Yikes! That was kind of spooky!

I was thinking the same thing-- there are some seriously gorgeous men and women on here who are completely unappreciated!

Good for you! I used to joke that I lost 260 pounds with one stroke of the pen. :wink:

Just another day. I think it's the day I have to take the garbage can to the curb. So that makes it a little special.

I agree. Over the last year I heard more and more about "eat less, but more often during the day", but I do find that I don't always make the best choices or control my portions when I eat a bunch of small meals. I think I did better when I ate a satisfying breakfast, lunch, and dinner, rather than four smaller meals. Then…

What this wise person said. :-)

I LOVE it! I stir fry it (put it in last if you like it crunchy) with other veg, chicken, and some thai or chinese stir fry sauce. Yum! I serve the mix over rice.

^^^ So true of me, too. Cabot Seriosly Sharp??? ((droooooool))) But, as Nia Vardolos said, "I have to break up with cheese." I can't seem to eat it in moderation, and it's pretty dense with the calories. But if anyone ever tells me I have six months to live, I know what I'll be eating! haha

@Grinch-- you hate Christmas, too, don't you? :wink:

What ^^^ she said.

I have both-- the Wii Fit is fun, but I don't find it very helpful for burning calories quickly. The Wii Zumba is a blast, and i'm sweating and panting by the end of a session. Burns a TON more calories.

Welsh rarebit and toast (cheddar cheese, stout beery goodness)

OK-- you just made coffee come out my nose! :laugh:

I was married for a long time. I've been single for a few years now. I have to admit that there are times that I miss being in a relationship (tired of going to the movies alone!). But in reality, one of the other posters nailed it-- you are FREE. I now plan vacations around what I want to do. I go wherever in the world…

Wow! 19 pounds! That's awesome. :smile:

When I met my ex husband, I was very thin, effortlessly. But I started adopting his eating habits. If we ordered Chinese food, he'd snarf from my box first, cuz he knew I didn't like what he ordered for himself. I found myself eating faster, and more of it, just to get "my fair share". Portions increased, the amount of…

One of my MFP friends and his wife have been on the Paleo diet for about a year. It sounds like a total lifestyle for them, and they don't appear to waver. He has lost 94 lbs. I looked into it, but I just think it'd be a really hard thing to stick to. Eating out must be a nightmare, and for me, it would remove a lot of the…

@galegetsthin Model!

Do they even HAVE a Superbowl when the Steelers aren't playing?

You're an attorney and you're posting on a weight loss forum? [/quote] Who cares what job she has? There are a lot worse things that get on this forum!!! She's a long-time dedicated MFP member looking for some personal support - give her a break I answered you in another place Linda, and you're welcome for sticking up for…

It IS madness, but I used to live like that, believe it or not. I eat tons of fruit and veg now, but for years in college and grad school I had the palate of a toddler, and lived, literally, on things like potato chips and pizza (with no veggies on it, of course!). I could go weeks, and possibly months, without any real…

OK-- that was REALLY funny! :laugh:

I'd take the high road. I'd say "That's terrific!" and move on. It's enough that you know that you are making an actual lifestyle choice. My ex husband did Atkins on and off, and always tried to get me to join him (since it was too tempting for me to have carbs around). I did try it, and yes, I dropped massive weight…

I have zero sense of natural rhythm, so I'd never want to take a class for zumba. But I have it for Wii, and LOVE it! It's a killer cardio workout, burns a ton of calories, and is so fun that you don't realize that you're exercising! You'll love it!

What this person said, in my opinion. There was a commercial a few years ago that said, "If you can't pronounce it, don't eat it." Not a bad rule of thumb. I do eat a little packaged bread, but I also got a bread machine, and make my own for pennies. I am not a fanatic-- I eat English muffins, and have no idea how to make…

I do the Wii Zumba, and love it. I take the Wii calculations and the zumba website calcs, and they are pretty similar. But I don't have a HRM, so I can't be sure.

I had a landlord who did not allow pets. I had to get a letter from my previous landlord stating how awesomely well-behaved and quiet my 12 lb dog was. Even then, he only releted grudgingly. Honestly, if the dog had been 50 lbs, or untrained, it wouldn't have flown at all. And I can understand that. If you are looking for…

Junk food. They way I eat Snickers.

Very true. I intend to fling people like these at the zombies as bait, while I make my escape.
