When I'm in a cougar mood, it's Jake Gylenhaal.

Eat about a zillion honeycrisp apples. Carve pumpkins with the kids. Decorate our new home for Halloween. Celebrate my wedding anniversary with my husband (we were separated for 2 1/2 years, and got back together early 2011) on Halloween. Love all over my favorite time of year :happy:

Remember this part :flowerforyou: The loose skin thing has me a little freaked out, too, admittedly. BUT!! Having a heart attack like my 43 year old friend did a few weeks ago (I'm 42) freaks me out a helluva lot more.

I tend to strive for a balance between tactful and blunt. In THAT situation, however, I probably would have said something like this. "You guys? Knock it the hell off."

The year is a circle, just like our lives are. We have seasons of growth, rest, etc. In every age there is beauty. Next time someone is complaining about the 2' of snow that fell, find a picture on line (or take one and upload it) and link to your FB page of moonlit snow on tree branches, the trees' shadows tracing blue…

I'm always heavier right before/during my period. Blame all that retained water. Several sources I've looked at recommend drinking extra water during this time to help lower retention. I also read that magnesium levels tend to drop during PMS times, leading to lower insulin levels and sugar cravings. That I have not…

Today's something good... hmm.. I got up after 3 1/2 hours of sleep and made it to work at 5am. I even stayed an extra 2 hours.

Don't forget to track EVERYTHING you put in your mouth. I wasn't tracking no-cal sweetener at first (Truvia in this case), but then I realized just because it doesn't have calories doesn't mean it has no carbs. Those little tastes and bites add up fast.

Regardless if this makes me a "bad person" I find this absolutely rofl funny. It reminds me of when Dharma and her girlfriend went out shopping with fake German accents on Dharma & Greg.

Yes, this. And to answer a recent question ^, I do sometimes toss the extra yolks. I'd rather have a little waste than a big waist.

My physician told me to eat 1400-1600 calories a day, then drop to 1200 if I plateau. I just set my mfp diary at 1500 calories instead of setting my desired weekly weight loss. This way I stay right in mid-range. If I'm a little bit over or under, I'm still right on track!

A friend of mine says "keller" for color. He blames it on being in Western PA when he was a kid. Also of the WPA variety is "y'uns" which is apparently their version of "y'all," My husband calls the center compartment in the car a "counsel" instead of a "console."

I don't think this was meant to be malicious. Considering the idea was "at a bar" which is inherently a very casual (if not "fake") venue to begin with, people often play little games just to have fun. Back in my bar days (a good 20 years ago) my best friend and I would give a fake name to drunken fools who approached us.…

Forgive me if I'm being redundant (haven't scrolled through all the pages to see if anyone posted this) but you can get basic calories, etc. from plugging any of these recipes into the MFP recipe calculator!

Also, I love love love eating instant apples & cinnamon oatmeal (especially once the weather gets colder). I find it keeps me full longer than a lot of breakfast choices.

Today my husband and kids went out to get McDonald's. I said nothing for me! Ok, I did have half a small coke. It was totally worth it.

Hello, I just joined myfitnesspal today. I'm pleased to see an active community on the boards! I also have arthritis (psoriatic) in pretty much my entire body. I plan to start slow: walking when I can and using the stationary bike at my apartment complex's small fitness room ($35 gives me access for the duration of my…
