Although I removed alcohol for other reasons, I found it much easier to lose weight without it. Sure, I used to make the room for a couple of glasses of wine after dinner, but that wasn't much of the problem. The bigger problems were that the alcohol tended to keep me awake longer and I ended up getting a bad case of the…

If your house payment is more than half of your monthly take-home pay, you are "house poor". I am guessing that you bought the house while you were BOTH still working, as most respectable lenders won't let a prospective borrower go over about 35 - 38% debt-to-income ratio. You are spending way too much on house. I am sure…

I'm probably going to raise a few hackles with my comments, but you see, he IS being a horrible husband and father. He just doesn't see it... I read through the comments to this point and stopped to comment. I don't think I need to read any further. You are not married to a man, you are married to a little boy. You aren't…

Hi ... My name's Bob ... Hmm ... something random about me ... I was an angry, Christian hating atheist till a little over a year ago ... Now I'm a very devout Christian ... What an amazing transformation He has worked in me!

Some rapper on the Jimmy Fallon show ... but in my head, I'm hearing "Grace Like Rain" by Todd Agnew

My opinion only. Go downstairs with your head high. Pull her aside and tell her what you just told us, about not having any idea. Apologize for the past comments, and forgive her for yelling at you. She probably feels just as bad as you do. Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks, not hold grudges. Forgiveness doesn't need…

leave the phone on, but turn the ringer off! Problem solved.

"The Purpose Driven Life" is probably second on my list ...

^^^^^ LOVE THIS!!! That is mine, also.

Thank you for the topic, it's an awesome one. My wife and I have been married coming up on 10 yrs now, and we've been together for about 14. She's African-American, and I'm a Causasian mutt (french-english-irish-scotch-welsh-german-cherokee). Both of our immediate families have no issues whatsoever with our marriage. My…

A 3.6 lb weight gain OVERNIGHT usually has nothing to do with excessive caloric intake. From the math involved, you would have had to eat close to 10,000 calories above and beyond any calories you burned ( just by being alive and also exercising) YESTERDAY to cause that kind of weight gain. Did you eat two large pizza hut…

Not a big fan of the frozen fruits, I'd rather have fresh or 'canned' (I like the del monte fruit naturals), but I love dried fruits. Kroger (Fred Meyer) sells a "tropical trail mix" made by American Importing Co that is pretty good. It has chopped dates, dried pineapple and mango, raisins, and coconut flakes. I usually…

Richard Dreyfuss. I was in the navy on a Submarine, and was standing watch at the electric plant control panel, and the reactor operator looked over at me and says "You know, you look like Richard Dreyfuss." He then went back to stabbing the heel of his boot with a 4" lockblade knife ... and said (AS HE IS STABBING HIS…

I think you win the "Randomness" award! Is there any other significance to that string?? Inquiring minds want to know. :)

Are those free sample smarties?

NO

Troll MFP and FB for a bit, then curl up on the loveseat with a good book for a little while ..."I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist" by Norman L. Geisler and Frank Turek, then read some more from 1 Samuel (Old Testament), then bedtime with my sweetheart!

MFP REALLY needs a "LOVE THIS" button!

If you indeed have a food addiction/obsession, or are an 'emotional eater' (and it sounds like you do/are) you would benefit greatly from joining a support group, either in your local area or online (www.therecoverygroup.org). While not a food addict, I am a recovering alcoholic, and used therecoverygroup.org to help me…

My sweetheart and I have access to each other's phones/computers. Nothing to hide.

First car I ever bought was a 1970 Buick Skylark 4dr. That was in 1979.

I loved my keurig, until it died, after a little over 2 yrs. We tossed around the idea of getting another one, but ended up getting a Hamilton Beach "The Scoop 2-way" Single + Carafe ... It can brew either a single cup or a 12 cup pot. Granted, it's not as quick as the Keurig for singles, but I can use my own coffee…

I probably would if I needed to, but I am MASSIVELY afraid of needles (I have almost passed out just having blood taken for a routine physical) and have yet to donate it.

I always eat breakfast, unless I am fasting. I try to NOT eat foods with nitrates/nitrites in them. I don't usually worry about fat, because most of the fat I take in is "good fat" I don't worry about sugars, because most of the sugars I take in are naturally occurring I prefer normal over "fat free" or "reduced fat" or…
