I began using mfp several years ago and over the past 5 years I have slowly lost, regained in pregnancy, and lost again close to 40 lbs. All of my life I have struggled with over eating and being over weight. I am 20 lbs from my goal weight but since may I have regained 6 pounds. I would love to meet some friends on here…

Me too! In 1995 I think. Fricken' Black Dog fricken' rocked!

The answer changes every couple of years or so, but for now: That's the Way Ten Years Gone You Shook Me Over the Hills and Far Away - "Guess about a thing you really outta know" Gosh, that's some good stuff!

"Angel from Montgomery" Susan Tedeschi's version, over and over cuz it is so good.

I'm real partial to Van Morrison, David Bowie and Peter Gabriel. Surprised no one has mentioned Lou Reed yet. He should be on the list.

The thing that i hate most about being fat is that i can't resist eating the snow ball cupcakes in the vending machine. Even though they have a little bit of a weird chemical taste and are loaded with sugar and i know i will feel crappy in an hour and a half when my blood sugar plummets, the urge to eat them torments me…

I am in a similar situation. My husband does not eat ANY fruit or vegetables and isn't a fan of whole grain anything. I will make steamed veggies and salads and such for myself and then eat smaller portions of the other foods I cook for the rest of the family. I am certainly not a weight loss super star, but cooking and…

The author of that article wrote a book called "The Obesity Myth." Also a very interesting read, as well as a book written back in 1997 called "The Skinny on Fat."

I like Leslie Sansone's indoor walking videos. Very simple.

Johnson and Johnson makes a "natural care" baby lotion that is made without any animal biproducts. It's in a sort of greenish colored bottle. It's affordable. Also, St. Ives Oatmeal and Shea butter lotion says it's not tested on animals and does not contain animal ingredients. They are both $3 or $4 at Walmart.

I like churn style ice cream. The recommended serving size is 1/2 cup, and i eat mine right out of a measuring cup. I get the Giant store brand, and the chocolate is only 100 calories. I also like the Swiss Miss diet hot chocolate packets. Only 25 calories and good for a sweet tooth.

Sorry - didn't mean to offend. I just read an article yesterday about an Oklahoma state senator who proposed a law which would ban the use of aborted human fetuses in anything produced for human consumption. The article didn't mention any products that actually contain fetuses though, which is quite a relief. Just seems…

I've never really talked to a doctor about it, but I have suffered with restless legs (and sometimes arms) for a long time. It seems to me if I go to bed earlier in the evening, I don't have too many problems. But if I go to bed too late, that's when I seem to have the most trouble. I have to either get up and move around…

My hubby knows a truck driver who works for a company that picks up the "leftovers" from the supermarket butcher departments. The driver told my husband that he also picks up the euthanized animals from the animal shelters too. He said the majority of the animal products they collect is bought and used by a major cosmetics…

I have that problem, too. Sometimes a big drink of water helps. I realized for myself that sometimes the urge to eat was just an excuse to take a break from whatever I was working on. I like to take a 10 minute "parking lot walk" to help clear my head and de-stress a little bit .

I used to be rediculous with McDonald's sweet tea. I switched to unsweet tea and now I like it better.

Thanks for posting about this topic!

The phrase "just saying." No, you're just rude. Or simpering. Hate that. And the duck face profile pic. Blech!

Can I join, even though the month is half over? I'd like to set a goal of 24 miles by Dec. 31. I am 3 down today!
