Holy crap. I love the Sears Skydeck but "open" heights freak me out. The slide looks cool though! I might go down it if I could have a stiff drink before. And after. And possibly during.

Funniest. Thread. Ever.

I readjusted my #s following IPOARM/EMTWL at the beginning of this year. I aim for TDEE - 20%. So far, so good! 6 lbs down so far in 2013. (I'm only aiming to lose 25-30 lbs overall so my loss is a bit slower than some.) I eat lots of fresh fruits, veggies, protein & still make room for treats & wine. Great job on your…

Rudeness, cockiness, incorrect grammar/spelling, poor hygiene, racism, religious proselytism, dwelling on past relationships, sloppy kissing.

The Water Taxi is running now. Take that to Mich Ave or Chinatown from Ogilvie Station for a nice scenic ride. High tea at the fancy hotels is fun, Millennium Park is great for walking around, some bars along the River Walk are open now, go to Bucktown or River North for a plethora of good restaurants, go to Devon Ave or…

Puppy AND drum set.

Wow. Your sister is just an insecure, jealous be-yotch, I think. Be proud of your success & keep on keepin' on! <3

Chicago!

OOOOH! So making these!

Post-workout wine bar. Also, if you don't wipe your sweat off of a bench/machine after using it, you're given a warning. Second time you fail to de-sweat your machine, you're done. NO GYM FOR YOU!

I don't like eating much in the morning. Never have been a big breakfast person (although I like a good weekend brunch sometimes). I have coffee, and if I'm hungry mid-morning, I keep oatmeal & granola bars in my desk. I eat a big lunch & a good dinner with a snack or two during the day. It's what works for me. Do what…

Ooh, I will definitely try that too! :)

OMG, I am so making this! Thanks for the idea :)

My latest favorite sweet treat is raspberry or strawberry non-fat Greek yogurt with a spoonful of dark chocolate chips mixed in. Delicious!!! I also love the Special K raspberry & strawberry cereal bars and the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal bars, and the Snack Pack puddings with a bit of granola mixed in. I like oatmeal…

Bring me some Chinese food, a Kit-Kat, & a glass of wine.... no, a bottle! Thanks, boys! :-*

Hmmm.... I feel a headache coming on ;)

My story: I was always thin and fit. I graduated high school weighing 99 pounds (I'm 4'10"). I studied dance, mostly classical ballet, for 18 years. I took classes 2 or 3 days a week and ate whatever I wanted, knowing that dance class kept me fit. Then I quit dancing in my early 20s after college, due to injuries and…

<---- senior prom, 1996!

All. The. Time! My personal Rx: running, yoga, meditating, reading a funny book, writing (lists, journaling, random thoughts, whatever), arts&crafts, hot bubble bath to clear head, and wine.

I'm a Chicagoan, but I hate guns. And rap music. I'm a city girl, but I know how to drive. I'm very short, but I'm not a helpless weakling. I have big boobs, but I'm not a ditz. I have Jewish heritage, but I love bacon. I am a woman, and I can build furniture from a pile of raw lumber.

I only eat breakfast -- something small & light, like a granola bar or cereal -- a couple days a week. Otherwise I just have coffee. I'm usually not hungry in the morning. And if I eat when I'm not hungry, I feel blech. Listen to your body. I always hear "you must eat breakfast! It's most important!" But I'm 34 years old &…

Get naked, remove jewelry, pee, floss teeth, exfoliate, trim nails, get a haircut.... Haha, j/k. Just the 1st two.

Hi Nat! Welcome to the group! :) Click on the person's profile; there should be "add" & "message" buttons.

Slather on some Nutella for dessert!

Mazel dong!!! ;)

^Agreed. To each his/her own.

Speak softly and give Me that red velvet cupcake And no one gets hurt

Saturdays are best Errands cleaning and a nap Now pour me my wine

You can add me too. I joined MFP about a year ago but didn't really get into using it consistently until 5 months ago. (I just got the 150-day log-in post & am still loving it!) It's so convenient to track food & exercise, and support from friends is encouraging. Sometimes you just know it's the right time to make a…

What am I gonna do with all these bottles of goat urine then?? C'mon, Craigslist....
