I'm a big fan of Adam Lambert, and I just really can't wait to see what he does next. Adam and Allison are my picks for the final two. In my opinion, they wasted the judges save.

:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Congratulations!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: I love to see that you thought it was easy. This site really does make it easy, and I never thought it could be that way. Good luck on your next fitness goal! :flowerforyou:

Congrats on your early success! :drinker: It's great that you and your wife are doing this together. Good luck and enjoy the beautiful spring weather. :flowerforyou:

Ug, I've been sick the past couple days. Hopefully I can get to my push-ups tomorrow or the next day. I don't like missing so many days!

Flax oil and fish oil have similar benefits (I would only take one or the other) and they give you a boost of healthy Omega 3-6-9 fatty acids. In my opinion flax oil is the better of the two because it gives you more Omega 3 than fish oil as well as potassium, vitamin B, protein, and fiber (also some vegetarian refuse to…

My personal belief on this subject is that if you are already eating a healthy and balanced diet, you get plenty of nutrients from that. Most of the vitamins and minerals in daily total vitamins can't even be absorbed properly by the body. (As far as the theory of 'it couldn't hurt" I actually believe that it can hurt. For…

:heart: Love it. :heart:

I can totally understand that. I used to have this notion that dieting was eating as little as possible and exercising as much as possible. It never really occurred to me to think of food as fuel, or that my body actually needed more food when I exercised. Try to remember that you are not just eating-away all your hard…

I did A LOT of reading on dog nutrition before I started her on the raw diet. Each meal for her would include 1 cup of veggies, 2% of her body weight in muscle meats, 1 cup of organ meats, 1 tsp of each of her supplements. All the meats and veggies are absolutely raw, with the bones whole. It is a complete myth that dogs…

I won't explain why it works because there are a lot of posts that will explain it better. But I will say that, like you, I do a lot of exercise and burn about 700-1,000 calories a day doing that. I always ate back 80-100% of my exercise calories. Yes, some days that did mean I was eating 2200 calories, but it worked! I…

I'm a cookbook junkie and a pescetarian for almost 6 years now, so I'll post a couple of my favorite vegetarian cookbooks here... Moosewood Restaurant Cookbooks: any of these are absolutely awesome for vegetarians, pescetarians, and vegans. Simple midwest-pleasing-style foods with big flavor. Favorite recipes from this…

I tried this out, but at my height, it didn't show any difference in the model for a 17lbs loss. In fact I had to put the after model at 135lbs before it even changed from 162lbs. I see a difference on me...a lot of a difference. This model generator is probably a lot better if you have/had more weight to lose. In a way,…

Yeah, I told my doctor that I have been with my boyfriend for 5 years and he's the first and only sexual partner. I guess I do need to talk to a different doctor.

My boxer had some strange reactions to food when she was a puppy. She seemed to be allergic to wheat/rice/corn and we had a hard time finding pet foods for her. So, for 4 months we fed her a raw homemade diet. She did much better on it, but it was way too expensive for us to keep buying all the organic meat (between the…

The pun police fine you 200 calories today. :tongue: Welcome to MFP! :flowerforyou:

Has anybody who does NOT have children, had mirena put in? I really want to use something like that, but my doctor will not give it to women who have no children. Despite the fact I say I do not want any children now, 5 years from now, or ever. Is there a valid reason she wouldn't give it to somebody without kids?

The Gentle Leader is one of the best dog leash/collars on the market! I have a stubborn boxer who likes to pull, and the leader settles her right down. I also used the leader on a pit bull we were fostering. She was way too strong for me to handle (even at 6 months old) but with the leader, she was a perfect angel. The…

I agree with SHBoss, I'd go with the terabyte hard drive. I got mine at Best Buy for $130, it will have more than enough room for anything you can think of. If you browse around, you may be able to find a better price. I only went to Best Buy because I had a gift certificate. Good luck with your purchase.

I agree about the sodium content of canned veggies. If you have the opportunity to switch to frozen veggies, I would highly suggest it.

LOL, this thread is 5 pages too long.

I love to make special treats for my dog. She does like yogurt. So in the summer time I make yogurt ice cubes for her. Add a bit of honey to some plain yogurt (you can also mix in flax seed and fish oil if you have supplements for your doggy), then pour the yogurt mixture into ice cube trays and freeze them to make…

Simplest way to make a guacamole is to peeled and mash 1 avocado and add 2 tbsp of your favorite fresh salsa. if you want to make guacamole the basic recipe is following: 1 small onion, finely chopped (red or yellow) 2 tbsp cilantro, finely chopped 1 small tomato, seeded, chopped (I prefer Roma) 1 avocado, peeled, seeded,…

1. Your weight training exercises? Yes, but only because I combine weight training with cardio. I also wear and HRM. 2. Water consumption? Yes, I try to keep track and make sure I drink 8 glasses, at least. 3. When you are "tasting" something? I don't count tastes of food I cook, because I end up counting my portion of the…

Hehe I have a boxer too. The night we brought her home from the breeder (she was 12 weeks old), she farted the whole car ride home. We thought it was funny then...lol but it never stopped. She has the loudest farts I've ever heard from a creature that doesn't really have butt cheeks. It became the main reason she's not…

Small to medium pasta shapes 8 oz. uncooked = 4 cups cooked Long pasta shapes 8 oz. uncooked or 1 1/2 inch diameter bunch = 4 cups cooked Egg Noodles 8 oz. uncooked = 2 1/2 cups cooked *edit* so if you do the math 2.5 cups of cooked rotini (small to medium shaped pasta) is 5oz dry. 5 oz of dry pasta is a little under 2…
