Its more punky and underground, but I love love love psychobilly. The theme is very classic horror moviesque, theres always a great bass and its always fast!

OMG Tea addict!!! I love it! It's my favorite drink, favorite medicine (I'm an herbalist) favorite way of relaxing! I just love tea! Peppermint is my ultimate favorite, but my mother (also a tea addict) found Stash Tea Co's Chocolate Peppermint. If you haven't had it do yourself the favor and order it. I can't find it in…

the higher fiber, the more weightloss. 25-30 g is what people should get on a daily basis, bumping it up to 40-50 if they are diabetic.

Sure! I'm trying to do as many as I can and work my way up to 100. Right now I'm at 30-35.

I add carrots to everything. If they're grated or blended you don't notice and it doesn't change the flavor much. I'll throw them in meatloaf, tomato sauce, soups, shred them and put them on sandwiches... Sliced green peppers are great on sandwiches too.

Thank you, all of you, for so much encouragementt! Thank you so much for not just telling me I'm wrong and being overly emotional. I think what I really needed to hear was that I'm doing okay. It actually made me cry a little. :) With everything going on I forget how strong and supportive women can be for each other. Thank…

It wasn't the man that was leading me to take up all the bad habits, it was the stress of the failing relationship. We'd been trying to fix it for 4 years and nothing seemed to work. He is a good man, we're just not meant for each other. Thank you for the encouragement though. :)

No alchohol. Avoid eating animal protein and starch together (vegetable protein is okay), so eat them with vegetables or by themselves. Drink 30 minutes before and after a meal, not with because it dilutes the digestive juices. Avoid eating carbs in the evening, but don't cut them out entirely. Make sure you're getting…

This is totally unrelated, but I love your hair and your tattoos are fabulous!!!

I'd always had excess weight but never knew what to do about it. When I was 20 I went to the doctor for my birth control renewal and they told me I had gained so much weight they might have to increase the dosage. I started drinking slimfast and hydroxycut, trying to eat as little as possible. I made it through quite a few…

You can, but you don't have to. Any calories added to your daily allowance from exercise are 'bonus calories'. Eat them or don't, no harm done! :)

Take your measurements in the morning. A lot of weight fluctuation has to do with the amount of water and food still in your body. If you measure in the morning after you go to the bathroom, it ensures that your body has completed digesting last night's dinner. Same goes for weighing in.

Soy isn't bad for you. Its actually rather healthy. Large unnecessary amounts of it are unhealthy. There's no need to cut it out of your diet altogether provided you consume a moderate amount of organic soy (2/3 of all soy in the US has been genetically engineered and saturated with pesticides, so much that the FDA raised…

Moving is moving, and something is better than nothing. As long as you get your heart rate up and keep it up for a significant amout of time, walking is fine. Its easier on the joints too.

I agree, or rinse with some mouthwash. The same thing happens to me. Especially with oranges and tomatoes. Try not to eat as much acidic foods, or at least not so much at one time. I seem to have less ulcers when I space them out.

They don't have an online menu, I tried that first. But thanks! They're much better homemade anyway. I should just stick with that. Lesson learned!

Forgive me if it sounded like all people who keep bees kill them etc, that is not what I meant at all. I myself use honey and my inlaws are beekeepers. They take very good care of their bees and are doing all they can to restabalize the honey bee population. The only honey I get is from them (partially because they might…

I am so jealous of you.

Actually bees are harmed in the honey gathering process. From How It All Vegan cookbook: "Bee Products- Produced by bees for their own use. Bees are selectivly bred. Culled bees are killed. A cheap sugar is substitued for their stolen honey. Millions die as a result. Their legs are often torn off by pollen-collection…

I have been off and on with vegetarian, vegan and free-gan (eating meat an other animal products only when I don't have to buy them. I used to work in a corporate pizza place and shamelessly stole food all the time.) Recently I've felt so torn in different directions I emailed my best friend about it: I've been evaluating…

I've often wondered about he protein too. Can you have too much protein? As far as fiber though, the number they give you is only a percentage adjusted for you based on a 2000 calorie diet. However the average person should get between 25-30 grams of fiber a day, and even more if the person is diabetic. You should have at…

Only if you go over every day. 97 calories really isnt that much, so don't stress about it! If you're usually under your goal ever day, going over one tiny bit won't hurt.

Hi and welcome! I've been here for a week and I love it! Its so much friendlier and more fun to use than the last site I was on. All the interaction helps keep me motiviated and logging food and exercise are so easy. Its a great place to keep track of things and keep you going. Good luck!

I think as long as you're satisfied with your meal its okay. There's no point in eating when you're not hungry. I usually have a light breakfast and then have a piece of fruit or some yogurt when I get hungry the next time.

I made a list and posted it on my blog. I'm excited about that bikini! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/irishpagan/view/rewards-because-everybody-loves-prizes-28690

I look at inspirational pictures and watch diva movies. My favorites are Audrey Hepburn and lately Marilyn Monroe in the 7 Year Itch. They're just so gorgeous and fabulous I want to be just like them! And I find that the first step is always the hardest- if I manage to put on my workout clothes the only sensible thing to…

I want to be able to look in the mirror and be proud of what I see. I want to look sexy, feel sexy- whether that's in an old t-shirt and torn up jeans or strutting around the house naked. More than anything else I want to be comfortable with my own body for the first time in my life. Outside of myself, I look at photos on…

Not today, but yesterday. I did great all day till evening came and I wanted chocolate. So I made some chocolate pudding with rice milk, which meant I had to 1/2 the liquid because it doesn't thicken like with regular milk. With it making 2 servings instead of 4, I proceeded to eat all of it. And it was delicious. It was…
