I know you specify canned soup, but I like to add vegetables, green onions, low sodium soy sauce and browned ground beef or turkey to Ramen Soup.

Thank you!

I've been here since last September, but since January 1 I have lost 13 pounds. I have a long way to go still (unfortunately, my ticker only shows my "mini" goal, because I can't handle seeing how very far I have yet to go...), but am 13 pounds in the right direction since January, and 41 pounds in the right direction…

@peachled You joined mfp in January.

@ValHallaGirl You are female.

Good to know! Even my "bad" days have shown I would weigh less than I did at that moment, so it made forgiving myself and moving on easier.

Enjoy your beer, dude! :drinker: I haven't had a beer in a while, but the thought of NOT being ALLOWED to have one would send me straight to the fridge for one to drown out the sorrow of not being able to have one. Yes. Convoluted, but there you go. Being allowed to have whatever I want so long as I work it in makes me…

I think it is human nature to think the way we do things is best (otherwise we would change it if we thought otherwise, right?). I also think friends try to help one another, but sometimes go too far. Yes, your friends are going too far. Have you told your doctor what you are doing to lose weight? I ask, because this way…

Good question. For the last six months, I've forgiven myself and moved on, but then, I was usually over by less than 100 calories most days. Saturday I was at a St. Patrick's Day celebration, and I was over by more than one thousand calories. Forgiving myself is a little harder today. I like the suggestion made by allypri.…

Doe she really think she is all that, or is she looking for reassurance that her husband is lucky to have her, and that is all the poor thing can come up with? I'm bigger than any of the women my husband dated before me ( one of them, not by much, plus I'm a bit taller). Anyway, my husband is lucky to have me because I…

Bump!

I refuse to celebrate Earth Day until all of the planets have a day to call there own, and Pluto is reinstated.

I'm just curious.. Why did you (or your "friend") decide to take a sip (or slug?) of Old Spice?

Shamrock shakes are only available for a limited time every year. I had one on Sunday. I don't feel bad for it either. I can go forever and a day without a chocolate of vanilla shake from McDonald's because in theory I could have it anytime, but it RUINS MY YEAR if I can't have a shamrock shake. Besides. It's healthy…

I don't know where I'd be without my orthotics. I don't even where slippers during the day. Shoes with orthotics, ALL DAY LONG. But, my feet feel better with them, so that is what counts.

It's not that I don't see your point in celebrating those who did it right in the first place, it's just that it's hard to find the right time and right way for every single instance. If someone says to me "I've never tried alcohol in my life and I really don't want any" I'll say "Good for you!" Same if it's meat,…

I see your point. HOWEVER..... Then should we say kudos to those who never smoked a cigarette, never tried a joint, never drank alcohol, never mainlined.... etc. It IS an achievement to do it right in the first place, but it's hard to pick and choose every little thing someone did right. It is much easier to notice a…

Actually, I think she meant me, but I haven't argued with her, because I have to agree. I actually am quite annoying.

I KNOW you MEANT the LACK of wrinkles don't lie! :wink:

Well, he did suggest using cheap sunscreen on my face to prevent aging! My Momma always suggested the same to prevent sunburn, so there you go! He is as accurate about health and wellness as my Momma. Don't you DARE say anything negative about my Momma!

Well at least HE did something about crime, and not just sat on his *kitten* discussing who gets to be called a real superhero with his advanced technological gadgets.

I am so sorry for your loss. Both of my parents are gone now, too. My daddy died of lung cancer when I was 23, and my mother died 17 years later of a heart attack (2 years ago). While I don't know what it is like to lose them so close together, or both by the age of 31, I know grief. The pain DOES ease, though you will…

Forgive yourself stat! Guilt will only make you feel lower, which will require another spoonful, which will start the cycle again! Forgive yourself, play your favorite song (or three) on itunes, then go study for your final. STAT! :flowerforyou:

Q:What do you get when you take the sun and divide its circumference by its diameter? A: Pi in the sky. I wish I would have remembered it was Pi day earlier. Then I could have made Tuna Pot Pie for dinner.

I figure that in a women's locker room, I may as well just turn around so I'm not giving anyone a view of something that will give them nightmares later, but I don't worry about being covered up. Undies on quickly. Bra on quickly. Then the rest of it, who cares? As for at the beach, I'd rather just put the towel on the car…

Thank you! You are one of the reasons I am so happy to be here! :flowerforyou:

Peanut butter! Delicious AND filling! Unless, of course, the device also shows I was WAY under potassium all day. Then I'd have the almonds. (I know you all thought I was going to say banana, BUT with the almonds, I'd get the satisfaction of nuts AND some potassium!)
