Chicago is my home town. I still live near there. VERY near there... This will be my first winter working out. I belong to a gym that is in the same shopping plaza as my grocery store, bank, etc... so I have every reason to believe I should be able to get there a couple of times a week at least. Otherwise, cable has dance…

I like the Christmas herbal tea flavors. Bigelow™ Ginger Snappish with lemon and Celestial Seaoning™ Candy Cane Lane give the scents that feel Christmassy, and some of the flavor (though not the texture, of course). Mostly it feeds the sense of smell for me, and that helps me a lot right now. What about next week, when…

Tomorrow should be 90 days for me. I plan on printing all my reports out. I also love the fact that it changes the calorie goals based on weight loss. Dumb as it sounds, I wouldn't have thought to do that. (But then when I would diet, I wouldn't give myself so many calories in the first place, and would find I was hungry…

click on tools at the menu bar. It's bring you to a page that will tell you how to get a ticker.

I do know how you feel. :flowerforyou: (I have 100 pounds listed as my goal, but God help me ( I mean it, I'm not taking His name in vain...), I need to lose more than twice that. Yep. 100 pounds is my "mini" goal! :sad: ) But punishing yourself isn't going to help. Buy yourself ONE nice outfit that you can wear throughout…

If it was CLEAR he wasn't kidding, I would have either said, 1) Thank you (name on tag) for the advice. I think I'll go let a manager know the advice you've given me and that I just may choose to take it! *********************** OR ******************************* 2) I am choosing not to report this incident to the manager…

Is it going down better than yesterday?

I still think if it tastes like strawberry banana, it should be very, very, very cold when you drink it.

Bumpumpbedump.. or as most people around here say "BUMP"

At least now with the Christmas lights at some houses, we have an excuse!! :wink:

If she doesn't get sleep, then she will be unhealthy! A balance needs to be found so they can BOTH get the rest they need in order to be healthy.

My husband uses a CPAP. In the beginning, it kept me up at night, but I like to go to bed later than him.. The machine starts out quiet. By going to bed the same time as him and falling asleep before it got loud, things got better. (If I didn't, I'd have to go to bed only when I was so exhausted I'd drop in order to fall…

I could have told her having a baby with a vampire was a bad idea. But she never asked, and I wasn't paying attention.....

Mainly they are hoping for a follow back. Many are marketers, often "spammers". They look influential if they have a lot of followers, so they follow people hoping to be followed in return, and later unfollow.

I LOVE that cartoon!!!!!!!!!

I read your whole post, but all I can think about is that my first thought after reading the TITLE of your post is "Oh no... I had pistachio nuts for breakfast....." :laugh:

I am a very big woman, and I have never had a problem with mean people at the gym (belonged for three months). Even the young and fit crowd are very positive. Plus, no matter what they are thinking privately in their heads, I know that in a year, they will be thinking "she did well..."!

Maybe freeze it, or at least put it in the freezer long enough to get very very cold...:drinker:

I suspect that the reason these posts appear is because once a person switches from fattening food to healthy food, they find they can eat a greater amount of healthy food for the same calories what they once ate cost them.

Yes, I was nervous about it, too. I still get that way. I won't weigh myself during my time of the month, and I didn't do my Saturday weigh in the weekend after Thanksgiving (I was "good", but I could have been "better"). I WILL weigh in on December 3. How do I deal with weigh ins? I suppose the honest answer is "badly".…

A woman named Anitarita left this on GemaG's thread... "Just take it one day at a time! And if one day you get off track, just try again the next day. Nobody ever lost weight by eating right for ONE day, but nobody ever gained weight by getting off track for one day either. " I, Helenatrandom, left this on the same thread!…

Wow, THAT is good! Seriously, if I had taken that to heart at least ONE of the umpteen times I've dieted, I wouldn't be in the mess I am in now! Take Anitarita's advice to heart, Gemma!

I'm only 20 down, but for me its seems to be my face, arms, fingers.... I'd really like to see my hips, legs, and bottom go first! :laugh: I suppose the only thing that really matters is that they will be gone eventually! Congratulations on 67 pounds gone! :drinker:

And why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway..

Didn't your Physical Therapist give you stretches and other exercises to do? She or he should do more than tell you "exercise your core". She or he should be having you DO the exercises in his or her presence, and assigning which ones you should do on your own.

I believe people can change. BUT, if he said he changed, then cheated AGAIN, I would think that the kindest thing to do for oneself is to wish him well and let him go. I know it's trite, but "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me..."

I used to have a pretty face (My momma always said self praise stunk, but I'm a Christian, so I must be honest, :wink: }, but last year I noticed how very...... full it became. It was no longer "If only you'd lose weight... You have such a pretty face...." and just "If only you'd lose weight...". I'm working on it now, and…

I would have been hurt and angry with her, too. But from a distance, I have to feel sorry for such a miserable witch. Really, I doubt anyone likes her at all, probably making her even meaner. Now that she is old, it'll be hard for her to develop a personality less grating than sand paper. So sad....

Ah.... But the REAL question is Redi-whip or Cool Whip? Don't tell me you whip cream from scratch for him?
