Wow...that wasn't condescending. *sarcasm*

I wonder how the dough tastes... :) These have made it into my recipe book! I cannot wait to try them!

Tejas, baby! I'm in Garland - part of Dallas.

"I'm cracking up at some of the posts here. People bragging that they have a mortgage of $550/month because they have a 700sqft house in a bad neighborhood. OK, that's fine if you are just starting out but that's still ridiculously high. " I was not 'bragging." I was stating a fact. And if you think that amount is "high,"…

I don't think anybody ever said anything about "live in" personnel or full time. I know I said I'd like to have some meals prepared for me.

Um...no...this is supposed to be your own earnings. Maybe a business or so, but mostly passive earnings.

Yes, cost of living does have an affect. I, the original poster, would live well off this money. I've also trained myself to live off of less. For example, I do have a mortgage. Mine is $550 per month. Yes, five hundred fifty dollars. However, the trade off for such a small mortgage is a small house (700 sq. ft) in a…

I'm right there with you.

I like stairs, too.

That's adorable. I really wouldn't live large, either. It may sound like it, wanting my own island and all, but that'd be a long term goal achieved by saving. I'd also like to point out that I don't have kids or a spouse. I'm a singly 24 year old woman, so I'd live like such. Also, I make very little money right now as it…

I forgot to reply that I'd go to university and finish my BA/BS degrees. As for helping people - I totally would, too. I like the undercover helping idea. It sounds like something I would do.

I will eat/drink and not even realize it. For example, if I have a cup in front of me, and I'm at the computer, I will drink and not even think about it until the cup is empty. Even then I'll repeat the cycle and still be shocked that nothing is in the cup! lol So, to alleviate boredom eating, I use water. I get really…

Thankfully, this guy was only there to register for a race we're having tomorrow. (I work at a community center gym.) I'm glad he's not a member, so I don't have to see him again. (I hope.) As for punching and yelling "bad touch," I wish.

I was too stunned. Plus, I was at work. He's European, I think. I don't mean that as an excuse, but I don't think he understood what is and what isn't okay. By that point in our 5 minute conversation he'd already started touching my hands and kissed the back of one. I was already getting creeped on and then that happened.…

AWESOME! :smile:

I don't chew gum. i used to specifically to burn some calories and to (hopefully) work my face/jaw muscles to tighten up so I don't have a double chin. I have logged tums before. lol

^bump^

Can we make a group on this? I'm 5'3.5" and today I weighed in at 188. According to that I'm not above 190, but I was 3 days ago! Lol. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I remember being 102 5th grade and feeling fat. I wish I had known then I'd still be the same height 12 years later! I also started in…

Muscle weighs more than fat. It's possible that you've lost fat and gained muscle. That will not show on a scale. Also, you need to properly nourish your body, keep your calories consistent. If you fluctuate your caloric intake and your eating times, your body will hold onto your fat and not let you lose it. As for losing…

Keep up with the cardio, though. Many people forget/neglect cardio when they do weights. I work in a gym, so I hear all kinds of stuff. The better the cardio, the stronger your heart. The stronger your heart, the better you'll be. I enjoy rowing. If your gym has a Concept2 rower, I'd recommend using it. It's great cardio,…
