Yep, that's my staple for breakfast during the week and has been for well over a year and a half. Sometimes on the weekend I'll enjoy a yummy egg omlet filled with veggies though. Delish! I don't have time to cook during the week though (in the mornings) and my shake is much easier and low cal. :smile: Works for me!

It helps lower my blood pressure, improves my mood on bad days, I sleep better at night, and I fit in smaller clothes. :wink:

food critic.....looks like she'd have refined taste.

Wedding coordinator

Genius! <3

Yes, indeed!

Yes, indeed!

I'm originally from Alexandria, LA...born and raised! I relocated to my current location in southwest Virginia in 2011 due to work. I miss family and friends and the friendly Louisiana culture and OF COURSE the food but not the heat. So good to see a home boy! :smile:

Yep!

Sorry to hear of your loss. Hugs for you as well.

So sorry for your loss. Saw your post with her pics a little further down. What a cutie! Hugs to you.

I wouldn't mind more friends that are encouraging and active on MFP! I'm working hard to get my head back on straight so I can lose the last of my weight. A little extra motivation would sure help. :wink: Feel free to add me!

I can't get my photo to attach but there is a pic in my profile of my dog, Roxie, kayaking with me. She goes with me regularly! I've tried her on my paddle board but she was restless so that will have to wait until my balance is a little more developed and sure. :) I love all the dog photos/posts!

Yep

Yes

The beautiful mountains of southwest Virginia here!

Sure thing!

Not a runner here! I have no desire whatsoever to run. I also hate cardio machines. Sooooooooooo BORING. My cardio of choice is Jazzercise and I go as often as possible and try to miss very few classes. I also paddle board (wonderful core workout) and kayak fairly often as I LOVE these activities. And hiking. I live in the…

My profile pic will have to suffice as I am unable to post pics here from my work computer. Grateful to my grandmother for the red hair she passed along to me! So grateful in fact, that I passed the genes along to my oldest son. :) Keeping the ginger going! I do freckle during the summer as I am outdoors a lot. But I do my…

I wholeheartedly agree with you! I also could not watch longer than a few minutes. It wasn't worth my time.

I have never been attracted to men such as these. Not the muscle. Not their tiny minds. Ugh. It's funny what some people in this world thinks constitutes a "real man" or an alpha male. My alpha male and yet "soft" husband could out alpha both of these guys any day regardless of muscle mass. This is absolutely subjective.…

OP: I LOVE it! And I think it looks great on you! Just my opinion, but I think you should wear it and feel confident in your choice to wear it. :wink:

I'm 5'10" Which makes wearing heels challenging. I wear them anyway. I'm a rebel like that. ;)

I have so many answers to that question! I've lost 96lbs in 14 months and rather than list the worst things about being fat, I'll list the BEST things about no longer being fat (which is a similar list in reverse, know what I mean?): 1. Can I tell you how delightful it is to sit in a booth without dread of whether or not I…

Just a few things that came immediately to mind are: Potted meat (looks and smells like dog food.....ugh) Spam (also looks and smells like dog food) Vienna sausages (looks and smells like fancy dog food?) Fried pickles And fried oreos, and yes I've tried them. Still thought they were not that great so not worth the calorie…

Without a doubt, you should see your physician and have some bloodwork done. A deficiency in a number of vitamins or minerals can lead to fatigue and are an easy fix. Recently I kept feeling exhausted and would fall asleep on the couch every night. I had bloodwork done late April/early May and learned my iron was really…

Why not splurge on something relaxing like a massage or pedicure? Wipe that look off your face, fellas get pedicures too! They are so relaxing! Or like GuitarJerry says, go for something active. I've been trying to plan out my last reward (no, I still haven't had the opportunity to celebrate it) by going white water…

Best. Thread. Ever. I have always loved my red hair. I'm the only one of my grandmother's grandchildren that is blessed with her beautiful red hair! Thanks, grandma!

A gold brick! Wooohooo!!!!!

Ooooooooh, this made me chuckle! Really! So thank you for that! :)
