I have make up some True Lemon drink mix and water--- and then add half real lemon. It tastes just like that old time lemonade and it takes care of my sweet tooth. Good luck!

Holy smoke!! You are AMAZING!!

I met my husband online ( not a dating site). I wound up moving to the west coast from Ohio and have not regretted it. We've been married for 11 years. He's the best thing that's ever happened to me. Before him, I did use a few online dating sites and met a few great guys. No bad stories from me.

I agree. My boys eat healthier because I'm still the one doing the cooking. However, they had chocolate ice cream Saturday night and it was ok . I just left the room and let them enjoy their sweets. Ask yourself this--am I assigning this too much importance because I'm looking for a reason to quit?

My husband rides his bike to and from his office every day--rain, snow, hundred degree weather. He loves it.

I could write a million good things about my husband but the one that really impresses me is that he rides his bike to his office everyday--rain, snow, 100 degree temps.Nothing phases this man. 6 miles each way and the route home is almost completely uphill. He's a beast and his legs and butt are to die for :)

Also Gabaldon's Outlander series.....

I 'm not much into romances but I just finished a book called "To Be Sung Underwater". It was a romance ,but also sad. You can find a description on Amazon.

I love to make quilts --and I'm not an old lady :) I watch little tv but I never miss Hoarders. I'm almost neurotically neat so it's like watching a horror movie. I guess the good thing is that each time I watch that show I find myself organizing some closet or shelf--whatever I can find that's remotely messy. I love…

Whomever wins this game will win the Super Bowl. I'm an AFC girl and there's just no comparing the well rounded NFC teams to the 'just a juggernaut offense' Pats.

I've been buying organic pineapple and it is fabulous. I didn't even like pineapple until I bought the real thing--NOT in cans.

I understand the humanization of pets much more than I "get" naming inanimate objects --like cars, or sewing machines--or even a piano.

This is one reason I spend so little time on Facebook anymore. The attention *kitten* are everywhere. Really, does EVERYONE really need to know your kid has lice or that you found a can of peas that expired in 1986? My advice to you is to place her thread on "ignore" or just spend the time you'd normally be on Facebook…

I have long hair. It's not curly/frizzy but rather straight. I put it up in a loose bun. When I take it down I have lots of loose waves. There are lots of great book that offer all kinds of fun braided hairstyles. Those can be pretty ,too.

Drogo Wellington

I'd counter with a list of surgical cuts you'd like him to get. Start with a penis enhancement. Fair is fair .

"Paula Deen represents everything that is wrong with America" I always thought that was the Kardashians ;) But they are all related since it's clear all they all live with the montra, "if you pay me, I'll do it".

It all starts with that major realization that you need to work to feel and look better. You're gonna do great!!

Trip to Europe. I've been wanting to go but my weight and the problem I have with my joints has made it impossible to plan a fun trip where we can see a lot of things.

Look at the difference in your face!!! You look terrific and I'm so proud of you. Best wishes for a wonderful 2012. You are well on your way!

I had my only cheat day yesterday and went over by 300 calories. I felt so guilty that I got on the treadmill last night and took half of it back. :)

Great post !!!

I think you're setting yourself up for certain types of answers when you post this on a fitness/ weight loss site. If I went to a plus sized dating site and asked the same thing about beauty, the answers would be distinctly different. I'm not so sure that healthy and thin are exclusive to making anyone beautiful. It's all…

I'm reading "To Be Sung Underwater". Just finished "The Giver" and "The NIght Circus" All excellent.

I sure hope that he had had a little too much to drink--because if he's that big of a Pr*ck all the time then he'd have no friends. Very unfortunate..

Ditto to what others have said. My son just turned ten. I have issues with him all the time but I do give him a 15 minute break between classes ( as long as he's good ) and it helps. He's an advanced piano student and has to practice at least 75 minutes a day. We have to break that up into two sessions because he loses…

HI! I homeschool my nine year old. It's tough going with one--can't imagine three. You are my hero. We have been going out everyday and walking our two dogs. The sunshine really lifts my son's attitude. Is there a significant other that might find be able to give you a half hour of YOU time to work out? My husband is…

Where I live, there is an eleven mile loop (bridge to bridge ) around the river. I used to walk the enitre thing sometimes four times a week. We do have winter here but they are mild. The only downside is that dog walkers disrespect the wonderful resource we have by letting their dogs run free and poop everywhere. It's…

I think people are allowed to have different tastes. I can't even tolerate the idea of sushi but I wouldn't put down people who like it. I like Subway but don't eat it often. I can't stand to wait in line.

I play piano. Have been taking lessons for 5 years right along my son who started when he was 4. He is almost 10 now and very talented. I play harder repertoire because I have a musical background ( band in school for 5 years) but he has more skill and talent and memorizes pieces in a flash. He's already won Student of the…
