As far as the restaurant supporting her from the get-go... I would think they would be too afraid to be labeled as "unfriendly" to gays. The PR would have been a nightmare for them- even if they could prove she was wrong, the media jumps on these things so quicky, then prints a tiny retraction if they are wrong. The…

this would have been so easy for the server to pull off- as a server, you run the credit cards throught the machine that charges- it is possible to reprint checks... she probably reprinted a check, and wrote on the duplicate. There is an easy way to prove whether or not she received the tip- at the end of a shirt, the…

her is a great brussle sprout recipe: 1 lb container wash'em, cut'em in half toss in a bowl with olive oil (2 tbsp) and balsamic vinegar (4 tbsp) lay out on a cookie sheet with cut side uo, drizzle with any remaining liquid from the bowl sprinkle with fresh cracked pepper and salt (sea salt if you have it) bake for 15…

the only two people that matter will see it- you and your hubby- good luck to you, and thank you to him for his service (and you for the support). 65 lbs is a great great job!!!

I noticed the slightest thigh gap the other night while I was relaxing in the bathtub. I was so excited that I called my husband in to show it to him!!!

my massage therapist said an ice bath will help- every night for 10-15 minutes...

thanks everyone! I found a running shop in the area that carries the Enell and a few other brands mentioned- I plan to shop Saturday morning!

THIS! I would die without my vidalie onion chopper. My Ninja smoothie maker is a close second though!!!

Good for you on the Paleo diet, I just don't have that discipline in me- thanks for the encouragement- maybe we can figure this out together!!

thanks for responding, maybe we will get some good info together- Yours is the second posting that mentioned drinking the adequate amount of water- I'm not sure I know how much that is- I wasn't aware of adding more water- I get my 8 glasses a day for sure, but should I add more???

I am not logging anymore, but I eat healthy (no fried food, fast food is a once a week at most treat, and eben then is as healthy as possible). I would imagine I am between 1400-1600 on exercise days, 1200 on off days. I can feel the strength- also in my core, but I feel like I have an extra layer of whale blubber on my…

Thanks for the resposne- I'm acually not on the meds anymore- we gave up! I will change that part of my profile!!!

best blog post EVER!!!!! :noway:

You are NOT crazy- you are brave! It takes a strong person to step outside their comfort zone and try something new- you will do just fine! Good luck- you can conquer this challenge too!

1. yes, almost every night 2. I used to have a recurring dream as a child, but haven't had it in over 20 years (my sister and I were wearing our fancy Sunday winter coats and were being chased by cartoon vampires, with the Scooby Doo gang and Fonzi with me- watched too much TV, you think???) 3. I think dreams are a way of…

CLR cleaning spray- you can get it at most Ace Hardware Stores (stands for Calcium, Lime & Rust).

my FAVORITE frozen meal!!!

Wat siz cream cheese container and what size ricotta???

yum! I may be making these this weekend!!!

I did the cabbage soup diet years ago (very similar) BEFORE I realize how to lose wieght in a healthy manner- I disagree with the person above who said you can't burn nearly enough calories to lose 16 lbs in a week- the amount of times you have to get up and RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN TO THE BATHROOM must be the way you burn…

Good for you- admitting your issues are the first step! I have a nephew iwth Asperger's, so I understand how challenging that can be- but embrace it as a part of you and live with it! See it as an explanation of your quirkiness and learn how to deal with situations in your own way! Most Aspy's I know tend to have a bit of…

I'm 5'8, 161 lbs and wear a US 10 in pants and a LG/MD in tops (big boobs no matter what I weigh!!!). I started at 179 lbs in a US 16 for pants and a LG/XL for tops- so I am really happy with the changes. I'd like to get down to 145 lbs and a size US 6 like I was in college, but we shall see how that works out! Good luck!!!

I eat a ton of fruits and veggies- My issues are beyond diet related- I am/have been on a TON of fertility medications which have messed up my hormones causing the constipation. I drink at least 3 servings of high fiber V-8 and/or eat 2-3 servings of prunes (one of the other) daily and still no help! Adding fiber powder to…

I should have mentioned in my original post- I'm currently trying to get pregnant and am considered high risk, so I can't take anything that is even close to being considered a laxitive-

our 3 year is Decemebr 19! We spent our wedding night at Walt Disney World- so we have gone back every year for our anniversary. My hubby thinks we couldn't get reservations this year, so I am surprising him! I didn't know about the leather gift- maybe I will incorporate that into our weekend away!!! :happy:

I am Malaysian- who knew? at 24 bmi, my bmi is lower than 79% of women in the US (not too shabby) but it is higher than 53% of the world's population!

looks really interesting!!!

I did this fo YEARS with an ex. After 10 years of on again, off again, I realized that I wasn't giving anyone else a real chance- I was comparing every new relationship to the one I had with Mr, X... Then one day it suddenly hit me- I realized no one would ever live u-p to Mr. X ... of course new guy didn't know me as well…
