I'm a fan of paranormal romance for candy books. I like the Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse books ( though they were way different than the true blood series). Love Meljean Brook because she is in the Steampunk genre and I love that. I straight up loved the Julie Anne Long Pennyroyal Green series because it coupled…

40 mins laps front crawl and my weird modified sidestroke.

Also, watching Lucifer on Fox tonight and I loved the Neil Gaiman comic book character it's based on. What a great show!

Do you like it? It was huge a few years ago. How does it read?
-
Is there anything else good on Starz or should I buy it? I want to watch it so badly but I want to binge it not wait each week!

Love dystopian stories! I'll check it out!

Ok, I will totally try them! (Darn you Amazon for your 1 Click options). Ok, my favorite book of all time is probably from my youth: The Riddlemaster of Hed series by Patricia McKillip. They are 3 approximately 220 page books that were written in the 70's as a kind of "response" to the author reading The Lord of the Rings…

I've read all the Immortals After dark series but i feel like Kresley Cole's friendship with Gena Showalter is coming out. The guys started having these horrible pasts rife with abuse and she is seriously hitting every sexual kink hard and (unfortunately) clinically. I am getting pretty bored with her. I don't need a…

I'll have to look for that! I think there was a Pillars of The Earth one too. His books are so long ivr never even tried to read them. Thank goodness for audiobooks!

If I have a goal (like on Goodreads) I'll finish a bad book. But otherwise, I'm taking Nancy Pearl's advice and stopping. Life is too short!

I'm reading A Nation In Pain by Judy Foreman for a science book club. Super interesting look into the issues surrounding chronic pain, how it starts, how it's experienced and what to do about it. Really interesting discussion about the use of opioids and the cycle of pain.

@daj150 Yes they are the shape of your face but the extra serum in the package can be used anywhere. I apply it to my driest areas (face, chest, elbows, arms). Also, after about 10 mins on the face the sheet mask is still saturated and I then reapply to the same areas. Basically before I put on a heavy moisturizer I put on…

Hey all! I'm Clare. Here's a little about myself so we can get acquainted. Like many here I've always been overweight. I've never really dieted before though. I was too perfectionistic to give it a try! Lately it's all been clicking and I finally know how to approach this. I've been of MFP since Feb and am trying to build…

Like a few of you, I love my underwater iPod. For after the pool, it's not a gadget, but I love Korean sheet masks to rehydrate my skin before I get dressed. Also, I love my plastic/rubber (not soft silicone) Mack' s earplugs and get really distracted if water keeps getting in my ear under my cap.

Yes. 50 mins of laps midday.

I am not an expert on this topic. But it seems like there might be some opportunities here depending on what your long term goal is (and depending on if you must remain on someone else's land or if you want mobility). If you're looking for an investment, that is one set of questions. If you are looking for low cost…

It's a weekly calorie deficit! Add a little walk or cut a little somewhere else and it's not even shaking the guilt but mathematically addressing the issue. But also, no guilt! I'm impressed you controlled yourself so well!! I would have a heck of a time keeping it to a 200 calorie overage. So good for you! Minimizing the…

Sammy: so sorry that happened. It can be a bummer to be around people who can't keep in their criticism of the world around them. But it's a great opportunity to work on distancing yourself from the feelings of other people. You have your own "emotional weather system" to attend to. You don't need to start watching the…

I had mine removed and now have problems digesting fats and proteins. However, A. If you're considering surgery and a dr. Wants to give it to you, it's likely not an option to skip it and B. It made me be more careful about food that wasn't great for me, so it actually ended up supporting healthier behavior. Just don't…

I've seen sauces made with pureed mushrooms, nuts and tofu. I think it will depend on what you want in terms of mouthfeel and taste.

Cameron Diaz has an interesting take with slices of pre made oatmeal and some golden caramelized leeks. (Who knew she would be helpful?) My favorite is a traditional breakfast sandwich, but I like adding bulk with sauteed greens, mushrooms, roasted carrots. These can all be pre made so they are easy in the am. Thanks for…

From what I've seen, gluten and dairy have strong links to ibs. Sorry, but an elimination diet will likely give you the best info possible for long term management of your symptoms. Then, armed with accurate info, you can live your life in as pain free a way as possible. Good luck to you! Most people dont get help for ibs.

When you're super stressed, it's often not the vest time to make plans. So I say do what you can to take care of yourself and your kids and put it in perspective. It won't stop you from being a pharmacist, but it might make things a little more difficult. Also, it's through experiences like this that you get better at it…

MJB! Mary J Blige has great music and some pretty inspirational messages. Never gets old!

Until last Sept I was a daily swimmer and I've gone back, after a 6 month break, to 3-4x a week. I'm seeing the same ladies in a shower or swimsuit a lot and over time. Today, while i'm nude, a woman tells me how she can really see the difference in my body. It was a great feeling because I know she was being honest and…

Hello! I'm no expert, but I just asked a similar question yo my MFP friends and this is what I learned. Consider your current ability, and know what you can currently do (or not do). You can chance asking people in the main lifting boards, but I suggest you search the weight lifting or general fitness boards (at the bottom…

I don't know anyone personally but they have stories with pics in the must read general weight loss boards. They collected lots of peiple who have lost weight under different circumstances and have a list on a post pinned to the top. Let me know if you can't find. There are tons of inspirational stories here but also look…
