I don't know who you are, but I just choked on my water reading this. My fiance is the only person I've ever heard use the term "undercarriage" for human anatomy, and he uses it ALL THE TIME. Also, I looked up who that "Not so little debbie" person was because I just happened to see your comment in another thread. So…

I mostly shop at BiLo for that very reason. And it's conveniently located.

Uh oh, we live in the same town... lol... Suddenly, I'm suspicious of Aldi.

Whoa, tons of great responses! Thanks everyone for the input. I have shopped at Aldi before, but it's been a while because, while it is technically geographically close, the location is a pretty huge hassle to get to and from due to traffic at just about any time of the day, especially since they aren't open very late.…

If I want something, I plug it into MFP, stare at the calories and how it affects my day and then decide if it's "worth it" to me. Helps me determine if I really want that particular thing or if something else would work instead.

I used to be a 9-1-1 operator, and I took a call one time for an ambulance where the caller told me that the patient had recently been in the hospital, where she "was innovated". Took me a few to realize he meant "intubated". Also heard on the radio once when I was in high school a lady call in to talk about some various…

I have been on meds for about 2 years now. To be quite honest, I have gone periods of time where I forgot to take it; and, like Gemmi, mine was not great even when I did. I am going back to the Dr in about 4 months to be evaluated again. I have noticed, though, that since I have started consuming more home-cooked meals, my…

The last time I got new gym shoes, I noticed my shins would be numb after I walked on the treadmill. I unlaced the top holes and never had an issue again. I did that on the suggestion of a friend who is a trainer, but if you can't pinpoint the issue on your own, I believe you can go to a running shoe store or the like and…

I don't run cause, frankly, I hate it... but this thread got me thinking about how yesterday I was coming home from the grocery store and saw the girls' high school cross country team running alongside the road. There was a large pack together, and about 20 yards behind them was one solo girl, chugging along. I felt a…

I find that I am hungry no matter what I eat for breakfast. I have gotten to the point I usually don't eat anything right after waking until at least 9:30 or 10 (I get up around 6), then I am fine until lunch. If I eat before I come to work, I am feeling pretty famished by 10. If I don't eat before work, I eat around 10…

I am really leaning this way. I was talking with a coworker this morning about the fact that I did a resistance band workout with Fitnessblender last night that was labeled as "total body" but I did not feel that was the case. I am considering doing some research on exercises using resistance bands that target each area…

Planks... Ugggghhhh! Lol I do walk already. He's 9; old enough to walk but not quite up to the distance and tempo I can do. He is a better partner for things like riding bikes, swimming and playing baseball. I had not seen that, but I will look for sure! I thought about kettlebells. Thanks! I just finished a resistance…

When I was in college, I dated a guy who lived several states away. We only saw each other every few months, so phone calls were pretty much all we had. He would call me when his brother and friends were around and then completely ignore me or sometimes not even call or answer at all. Always an excuse. Then, when I got…

My hair is blonde and straight. It can be colored, I guess (I did a little when I was in high school), but it doesn't like to curl. Except for one little section on the front right side that twirls itself like a ringlet for some strange reason. It is pretty thin, and I used to have a lot of it but lost a good bit of volume…

For the air conditioning in my house AND my car to work!!! :s :'(

Find something else to go to college for. DO NOT marry him. Start saving early. Like. Now.

I know what you mean... I really did it out of curiosity and because I'm hoping it will get me in a position to be a better estimator in the future so that I can learn enough to make it second nature as opposed to "oh, I have to make sure I'm only eating one portion of this" for the rest of my life. For instance, when…

Thanks, guys! I bought a scale over the weekend (cheap, non-digital just to get started) and have been weighing when I can. So I at least know that I'm not "fudging" in other places.

NO VEGGIES!!!! My grandma always has veggies, and there were none to be found. :( I ate the best I could, though, and did not just give up and say "oh well..." and gorge myself. I did indulge. I did log. And I have plenty left for the rest of my day.

My family is getting together today for my nephew's birthday, so my goal is to make good choices out of whatever food is served. Fingers crossed for lots of veggies!

Finding out that after my phone died yesterday, I was able to get a new phone, screen protector and cases for me and my son for less than $40 up front, AND it lowered my monthly bill by $5.

Splurged on a snack but logged it honestly and managed the rest of my day to still be under for the day.

Ummm... Yes. I have done the same thing as you described! Also, I have started a day strong before and then screwed it all up at night and just "neglected" to finish logging for the day. Mostly due to embarrassment. But, I went to the mall today with my kid. He wanted some ice cream, so we went to the Toll House place in…

I totally agree with the bacon! Also cheese, ranch dressing and peanut butter (grew up on Jif, just can't eat anything else).

Hi! I recently returned to MFP. I used it last year and lost 40lbs (which I am embarrassed to say I have gained almost ALL back). I am looking to lose at least 100 as well. Add me if you like!

That's incredible! I am super proud of you, and I don't even know you! lol Thank you for being an inspiration and sharing your progress with us!

Feel better about myself. Go outside and run and play and be a good role model for my son. Not feel like I need to put my bag over my belly when I sit so I'm covered up. Shop for clothes! Not worry I'm too big for a ride at a theme park. Or a seat on an airplane. Also... This is maybe a little silly... But I have always…

I have a drawer in the fridge at work (dental assistant), and i keep stuff in it like: string cheese greek yogurt veggies (i like carrot chips and mini sweet peppers) fruits (currently watermelon, cantaloupe and cherries) I also keep a bag stocked with stuff like pistachios, popcorn, beef jerky, and maybe some sweet 100…

Yes! Me! Add me! I'm (restarting) working on at least 100.

Yes, friends! More friends!
