Love it!

You're "wasiting" away. Seriously, great job!

If future hubby can't/won't say to the sister, "Sis, enough already, shaddup! I'm proud of my gal'. " I think you're in for a rough marriage. When I was first dating my now husband, his sister thought I would be another punching bag for her. I wouldn't put up with it and my husband, then boyfriend, backed me up 100…

Does bumping count as exercise?

Self-starvation mode?

I'm trying to log completely honestly.

If you get one, please invite your old auntie over to try it out. I too am curious about the "dance" games. I must be tricked into exercising.

I try to be a very active cheerleader to my MFP pals. (Not great lately but in the past I've been pretty good.) So I'm sort of picky on who I say "yes" too. I've asked people "why me" and some were shocked by the question. Of course, most of the shocked people are young enough to be my kids. I've been on other types of…

My husband pick our first child's son's name long before Friends went on the air (no, it isn't Joey or Chandler). We adopted older children from the land of my grandparents, so they came pre-named. In their birth country their names are super, super common. Here they are exotic and we have people mispronounce them all the…

The crass people who would say something about your weight would be the same crass people who say something about your weight if you worked in a shoe store. If you were working at bank, would you worry about pocketing the money? Of course not, because the money belongs to the bank. So the Ice Cream belongs to the company.…

Another vote for Sucess Boil in Bag Rice. Very easy to work with and the kids like it too.

Start coming up with more and more outrageous things for her to one up. You "Oh, I had really bad toothache. I was in so much pain." Miss Not Nice Fake Boobs "That's nothing, I had two root canals yesterday without Novocain!" You "I climbed the local mountain recently. I was pleased that I could do it. MNNFB "I climbed Mr…

I vote for the weaning back in caffine percentages and then eventually dropping down to a couple 2-3 cups at day. I would do it very gradually, over the course of months. I did that with sugar in tea and coffee in my teens. Went from 2 teaspoons to nothing, very gradually over the course of months. Literally one fewer…

My rule of thumb for "out food" is to do this math: Guess the sizes of the contents, enter that. (for example, 1 cup pasta plus 1/2 cup sauce plus 1/2 mixed vegtables) Add 1,000 mg of sodium Depedinging on the creamy/smoothness of the item, add the equivlent of 2-6 pats of butter or 1-3 tablespoons of olive oil. "Out food"…

Years and years ago, when I was doing weight watchers, carrots went from being "free" to being one point for a cup. There was a great debate at the meeting about this change. One of the leaders stopped the debate by saying~~~~ "None of us got here but eating too many baby carrots." I'd venture to say that none of us got…

Buy longer T-Shirts. I'm tired of seeing your belly everytime you raise your arms. Otherwise, he is a great guy.

I don't count seasoning at all except salt. If Mrs Dash Garlic has calories, then I'm in Deep, Deep Doo Doo

Mrs Dash Garlic with a little bit of low fat cesear dressing as a marinade.

This is how I do Restaurant CSI. Eyeball the ingredients and the amount you took. Guess at the size of each. Log that. Add between 2-6 pats of butter/teaspoons of olive oil and 1000mg of salt and that will get your close get you close. For pot lucks, you can do the above halving the butter/olive oil and salt addition. For…

Looks very tasty.

Very Nice Indeed!

Yah on you!

Read the book Food Rules It is short and too the point.

This site looked like it had some pretty basic (ie easy) recipes. http://www.chiaseedrecipes.com/40-ways-to-use-chia-seeds.php

Glad to have you back on MFP!

I've done both. I had sucess with both. But MFP has lasted the longest so far.

I am in Mass near the NH border. I've recently had a knew injury that I am recovering from and it is hard to keep the focus when you are in pain. Right now, I'm just thrilled that I haven't gain any weight.

Eating any of your "workout calories"? In the beginning, where I didn't understand the workout calories are added to the total calories for the days, then on days where I did a lot of activity, I was crazy hungry like you. And after the 1st couple of weeks of "lifestyle change" are you losing more than 2 pounds, then maybe…

Woo! Woo! and Woo!
