This. : ) And a day of rest and relaxation is always nice

Christmas Eve is at my M-I-L's this year, and I think she said she's doing bbq ribs and trimmings. Easy enough for me to resist..(thanks m-i-l) - at our house on Christmas our tradition is Cajun boil. My son asked if we were doing it this year and stated emphatically that if we didn't he would be terribly disappointed.…

Really? I like that one a lot also. Hilarious. Just crazy hilarious! And speaking of Island...it's a good movie too!

I am a huge Coen brothers fan! Love, love, love "O Brother" (ain't this town a geographical oddity, 2 weeks from everywhere!) - and I love Fargo. The Coen brothers are geniuses! Ok, I know you're going to think I'm completley off my rocker, but I love "New In Town" - sooo funny and sweet. When Renee Zellweger falls off…

OMG! Hated that friggin depressing movie! About a Boy??? Ugh! About a freak of a mother! My 15 year old son thinks it's hilarious, though.

Donna Reed? For Real??? Ok, here goes... Loved: From Here to Eternity Liked: Dallas (the 80s soap) Wasn't as crazy about: It's a Wonderful Life (I know, I know, it's a classic...but still...) Burt Lancaster (just to make it tough on the next person mwhahaha) : )

Ode to Green Bay Packers - Lil Wayne (in case someone posts before me, this is for PRod). : )

You recently got married. ; )

Ok, this issue runs in my family so I can so relate. I rarely go more than a couple of times a week if I don't do something to force the issue and I thought that was normal until I got married and my hubbby goes like a couple of times a day... I thought "gross, why does he poop so much?" Who knew that was what most people…

You've gotten some great advice! It's so hard...but just jump back in and do it, do it, do it! For you! Go!

Ok, this is crazy, I know...but I have an entire dvd case devoted entirely to Christmas movies. What can I say, I LOVE Christmas! Here are some of my faves, trying to put them in order from fave to less...but it's so hard to choose after the first 1 or 2. 1. Christmas Vacation (gets quoted by our family all through the…

OOps! to the above...why ashamed... How to lose a guy is one of the all-time funniest movies ever made! ; ) Ok, had to add my Christmas faves... "Christmas Vacation" and "A Christmas Story"! Classics I can see over and over all year!

Oh, I'm such a movie nut! It's tooo hard to choose 2. But the first two that popped into my head are "O, Brother Where Art Thou?" and "How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days" but there are so many great movies. those are just two that ALWAYS make me feel good!

Ok, this is awesome! I've only lost 9 lbs so far, so I'm mostly just fitting better into the size 9s and 10s that I have already been wearing. I'll tell you what's frustrating though! My boobs are the first things to go... seriously...is that some kind of cruel joke??? You get to have big tata's but only if you're…

I love these ideas. I have classes in an old 9-story building. The stairs are very steep and I think they're pretty tall. I walk up and down the stairs to and from classes every time. If I get to school too late to walk up, then after class I go to floor 1 and walk up all 9. I'm unbelievably winded when I reach the top so…

It is really hard to be good when everyone around you seems to be indulging. First of all, if you're indulging occasionally, then don't feel bad. It's ok to have a splurge day every now and then. If it's getting to be too often, here are some tips that I try to follow when I know I'm going to be around a lot of temptation.…

I was (once again) watching my cals and wanted to look up the cals in some dish. Google brought me here (thanks Google)! I use another site also, Calorie Count I think. It's good for some things (it breaks the nutrition down really well), but it doesn't have nearly the support system that this site has, and it doesn't have…

Awesome job!

*********I should note that I can't stand the commercialized Christmas and would rather be on an island.************ I love this idea!!!!! I love the music, the lights, the spirit, but the commercialization gets a little exhausting. I'd love to save the $$$ spent on gifts and take a lovely island vacation in January!!!…

A few years ago I lost about 60 lbs. It was all weight I had to burn. I was completely unhealthy at 180. The people around me were so ridiculous! I had a woman come up and ask me if my hair was falling out because that's what happens when you starve yourself. Even my husband was fussing. He was mostly irritated that I was…

I agree with the above. If you are being really careful about weighing your portions and burning more than you eat, and you still aren't losing, I'd check with a physician. Other than that, hard to say.

It took me a while to figure out how to make my diary public. There's nothing in the logging area that says how to do it - or even that you can do it. But now that I've figured it out, I love it. I am so much more careful knowing I'm going tohave all my friends critiquing. : ) Not that I have critical friends, but that's…

I don't think eating healthier could have made you sick. I like the overactive thyroid idea. The Drs have run tests? I would continue to eat healthy, try to maintain enough calories to maintain a healthy weight, and follow the advice of your docs. Good luck!

I agree with all of the above. And might I add... it happens one food choice at a time. Best of luck!

You have an awesome leg lamp! (And don't shoot your eye out, kid!)

Hey...I'm Charity...I'm 40 years old. How did that happen??? : ) I'm married, have 3 amazing sons (oldest is going to college in the fall, which can't possibly be true, and the other 2 are in high school). We believed in getting them in and out as quickly as possible...seemed like a good idea at the time. Well, like a lot…

I haven't made a big announcement either. My husband knows I'm trying to eat healthily, and I'm trying to exercise everyday, but I've been exercising for a long time, it was just time to add the healthy eating to my life. Now that I'm 40, the weight creeps on faster than before. : ( But for the most part, I wouldn't change…

Hi, I'm Charity and I joined yesterday. I don't know how to "add" anyone yet, but encouragement is a good thing for everyone. I'm a 40 year old nursing student and am hoping to get in great shape so that when I'm treating my patients I'll be a good role model...among other reasons. Good luck everyone!
