  • I stand by GOO Punch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADQPcNvqymo
  • There are people out there who need to restrict their protein to survive. I am one of those people. I consume 30-35 grams of intact protein per day, consuming more than that is toxic and can cause neurological distress and can render the person mentally incapacitated, it has also resulted in many deaths. incase you're not…
  • fat is nice. i don't like the word "fat" because it sounds gross, but I don't shy away from it because it's totally necessary. I like good "fats" though, I watch my saturated fat and never consume trans fat.
  • typical thanksgiving food is a roasted turkey filled with "stuffing" (a mixture of bread, seasonings, and sometimes fruit or vegetables), mashed potatoes, roasted winter squash or butternut squash, baked sweet potatoes or sweet potato casserole (marshmellows and brown sugar on top), green bean casserole, cranberry sauce,…
  • I have an oil sprayer (misto tritan sprayer) and I fill it with the oil of my choice. you can also put herbs or garlic in it and it will infuse with the oil. I have greek olive oil in the sprayer right now. good stuff
  • that is the story of my life. literally, since i've been a vegetarian since birth (for medical reasons). everyone would always make a huge deal about it. if we were to go to a restaurant my family would always make sure that whoever was hosting the event knew there HAD to be something there just for me...at restaurants…
  • my birthday is 6 days after christmas...i didn't have a birthday cake last year (pre-mfp) but this year i want a cake. it's just me and my husband though, so i freeze all the leftover slices. Blah...probably won't get a cake. i'd feel guilty.
  • i'm not sure what condition your friend is. But in my case, hardly anyone knows about it.... 1 in 200,000 people are born with my condition and most didn't live past infancy. The people in my age group are the first to make it to adulthood without suffering from neurological complications, or becoming mentally…
  • Aww I feel special. I'm mentioned on this thread. Yes, we exist. Though it's not the inability to "digest", for me it's the inability to break down certain amino acids. if my body can't break them down, they build up in the blood and are toxic. fun times :) But I'm essentially a vegan now, because I'm a little weird and I…
  • I ate a twinkie once when I was around 5 years old. I hated it and never ate another one. My life will go on without Hostess. Unfortunately the same can't be said for those 18,000 workers...
  • my weight never went to my boobage :o I'm a B now and I was a B before. I will always be a B. I went from a 44B to a 38B since joining MFP. Tiny Tata's are where its at.
  • Oh well, I never liked twinkies. The hostess cakes used to have lard. When I found out what lard was as a child, I never touched another one. repulsive.
  • Hi! Welcome. It seems overwhelming at first, but just take it 1 pound at a time. Tomorrow will be my 300th consecutive day logging in. I really didn't think I would make it this far. I have health conditions that make the weight fall off slowly. I only lost like 2 lbs the whole summer. I thought I would just get frustrated…
  • Banana bread is always good. Bananas are also my FAVORITE ingredient in pancakes. Mashed the banana and it acts as a binder. I also add plain Seltzer/carbonated water in place of ALL other liquids to make the pancakes extremely fluffy.
  • 27...for another month and a half :( depressing
  • Well I haven't been on horrible ones, at least not like some of the dates I've read about on here. A few awkward ones though. But I used to be friendly with someone who went out on a date and their date defecated while sitting down to dinner... at a restaurant. that is probably the worst date story i've heard.
  • I don't think I would ever get implants, I'm pretty content with my B cups. I do want a breast lift...which I suppose would be considered a "job" of sorts. My weight gain and loss and gain and loss has not been kind to my body. So when all is said and done, I may look into getting a lift.
  • I'm definitely interested in helping, but I would need to volunteer in North Jersey or possibly NYC. I don't really know who to contact since i'm limited as to where I can assist.
  • I have hashimoto's disease and take 150mcg, daily.
  • sarcasm? what's not to understand? popcorn lung disease is horrible.
  • I don't eat microwave popcorn anymore. the idea of potentially getting "popcorn lung" disease from it scares me.
  • why the hell would you tip for poor service? a tip expresses your gratitude, why would you have gratitude for poor service? Tipping for poor service is just condoning their bad behavior! Tips are for excellent or exceptional service.
  • Sorry, it's not online...it's my own creation. I never use recipes, I just create from my head and it comes out amazing. so my "recipe" isn't something you'd find on google...sorry about that. :(
  • one of my favorite things I used to make is butternut squash lasgna with a sage infused bechamel sauce. it's fab.
  • they just cancelled the marathon, according to reuters, but yes this sees like it is hurricane katrina all over again. thankfully the "nor'easter" is just going to bring some rain and 20mph winds. snow is not expected in NYC or NJ.
  • I am spending the night at my mother in laws house so I don't freeze to death and I can charge my phone to talk to my parents in New york. Should I have just sat at home in my dark freezing condo and not tried to find out how my entire family is? Half of my family is in the boroughs of NYC (Queens, Staten Island and…
  • CONTINUES? I responded to you ONE time and only once. Your use of the word "continues" is entirely incorrect. I never said a one thing to you before today. "Continues" implies more than one message or occurrence. I have absolutely no desire to waste my laptop charge on you and your ignorant opinions.
  • I am one of those "people in need" and I was very turned off by what she said, so please get your facts straight. There is no amazing recovery effort. If you were here you would know that. We are all running out of food and water and there is no gas to go replenish supplies or even to get to a shelter. There is no heat to…
