As much as it hurts me to say this... I started my IT career before there were IT degrees, and LONG before women were common in the industry. My first "modern" computer (i.e. - I could pick it up) used 8" floppy disks. Which means, when I was a young one, you were lucky if somebody owned a television on your BLOCK, and the…

I'm just really curious why people think the government has to intervene? Look at *anything* the government manages - seriously, at least I learn from the mistakes I make over time. I'll make my own mistakes, and not have the red tape and bureaucracy so I can quickly adjust when I learn a better way, thank you very much.

Why should they limit what you purchase in whatever quantity? Why would you want them to? If you give a government the power to take away your choices in one area, what makes you think they'll stop at that area?

^^^ THIS! You keep on going my friend, and do please start measuring yourself. We measure calf, knee, thigh, hips, waist, chest, bicep, forearm, and neck. You may be one of those lucky people who gains "evenly" - meaning that your arms gain as fast as your ankles, etc. People who gain evenly don't have an easy time…

This is such a hot topic here it seems. First, no - I wouldn't say without reservation that any one thing can work for everybody. The second thing is that it is not about eating "more" so much as fueling your body properly. That encompasses finding the right foods for you and the right calorie burn for you - it's' like…

A-MAAAAAAAAAAA-ZING! SO glad you posted. It's incredibly inspirational - thank you for sharing your journey, and congrats on how far you've already come! :-D

Finished my degree almost exactly a year ago - I know just what you mean. Hang in there - you can do it!

Thanks for sharing your amazing accomplishment and the good advise. It hasn't been hard except in the patience department... at least for me. My weight is coming off so slowly, but my body is losing inches - which I celebrate. I do hope to get to that lovely achievement one day - and please know how much you inspire people…

Be sure to sue its manufacturer later for making it so delicious that you thought it was health food! :wink:

Great Glutes! I love grabbing something I got thinking "Someday...." and finding out that this IS someday, finally! You look absolutely fantastic! :flowerforyou:

Love it - thanks for the recipe - I'm adding this to my list of "must-try-recipes" because we love to have soup several times a week in the winter, and that's when we tend to need it most because it's easy to gain then. :flowerforyou:

Oh! I forgot to add that I didn't have one of those brand of cutters - just a cheapo slicer that I got at a garage sale. It sliced the potato really thin, and did the trick. I'm sure the mandolin brand would do better, though I don't know what the V cut is for, but my little cutter did fine. :smile:

Two things about this: 1. IT WORKS! Hallelujah! I saw some parchment paper in the grocery store today and picked it up to try this out. Holy mackerel, this works - 75 calories, 17 carbs,. 0 fat, 2 grams protein, 472 grams potassium (!!!) and 10 grams sodium is what I just ate for a very filling snack that I completely…

Supportive friends don't bash your head in or rub your nose in the fact that you messed up - you already know you did. But your friends also don't act like repeatedly binging is just slipping or being human. Supportive friends help you gather the courage to look at the truth reflected in your diary, and help you decide on…

That's the goal - when you find your sweet spot, you'll consistently lose. And the recipe builder is SO easy to use. Add in each ingredient of your recipe and enter how many people that recipe can serve - it does all the math for you. Slow and stead is the best way to change your lifestyle to a healthy, sustainable one.…

WOOHOOO! Look at you! Yes, you can see the difference in your face but also in your midriff and hips and arms! I think the most important difference for me is how I feel, knowing that my weight is something I can control. And you've had only one setback, so my guess is that you're feeling pretty empowered, too. I'm so…

Wow Irene, that's a phenomenal result! The hard work has really paid off and you're close to reaching your goal. I don't know all the steps it takes to become a fitness professional but I do know one thing -- if you've decided to do it, you'll achieve it! Wonderful accomplishment! :flowerforyou:

I totally relate - I worked my strength back up even after I had my kids. Then I took on 2 jobs because I was a single mom, and pulled the large muscle away from the thigh bone by being stupid and not stretching out before a baseball game. A couple of decades at a desk job, going back to school, and becoming a…

I found a brand new Polar FT4 on a popular online shop for sixty bucks - which was a complete steal. If I could have afforded it, I would have gotten the FT7 - but I am financially strapped right now (no pun intended). I love mine. No pedometer, but you can pick those up on the cheap from lots of places.

Didn't anybody warn you about the forum cops?

Do you have to be silly to consider this fun?
