I do a sort of greek gyro salad: Romaine lettuce Chopped Tomatoes Tzatziki (Greek Yogurt, shredded cucumber, dill, garlic... there are many different recipes for it, but that's what I use) Grilled chicken Shredded cheese (just about any cheese would be good) It's simple, and super low cal. I make it without the cheese…

That is a HUGE victory. Good job, sir.. and keep at it.

I use real sugar.. Only a small tsp of it, though. I grind my coffee fresh at home. It tastes way better than the pre-ground crud.

Fridays always drag. Only one more hour left for me, though! You poor, poor man. That must have been horrible for you.

Normally, when you have to ask someone "should I see a doctor?" it means that you should.

My grandpa got into it a few years back.. gained back every pound once he stopped using it.

8 kids? You must be one tough lady!

Oh god this made me laugh so hard I nearly peed. :laugh:

You made me laugh. But you're old. Sorry. We can't be friends.

50 is the new 20, didn't you get the memo?

You made me snort my ice water.

I'm 25 and I've been told I act like I'm at LEAST 25 1/2. I'm mature, damnit.

Sometimes people like having friends going through the same things they are. College kids want to be friends with other college kids (as it can be hard to diet/exercise while attending school). Moms want to be friends with other moms (so they can discuss the best way to get a workout in while watching their kids). Maybe…

I sayyy.. LET THEM EAT CAKE! But, seriously.. As someone before me said: Not every day is like this. Indulge a little, without going crazy. Get back on track the next day. It won't kill ya.

Someone will have to check my math.. But I got 3 3/4mph.

First rule of Zombieland: Cardio. I have some friends training for the zombie run. They're not marathon people, but they're working up to it with C25K.

^This. At least you're working to fix your problem. Looks like they're celebrating theirs. Good work on your exercise. Your kid has a mom he can be proud of.

Congrats! That is a huge accomplishment, and you have a lot to be proud of!

Welcome to MFP! Feel free to add me. :)

Throwing my agreement onto the pile.. I gained something like 2-3lbs during shark week. Dropped it all (plus extra) back off a few days after.

Go tell him exactly what you told us. Communication is key in any healthy relationship. Let him know how you're feeling. Tell him you feel like you're drifting apart, but assure him that you want to fix it. Keep on with your weight loss, it should inspire him.

I e-filed literally the DAY they started accepting them. I think it was about a week before I got my refund.

To elaborate on the above post... C25k is a running program that slowly amps up the amount you run, so that in about 8 weeks time you should be able to run a 5k. It works by the method of interval training.. where you walk for a bit, then run for a short stretch, rinse and repeat. You can get C25k apps on your smartphone,…

"1200" I think that would do it. Or something along the lines of: "This is what you're doing and why I think it's wrong."

I haven't taken contraception in years, but when I got off the shot it took a few months for my period to return to some form of normalcy. I can't recall any constipation, though.

Homemade chili that my hubby made, with a sprinkle of cheese!

For the person who mentioned pickls/cream cheese/sliced beef - LOVE THOSE! Mum made them as a treat.. slice them into little disks. Call them pickle wraps. :) Thought of another one: We always eat plain ruffles with cottage cheese for dip. OMG yum. :D

My mom used to make us rice with butter and cinnamon/sugar for a treat when we were strapped for cash.. it's awesome!

If you're trying to tell me that the veggie salad I buy at subway (with light dressing) is just as bad for me as a big mac.. You can move on down the road. Is it better than what I'd make at home? No. But when I'm rushed and need something fast and easy.. At least I can choose healthy options at subway.

For a long time I know she wasn't just counting on the surgery. She worked out pretty hard. It's a challenge for us all. I can't, in good conscience, insult someone who's struggling.
