  • Thanks ladies :o) And I apologize for all the typos... my work computer is super weird and even though I pressed the key on my keyboard, it will just decide not to appear on the screen. Craziness!
  • Hello everyone! This is my first time i his group. My husband and I are getting ready o start the TTC process again in January. e were pregnanct earlir this year and miscarried at 11 weeks. By that poin I had already gained about 7 pounds. As you can imagine, we were pretty upset and I just let my workots and calorie…
  • No, I actually feel really bad for celebrities when people just walk up to their table and start talking to them. I don't want to be the person to spoil their "normal night out"! Besides, like a year ago he threw out the first pitch at a Chicago Cubs game I was at. And I'll be honest, I'd had a very frosty beverages at the…
  • Who knows, maybe he would think I was exotic. Because the two women he was with only ordered salads. .. They probably haven't seen real food since they were 9 years old. And he ordered the porterhouse with like 3 sides of potatoes. If he saw me maybe he would have been like, "Wow! There's a woman that can down some steak!"…
  • So last night my mother in law takes my husband, brother-in-law, and me out for a combined birthday dinner. (We're only 12 days apart) She took us to Wildfire, which is amazing food. I had eaten very good all day to make up for the extra calories I was bound to eat at dinner. Before I left the office I looked up items on…
  • So on the Today show this morning they mentioned that KFC is giving away a single piece of their new "Kentucky Grilled Chicken" to each customer today. I'm going out to dinner tonight, so I didn't even have option to go a try. But it did make me curious as to what the calorie count on this stuff is. So I went to website:…
  • I find that the more I think about it, the hungrier I feel. I'll go like a month a eat whatever I want... otherwise I'd go crazy. And when I first get back into the habit of eating healthy again after a "break", I'm always hungry because I'm thinking about what I ate, what I'm eating, and what I am eating later.…
  • The only reason I avoid soy is because I don't like how certain soy products taste. I just can't do soy milk. Not even in my coffee. That is one way to ruin my skinny vanillla latte... or so I learned the hard way. But other than that I like soy alot. It is incredibly filling, but doesn't make me feel bloated and icky.…
  • Oh... its not that I'm against potatoes. I love them so much that once I start eating them, I can't stop!! What can I say, I come from Norweigan Potato Farmers in Wisconsin. DELICIOUS! So I avoid, because I zone out and just keep eating them. :sad:
  • 60 lbs. in 3 months?? Does that even SOUND healthy? Besides when she's done with that DIET and starts eating noramlly again she'll gain every pound of it back, and probably more. You're making a lifestyle change. You may only drop a pound a week, but you'll be doing it in a slow healthy way that will help you keep it off…

  • Holy Cow! You totally have to read "He's Just Not That Into You"! This book totally opened my eyes to the fact that for some reason us women will continue to be attracted to some guy even though they obviously don't want us. If he was the right one, he would bend over backwards to be with you. I was with the biggest JERK…
  • I hate my next door neighbors to my office. I have an insurance agency, so my customers come in and we we talk about serious things. We'll my next door neighbors are an Improve Theater workshop place. And so all day, every day, they do these workshops and make so much noise! I don't mind the little kids, that's kinda cute.…
  • I totally know where you are coming from. I graduated from college about 5 years ago and moved to an area where I knew no one! I was a big sorority girl in college and I would often complain that there aren't any sororities to join in the real world! For me it was like the end of an era! No more school. No more summer…
  • I don't really get what it is, to be honest. Honestly, living 20 minutes from the Wisconsin border, I feel like I'm cheating on my favorite BF ever... (Ice Cream and I will always have a great passion for one another!) On the "Daily Plate" they list it as a frozen yogurt treat. But it doesn't taste like frozen yogurt to…
  • Hi! I did really well on SBD a few years ago. Lost 35 lbs. in total over a 9 month period. Without exercising. Got down to 165 lbs. that was 5 years ago now. I continue to fluctutate in the 160's withot really trying these days. Most of the reason I had put the weight on was because I was in college and I swear all there…
  • Thunderstruck :blushing:
  • Seeing as though its 80 degrees in Chicagoland today, my mind went straight to one thing: Ice Cream! My DH and I are lucky in that we live exactly one mile away from an old drive in ice cream shop, and there is a bike path from our house to the ice cream shop. So on warm summer nights we put the dog on a leash and take a…
  • Glad to see I'm not the only one who gets frustrated! This is why I eat in most of the time. I too always look for spinach. That's what stinks about Franchise systems. But most national sandwich/sub shops are franchises. **sigh**
  • Same thing happens to me! Side note... it always makes me wonder how they deal with that ToM on Biggest Loser!
  • So there are 3 Subways within a 5 mile radius from my office, and none of them ever carry the apple slices. No matter what day or time I go to any of them they always say "they're out". I'm pretty sure that all three locations are owned by the same guy. I am beginning to think that he just doesn't order them. Which is…
  • My trainer and my husband (pro football player) have always taught me that your supposed to lift to the point of muscle failure. This means you should be able to do about 10 reps at that weight, and that after the last rep you should want to drop the weights because your muscles are supposed to fail. I know that seems like…
  • A can of diet Dr. Pepper. So sweet I can't even finish a can. Delish... I'll also have a spoon full of all natural peanut butter. :bigsmile:
  • On the flip side, I too pigged out over the holidays and finally got on the scale today. I had only gained back 4 pounds. Granted, that was 40% of my weight loss :sad: but I truly expected to get on there and have gained back all 10 lbs. Chin up! Eat some veggies, get in a work out, and drink lots of water. Get up and have…
  • Oh yeah, I know. Like I said, I'm getting advice from a nurse. The problem isn't me, its our hospital where all of our doctors are at. They've refused to take our health insurance (BCBS!) for a year now. We don't go to the doctor all that often so we've never bothered to find new doctors. They finally started accepting…
  • So I've suffered from stomach problems most of my life. I attribute it to some bad water I drank on a back packing trip when I was 16. For a long time I didn't eat beef because that seemed to trigger one of my "stomach attacks" as I like to call them. After three years of living beef free - but not attack free - I ate a…
  • I don't travel but myhusband used to. So what we did was buy him a box of individual oatmeals for breakfast. There would usually be a microwave and milk down in the lobby. We'd get the low-sugar maple syrup flavored kind from the store. It was something like 130 calories for the packet, plus milk. For lunches, I gave him a…
  • Name: Rose Starting Weight: 170 Current Weight: 160 Goal Weight: 145 Favorite thing about dieting: Not feeling bloated and icky inside; keeping my tummy problems under control and being off medication Worst thing about dieting: Not eating French Fries :sad: Favorite diet food: All natural peanut butter... OBSESSED!…
  • Those are the days I do a class at the gym. Because even when I feel like quitting I won't because I'm not going to walk out of the class.
  • Like I said, depends on the company. From my point of view its a waste of time. Legally all anyone can do is call and confirm the dates of your employment. Its illegal to ask questions like, "What we're they like as an employee" or anything else.
