Jim Croce and Maury Muehleisen were magnificent together and I miss them terribly.

I knew a guy whose first name was Doctor. He wasn't a medical doctor, but everyone called him "Doc". A bit confusing when I was a kid!

Congrats! You're doing fantastic!

Keep water - and nothing else - near you. I like ice chips in mine, when I can, for sipping during the day.

Guns aren't legal there, but running nude is ok? *gasp!

Doesn't it depend on how things ended? My ex-husband and I work together and get along fine. If it were a particular ex-boyfriend, I'd look the other way and avoid all eye contact so I don't punch him in the kneecap :wink:

I'l be 50 in a few months and have lost 55 lbs with nearly 100 more to go. I'm happy to "join up", too!

Hi! My name is Sheryl. I was a smidgeon under 300 lbs when I joined a fitness club in July 2011 and I shared that same fear. The hardest steps EVER were the ones in the door. I've been going at least once a week to that gym (usually 2x, sometimes 3x a week - I have a mini-gym available at work and use it on the other…

"I feel like a wizard!" That made me giggle! I shall borrow that!

Remember this feeling next time you catch yourself thinking "if only I ate ___, I'd feel better" - because it doesn't. Meanwhile, take some time to shut off the tv, radio, computer, and do what is relaxing for you - a bath, reading, meditating by candlelight, soft music, whatever works for you. Don't be harsh on yourself,…

This site was such an eye opener for me. Just learning what a "real" portion size is and how many calories (or how much sodium, or the other things you can track) was such a help for me. I hope it is for you, too! Welcome to MFP!

Having to look things up in encyclopedias Typing on a typewriter (and using Liquid Paper)! Yeah, I don't like the "official" answer, either!

a spanking? Having a tv in their room? Decent episodes of Saturday Night Live?

He believes in me, even when I don't. He was so confident that we were destined to be together that he packed up his belongings and moved 1000 miles north (from Texas to Ohio) to marry me. I'm in awe of him.

Do you have some firm goals - a set amount of money, and a budget of how many weeks it will take to reach that goal? Maybe seeing the light at the end of the tunnel will help lift your spirits? And having a firm goal (instead of waiting until you feel it's "enough") will give you something to throw yourself at, totally and…

We just named our new kittens Mister Frodo and Samwise Gamgee. Does that make us nerds?

I think there are a few entries in the database that are incorrect. From the nutrition information on a 2 liter bottle - 0 calories , 30 mg sodium

I giggled just over the subject line. We have to label our carryout/leftovers and there is threat of dire physical harm if anyone else touches it without permission!

Fantastic! A wonderful, onederful day!!

LOVE Ohio Ren Fest -- it's only about 45 minutes away! Opens up Labor Day Weekend - counting the days! Kentucky Highland festival is a little further, just northeast of Louisville, but it's growing up nicely! Went to it a few weeks ago - mostly to see Doktor Kaboom, who I adore. My first one was near Houston, Texas - the…

I'm dyin' here! I sneezed once during the pap and the speculum shot out into the room. I laughed so hard I had tears streaming down my face and they couldn't touch me for awhile coz it just made me start laughing all over again.

Keeno! It must've been in the air, because I've been doing the same here! Bye stuff! Happy to be rid of ye!

That is lovely! You have worked really hard and it shows!

Both are in terrific locations! You may get lots of visitors!

Watch the chest strap sizes - I got the M-XXL and let out all the way it was very tight. I think my under-chest measurement (like where the bottom of a bra would fit) was around 50-52" at the time. Once I lost an inch or two, it was fine. They do make a XXX size if needed. There is also a Small, not sure of the dimensions…

bump - My pal Amy's garden is overflowing with zucchini so these ideas will come in handy!

I think it's a valid option. What do you do now? I used to go out for lunch every workday and get a big meal. Now I stay in and eat Healthy Choice, Amys brand, or Lean Cuisine, and I often supplement them with fresh fruits and veggies. My lunch budget dropped from $70-$90 a week to $20-$25 and my lunch hour shortened from…

You might try going to the Community / Message Board for Fitbit Users - there's lots of good tips there

baba baba baba baba! (baba ganoush)... it's SO FUN TO SAY Love chicken shish kebabs. I don't know what our local restaurant marinates the meat in, but they are SO tender and juicy. Great. Now I'm hungry again! *nibbles more lettuce
