The yellow lab we just lost was Sila Buttercup. We're currently pending adoption on a rescued Bouvier with a big beard, so we shall be naming her Fu (as in Fu Man Chu or "whatcha talkin' about, Foo?").

I have so many that I may seem psychopathic if I list them all so I will just post my top 3. 1. Victims - people who's life circumstances are everyone else's fault but their own "I can't succeed/study/lose weight/raise my kids properly/stop drinking/get a life because (fill in the blank) screwed me up!". Get over yourself…

You must be so proud of yourself - and think of the example you are setting for your kids! Thank you for inspiring us all.

Great job! You have definitely earned every single pound!

Please do NOT waste your time. My book club picked it, otherwise I'd never look at it twice but trust me, there is better porn out there :) If, conversely, you are looking for a good book, let me suggest "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein. That book was worth the time!

We just lost our almost 16 year old yellow lab, Sila. Miss her so much, but we will get a dog again one day. A house is just not a home without a dog around :)

34 when I had my first and 36 for my second. For me it was the right choice, Out of my son's kindergarten class, I'm a few years older on average than most of the moms, but I don't really care. I keep hearing that a lot depends on the area you're born and raised in. I find that to be very true where I live. I grew up in a…

I used to work at a Starbuck's where they also tossed perfectly fine food. It would drive me mad that they said they couldn't donate it because of "liability" issues. A co-worker of mine used to take it home with him and leave them by the dumpsters in his downtown neighbourhood where he regularly saw homeless people. I…

B.C. girl. Born and raised in Vancouver but now living in a close suburb.

Definitely. I've often been known to joke that whomever said that nothing tastes as good as skinny feels has obviously never eaten Nutella straight out of the jar :)

When I was pregnant I would regularly eat an entire loaf of French bread with a package of Boursin cheese. I wonder how I gained 70 pounds in that nine months? :0 More recently, I could seriously eat an entire bag of Fudgeeos or a small bottle of nutella over the course of one day. Now that I know that one tbsp. of Nutella…

I initially lost 25 pounds on WW in 2005. In 2007, after having my son, I lost 80 pounds and was skinnier than I ever have been. But, after having my second child in 2008 I went back and the system had changed. I consequently have been battling the same 25 pounds for the last three years. I find MFP very refershing, not…

Thank you!

Yes, please on the lentil soup recipe! I have a mung bean in coconut curry recipe that I've made so many times that my whole family might kill me if I make it again, better expand my repetoire :)

I cannot wait to make this, I love Indian! Do you think it would taste good with lentils or chickpeas as well?

As a woman and a feminist, I think the whole working mom vs. stay at home mentality needs to stop. How can we possibly get ahead as a sex if there is so much infighting? Why can't we just support each individuals choice and work as a team to get ahead? It maddens me no end. Having said that, I've been on both sides of this…

Our first dance was to "In my life" by the Beatles. Still makes me weepy....

My son, when he was three after my husband asked what his grandma would say about the mess he made in her room: " She'll probably stop and say 'What the hell happened in here?'"

I'm 5'5 and a half, would ideally like to get to about 155 or so. Currently at about 176. Three time weight watchers drop-out (I did lose 75 pounds on it after having my first child, though!) and I'm hoping this will keep me motivated. So far, letting my friends have access to my food diary has definitely kept me honest.…

Thank you for being such an inspiration! I will look at your pics every time I feel like going to the cupboard!
