So, so proud of breaking my 40 pound mark. I had been at 39 pounds forevAH!! :noway: My husband got sick, then my mom needed major knee surgery, then my husband got sick AGAIN. :sick: I am a terrible stress eater, and boy, was I stressed. I totally went off the reservation for about 6 weeks. I didn't log in, I didn't care…

Never, ever been to a Mellow Mushroom web site. Ever. But I sure am thinking about it now!! :laugh: :laugh:

OK, so I come to my cool kids club post, and here's big fat Mellow Mushroom advertisement on the side. :noway: I'm hungry, I'm stressed, and that pizza is looking gooooood. :huh: So, I'm drinking my water and eating my oatmeal and turning up the Streisand. :glasses:

<47 and chillin'. :glasses: I've lost almost 40 with another 40 or so to go. Loving life and trying hard to get fit in order to enjoy it more. 2 grown children (one bona fide lawyer living in D. C., and one bona fide Marine living at Camp Lejeune, having just returned from the Sandbox. No grandchildren, (thank goodness,…

Pick me! Pick me! :happy: Edited only to add, although my children are not young (one lawyer, one Marine) I can certainly try to help you with any child rearing issues. :) Kind of a "been there, done that" type of thing. :happy:

Welcome aboard! Feel free to add me! Enjoy meeting new people, and this is an excellent way to stay motivated. Congratualations on making a great choice in joining MFP. It's a great educational and fun website. ***********************************:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:…

Hi Shannon! The number one tip I have for you is: learn your body. At first, follow the guidelines here as closely as you can, but as you get stronger and more fit, don't forget to listen to what your body is telling you. For example, a lot of advice is given on here about not eating after a certain time, always eating…

Child, I've been married for close to 30 years to the love of my life, and we have two now-grown wonderful children. The best piece of advice I can think to give you is this: I don't know what sex your children are, but that doesn't matter. What DOES matter is that children learn behavior. Unless you want a daughter who…

This. For me, at least. :happy: I found out early on that I just like to snack while watching the very little television I have time to watch, and that it relaxed me, got my mind off my problems, and got me ready for a good night's sleep. While I don't advocate a full meal just before bed, I do skimp during the day eating…

Cheers to you, and as a health professional, I concur. My only caveat to that is I don't think 5.00 bottles of distilled water have done me much better than the well water out of my tap. My son, an "all go, no quit" United States Marine (OohRah!) can also attest to how much water a body needs on a regular basis.…

If you have a griddle and have time: Thomas Lite English Muffin 5 slices deli turkey breast (thinly sliced) One slice Gouda One egg I spray with a little non-stick spray, then cook my egg over easy (the partially done yolk acts as a type of mayo on the sandwich when it breaks) along with toasting the muffin and heating up…

DITTO TWICE! :drinker:

Fish. Of any kind. I cannot, cannot get past the smell. I've tried all sorts of recipes, grililng, baking, poaching, etc. I've tried all sorts of seasonings. I cannot, cannot do it, Sam-I-Am. :sick:

This! I completely agree. I also think a little grace and humility goes a long way. :flowerforyou: Also, look at this page from livestrong.com: http://www.livestrong.com/article/166095-how-to-measure-calories-burned-while-exercising/

No sugar, or sugar substitute? Or, did I miss it somewhere?? Or, does the organic sugar dusting flavor it?

You can totally add me. Actually, you ALL can. I have been off myself for about a month, lost 39 pounds but gained back 5 while taking care of my mom who had extensive knee surgery. Being from the South, all our friends and failhyShe's back home and I am back home, trying to get re-motivated. Love, love, love the support…

Something ingrained in me while growing up in a poor household: "Cleaning your plate means you're not wasting food or money. NEVER throw away food on your plate." It has taken me literally YEARS to get this out of my head and leave food on my plate, eating only until I am full. I spent a lot of time feeling guilty if I…

Pro-gun, pro-2nd amendment. Pro-America, Pro-freedom. Home of the free BECAUSE of the brave.

Thanks for clearing that up. :bigsmile:

This is me with the Patricia Cornwell "Kay Scarpetta" series. Loved the first 10, but the last few have been very trying to read. It's almost a chore to finish. I wish she could find her way back to the way her books used to be. But, like you with Evanovich, I still buy the Cornwell books as soon as they hit the store.…

So, so glad to know I am not the only woman on the planet who thinks that series is pure drivel. "Mommy porn" is what a friend of mine called it, and she is dead on.... I am a huge fan of the Kindle because I like to read more than one book at a time. My current list is: One for the Money by Janet Evanovich (recommended by…

:laugh: What exactly IS a retina scanner? As in the machine??? :laugh:

@futuremalestripper: Justice of the Peace.

@antizoni: Police chief

@Krizzo: double agent. :)

I think that's probably what I like best, too. :smile:

I have found for the most part, it is accurate. I think the exercise estimations are off; I go to a gym and log in my weight and other personal information; the calories burned that I log in are from my gym and not MFP, because the same exercise at the same amount of time was way higher on MFP than at my gym. For exercises…

Er....seems I was a little early with that post. Sorry!!! :blushing:

Goooooooooooo *kitten*!!!! Can you say 3peat????? So proud of USC baseball team! CWS champs three in a row!! Them boys know how to play some serious ball!!!
