    My name is Melany, too!! I have only met like one other Melany who spells it with a Y. I get all the same wrong spellings as you do. Just call me Mel, too. Lol.

    HAH! that's awesome, I have never met another melany, let alone someone who spells it with a Y. Our mother's have done us right :wink:

    Briefly back to the doctor discussion (although not the gynecologist as I avoid them like the plague). I have something called dextrocardia. What it is is that my heart is actually on the wrong side of my body. I have known this for years. 2 years ago I had it confirmed that I actually have my whole upper body switched (mirror image). It's pretty rare (usually happens in twins though I am not a twin and there is no history of twins in the family).

    Most doctors have never seen it. I think it's really funny to go to the doctor and not tell them. Then they break out the stethoscope and start trying to listen to my heartbeat. They NEVER admit they can't find it. I'll wait a few minutes as they get increasingly frantic then will tell them to try the right side. Often they won't believe me. Until I say I have dextrocardia. Then they all all fascinated and start dragging in everyone in the office to check it out. At that point it gets a bit embarrassing but for a few moments I get a laugh out of it.

    I have systemic mastocystosis with urticaria pigmentosa (a surplus of mast cells in my body and itchy spots head to toe). It requires, amongst other specialist visits, bi-annual trips to the dermatologist. Masto is classified as a rare disease (worldwide it affects about 1/20,000 to 1/40,000 people) and the type of adult form I have isn't usually diagnosed until people hit their 60s, but I got pegged with it in my early 20s. Hence the giant teaching exam room they stick me with on every visit. I'm pretty sure they actually schedule med students to come in on days when I have my appointments. During my last visit, there were literally 11 people in the room with me. I feel your embarrassment on a spiritual level!

    That sounds very difficult to live with and I admire your attitude. With your sense of humor, I'm betting that your twice-yearly appointment is a draw as well, and the reason why you have a returning audience.

    I have had a similar experience but only one time. Confession mode: In college I managed to get a case of epic athlete's foot. Not the usual itchy stuff killed off by a spray and improved hygiene -- it was a severe fungal infection that made it painful to walk, with socks soaked with oozing plasma. Went in to the student health center and the doc made sure that every nursing student and medical employee in the place paraded by to see this rare condition. It was a bit embarrassing for a 20 year old. Upshot was I was told to get rid of the cheap canvas sneakers (those rubber-covered toe boxes don't breathe) and I ended up buying Birkenstock sandals that I couldn't afford for health reasons, not because of any affinity for patchouli.

    Yeah, socks with sandals guy, that was me. Because fungal feet.

    You may now return to your non-disgusting discussion.

    I'm thinking you did everyone a favor by wearing the socks in this case! Sorry you went through that. Sounds terribly painful. As much as I dislike the socks and sandals look there are plenty of feet out there in sandals that should NOT be seen. Ewwww.

    Truer words have never been spoken!

    and because I have seen this name used .. to .. death, I hate the name Nevaeh. Pfft, cheesy.

    Sorry if I offended anyone. :blush:

    I knew a couple that named their first daughter Lexys, and told everyone "no jokes, please!"

    ... their last name was Carr.

    My partners cousin always wanted a daughter called Grace. Then she married her husband and his surname is Squirrel. So she decided that would never happen.

    I remember hearing about a lady would called her two daughters Strawberry and Champagne. I almost died...

    My Name is Lois (obviously) a lot of people don't know how to pronounce it and go for Louise instead. I used to get angry about it but it doesn't bother me anymore, I actually get embarrassed about correcting them. The worst one was in Starbucks, (now they ask for your name) and someone put Lawrence. So in the space of 2 minutes I'm supposed to change gender?

    My nick names growing up are Lo, Lo Lo, Lu, Lu Lu, Lois Lane (ha ha :neutral: ) and the most ridiculous one? 'Little Hi, Little Lo, Little Jiggelo Jo' *kitten* knows why...

    My sister named her daughters Snowy and Sunny - last name is Winters!

    One of my cousins' ex had a daughter from a previous relationship.
    First name: Sunshine
    Middle name: Vodka

    Personally, I do it 3 - 4 times a week. However, I've gone a bit overboard, so now I've set reminders to get back to doing more planks. Those things kill me no matter how often I do them! I've gotten lax with those. I was up to 3 90 sec. planks per day. I'm going to get back to that. Bonus: holding my body in plank position (I lean on my elbows) works my shoulders, too.

    Confession- I try to avoid talking to my coworkers about counting calories and exercise because I'm afraid they will judge me. Like yeah right fatty you don't work out or eat healthy. I hate when people bring snacks in and I have to decline repeatedly. The judgment is probably all in my (anxious) head though.

    I don't mind talking about it - they've seen my loss. What bugs me is when there are people I work with that yo-yo diet and when you try to educate them to help them or give them advice they look at you like you are from another planet and insist on doing their own plan. it never works. It is because of this I stopped talking about it.

    Very early in this thread someone, and I wish I could remember who it was, said that when people ask them how they are losing weight they would say, 'I did it by eating pine cones'. I still randomly remember that and giggle!

    Don't you hate it when you're excited to try something and it's just not that good? I LOVE candy corn and was so excited about the candy corn Oreos but they were only meh. Also Starburst had some candy corn that was disappointing to me as well. Neither one actually tasted like candy corn
