The American public transportation system is really horrible. If you are looking to do some widespread traveling, Amtrak (the railroad) is limited and expensive. I have heard the best thing to do is use Greyhound Buses. They connect most major cities.

I prefer the dirty, raunchy romance novels

Oh no, as if all of these cookies aren't tempting enough, they are being sold by dimple cheeked, quiet voiced little girls. How can you say no to deliciousness AND cuteness. It's evil.

I was wondering the same thing. Are "cheat/spike days" compensated for? I guess it makes sense that they would be. But I wonder if spiking one day is worth having to be even MORE careful the rest of the time.

Every time I would leave the house, my mom would give me the usual "wear a seatbelt! Don't talk to strangers!" DUH sort of things, but it would always end in..."Remember: Everything is bad." Even now, my friends will jokingly tell me to remember everything is bad whenever we see each other.

My mom told me that breathing in perfume would make my throat close up and kill me. Also when I was a kid and asked what a boner was, she said that a boner was a dog toy. Man, that was embarrassing when playing with a friends dog one day.

Thanks for sharing!!!

This isn't too unique, but I freeze chobani greek yogurt. It isn't "frozen yogurt" but it is a yummy frozen treat.

I eat a crazy amount of air-popped popcorn, usually plain or with garlic powder. And this isn't any legit proof, but my old neighbors used to replace a meal a day (with some exceptions, of course) with popcorn for decades and they're now in their early 90s and still swim laps every day! So, it hasn't HURT them. But do what…

We had a late shift at work, doing a lot of furniture moving, and my manager brought chocolatey chocolate brownies with coffee icing (my weakness). Even though I wanted some, and even though I was pressured to have some, I just stayed there with my happy serving of my mini rice cakes.

You are right. Aspartame does do that, and it also practically kills you (this coming from me, who uses sweet n low all the time, shame on me). If anyone wants back up: http://www.321recipes.com/aspartame.html has info, but if you want to google "does aspartame cause cravings" you'll get plenty of legit sources saying yes,…

I second this!

I have a really nice new track not far from my house. But the only problem is that its surrounded by woods and most of it is away from the main road. If I go, it is only with someone else. It sucks to have such a great place so close, but have it be so impractical. Even walking around the neighborhood isn't a very good…

When I was drinking tap water, I never drank straight water. Please seriously consider a filter. It tastes so much better and, if you are like me, it helps with that "WHY does my town water taste so bad" paranoia!

In my book, only log water as water otherwise it is a beverage. Once you cross that line you have to start worrying about how caffeine drinks dehydrate, sugars, etc. Do juices count? Tea? Coffee? Watermelon? Lol, obviously that last one was a joke, but really almost EVERYTHING has water in it, so I wouldn't even start…

I want to hear these responses too. I was thinking the same thing.

Broiling anything usually ends in a fire. Every single time I try. For safety reasons, I will never know how good this yummy sounding idea is. 8(

I am big on air-popped popcorn.

Someone said cottage cheese, which I totally agree with. While it doesn't taste a thing like ranch, if it is the slathering aspect you want than this is great. A little bit of cottage cheese will coat everything! Throw in some dried cranberries and its perfect.

Don't bluff, we all like scruff.. hahahahaha

I dont know if it has been mentioned but the ability to fix/build things is really attractive. Give an average guy a tool belt and a flannel shirt and suddenly he is a ten. There is just something sexy about being capable.

I second, third and fourth this one!

It lasted about 2 days for me.

What about Wall-e and Up? Animated movies can be so great sometimes!

Because some days are crazier than others and eating sometimes takes a backseat. You'll probably say to plan snacks ahead of time, but I was just curious about staying in a 1200-1500 range rather than 1500 exactly.

I am hoping to see Beauty and the Beast in 3D. Tease me, go ahead. But I am very excited! Hopefully they won't add any scenes.

Are you saying to ago ABOVE what MFP says? And thanks to all of you!

Wooohooo! These all sound awesome!! Hearing everyone's little feel good moments makes it easier to take it all step by step! But I have to say working out every day for two weeks is more than a small success!! GOOD FOR YOU!!!!! :flowerforyou:
