I'm Hilary, I'm in Arizona, formerly a Clevelander. Add me!

I confess that I quit MFP for two years, came back and have no active friends. Can someone add me? I log everyday and I'm not very annoying. I've been married one year, don't have any biological children and am a full time step mom for kids we have full custody of and its the hardest thing I've ever attempted to survive.

I agree with the homemade option although mine is Semi-homemade. I grab one of those whole wheat crusts. We eat it with a huge salad . BUT, if you are just craving take out pizza, eat it and move on.

Thanks so much everyone.

Where do you get a dried chickpea? Id like to try this.

I eat less than I used to. I love the sabra pine nut one but a serving size is realllly small when you put it on a scale. Those calories add up fast. Maybe homemade will be lower though.

You guys are funny. Gauges is a pretty common slang term for stretched ears. Yes, it is not the absolute correct term but its pretty common and accepted. Ive had mine for almost 15 years and when someone asks about my gauges, I know what they are talking about.

I have 9/16th gauges in both ears, a septum piercing (10g ) and an industrial. I also have both nipples pierced. I wear plugs in my gauges most of the time because of my job, and I have had a retainer in the septum for almost 10 years now. I just can't bear to let it close up because it used to be my favourite one.

Im actually so glad to see this post. It is exactly what I needed to hear today. Someone at work last night was asking me if I had lost any weight yet from working out and packing my lunch. I was like :((( 21 pounds. No one can tell. I know my clothes are fitting better, but I did think 20 pounds would be like a landmark…

Regular plain natural coconut water tastes like something foul and rotten to me. I buy one that has a mango flavour added to it, I think its pure via or something. It has a ton of goodies in it including that elusive potassium I have trouble getting.That sobe one is tasty but I dont think thats actually coconut water.…

It is music for SURE for me. Once my smartphone was being wonky and not playing music and I seriously just turned around and left the gym without working out and came back later lol. I can't even stand it without music. I do interval type training on the cardio machines, with alternating slow/ high resistance, fast/ low…

Playing wow. I run a big guild on stonemaul. I have a disc priest decked out in heroic raid gear and a bunch of alts i play here and there. Im a big mount collector and love love my guild : )

Where the hell is the " dorky" option. Screw this thread.

This is a little off topic, but sometimes when either a guy or girl says something that I think is interesting and funny on the forums... and I think, Hmm maybe Ill friend request! I look at their page and see photo after photo of the hottest people on the planet and Im like... nevermind. lol I don't think I fit in with…

I personally use steel cut oats for overnight fridge oatmeal and love the chewy texture.

I just got censored on the name of a sporting goods store. :D

AHh Im interested in this also as my old one broke. Everyone talks about how expensive fitbits and bodybuggs are and suggest getting a HRM instead, but the HRM everyone recommends on here is polar and its almost 100 bucks at ****s! Ill keep my eye on this one.

Im still laughing at the " anti- nut agenda" comment. : ) I eat a weighed out portion of nuts many days as a snack, but only because i want something snacky. I wouldn't call them a meal replacement, but a candy/junkfood replacement. Although, once I got a good kitchen scale I was kind of sad at the actual serving size of…

My pink gaming rig : ) Water bottle Wallet Hello Kitty figurines ( on top of the computer ) Burts Bees Lip balm ( must have )

Well I used my fair day as a splurge and I just split everything I wanted with my BF. Whomever suggest the Turkey Leg think twice... That thing had like 7000 mg of sodium in it and over 1200 cals. lol

haha great job! That takes major effort going for a jog with a hangover. I had a county fair food hangover today lol.

I do one of those italian ice tubes for 80 cals or one square of dark chocolate or a skinny cow or weight watcher bar. I like to have dessert after my meal and if the cals fit in , I think its ok. : )

That is an accomplishment! This is the first time that it has clicked for me that the biggest part of this journey is to keep going. Good days, bad days, loving the scale, hating the scale... I just keep going! Good job!

I play a level 85 disc priest, 85 resto shammy 85 affliction lock , 85 feral tank and run a huge guild on Stonemaul server ; ) Im a wow geek and damn has the gym cut into my wow time. lol ; ) We have 3 full raid teams, 2 on heroic modes. I started my guild 4 years ago and it has been a labor of love to keep it active and…

2010 Kia Soul Exclaim 5spd manual transmission. I LOVE IT!!! I get amazing gas milage but it might be because I drive a stick shift. Im getting about 40MPG a tank right now. Its Alien green and has all the bells and whistles. I just bought it a few months ago, and was able to negotiate it down pretty good because it was a…

Whoa I already read that! haha so awesome- grats!

I vary mine everyday. I work third shift and like to make it before work so that I can come home to something good in the morning. It really helps me avoid the temptation of stopping for food. I am glad to see im not the only one who uses the steel cut oats :D I think the rolled oats are too mushy for me, the steel cut…

The reason I don't like them is because I feel like I can eat alot more food if I make something ahead of time at home and pack it for lunch lol. I guess I just get hungry :D Im also trying to watch the sodium, and they are pretty high. If the meal is filling to you and sodium isn't something you are tracking you should be…

Can we also get a review on that fancy HRM sometime soon! ;D You look amazing. Its crazy how young you look.

oh haha, when I said you will get used to it, I meant get used to peeing more D:
