Singing! Beer or liquor?

Gorgeous!

Well sure! I am actually pretty good at it! :smiley:

Makeup consultant at MAC :blush:

Smile and tell her to make it a great day! :smile:

I used to have the longest thickest hair and mine started falling out. My doctor has diagnosed me with PCOS (poly cycst ovary syndrome.) Might be worth checking into the symptoms...

My husband's choir coach says the water is definitely best to drink before singing to get things lubed and loose. I have heard that drinking warm water makes it get into your system faster and cold water your body has to work harder to process so you burn calories drinking cold water. Haven't reserached that but it's what…

I typically try really hard not to use my earned calories from exercise, but on rare splurge days when I do I feel a little less guilty. :P

Welcome!

Wow! It is like, we all know water is good for us... but seriously this puts it in perspective! Really great post! Raise those water glasses high! Bottoms up! :D

I watched that the other day and it was funnier than I anticipated. I laughed quite a bit. You just can't take it too seriously. I like a movie i don't have to think about to "get it" sometimes. ;)

Went and saw the new Shrek movie last week and it is SO much better than the 3rd one (IMO) I LOL'ed a lot. LOVE the fat Puss in Boots. :D

Loads of great suggestions here... my friend turned me on to these homeopathic over the counter pills just called Leg Cramps with Quinine that helped me a lot. I take them when I get really back lower back or leg cramps and they work really well for me.

[/quote] That is probably a very good point. I've been very comfortable hiding in my office and not really being noticed. [/quote] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I can relate. I wish I could just appear one way to people all the time. Heavy or thin. I wish…

That is a good idea! :)

Perhaps you feel strangely because when our outward appearances change people notice and when they say something we may interpret it as a judgement... whether it's a nice comment or a bad comment I still get anxiety at times when people make comments...

That is really truly wonderful! Congratulations! You deserve a w00t w00t for that for sure! :D

I am a tattoo fanatic as well. I have 8 now. 1. On my right ankle I have a purple rose and white daisy. (Friendship tat with a best friend.) 2. On my back between my shoulder blades of my son's footprints with a banner that has his name on it. (Tribute piece I got on what would have been his 10th birthday.) 3. On my left…

Reading through everyone's posts I think I have discovered I am perhaps a part time food addict.... is that possible? Sometimes I look to food for comfort when I am sad or depressed and half the time I just stop eating all together because I am just too upset and it makes me feel ill to eat. I almost find myself eating…

I struggle with the same thing, when I get home if I sit down it's all over. I don't have a gym membership anymore with the penny pinching we have to do in today's economy so I have hand weights and a treadmill. So when I get home from work I try to immediately change into my workout gear from my work clothes and head to…

Welcome! I am from the East side of WA.! MFP is an amazing tool and helps you understand your eating and exercise habits so much better and easier. And best of all this amazing tool is FREE! :D W00t!! I wish you much success. We are all here for you if you need support. ;)

I tend to try to save on calories in the other parts of my day if I KNOW there is a possible splurge type meal on the horizon. Or eat something healthy but filling before you go out so it is not so tempting to go overboard. I am always disappointed when I go out because if I don't research it and then I try to make a…

A nice NON Food related reward works better for me. Whether it is a sugar free fat free latte, or a new pair of shoes, or a bouquet of flowers for yourself... just something that makes you feel good and special. ;) Give yourself things to look forward to to stay motivated and strong. Another motivator I am trying out is I…

Some awesome suggestions! Glad you had that question!!!

I do the same thing and just plain old mashed avacado is so delicious!! With pita bread or chips it is super good!

Arts or crafts, keep your hands and mind busy. Skip the TV... just start moving if nothing else. Start a project. That helps me... Good luck... ;)

You all are so awesome! Great ideas! You saved me from making a big lunch time splurge without knowing... Thanks for the website suggestion especially! I forgot they usually post nutritional values online! Yay for MF Pals!!!

Welcome back, I have been off the wagon for a couple weeks myself and am climbing back on top the horse this week too! Godo luck to you!
