    Oh look the forum made me post twice again...

    I don't know why that always happens to you and a few others...weird! I've never had it happen, and now I've probably jinxed myself!



    It happens on my phone, not on the web, for me. Wondering for the others that get it all the time if it's only mobile? The one that's really irritating me, at least twice in the past few weeks I've had food double log in my diary. The first time I caught it, it posted everything twice, so after I finished freaking out about the 3000+ calorie day, I figured out the problem. The next time, it only posted a few things twice, and I didn't notice til the next day that I'd been shorted 200 calories.

    I laugh because I don't have to send my 'kids' to college or buy them a car. ;)

    In the meantime they're free labor, though. Even better, when they're really little, they think folding laundry and unloading the dishwasher is actually fun :p

    I haven't cleaned a bathroom or ran the vacuum in 15 years (the oldest is 31) my two youngest are 15 and 16. I am going to miss them when they move out in a couple of years. I will have to pay for a cleaning service. The older children's SOs rave about their cooking and house keeping abilities. I told the kids when I was raising them, I was teaching them life skills. I lied, I just taught them to do the jobs I didn't like. ;)

    I'm still super far behind in this thread but this made me lol. I have 4 children and I always use the phrase "life skills" for things they will need to know to get through life and "life lessons" for truths everyone learns eventually... usually the hard way.

    One day my 13 year old daughter said "how many of these life skills are there?' She was so hopeful that I was checking things off a list and eventually the list would be done so I would stop asking them to do things. :D

    I love it!!!

    Hi there! Once my gym mate did wear the same thing... It mimics the effect of those "sauna suits" I do have one. It makes me sweat a lot... And by. That I mean a lot..


    Stay hydrated though... It may cause heatstroke and dehydration....
    Drink water frequently...
    Feel free to add me :)

    Palmetto bugs are massive. Like they're bulked up on steroids. :flushed:
    When I saw my first Palmetto bug, my DOH! handed me a can of Raid. I looked at him like he was crazy and screamed, "What do you want me to do? Hit it over the head with it?!"

    Truly a terrifying moment.

    The randomness of this thread never ceases to entertain.

    The chocolate powder post, the peanut butter post and the dirty gym clothes posts seem to be quoted and responded to most often, but occasionally we get a response to the first post of this thread. I don't know why I find that amusing.

    I've only tried the regular Oreos. I love the double stuff kind.

    I love the double stuff golden oreos. I've finished a bag in a day :blush:

    I love golden oreos the best. Haven't tried the double stuff ones though. We have birthday cakes ones here currently... I like them. But I think I still like the golden ones with chocolate filling the best.

    I keep wanting to eat today. Also got very peeved weighing my '190' calorie granola bar to see that it was really 214 calories, so now I only have 258 calories left for dinner. When you have that little left, 24 calories makes quite a bit of difference...

    Oreo Birthday Cake Ice Cream! I found this once and it was godly, haven't been able to fidn it since :(

    I'm assuming it's because of different time zones, but when I get in here there are always 100+ new posts, I catch up and then it's like *crickets* for the rest of my afternoon.

    I'm bored at work, guys, I need some distractions!

    Confession: I kind of hate when people respond to a post that is NOT the first post in a thread without quoting it. Mostly because I get confused, especially if the responded-to post is several [hundred] pages back.

    Maybe it's just me...

    You'all and your Oreos. Gosh. I had to have one.

    Some days I just say 'screw it', have a couple extra cookies, and eat at maintenance or a bit above. It's going to be one of those days.

    Confession: I stayed up way later than I should have finishing a book last night...but still got up at 5 to go to the gym, so at least there's that.

    Taking a few days off from the gym while I was away definitely did me some good. Felt stronger lifting today!

    That happens with me, as well... and somehow always 'surprises' me, somewhat... and despite my being able to posit various plausible theories as to 'why' such a reality occurs (i.e. stronger after being 'away' from such for a few days), I nonetheless find myself surprised anew, each and every time it happens... :)

    (...it's as though the possibility of 'deconditioning' -- and specifically, the concept thereof -- has some sort of 'armwrestling match' (somewhere in my mind) with the 'rest can result in gained strength' concept... and always seems to come out the wary 'winner'... until reality suddenly 'raises the arm' of the 'gained strength' 'contestant'... ;) )

    (...what is perhaps most likely the case, however, is that I know I can't 'predict' or otherwise 'count on' any specific episode of 'rest' resulting in gained or otherwise 'renewed' strength, and thus... would seem to err on the side of caution, and 'brace myself', somewhat, for the potential reality of having 'lost' something, strength-wise, or stamina-wise... (which is perhaps 'best', what with it subsequently allowing for my being pleasantly surprised each and every time a subsequent post-rest gain is observed/experienced... :) ))

    I get the same way. I assume going to the gym 6 days a week will make me stronger/faster, but really, if I took a day or two off, I'd be in better shape by day 6 than if I pushed myself to the limit for the previous 5. Logic has no place here.

    No, not just you. The first part of that post had me confused, since we hadn't been discussing "wearing" anything lol.

    No, it's all down to anxiety. I know it seems strange, but in kids anxiety presents a lot like ADHD - trouble sitting still, excessive talking, impulsive behavior and along with that the anxious kids get panic attacks and obsessive thoughts. He did do really well and I'm hoping he can continue to try that technique, it was just a little frustrating to hear him put it like that since I have been intimately familiar with all his teachers and office staff for the last five years.

    Aw, that sounds so stressful for him. I have generalized anxiety disorder with panic attacks and ocd behaviours (not like typical ocd but non-stop intrusive though). I also have adhd and thus why I asked. I've had anxiety since childhood and two of my sons have it in varying degrees but haven't had too much disruption yet in classroom (interrupting, not focusing, etc). Well, a it's manageable amount for now...sending you best of luck. I might have to try that technique with my own kids!

    For clarification: I did not mean BZAH10's post, since it was an observation, not a response! But it reminded me that we get a lot of "responses" to things on like, Page 6, When we're at 546.

    I was so flippant about my food baby/gain after that giant May Day brunch, thinking it'd go away in a few days. It hasn't. I'm STILL gaining, despite going back to normal (even more restricted than normal) eating. I'm up almost another pound in five days and it's doing my head in because I tend to let what I weigh in the morning dictate how I feel for the rest of the day. I've been angry at myself for a week now. (That on top of the work stress I'm buckling under is not helping. *sigh*)

    Not worth it! Toss the scale or put it away for a while. Rely on measurements and how you feel in your clothes. That silly # on the scale should not dictate your day. Sorry about the work stress.

    I do sometimes stop to wonder why I fixate so much on the number on the scale. I mean, no one (apart from nurses at health checkups) has ever asked me point-blank: "How much do you weigh?" Also, for the last two days, I've felt pretty okay about my body in the morning before I stepped on the scale. Then I weigh myself and *poof* goes that good mood. Meh.

    I should probably stop weighing myself every day. Make it once a week or go a month without weighing myself at all.

    ... wow, I sound whiny today. Here, people, have a kitten:

    And thank you for the sympathies, @BZAH10!
