Absolutely... More and more studies are showing that the "Food Pyramid" that was implemented in the 60's and 70's was completely wrong. The body uses carbohydrates much differently that originally thought. The science sounded good on paper: Fat increases cholesterol, and cholesterol causes plaque, plaque leads to…

A fat kid running for the ice cream truck. :glasses:

Was about to break up with my high school boyfriend and then proceed to make a series of poor choices that would inevitably make the person that I am today - however bad or good that person is. Also, my father was about 3 months away from catching a "flu" that wouldn't go away. He would go to the ER the following March…

Urban Decay Primer Potion and my Coastal Scents 88 Palette. If I'm ever stranded on an island, those are coming with me!

Heavens no! I use Coffeemate Natural Bliss and Splenda now instead of Half & Half and sugar, but I still have about 5 cups a day. Heck, I think I have MORE Starbucks Iced Coffee now than I did before I started. A Venti with nonfat milk and 4 Splendas is only around 30 calories.

Tie a resistance band around something (a beam or a pole), and put it around your ankle. You can use the pole or beam for stability and do some leg pulls. Don't bend your leg, and hold your core in tight, so only your leg pulls back. Do 3 sets of 10. Gets your butt, hip flexor, and core all at once!

I can't believe how skinny I was!

Certified Medical Assistant i.e. - I do what they won't pay the LPN's to do.

I've always had a hard time making friends just because I'm so opinionated and vocal. I'm blatantly honest to people. I don't know, I think I'm missing that part of my brain that sensors what my mind thinks and my mouth says. It's not that I'm a mean person, but I do come off as abrasive. My husband has to tell me that…

I got my first car in 2001. It was a white 1991 Chevrolet Corsica. I'm pretty sure that now it's worth more in scrap metal and parts than it would be in blue book, considering I ran it through a barbed-wire fence and got sideswiped by a huge F-250 on the driver's side. By the time I stopped driving it, it was burning oil.…

I was born in Maryville, TN and now I live about 30 miles away in Powell, TN.

A little late to the party! Christy 28 1. I'm still afraid of the dark. 2. My favorite food on the planet is fried chicken. 3. Ab and Core workouts always make me fart. 4. I also narrate my own "cooking shows." 5. I collect useless trivia.

Last night...I ate 6 fudgecicles. In a row. While sitting on the couch. I only logged 3. :ohwell:

I'm an MA, and I work with mostly overweight nurses. We just don't take care of ourselves the way we should. Part of it is the hours. Part of it is the drug reps and their tasty snacks that they bring. Part of it is just not having the time to eat what we should/exercise. My trainer told me that people in the medical field…

I set Pandora to Classical Solo Piano. Weird? Yes.

FreeJenni - 9.9 - I love the shape of your face!

My Own Worst Enemy by LIT ....takes me back...

Cows are vegans, and they're delicious! :) Thanks for the advice. I do like sweet potatoes, but not without brown sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon. I tried the cauliflower mash and I had the same reaction. It's definitely a mind over matter thing. Zucchini chips sound good...

Whole grain all the way! Your body doesn't digest them the same. Yeah, more calories, but you're giving your body more fiber and nutrients. If it comes down to bleached or unbleached, take the unbleached.

Same for me. I love my son, and I wouldn't take anything for him. I even work in a pediatrician's office, and I'm awkward around other people's kids! I don't tolerate bad behavior from my own child, but there's always that unspoken obligation to tolerate it from other people's children.

Wow guys! Awesome! I think having some friends will make this A LOT easier!

:o) I'm sorry...I'm prejudice against avacado. Had a bad guacamole incident a few years ago. Still gives me chills. lol
