Dude! your wife can read this? and you tell us she weighs more than you, AND you tell us she's going through menopause???? Are you TRYING to get divorced? or murdered?

read this as "scotch" the first time :noway: and thought, well NO WONDER your eyes roll in the back of your head! lol

When my son turned 1 I made a carrot cake from scratch so I could control the ingredients and make sure they were organic, etc. I also added applesauce and carrot puree to make it more moist and reduced the fat. but that was when he turned 1. when he turned 2 I also made the cake...but I wasn't so obsessed with reducing…

my kids. I don't want to be a fat momma. and i want/need to be able to run around with them, get on the floor & play and be able to jump up and run after the 2 year old before he gets the knife drawer open!

I really wish MFP had a "like" button!

We went to Orlando (on vacation to mouseland) we went shopping in a grocery store called Publix. The store's premium line had one called chocolate trinity. we had to go back the next day and buy more. OH MA GA! I briefly considered moving to Orlando.

First, so sorry for your loss. Miscarriage is a horrible thing to experience. Second, I agree with the other posters - that doc is a jerk beyond proportions not to mention giving you advice that isn't medically sound. I think of doctors like house painters - if you don't like the job they do, or if they are good but a…

I have a 7 week old and a 2 1/2 year old. TELL ME ABOUT wanting to drink! yeeshe. I don't because I'm afraid I'd pass out after only one (because I'm so darn tired) and then everything would descend into chaos. ok, more chaos then we already have. It's funny, once I had a child I thought, now what was my excuse for never…

One day at a time. I think sometimes we get caught up in thinking about these big generalizations: I have to lose weight. I need to eat healthy. I should exercise more. And we end up doing NOTHING (or the oposite) because it all seems so daunting. Some people can do it - they can jump in with both feet and I applaud them.…

Ditto This!! IF the doc says something needs to be done then approach it like, as a family you all want to be healthier - do it as a group thing otherwise all she is going to hear are the words "I am fat" repeating in her head.

ok...I AM that kind of girl...but now I think I'm in love with Stanley...I'm so confused!!!!!!!!!!!

ok the feet turning purple thing made me post to this. I offer this story as maybe something you can share with your husband. My father was diabetic. at the age of about 42 he had issues with his feet - some discoloration and numbness. He ignored it for awhile. On a routine checkup (which he only made to keep his insulin…

Hi Kathy! You can do this - I've recently re-energized myself and I'm getting back on track after a lazy summer! It's all about attitude and consistency.

EXACTLY! so hard to "get back on the horse!" for the past 6 weeks I haven't logged as consistently, haven't worked out as consistently and it's like I'm 2 people - the smart one and the fat one. the smart one says, "get up, work out, don't eat that" but the fat one keeps saying, "oh you've been doing so well just let…

Mute as in, "the point is mute" NOOOOOOOO if the point was mute we wouldn't have heard it!!!!!!!!!!! drives me nuts. boy I didn't realize people had such a problem with moist.

I have lost about 30 pounds since having my hysto on July 8. I put off the surgery for years because I was afraid of side effects, etc. etc. but I have never been happier. I am pain free for the first time in years. I don't even know if there is ibuprofen in the house and before I wouldn't have been able to exist without…

I know you're not supposed to care about the number but I sure do! breaking 200 was a huge milestone for me. I actually got there in 2009 but I think I allowed myself to feel like I had made it and therefore it was ok to indulge a little so I went back up to 221.5 (this summer). yuck. I am now at 195.9 and this time I'm…

My partner works with developmentally disabled adults. Sometimes they can say things that are inappropriate. One day, one of her clients kept saying, "hairy bottom old penis" over and over. He was very excited that he was going to see a movie that night, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix!

Tea Bagging. Funniest. Story. EVER! people at work think I'm crazy for laughing uncontrollably for seemingly no reason.

whole chicken in the crock pot. I have a huge one so I use a roaster chicken which is nice because it has a little pop-up hoogie to tell you when it's done. I chop an onion, maybe some potato, put it in the bottom, chicken on top, 1/4 cup (that's really all you need) of water and cook it on low for like 6 - 8 hours. makes…

Thank you all for participating in this round of carnivore vs. vegan! It's been a healthy match with moments of intensity that have kept the rest of us on the edge of our seats. Unfortunately there was no clear winner in this round. Round 2 will be called, "whole wheat cookies, to egg or not to egg?" Stay tuned next week…

SO many wonderful things to do in DC! You can walk to just about everything and the metro is very easy to use. I am a Maryland resident but have spent quite a lot of time in DC. Do yourself a favor and go through some neighborhoods like Adams Morgan - where there are tons of "ethnic" restaurants to choose from, or…

I'm new to the group too (but been on MFP for awhile). I started MFP over 2 years ago - got myself into much better shape and then...along came a baby. And I gained it all back. Yes I'm 41 and I have a 21 month old. Lord help me. I would love to say I'm trying to lose the baby weight but since I adopted I don't think I can…

It's happening everywhere not just clothes. been to a hospital lately? take a look at the wheelchairs...most are "oversized" or heavy duty so that larger patients can be accomodated.

oh heck yeah it sucks. But you're not alone. Today I am wearing a black dress that I haven't worn in 2 years. I lost and then gained it all back and now I'm back on track again. The thing that I've come to accept this time around, is that I have to do this forever. I have to log my foods, count my calories and exercise…

I LOVE to make homemade soup. I also love to be able to grab a can of a good tasting soup and take it to work knowing I'll have something I like and it's quick AND since I'm usually running late it doesn't require any thought to put my lunch together. I really like campbells vegetable and barley soup (talk about your salty…

If you want it saucy why not make a sorta-gravy? I like to saute mushrooms and onion and then add a little broth and cornstarch - makes a nice sauce for chicken and rice.

Endo is a PITA! I have suffered for 12+ years. I did bc continuously for several years, I had 2 surgeries to remove large endometriomas, one where they also removed one of my ovaries which was completely pulverized. Then I had laparoscopy to remove all of the endometriosis tissue. Then this past summer I finally consented…

apple butter is WONDERFUL on pancakes. - you have to give it a try!
