Strong sturdy looking hands. I guess I get hot thinking about how good they'd feel on me! Whew, getting hot thinking about it!

What fiasco earlier this year???? I'm out of the loop I guess. I am concerned about the fundraising. I do have a lot of avenues to go down for it, but it's a lot of money! That's why I posted this topic. All your advise is appreciated!

Sorry, it's 60 miles in 3 days! lol

Girl, you're beautiful! You have great cheekbones like I do! Your facial features are defined and your skin tone is amazing! Keep smiling! You have every beautiful reason to!

I take a glass of low fat milk, add instant coffee granules and chocolate protein powder, drop in a few ice cubes and enjoy an iced coffee for breakfast! Actually keeps me satisfied for a really long time! Sometimes I will even put it in the Vita Mix for a smoothie!

Next time blow them a kiss then yell, "NOW, kiss MY fat *kitten*!" I hate when people act like this! HOWEVER, we are on a popular bike racing path where we live and these ding dongs ride in the middle of the road in GROUPS and won't move over or thin out so you can pass them! It's 50 MPH! That does drive me insane, but I'm…

PROTEIN! Find a chocolate protein drink you love and drink one after a workout. Then drink lots of water after that. Your chocolate beast will be silenced and your muscles/tummy will be happy! I'm a huge fan of Body Fortress from Walmart! Tastes like chocolate pudding and has tons of protein in it! Give it a try it's…

I didn't realize that 36 lb loss could be so obvious, but you've proven to me that it is! I'm so motivated again! If I lost 36 lbs I'd be under 200 again and that's a goal I only dream about. It's been so long! Girl, thank you for posting this and I'm gonna put more heart in to my journey! You look great and I will…

Girl, you didn't just lose weight, you lost years too! You look many yrs younger! It's like you are refreshed! Good for you!!!!!!!

I have 2 secrets I use! Now, I admit, I'm a slacker, but on the days that I care this is how I get it done. First I use a mug that I can't see in to. I love the fake insulated coffee cups that are reusable. Keeps my water cool (not a fan of cold) and I can't see how much I HAVEN'T drank. The second secret is to use a…

On a salad! Makes the dressing go further! Also, if you mix in a packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix in to a large (3 cup) tub of cottage cheese and let it sit overnight, the next day it makes an AMAZING cracker dip! Use low fat cottage cheese and you have a winner compared to other dips out there!

Bumpity bump bump! I need this thread when I have down days!!

Calorie burned is calorie burned. As far as logging it, yes, add them all up.

They use to have mint ones. Do they still? Those were my fav! Wait....maybe I don't want to know if they still sell them!

It melts in soups beautifully! Goes great on home made pizzas for the cheese part. If you don't care for the chunks, puree it so it's smooth! We love it on salads also, helps dressings go further!

OH THAT'S FUNNY AND TRUE! LOL LOL LOL

Can you get Body Fortress up there? The chocolate tastes like chocolate pudding and curbs my chocolate cravings and keeps me pretty satisfied!!!!

Hun, you can always call and tell your host your situation and ask if it's ok to bring your own. If this host cares about you, they won't care! I would ask and go from there! :o)

I have this exact same issue in other areas of my life. Unknowingly I use to not finish things just because if I did then I'd be done and then what?! What's the answer? I don't know yet either! Something I'm working on. My point is that you're not alone! I guess like me you'll have to come up with more goals. It will be…

I love MFP because it's NOT Facebook! I agree with keeping the rudeness and drama off of MFP forums! Weight is one of people's most sensitive areas and we need to respect EVERYONE!

Here is a worksheet for Excell: http://interzone.kicks-*kitten*.net/Calculating_calories.xls (only fill in the "Only Fill Here" section. Use the section below that for your conversions. Over on the left you'll see BMR, Mainenance, Cut, Gain. The cut is how many to eat to lose, gain is to gain weight. On the right you'll…

I agree with this. He probably thinks you're perfect just as you are in his mind so he didn't see this in the same way you did. He's just finding a way to be romantic on the hardest day of the year to do so. Social pressure is probably is why he went a bit overboard! I'm thinking all this came from a good place in his…

Super Bowl was only a week ago. I'm thinking it's quite possibly hormonal. How about you? You're female so maybe look at a calendar, do you see a pattern? Might be that you're just now noticing it. Other wise, look for the trigger like the earlier person mentioned. I think this website is more than just weight loss. I…

Really? Kick someone when they're down? Never be afraid to ask for help! Motivation, ideas, or solutions! Even if you post it "in the wrong place", post anyway! If you have a problem where a thread is posted, take it u with MFP, not the one who posted it! Friend me April!

Interesting! I'm curious too!

OH NO! Even his hair is lighter than his skin in places! Wow......

I friended you! You need to post your "WHY" where you can see it and will read it. Use a permanent marker and write it on your bathroom mirror. (will rub right off with rubbing alcohol!) Change it weekly! This week mine is "Confidence in front of camera!" Next week could be, "I can pamper myself with something other than…

I'm having to do core muscle strengthening exercises to help my abs. The muscles never returned to the middle after my last baby. When I do them, my back hurts!!! If I do sit-ups I get back spasms so bad I have to drug up to keep my sanity! I truly believe that we are having this (although opposite) issue because the back…

This is amazing! Thank you!

I like this fiber idea. While I'm not interested in drinking it, I can make higher fiber choices. Thanks for the fiber reminder, my metabolism seems to be MIA at the moment!
