BTW, my profile pic isn't directed at you or this post! I was feeling "impish" the day I took it and posted. I guess I still do.

I know what you mean. I've seen those who complain about too many TOM posts.. .(Uh... yeah, your period CHANGES as you get older, and it can change when you change habits, and some of us need to ask these things...) I've seen people suggest that when we say we are hypothyroid, we are just making excuses.. (uh... it DOES…

Uh...No... she was saying "damned if you do, damned if you don't", and by the very same people. "You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time." I think she'd add "and some people you…

She wasn't the right girl for him. My husband didn't give me flowers until we had been dating for four months. It was my birthday, and he was out of town, so he sent them. BUT, he did open the car door for me on our first date (and many more, though now, not so much.. :laugh: ). He walked me to my door at the end of the…

:laugh: (I'm assuming that you are being sarcastic! If I thought you were serious, I'd be using a different "Smiley" altogether!)

It backfires. Especially if they have been working at it. I've had STRANGERS tell me I need to lose weight! These people didn't know that I had already lost weight, and that their little spiel discouraged me so much, I went home, gave up, gained it back and then some! (For those of you who will take me to task for blaming…

This is NOT a stupid problem! Take a friend with you when you go to try on clothing. Or maybe your SO? I can imagine not knowing what I'll look good in when I've lost some weight.

If I buy Ritz crackers, I can't just eat the five in the serving size. I find I eat the whole row. I haven't bought ritz crackers in a long time.. I HAVE eaten them with cheese at a party. I limit myself to three, and walk away...

Fozzy Bear is the only celebrity I feel I could date without cheating on my husband. :smile: If I had to date a celebrity, it would definitely be Fozzy Bear. <a href="http://media.photobucket.com/image/fozzy bear/acerunner09/fozzybear.jpg?o=12" target="_blank"><img…

BUMP

I can't find that on the list! I have considered logging it in as "wrestling", but I'm not sure how accurate that is! It's not like either of us are trying to get out of the hold....:bigsmile: (and neither of us has ever "lost" a bout! :wink: )

Cooking as a daily activity, no (unless I'm so exhausted I would have ordered take out pre mfp under similar circumstances).. Cooking Thanksgiving Dinner all by myself, including setting the table? You bet! I know mfp is off, so I only count for 25% of the time spent cooking. Same for cleaning. Day to day chores don't get…

You have nice shoulders.

I'm sure your patients will be inspired by your sincerity. Truly.

If I had my way, it would have been named "Fred". Don't mind me. Sometimes I think I'm funny when I'm actually not...

I'd check it out, but higher science is not my forte. (I DO like making volcanoes with vinegar and baking soda, though! :wink: )

You hurt her, she hurt you.... You BOTH need to step away for a bit. I don't know what she is thinking. But I do know that your boys are most likely more confused than you are and don't need their dad emotionally invested in a confusing relationship right now. If you are feeling insecure, that will be transferred to your…

Did you ever hear the joke about the cowboy who bought his boots two sizes too small because it felt so good when he took them off? I exercise because it feels SO good to stop! :laugh: Okay, seriously, I'm very big and working on mobility as well as weight loss. My knees no longer hurt going up and down the stairs, so YAYY…

My hubs and I go together. I do whatever, he does stationary bike. Sometimes I do stationary bike right next to him.

Fudge mint covered oreos! They only come out this time of year! Last year I REALLY overdid it in December and went through 4 or 5 boxes. My husband, being the GENIUS that he is, suggested we buy 4 or 5 boxes this year and FREEZE them so that I can make them last throughout the year! It was all I could do to keep from…

Yepl. All of the above. And remember, it's not what you say, but how you say it!

10 years ago we had Steve Jobs, Bob Hope, and Johnny Cash.. Now we have no jobs, no hope, no cash. LONG LIVE KEVIN BACON!!!!!!!!!

Actually, I tried using the search button to prove that very point, and didn't find anything on this topic. So either she really did post a brand new topic, or the search button doesn't always find similar topics. I think we need to make allowances for new people, too. I was one of those people who felt the need to post…

Loose pants were caught on the exercise bike, which I had situated too high for me. I couldn't get off the bike! Luckily my husband was at the gym with me. I called his name out asking for help (unusual for me at the gym) and he rescued me.

Nope. I know it will be up, so why bother?

Most likely said "How come you never read your texts?" :blushing:

I had a whopper with my husband on Saturday, too. (and on Sunday, shh...) Not only was it delicious, but I made my husband happy! :smile: Poor guy has been SO supportive, eating greek yogurt on a baked potato (with butter) because I don't buy sour cream, and dealing with skim milk and fat free cottage cheese in recipes! We…

Agreed! I don't think anyone tried mine, which is okay, I guess. Must be hard to tell when I'm making a silly face!

I'm not a fan of "during" but like the cowboy who bought his boots too small because it feels so good to take them off, it feels good to stop! :laugh: I DO like that my knees don't hurt constantly anymore since I've been cycling on the stationary bike, and that my constant back hurts less (treadmill or elliptical?), though…
