I thought I was being so good...I chose the low fat black bean soup at Panera tonight. I did great on calories and fat, but I just realized I am driving 2 girlfriends from Cincinnati to Chicago tomorrow---they may not appreciate my "healthy choice">:blushing: Better go dig out the Beano! Anyways, you all have a wonderful…

Nonibug and abs you are definitely in my prayers. I know that what you are dealing with is so much more than my diagnosis and I wish the best for you both. Everyone, thank you all for the support. I really do appreciate it, but if you catch me being too melodramatic feel free to kick me in my virtual bootie.…

My goal today is not to wallow...I had a muscle biopsy done about 2 months ago (they know I have some sort of Muscular Dystrophy, just not sure which one) and last night my neurologist called with the results. My muscles still look good :happy: , but he thinks I have a mitochodrial myopathy. That means my body doesn't…

I'm so sorry to hear about the job cuts. I know how stressful the not knowing is. My husband's company has made cuts at Christmas the past 5 years! This year the company was bought out by a European company and all kinds of craziness is happening. I have spent so much energy in the past worrying about the what ifs that…

My crazy A&P professor (feel free to use this songbyrd) came in with a full urine specimen jar. He proceeded to tell us how back before "dip sticks" the nurses would have to taste the urine in order to see if there was sugar in it to diagnose diabetes. He then casually undid the lid and took a swig. We all about had a…

How about something like "Perfect 10s" because your goal is to take off the weight 10 pounds at a time...and hopefully, in time we will all be our own version of a perfect 10.

Well, I wouldn't weigh yourself for a couple days. I don't think you will gain any significant weight from indulging today, but Chinese food is VERY salty and you'll probably hold onto water for awhile. Save yourself the heartbreak of watching the scale bounce. And, don't beat yourself up too much. I figure in order for…

I would love to join this group. I've been on MFP for about a month now and was wondering how to "connect" with others. I will let you know I have lost that first 10 lbs with this site and I feel wonderful. Not because I am anywhere near my goal, but because for the first time I feel in control. I can really see myself…

Wow, RAGBRI...that's an impressive goal. I am also originally from Iowa...my aunts and cousins have all done the ride and loved it. I would love to try it, but I think 7 days of riding/camping would kill me. Best of luck. You'll have to let me know when you are going to do it. Maybe I can hook you up with a place to…

For the pain and discomfort, I would call your Dr. in the morning and ask that they call in an RX for Pyridium...which helps with the pain. If they won't do that, you can get an OTC of AZO Standard. It's usually hidden on a bottom shelf. Ask for help finding it, it's worth it. If I remember correctly, it is the same…

Check out this article and you have to watch the video. I'm still laughing about the last 10 seconds! http://tv.yahoo.com/blog/the-biggest-villain-on-biggest-loser--48

First of all, I am so sorry to hear your husband is ill. I have not used a juicer, but a neighbor who also had cancer did and it really improved his energy. My tip to you is this...the fruit/veg. can become quite expensive. We found when we explained the situation to our local grocery store and Costco that they gladly gave…

Ummm...what college do you go to? If it is CS, I am SO sorry. I AM aware of the problem and am trying desperately to do something about it, but in the mean time do you prefer briefs or thongs? I will let you choose for your viewing (dis)pleasure. :tongue:

WTG!!!:happy: Congrats on the 10!

I made this today, not knowing my son's (9 year old) very picky friend would be eating with us. I have never seen him eat anything unprocessed. I just threw some chicken breasts in the crock pot with enough chicken broth to cover and a spoonful of minced garlic. I cooked it all day at low heat. By dinner time it was fork…

Thanks for the great sites...I'm passing them along to the aunties and grandamas. I actually just "stumbled" upon some! I went to Walmart to buy some potatoes for T-Day and low and behold there they were...an entire end cap filled with the little buggers! Yea! Santa does exist!

I will have to check them out as a reward after I lose a few more pounds...don't want to spend $100 on jeans that will be too small in a month. (Here's to positive thinking!)

My mother-in-law just taught that song to my 2 year old nephew and it is ALL he sings...and the kid has no volume control!

I've been cleaning my house to ABBA all day...I can't seem to get it out of my head. This was the perfect outlet. Thanks Kellch for starting it. And not to knock anyone, but I never have quite understood the sandwich thread.

Friday night and the lights are low Looking out for the place to go Where they play the right music, getting in the swing You come in to look for a king _ _ _ _ _ (5 words)

I really like that... Here's one I found last night that I was going to share with MFP. It was in an old Women's World Magazine and it was more about affirmations and connecting with the subconscious. I don't know how effective it is but heck...it only takes a minute, it's free and what could it hurt? I give thanks for…

This is my problem...the curse of the pear!:grumble:

That is so DISTURBING!

Amazing! And you have done this all since April? I feel a little something that feels like hope rising in me. Thanks for sharing your success, you are an inspiration and confirmation that it CAN be done!

I'm kind of in trouble this year, I think. My son is nine and is on the brink of "is Santa real or not". He really wants to believe and I would love to let him stay a kid a bit longer. Some of his friends are so cynical already. He had saved some money and has been looking everywhere for Bakugan toys to buy with it. He…

I guess my mom is a glutton for punishment. She always wore a rubberband so she could "snap some sense" into herself.

This is going to sound strange, but does your daughter have problems with allergies? My son gets what the Dr calls "allergy shiners" and he looks like he has black eyes. People have actually asked me if he got hit with a ball or something (luckily, no one has ever thought I did it) I was just thinking if she has a medical…

Very cool site antzyndam! I'll have to look it over more when my kiddo goes to bed. So, Becky...I won't be running into you at Eastgate?? I love to go just for the entertainment factor. If I get some shopping done great, but I won't tackle anyone for the last Tickle Me Elmo. :laugh:

Anyone brave enough to go shopping on Black Friday? If so, what's your "gotta have it" item and what are you willing to do to get it?
