I don't find lingerie all that appealing on women, personally speaking. But camisole tops drive me nuts!

Just be mindful of the loads of sodium you'll get even with what seems like healthy choices from there. You might consider having a bite to eat of your normal healthy food before going so you won't be as tempted to eat there. But if this is your only splurge for the week, go nuts and make up for it with some extra vigorous…

I avoid using ice in my smoothies by using frozen strawberries and frozen blueberries. Gives it just the right amount of 'cold' level for my taste without watering down the flavor. Ditto on the almond milk! :)

I was blenderless for a while and my nutritionist recommended a Ninja blender. I love it! I believe I bought it for around $40 at Walmart and it came with a mini food processor as well.

I use Unsweetened Almond Milk as the liquid in my shakes. I used Vanilla Soy Milk previously - enjoyed the flavor, but found the almond milk to be just as tasty and slightly fewer cals so I went with the lower cal option.

My nutritionist suggested I go with spinach or carrots in my protein shake. Frankly I didn't want my smoothie looking all green so I went with the carrots. In my smoothie, the bananas and strawberries seem win the power struggle in the flavor battle so I think using spinach would be fine. I'd just have to accept the…

David, but you can call me Spartacus!

I'm on it. I mostly only IM with my dear friend from Germany. I'll send you an add request. I think my handle is the same as my MFP handle. \m/

Lol!! I was about to post the same thing!! haha

Crap!! I forgot about Devildriver!! Good on ya!!

Lately, Lamb of God is my pump up band. I actually recorded a few vids of me jammin' on me geetar along with some of my fave workout songs. I'm trying to learn Hourglass and Faded Line at the moment. Other current metal bands I like are Opeth (nearly forgot Opeth!), In Flames, Soilwork, Machine Head and Hatebreed. Classic…

Do they have headband versions?? #ashamedtoadmitiamdesperate

Oooh....idea! Look up the pizza in the database and post a note next to the pizza showing how many cals per slice...see how many still take the pizza. LOL

That just sounds downright evil of them!

I'm one of those people that likes a dash of coffee with my cream and sugar! My vice is Macadamia White Chocolate Mocha creamer. It's like heaven in a bottle! Currently, at my size and with my calorie allotment, I can still afford to have it daily with my coffee. I have been drinking Earl Grey tea on occassion to change up…

Glad to add another New Yawker to my circle. Welcome!

Fuji for me!

"Never Say Vuvuzela". Wait. Wrong forum. My bad. Honk!

And 'member that one time in NY, when that checkout clerk thought I was your BF? :smooched: <bump>

Hey!! I know you!! Remember that one time we were in NY and we ate at that Puerto Rican restaurant and they gave me that huge portion of pork?? :) Oh wait, that was this month!! haha!

Schwing! I'm not sure I understand the problem. :huh: ---- (just lightening the mood) :bigsmile:

I only ever viewed it (and heard it) as a term of endearment when i was married or when I've heard my female friends refer to their spouse. It's just a word. There are worse things that a person can be called. I don't see the big deal.

I highly recommend anything by Lamb of God! I have a playlist of just my top favorite songs from them, but just about anything works. Start with the Faded Line, and Hourglass, Grace, In Your Words, and Nippon, then keep adding to your heart's content! \m/. .\m/

The most recent cheesy movie was Area 51. It was a SyFy movie that I rented thru netflix. I wanted to gouge my eyes with toothpicks after watching that one. Fortunately, I salvaged my movie night with Lamb of God's documentary "Walk with Me in Hell".

There are very few diet sodas I like so I tend not to drink them. I can tolerate Coke Zero, Diet Cherry 7up, and Diet Ginger Ale the most. Like @woo commented, I just don't like the taste of most diet sodas for the most part. I used to drink regular soda just about every day but I have cut it out completely from my meal…

That is awesome Charlie. I hope to follow in your footsteps. I started my journey with MFP on Sept 22, 2011. I didn't set a time table for losing 100lbs but that is my goal! Kudos!

Hey Kincaid! First off great job on the progress you've made so far. I'm shouting for the 250 - 270 range myself. I am quite the introvert myself but I love interacting with everyone in this community. I completely understand your tendency to be a lone wolf. I can relate. For me I think part of my success has been…

I too have to watch for my sodium intake as I have high blood pressure. I was able to find low sodium precooked chicken at my grocer so it gives me piece of mind to stay under my sodium goal. Check with your grocer for options. The main thing is to jsut keep checking the food labels for the sodium count per serving. I was…

That's a great NSV! Way to go!

Ditto. I expect to meet one of my closest MFP pals in a week or so.
