I jumped on my sister because the voices told me to. :devil: ***Wow, you don't even know how accurate that statement is! Whenever my sister and I used to get in trouble, we'd tell our mom, "The voices in my head told me to do it!"

2206 + 5 = 2211

Love it! :laugh: I just sent it off to a bunch of my girlfriends..hope to give them all a Monday morning giggle. You are one funny gal. Thanks for sharing!

I have a friend who uses her camera phone to take a picture of everything she eats throughout the day (even snacks)...then she has a visual reminder of what she ate. I don't know if you have a camera phone, but if you do it's worth a "shot'. :wink:

I guess if I just looked at my calories I would consider today a "horrible day". I took my son out to a movie today and I just let myself thoroughly enjoy some popcorn. I know that tomorrow I will watch my intake a little closer, but I also know that if this diet is going to work it's got to have "wiggle room" for real…

Wow! I can't wait to get to a fitness level where a half marathon in the morning "slips my mind"! Kudos to you for using your healthy body to help a worthy cause. Didn't mean to butt into you chat, I just wanted to wish you well on your walk/run.

I like mine with pineapple chunks. My stepdad used to eat it with French dressing and green olives---yuck! I can't say I ever tried it, but the smell was bad enough.

Welcome and congratulations on your weight loss so far. I just started about a week and a half ago (right before Halloween, so I'd have to be accountable for all the candy I pilfer from my son's stash). Best of luck on the rest of your weight loss.

I love my pedometer...but make sure you splurge for the $3 clip/tether. I can't tell you how many I've lost in the toilet! Congrats on the high numbers. I've started putting how many steps I take in my food diary notes just to see if high numbers equal more weight loss.

Not so much a suggestion for work, but as to how you can get "new" toys and clothes for Christmas. Check online and see if there is a Freecycle group in your area. I belong to one here (Cincinnati) and it's kind of like Craig's List, but everyone is giving their things away. All you have to do is list what you need (or…

Tresa1234 you are such an encouraging force. That's what has drawn me to this site. It seems like such a positive place. Everyday I read something that makes me giggle and it reminds me not to be so hard on myself. Thank you for always having something nice to say...it is appreciated even if it wasn't specifically directed…

I live in Ohio too, but we moved here from Chicago so we always kind of laugh at the "snow" days here. I agree about holding on to autumn though... I was so sad yesterday. My son was shaking all the leaves from the trees and now they are all naked and sad looking.

I am so glad you explained that picture...I saw it the other day and was wondering if you were in some sort of Amish wedding!

I just made a ticker and this is my excuse to see if it works. I was wondering what made you choose your ticker? I uploaded a picture of my son from vacation this year. I love the pic. because he is so happy, in the moment and so un self-conscious...all the things I want to be. Instead, I was on the beach observing because…

I had to have the barium swallow done this spring---I ended up throwing up in their parking lot. If you think it's bad going down...you haven't tasted anything until you've had it come back up! I know how frustrating the diagnosis part can be. I hope everything comes back okay.

I had lost about 40 lbs (found out later it was because I was sick...the surgery and meds. made me gain it all back + some:mad: ). But, during my brief skinny period my neighbor said, " Wow, you've really lost a lot of weight (nice), but I guess some people are always going to have big hips and thighs.:explode: I thought…

I'm pretty new, so I'm not sure where you all "draw the line". But, after reading these posts I don't think I will offend anyone. I love the Fiber One bars, but am also a victim to their undisclosed side effects. There is a company called Flat-D Innovations that has a product (Subtle Butt) that you place in your underwear…

I have a digital scale that is very old and temperamental. I have to place it within the same linoleum squares in the bathroom in order to get a "consistant" reading. I am looking to replace it and was wondering if anyone had a scale they just love (as if that is possible) that they would recommend. Thank you.

I've noticed that if I cut my fat intake too drastically (even if I'm doing everything else right) I end up constipated. The only thing that seems to help is taking a stool softener (Colace). If you figure out a better fix, let me know...

Thank you all for the ideas. I checked out the BMR and it's nice to see how much I can eat without lifting a finger to burn it. I have definitely been working with my Dr.s, but if any of you have ever dealt with a neurologist you'll know that they are a very busy breed and hard to pin down. At this point, my weight gain…

I just joined mfp last week and I am really enjoying reading some of the posts...I was hoping to get some help. I have been banned from exercising for about 6 months and I don't know when or if I will ever be able to exercise again. I have a metabolic disorder that causes my muscles to break down when I exercise. So,…
