In 1993 I was abducted at 11:15 in the morning in the middle of the downtown bus depot in front of plenty of witnesses. No one did a smeggin' thing. Don't be like that. Report it right away.

For this year: Refinance my mortgage Organize our charity first mud run! De-clutter my house Pay off one of the cars

Eat when you're hungry. If you're not hungry, then your body really doesn't need food.* If you're finding, however, that you regularly are not hungry enough to eat 1200 cals per day, then you need to look at what's going on. First, make sure that you're tracking accurately. Are your portion sizes accurate? (IOW, is that…

If it were possible I'd give you mine. :) Seriously though, if it works for you. Hugs. :)

Take a minute and ask yourself- Why are you doing this? Why do you want to work out? What is your goal and why is it important? Now write it down. Place that wherever you find yourself spending time instead of working out. It doesn't matter if it's cleaning the kitchen, resting on the couch, or the morning alarm clock. Put…

I had a similar reaction and checked with my doc. She said based on the kinds of things we cut out when we go clean, it's not uncommon for this kind of headache to hit and stick around for a couple of of weeks. Give it a few more days. If it doesn't get better, call your doc. Make sure to bring your food diary if you have…

Protein shakes work fine for those who need extra protein. I use Body Fortress (can find it at walmart, very reasonably priced) and it's pretty tasty.

Oh my, is this a wish list or something I'm supposed to try and accomplish? My time is mighty short for this one... 1. Go on a mission trip. <-- This one I did accomplish. 2. Get into seminary school. 3. Teach kids. I better stop there. I've got less than a month to accomplish these things!

Shameless

Tell her one last time that your ability to like someone has nothing to do with your desire or lack thereof to eat sweets. Your desire to make yourself better also has nothing to do with your opinion of someone else. You don't want sweets. Then drop the subject. Anytime she offers them in the future, just let them sit…

Not by Halloween, but find yourself a good Masquerade Ball for New Years and you're there. When I first went on the South Beach eating plan I lost 2-2.5 lbs per week with good eating and working out. Based on your profile pic, though, I'm thinking what you really want is something to slim up what you already have. Maybe…

Oh I can so relate! I was a med that did that, too. I told my doc I needed to get off of it. After much persuading and threatening to take myself off of it with or without her help, she agreed to try something else. I don't know if you have that option, but it's worth asking. Seriously, if you have to be on a medication,…

Do you have a slow cooker? That always helps me. Here's my ideal week: Sunday: Slow cook a pot roast (if you don't have one, do it on the stove.) Cook it with large chunks of carrot and celery and your choice of spices. Serve with salad. Monday: Slow cook or bake about eight chicken breasts. If slow cooker, cook in a mix…

Why does it even become an issue? I've been to tons of potlucks where the only thing I ate was the thing I brought myself. No one generally made any comment about it. In general, I find that it's no big deal if you don't make it a big deal. If anyone chooses to make comments, one response works for all, "I'm good, thanks."…

Oh wow, I have never heard of these. Checked the web site and wow! Even found out my little podunk grocery store carries them! Thanks for the thread.

Cacique's is my place of choice. But seroiusly, don't be sure she's too big for Victoria's Secret. I'm fairly overweight and at my heaviest I could still get bra and undies there. Others to consider- Hanes outlet/store.

Blech. I have tried a lot of protein bars on the shelves and most of them have way too much sugar. Even the ones that use artificial sweeteners are far too sweet. I designed my own at http://www.youbars.com . I decided I wanted them less sweet, exactly what kind of protein, flavors, etc. Best I've ever had and I still…

I use mine, mostly as a place for me to track what my goals are. Most of the time I'm the only one who reads it, so I don't exactly write for the masses anymore. I used to put up tech reviews, but no one seemed to find them so I stopped.

Do you use an HRM when you run? I would recommend it. If not, at least use the estimate provided by MFP for calories burned. Consider eating back most of your exercise calories if you are hungry. And first responder had a point- rest days are important to your muscles. Lots of water and rest or your body will retain. To…

Hi, my name is Jenna and I'm a full time working mother. I support a full time working husband who is also going to school and I have two elementary school age kids. This gives you an idea of how much time I have on my hands-about as much as most of you. 0 ;o Anyway, I have a lot of weight to lose, but I also have a set of…

Technically, no. Water is good for you, but has no nutrients.

Check out your page and it looks great! I always enjoy finding another North Carolinean!

Yes, I agree that you do need to get professional help. If you are in the US, call 1-800-931-2237 for assistance. In the meantime, do you have a journal? If so, grab it. If not, find something you can use for one. Write this all down in that journal. Then write down your emotions. What are you feeling? What is stressing…

Love it! Sadly I am not in Detroit, but you have considered Angie's List? I hear men fall in love with Angie's List. In the commercials they are forever asking forgiveness of their women for doing so...

Any vegetable soup that's broth based is good. Beans are a great side dish. (Black beans, white beans with tomatoes) Sauteed bok choy with chick peas (garbonzo beans) ginger and soy Hearts of Palm "potato" salad 2 tsp lemon juice 1 tsp dijon mustard 1 garlic clove, minced 1 tbsp ev olive oil 2 14 oz cans hearts of palm,…

25 ml is the same as .11 cups http://www.cookaz.com/convert_volume.aspx#ml2c That's almost nothing. It comes to 9 calories. Are you sure you didn't mean 250 ml? That would be just over 1 cup (1.06 to be exact). You can look up your conversion, then you search in the database.

I have an ab roller and enjoy that. Okay, enjoy probably isn't the word for it. I can use it and it works me out HARD. I really need to pull that thing back out. Thanks for the reminder!

I can totally relate. I pushed myself to about week 3 of this program before I finally realized that the one I was following wasn't for me. Let me point out-there is more than one "C25k" program out there. Different ones take different roads to the goal. Shop around. I don't know how many there are, but I've seen at least…

Step 1. Decide what you will and will not eat and drink up front. Don't do any of it because of peer pressure. Do it for you. Don't drink b/c everyone else is doing it. Step 2. Workout despite what they say. Get some DVDs you can do in your room if you need to. That way you can do a 30 minute workout and then shower…

My 65 year old mother is losing faster than me. I'd say no.
