I had a 4-month follow-up with my hip surgeon on Wednesday (went through a hip replacement in late February). After verifying that everything was still in place and I was healing well, the surgeon turned to asking me what I planned to do to lose weight. He pointed out that the new hip will likely last longer if I was not…

I have fairly basic taste in chocolate. My favorites are milk chocolate M&Ms and plain Hershey bars/kisses. Once in awhile I mix it up with Dove promises or a seasonal flavor of something (really enjoyed the Caramel Apple Ghirardelli squares this year).

Ben and Jerry's Phish Food is one of my favorite indulgences. I love the Nestle drumsticks for individual portions. And Ben and Jerry's has a seasonal flavor out right now called Glampfire Trail. A little bit of saltiness mixed in with the sweet!

Scrambled, just plain. With a side of buttered toast

Vanilla cone. Also the chocolate malt cup. That would remind me of the minor league baseball games I went to as a kid where they served those with a little wooden paddle to use for eating.

Yep, I used to live in a 500 square foot studio apartment and still had room to use Leslie Sansone videos!

Everything else here in New Jersey is shutting down at 8 p.m. Why not the intestines as well? ;)

Salmon. Whenever my parents had it when my brother and I were young, they gave us fish sticks and neither of us ever tasted salmon. The smell of it alone is enough to turn me away from it.

From the age of 18 until about 2 years ago at age 39, the only times I even had my period were when I was on birth control or taking Metformin for PCOS. I even went as long as a year and a half without it in my early twenties. For some reason, right around my 39th birthday it started coming regularly on its own, and it has…

I'd try all of the Cheesecake Factory cheesecakes and other desserts to see which ones I really like. Not the whole dessert, just a small bite of each. Enough to taste it, not make me too full!

I'm from Washington (state) and grew up calling it pop. When I moved to New Jersey, the woman at the supermarket register asked where I was from when I called it pop, because I always hear soda out here. After that, I call it soda when I'm in New Jersey and revert back to pop when I go home for visits. In my head it's…

Not sure how "petty" this is, but I don't think I've ever been thin. Ever. Even when I was born I was a little over 11 pounds, and as a young kid I was maybe a little chubby before finally really starting a large weight gain around age 9 or 10. I'd like to see myself at a normal weight range for the first time in my life.…

LOL! Thanks for sharing!

I don't have any kids but love to hand out candy and see costumes. This year I put together treat bags with two chocolate items, two non-chocolate items, and a small notebook. Hopefully everyone can have at least one thing in the bag, and it's clear so parents can see what's in there.
