Hope your tooth is better soon! I'm not the OP, but I was first taken aback by your words - then I realized, it just meant that you have never been exposed to an in-law that can literally drive you to pulling out your own hair. Consider yourself very very blessed! ... and if you want a dose of the other, I can give my…

I'm just imagining my cats' reactions if I tried this! This really made me laugh!

I LURVE my Contigo water bottles - and mine are pink, so no one else in the house will steal them (or take them by mistake)... but now I see they have a a PURPLE one.. oooOOOOoooo... I don't NEED one, but I just want it, coz I love purple. So yes, you could say that shiny, colorful marketing works on me :D

I spewed my drink! ROFL!

so far: 11 + 13 + 18 + 18 = 60 ... plodding along!

Ever see or hear about the video for it? Nude bicycle race! That had to be uncomfortable for the riders... unless.... nope, not going there!

It's a conspiracy to see how many hours we can sit still at a computer! (she says as she's... ummm... nevermind.) :laugh:

Can't recall if I'd already msg'd you or not... but I like being supportive!

I have no desire to see him or hear him, and I don't understand celebrating his "comeback". But, my solution is pretty simple - I don't purchase his music and I hit mute or change the channel when he's on... I think the whole Chris-Rhianna story shined a light on a very serious problem and I hope an outcome is better…

I'm 49 and have about 120 still to go. I was a single mom for a number of years and remarried almost 4 years ago. My husband has never seen me as I still see myself - so I'm aiming to fix that!

You fibrous people! :) Let me know how your bellies do with all the fiber this week!

Short answer: Yes. She sounds SO much like my ex-mother-in-law (I call her my out-law). Absolutely guano-crazy. She knew I didn't want to eat carbs, so she made french fries instead of mashed potatoes. She didn't get why it was dangerous to leave the rusty old gardening weaponry down on the floor where the baby was. She…

Too cute! Nice work!!!

You might add some small things to your walking for a little bigger burn... add ankle weights... or carry small dumbbells and do some arm exercises at the same time - bicep curls or shoulder-shrugs... I like to mix things up a bit, too - for 30 seconds do a deeper lunge motion instead of a normal walking-pace... or slip…

He wants someone to kick around (you) while he's still out chasing tail.

I LOVE THESE SO MUCH! *giggle Cyndi Lauper - GIrls just wanna have Funyuns (onion-flavored crisps, for our UK friends) Lady Gaga - Pepperoni (Paparazzi)

Scales are evil and are enjoying messing with the human race WAY TOO MUCH.

I'm just tossing this in - be sure to have your blood pressure checked. If you have high blood pressure and it's not controlled, that impacts your heart rate and calories burned - but it's not a SAFE way to burn calories! Best to get a quick check to be sure.

AlmstHvn is short for Almost Heaven, in honor of my home state, "West Virginia". When I came online epochs ago, MtnMama was already taken, so I went with AlmstHvn instead .... love it so much I've hung onto it for ages!

Intuition is a powerful thing - if someone is making you that uncomfortable, feel free to tell someone about it. One night there was a fellow hanging around one part of the fitness club where a man typically doesn't stand still - between the ladies locker room door and the child center. He was there when I went in to…

Non-Scale Victory :)

Take that energy and turn it around to your advantage. As much negativity as they tried to throw at you, swing that bat and knock it out of the park. You are on your way and nothing can stop you!

I've been over every day but Monday! Oops!

OOo that'll be fun! My feet went from a 5.5 -> 6 up to a 6.5 -> 7 between pregnancy and keeping all that weight around. Hope it doesn't go down TOO far... 5.5's are incredibly hard to find - especially in a "wide"!!

This is so cool - I'm glad to find this group! I was just thinking yesterday of offering up some clothing and voila! Here you are!

They're really designed to only calculate calories for steps (paces and stair/steps)... so if you're doing a strenuous workout that doesn't involve a stepping motion, the Fitbit won't "see" it.... I use both the Fitbit (to get credit for my walking/stairs activities) and then use an HRM during workouts for the workout…

I don't have my numbers handy, but I'm sucking at this one pretty heartily! This is a toughie! (that doesn't mean it's not worthwhile, just means I'm struggling to meet it!)

You might try posting on the Fitbit group here on MFP, too. That's a pretty responsive group and you know people there have one! If you mean the calories burned number on the tracker/Fitbit website ... The only thing with accuracy that I can compare the Fitbit to is my heart rate monitor ... If my only activity is walking,…
