Oh how well I remember the days!! My daughter was the same way, but now she is truly my best friend. We go and do things together all the time. You just have to survive through the next 10 years or so. My daughter was about 23 or 24 when she realized that "Mom really did know what she was talking about"! I also have the…

Good luck, stay safe, and thank you for your service.

Ok, so I may really show my age here, but does anyone remember Laugh-In, the Smothers Brothers Show, or Red Skelton?

One of my favorites...... Cauliflower! Next is D.

I agree. I would take the job closer to home that would make you happier. Especially if you can see yourself there long term. Also, be with your mother as much as possible during this time. My own mother went through chemo 2 years ago and I was able to be with her during some of her treatments when my dad had other things…

Celtic Thunder cd while I'm supposed to be working.

If you could visit anywhere in the world where would it be?

Mark another vote for the third from the top. That's absolutely beautiful.

I love hearing how others have met, but so far no other blind dates. Yes, I broke my one hard and fast rule for myself, NO BLIND DATES! My best friend called me and told me about this wonderful guy that was her husband's best friend and convinced me to go on a double date with them. April 28th will be 25 years! I guess…

As the daughter of a breast cancer survivor who was able to receive a free wig, I say a huge THANK YOU!! I can't even begin to describe the gratitude and love that I feel towards women, girls, and yes even men who are willing to donate for this program. My mom is 2 years cancer free and has passed her wig on to a friend…

Don't you just love daughters. My name is Pat and my daughter did the same thing to me, only my weight goal is about 35 pounds. However, with the support of my loving daughter and all of the wonderful folks here on MFP, I'm succeeding. You'll do great!

Welcome to MFP, you're going to love it. I've only been with it about 2 weeks, and the difference is incredible. I'm like you, only a little older. At 5'1" and active I was always 110 to 120 until I hit about 35, then I don't know what happened. Between 4 surgeries and alot of stress, I went from 120 to a high of 165. I've…

Any other Arkansas Razorback fans on here? I live in Siloam Springs about 40 miles from Fayetteville. Would love to get to know more folks from this area.

I'm in. Like many of the others I started at 165, but my goal is a little lower, because I'm a little lower, 5'1" if I stretch. lol Anyway, I've already lost 7, and feeling better. I would really like to be at least 135 by April 28th. That will be my 25th wedding anniversary! What are we going to name ourselves? Starting…

Siloam Springs, Arkansas, about 40 miles from Fayetteville, home of the Arkansas Razorbacks. Even though if we could sell our place, we'd be in Cody, Wyoming!

Count me in! I've been on here about 2 weeks and have already lost about 7 pounds, so I know it's working for me. Making me accountable for what I put in my mouth!!

Hi there! I'm a transplanted Texan living in Arkansas and have been using MFP for about a week. I've loved that I can ask a question on here and not feel stupid. Everyone is great. I know you'll enjoy meeting new people on here. My family has a history of type 2 diabetes, so I can relate to that and the fat gir/skinny…

"As you wish" or "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die" !! Princess Bride is full of great quotes!

I, too, am a new runner and training for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. My daughter and I have walked it for the last 3 years in honor of my mother, but this year we are determined to RUN! We are just finishing up our first week with a program from the American Runner's Association. It's a 12 week program and I love…

Thanks for the input. I'm not trying to eliminate it completely, just cut way back. I was drinking 6 to 8, 20 ounce Cokes a day. By cutting down like I have, I'm already seeing an improvement in my sleeping, greatly reduced indigestion, and bloating. I guess I had never taken a hard look at the damage that I was doing to…

Ok, before I started last week I was a Coca-Cola addict. The first thing I had in the morning was a glass of Coke. I switched to Coke Zero to lose the calories and then decided to cut down to 1 a day to cut out the caffeine. The problem I'm having is that without the caffeine, I'm having terrible headaches. I can drink a…

Hi there. I'm new to myfitnesspal and this is the first I've heard of the Couch to 5K. My daughter and I are planning on running a 5K for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and would love to get more information on this program. Any suggestions on where I can get the info?

Ok, I figured what have I got to lose? After being overweight and out of shape for several years, my daughter and I have decided that this year we are going to run the Susan G. Komen 5k. We've walked for the last 3 years in honor my mother and in memory of a good friend. I know that being overweight increases my chance of…
