Neither. Travel! and @ Ethansmug - braces for sure. Don't get me wrong, I'm a red-blooded woman and I like me some sausage...but it really Is men that have the most issue with it. We just don't need all that length...tbh, too long can be hella uncomfortable. *And*...guys with too much aren't going to get nearly the, ahem,…

I can pee for more than 30 seconds.

Migas!! Pasta al arrabbiata. aaaand, hmm. Cajun-spiced grilled shrimp with a riesling or gewurztraminer.

waster196: i'm guessing...28ish?

I might weigh a little bit more while on my period, but I always figured it was just because I won't put the bottle of vodka or pickaxe down long enough to get on the scale during that week.

My husband gets annoyed sometimes with my oldest son's desire to grow the front of his hair long, wear fitted (but not ball-crushing) jeans and plastic bangle bracelets, and listen to MCR. Me - I don't care, and I remind my husband often that our own parents were pretty disgusted by us, and the entire grunge movement, back…

Not dumping my ex-fiance sooner. When we got together, I was 15 and he was 24. It took me three years (two co-habitating) to realize that no, I wasn't just super-mature and 'special'...he simply couldn't get a girl his own age. He's 43 now, still greasy and predatory in a limp, toothless way...and last I heard, dating some…

^ this.

I'm also raising kids in (very rural) north Texas, I thought moving here would be best for my kids...but do I feel like I belong here? No way. I miss my smelly, polluted, traffic-riddled yet sprawling, open-minded, and multicultural hometown (Houston I love you!). I'm so stoked to be going home for the holiday.

To heck with fashion trends! "To be irreplacable, one must always be different." - Coco Chanel When I hit my goal weight, I'm celebrating it with an industrial-strength balconette bra and a vintage wiggle dress. My inner Joan Holloway and I will not be giving a d4mn about what fashion says is currently hip.

^ This. Enjoy what you like, just practice keeping yourself in moderation and be aware of what you are putting in your mouth. If I thought changing my life would mean I was stuck on salads and lemonwater every day, I never would have even attempted to get back to a healthy weight.

Haha, I've yet to meet the man who can take a hint (no offense to you elusive, psychic Y-chromosome holders out there). I straight-out tell my husband, I get what I want when it's feasible, and he doesn't go through the stress of having to guess what I would really like.

I'm certain weight often plays a factor in both getting a job, and advancing a career. An interesting artcile on the subject: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16755130/ns/business-careers/t/fat-chance-its-not-easy-obese-workers/

I think it all depends on what your own comfort-tastes are. I like to stay cool when I sleep, so I detest flannel or jersey sheets. For me, it's 650tc cotton all the way and *always* in white. Nothing smells better to me than crisp, bleached sheets at the end of the day. Also, a trick I picked up to beat the heat while I…

^5!! I know how hard it is when my housemate brings all my favourite indulgences into the house and makes a point of letting me know they're there for the taking. Good on you for the willpower!

love the yogurt, don't much like the strawberry/banana combo in anything, so 7/10 baklava >.>

I'm not gonna go all inception quote on this, but I have to back up the recovered-alcoholic racial slur guy. Some years ago, I was in a very bad accident that left me in a medically-induced coma for the first week, and completely out of my mind on drugs for two more weeks. I was told that in my second week, during a…

I'd get the hell off MFP forums and go exercise. It's kind of ironic, really...
-
I'm not really a breakfast kind of girl but my meds require me to have protein in the morning, so I usually go with a half-cup 0% greek yogurt mixed with a quarter cup kashi go-lean crisp for 130 calories and 15 grams of protein. Whether I eat a big breakfast or none at all, I like to get my munch on during the late…
-
Less hungry, actually. When I do want to eat, what I really crave is a thick, dripping blue steak. I guess my body thinks it's gotta replace the blood or something, hah.
-
I'm even more glad I don't go to a gym now...seems silly to pay cash every month just to judge other people, when I can sit here at my pc on MFP and do the same thing for free... /edit and when I do go for my hikes, I wear a sports bra and no top. Why? One, because it reminds me to keep my posture good and suck in my gut.…

Ignoring all the middle-thread arguments: one of the things that did contribute to my own "wake up" moment were my awesome husband and amazing kids. I wanted to make myself better as a person, partially to contribute more and set a better example for them. Maybe the OP could gently show her brother there are other things…

I started my weight-loss almost immediately after I ended my own WoW-addiction (yes, there are many people that can play the game casually. I was not one of those casual people.). let me rephrase that: *I* started my weight-loss immediately after *I* ended my own WoW addiction. No one can dedicate themselves to changing…

The first brand I tried was Chobani...it was alright, but tasted very much like straight sour cream to me. Then, I tried Athenos fat-free and liked it much better. It tasted more like yogurt and less like sour cream, if that makes sense. My favorite add-in is a quarter-cup Kashi Go-Lean Crisp - Toasted berry crumble. I…

Think of it in terms of what you've lost already, and it's a lot more pleasant :)

People love to put themselves above others, until they actually have to stop and think "Hey, those are actual decent human beings that I'm thoughtlessly denigrating." A very good friend of mine is a high-functioning Aspie, and I'll admit that friendship can be quite challenging. However, in our decade of friendship I've…

"Laud's theology was influenced by the teachings of the Dutch theologian Jacob Arminius (1560-1609), who emphasised free will over predestination and an acceptance of ordered and uniform practices of worship. Laud's love of ceremony and harmonious liturgy — the "beauty of holiness" — was favoured by King Charles because it…

Am I supposed to be sorry for not giving enough of a *kitten* to run down to the nearest library to argue against a forum post that will be forgotten within hours? Just because it's on wiki doesn't mean it's wrong.

Dead Kennedys, Reagan Youth, the Dead Milkmen, and Black Flag... The 80s, lol, but kind of a different 80s. :)

Actually this is partially untrue. The Puritans did protest that the English reformation fell short, and that the CoE was far too Catholic in it's practices, but - (from Wiki) "James I was succeeded by his son Charles I of England in 1625. In the year before becoming King, he married Henrietta-Marie de Bourbon of France, a…
