So Crazy! (It was a 4.5 they are 'preliminary' reporting)

I haven't made any but all the 'recipes' that I've found on overnight oatmeal state that the liquid & flavor get absorbed by sitting overnight and you don't cook it the next morning. I've never seen an overnight oatmeal made just as 'common' oats and water oatmeal. It's usually some sort of flavored oatmeal (chai, fruit,…

One is opening by us in a week so I'm giving this a 'BUMP'!!

SWEET POTATO BURRITOS! Take 3 large sweet potatoes. Rinse & scrub them (don't dry) in water and throw them in the croc-pot. Cook on high for 4 hours. Remove skin (if you want) and mash with fork and use it for sweet potato burritos! SO GOOD! Add some lettuce, black beans, plain greek yogurt, salsa, and your favorite…

So sad & frustrating! :frown: I know we shouldn't live our lives in fear but with more and more shootings it makes it hard not to be anxious.

I just made IPA cupcakes with crumbled candied bacon on top for my friend's 30th......DELICIOUS!

Stay at home mom. I also homeschool them so totally feel like that's a full time job! lol:yawn:

Congrats!! You get 10 points:bigsmile: and yes- it's a great reminder no to throw my weights at the tv @ Jillian. I can't even believe I bought a JM dvd because I can't stand her (that's mean....) but I actually like her in the 30ds. It's a love/hate relationship

Thanks for all the encouragement and motivation!! That's why I LOVE mfp :) Also thanks to everyone for making me feel like I can move onto level 3 when ready and not be stuck scared for 4 months lol

I just chipped my tooth on the keyboard! MMmmmmm!

Ya- I always wipe my machine down BEFORE and AFTER I use it. Perhaps people think that those 'cleaning stations' are only for decoration:huh:

What about seltzer? It's obviously an acquired taste but I've become addicted and it's so good! Carbonated water!! Drink away! :drinker:

I've been making these no bake energy bites for a while from a blog that I read. It literally takes about 3 minutes to throw together- let chill in fridge- roll into balls- snack away :o) They are DELICIOUS & nutritious! http://smashedpeasandcarrots.blogspot.com/2011/08/no-bake-energy-bites-recipe.html *I made them for a…

I was 20 hubby was 19 and we just celebrated our 8yr. anniversary :o) Got 2 boys and are happier than ever :o)

Why can you never hit a crow in the road? Cause there's always another one on the sidewalk saying 'Car! Car!' ...ok, ok that one sounds better when you're from Boston and tell it. Sounds more like 'Ca! Ca!' LOL

mg4: amanda bynes I thought I'd 'play' cause I was dying to know what people would say!! I'd take looking like those 2 ladies any day :o) <blush>

@sara Whitney Cummings??

BWAhhhhhHhaahaa!

FUNNIEST thing I've read all day! Hysterical! Oh- and I have 2 words: rubbish & crotch...grosssssss!!! (Not necessarily in the same sentence) lol

CHEESE-mini babybel cheese (individually packaged s good for snacking!) RICE- I like brown rice but you could even venture out and try quinoa (cooks the same as rice in rice cooker) I've recently tried it and LOVE it! Very versatile & most stores now carry it. Oh- or couscous is good too! BEANS- gotta love black beans! I…

B to the UMP!:drinker:

thanks girls!! I'll friend you :o)

My advice would be to fill your pantry and fridge with some low-calorie SATISFYING snacks. When I know that I can snack on SPECIAL K CRACKER CRISPS (which totally helps with the chip craving!), 100 CALORIE TORTILLA PIZZA (which takes care of the pizza craving), DARK CHOCOLATE BAR where I'm satisfied if I break off a little…

We use the LaTortilla Factory 100 cal wraps too and add sauce, cheese, & toppings and it totally satisfies my craving as well!!!

Thank you all so much for the awesome tips and advice!! It's just the push I needed!! Tomorrow I'm going to be serious about looking into times of classes!! :blushing: thanks!

I know- all my friends love zumba but I've always been a little embarrassed to take a 'dance' class lol. I suppose it's different when everyone else is doing the same moves though!!?!

I totally agree with this!! I can't tell the difference from water weight, etc. I'm way more motivated throughout the week looking forward to 'weigh-in day'

I saw a cute shirt with girly wings drawn on the back that said ' It's not sweat, it's pixie dust!' "No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everyone on the couch" "If it's worth having, it's worth working hard for" "Do it today or regret it tomorrow"

As a cake decorator- place it in the fridge (it'll be fine!) and take it out 3 hours before serving. If the condensation hasn't completely dried- take a blow dryer to it... on low. Happy Birthday to your son :happy:
