I don't know about charming (I'm kinda annoying - :glasses: ), but I do live in right in the city. And I think I'm just one of those people that others like to talk to. It drove my first husband INSANE.

Your husband is adorable!

No! It totally does not have to be about weight! Just something nice said to you. Hey - motivation comes in all shapes and forms and ways yes?

My fave is the Assets brand from Target. I buy them way too big so they just stop the wriggling, but don't turn me into a sausage casing. I hate chub-rub. The trouble is walking on the beach. What do you do then??? It hurts! Edited to add: I meant I wear a spankie-type thing to prevent the rubbing. And Assets from Target…

Sweetie - your momma was wrong. Damn mothers sometimes anyway. Be nice to your daughters!

Do not fear the question!

OMgosh, I've camped for millions of years around there! My kids still do. I'm getting all nostalgic.

The first time I ever went to NYC (back in the early 2000s) I was kinda scared because I had heard how mean everyone was. My experience that first time was magical! Everyone, even though brusque (hey, they're BIZZY!) was very kind to me and my ignorance. I got endless help for riding the subway, getting around on the bus,…

Here in Minneapolis, we still refer to Macy's as Daytons. It's been a million years.

I was once in southern Indiana, very near Kentucky, for a few days and when I check out the woman at the desk wanted to know, "whut country are you from?" I'm from Minnesota. And there you have it. :flowerforyou:

What had happened that they wanted to do that? So funny!!

I have had my Flex since August of last year. It's great! I use it, in addition to the steps, to track my sleep. You can link your Fitbit account to your MFP account which is fantastic.

As my two year old used to tell me, "be quieted!" Hamster-on-a-wheel approach isn't the best either. To me the elliptical is an evil, evil beast. :bigsmile:

I do love binge watching. Just this past weekend on a rainy day I re-watched Masters of Sex. So good! And I'm very excited for the return next week.

Beautiful! My favorite read this entire summer!

:huh:

wtf I shouldn't have looked in here. :huh: :noway:

Both. With a Doritos chaser.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Another thing I've used with varying success is fat fasting. Do a search about it for ideas, but the gist is 95 fat if you can do it. It can be very tricky, but it can vault you back into ketosis a bit quicker. Oh - and around 1000 calories. For no more than three days which is about as long as a person could stand to do…

I find this to be true for me as well. Since my protein is very moderate and the veggies I like the best are very inexpensive the budget is doing good! I love cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, zucchini. I do shop at Aldi a lot and at Costco. I find that now that I'm not buying very many processed foods those costs are…

Welcome buffnell! What plan are you thinking of using? Simple calorie cutting? Lower carb? You'll find support and help with any plan you're trying. I do find that accountability and logging my food every day does help. It's a pain in the *kitten*, but it does help. Hollar for anything you need from anyone here! Most are…

In one month think about this day and you'll laugh!

First - omg you are so cute! Now, keto. That fickle fickle beast. I shouldn't even answer because I've had a heck of a time with Ms. Keto. It sounds like you've used this calculator? http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com If you haven't, use this to calculate your macro percentages. I've been keeping mine at 85 fat, 5 carbs,…

Yeah, I agree with responder. And potatoes would be way cheaper than potato chips yes? We just don't WANT to cook; we want to GRAB something. This thread is making me sad a little. When I was a young SAH momma we had a very small grocery budget. I got very creative. I had a garden in the summertime. I canned veggies for…

¡Gracias tanto!

Just seeing the word "olives" makes me salivate a little. No guilt around olives!

You are lovely! Study piano. Keep taking Spanish. You'll love being a journalist.

I work with a woman that is a talker. The kind of talk like, "You know what happened Tuesday? Oh wait, was it Tuesday? It might have been Wednesday. Oh yeah, it was Wednesday because I had pizza on Wednesday. I remember . . ." Aaaaah! I want to puncture my eardrums. Especially when she tells me sex stories about she and…

love!
