Peter and Greg Brady and Jack Tripper lol

^^^^^^ THIS! I kept my ex's last name due to my son. I remarried and now we both have my new husbands last name. When you marry and take on your husbands last name, it is legally YOUR name, so why change it? Personal pref I guess. But I kept mine for my son's sake.

I wonder if it would be beneficial to do another forum in the fitness forum and also the support forum? I'm jealous now :cry: no one lives where I do, lol I couldn't find ppl who live in Redding to start a meet up group to save my life. :tongue:

I don't live in Vegas (I live in NorCal) but was telling my friend, DesignGuy (who started this forum), that you all should organize a meet up group to go on hikes. My brother does these kinds of groups. I've seen pics and sometimes only a few (5) people show up to hike but other days you have as many as 20-50+ people…

Vegas hiking group!

Sounds like you've never owned a pair of Reefs :)

That's our older generation here on the west coast....

I've read articles written about (recent) stories in the south and it's hard to believe some of the things they still believe in and some of the things they do. I can't stand when southerners fly the confederate flag w/o the american flag next to it. Yes it was a part of their past but the only msg it's sending when not…

It's my understanding that 'bless your heart' is the same as us on the west coast saying "Maam".

Many are absolutely closed minded on all areas of race, lifestyles, etc.... That is my biggest issue.

Classy LMFAO = "until we believe you don't deserve it. Then, the guns come out. Because we do all have one.... All that being said, you have our respect until you abuse it, then we can whoop your *kitten*, gut you like a hog, and hide you in the swamp". I'll take Cali anytime over that classless act. Who says that stuff?…

Agreed " I think most southerners probably know well enough that most of the friendliness isn't really genuine friendliness. It's a learned behaviour that's simply part of social interaction in the south, and doesn't really convey anyone's true feelings one way or another". I've had run ins with southerners where I live in…

I work in CA for a major health insurance company and when we get calls from the East Coast I immediately get anxious knowing what's in store for me on the other end. THe majority (not all) of East coasters I speak to are rude, loud, inpatient and have a feeling of entitlement. THat is not something I experience from CA…

Yes, THAT ^^^^^^^^ We are also much less judgemental of others and their lifestyles. We accept darn near anything and everyone. Love thy neighbor :)

A friend and I were being silly and painted each others faces with finger paints (yes we're nearly 40 lol).

I didn't read what the others posted in response but after doing WW online and meetings I've found that this site is 100 times better because you KNOW what you are eating here. You can track important numbers like cholesterol, sodium, fat and sugar intake. for some of us those are crucial numbers. WW (in meetings…

I didn't read the entire thread here but bring your lunch/meals. make them the night before and you're set! if you cave and eat there, remember, their hot n ready pizza's are under 300 cal per slice if I remember correctly and you can always opt for a cheese pizza only. OR perhaps they will let you make something with a…

try using nutiva next time for the oil. smells and tastes great. Amazon sells them in 2 packs. I use one for my skin and one to cook with.

I think the brand of coconut oil makes a big difference. I use Nutiva organic coconut oil and it tastes just like coconut. SOme brands have no flavor. I put it on pasta with fresh sauteed garlic, salt and red pepper flakes. I add it to tea and the other day I put it on top of toaster waffles (like eggos) instead of butter…

My weight lost stopped completely. Look into calorie cycling. MFP sets us too low in my opinion on calories and I read that our bodies get use to functioning at lower calories after a while. cycling calories keeps your metabolism moving and your weekly calories will be the same. I've just started. this site will let you…

Isn't that how we got in trouble in the first place though? ^^^^^^^ If you're not hungry, don't eat. Listen to your body, indeed. I know people who stopped counting calories all together and are in fine shape. They lost a lot of weight and keep it off by only eating when they are hungry. If we eat back our exercice cals in…

The powdered PB is awful. IMO

HA! That's EXACTLY what Pinterest is, food porn. LOL

Here's another one. You have to scroll down a bit when you go to the site. I cut these much smaller for less calories. So fast and yummy. http://www.wwrecipes.net/pineapple-angel-food-cake.html

I LOVE pinterest!! My fav are microwave potato chips. You can cut the oil nearly to nothing and cut back calories/fat. I saw one that used no oil. I made mine extra spicy so I ate them less quickly. http://www.foodgal.com/2010/01/microwave-potato-chips-really/

Don't any of you worry about your cholesterol intake? 2 eggs puts us over our daily 'healthy' level. I'm too afraid to do it. My father died of a massive heart attack so I trie to watch my sodium and cholesterol as much as I can.

You shouldn't feel guilty, that's not fair to yourself. If we deprive ourselves of things we enjoy, we run the risk of quitting our weight loss journey. Everything in moderation and if we go over what is seen as moderation (and we will at times), well, then tomorrow is a new day and we can begin again knowing that we know…
