It is a pic of me out with friends for the first time as a newlywed...my shirt says "I Love My Hubby". While that was a fun night, I realized at that time that I needed to get my weight under control because I did not like the way I looked in any of the pics from that night. This was the week after I came back from my…

Here is one from Self Magazine...only 400 calories: http://www.self.com/fooddiet/recipes/2011/09/black-bean-corn-burger I know you said veggie burger but just in case you eat meat here are a list of other low cal optins like tuna, chicken, etc...for burgers:…

I love MFPs who have a sense of humor!!!!!

Oh...well in that case...hardwood floors!!! At first I wasn't sure about the idea of getting rid of my carpet. But, now that it's gone. I love it!

Laughing hysterically!!!!

When I first saw this I was like wait a minute...is this about pubic hair? ie hardwood...a complete wax/shave and carpet...unshaven Okay, now that my mind is out of the gutter. I actually prefer hardwood on the floors that are most commonly used like the foyer and the kitchen and the hallways. I prefer carpet in the…

Feel free to add me!

the trapezius muscles

Yup...that too!!!

If it bothers you then you could always restrict your friends to those who choose to keep their diaries open. I have a combination of friends with open and closed diaries. Doesn't matter to me either way what they choose, but I do find that the people who tend to lose the most weight are one with open diaries. These people…

Just let it go. It's over between you and him so no need to concern yourself with the past. Don't become a part of this Facebook situation. Let them handle it like children and you be the adult!

Man of his word (I know that is more than 1 word, but this is why our relationship has worked all these years)

Jocelyn - 30 1. My favorite movie is Fools Rush In. 2. I am terrified of birds and insects that fly...including butterflies. 3. I don't have a single clue what I want to do with my life professionally even though I'm defending my PhD in Cell and Molecular Biology in June of this year. 4. I don't eat when I'm stressed. 5. I…

Great job!

Hey guys! I'm in the process of finishing my PhD in Cell and Molecular Biology. Feel free to add me as a friend. I defend on June 20th. Woo Hoo!!! The stress of finishing is doing it's best to drive me to stress eating, but I've recently started seeing a dietitian so I'm happy to share tips that she gives me with all of…

I'm going to add you as a friend. I'm currently finishing my PhD and am also a stress eater. Let's motivate one another.

Are you drinking because you are thirsty or because you are trying to satisfy a specific number or something else? I'm asking because excessive thirst can be a sign of diabetes. See your doctor.

My motivation is being able to wear the clothing that I like, but that don't flatter me right now...like shorts. I also want to get in great shape because I'm not a mother yet, but we're planning to start trying in the fall. I want to be able to have a healthy pregnancy and bounce back after the baby.

You look fantastic! Way to go!!!

Shorts. Right now I'm not loving how my legs look, but they are on their way to a more lean, but toned look.

Whether or not this taste like Snicker's bar is a matter of personal opinion. I disagree, but I must say for a protein bar it is one of the more tasty one's I've tried. My concern with most bars is that while the protein is high...so is the sugar usually. This one above however is probably the best you're gonna get.

I learned that my current city, Houston, TX finally made it's way off of the top 10 fattest cities in the US, but my hometown, Charleston, WV is number 6.

I'll be your friend. I'm seeing a dietitian and I keep my food diary open for all to see so you can get some pointers there.

When I started reading this I was like, "Huh...what?" LOL! Very cute. I wish it really did work that way.

Well thanks so much. LOL! :)

I love doing cardio and absolutely hate weights. I think though that the key is balance. Right now I tend to do more cardio than weights, but I'm planning to slowly start working weights back into my exercise. Really, you need both.

I think you've done an awesome job so far. You may want to add some weight lifting to your workout to help burn fat and tone muscles. Also, you may want to think about making your food diary public. There are tons of dietitians on this site who may be able to give you some pointers. I'm seeing one now and I didn't realize…

Well if you're obsessed then I'm obsessed too. Really though, don't think of it as an obsession, think of it as being proactive. I like to plan my meals so that I can say within 300 calories per main meal and have 3 snacks totally 500 calories throughout the day for a total of 1400 calories. Planning out your meals, the…

I love this!!! Me too!!!

I am 30 years old and slightly freaked out by clowns. It all started when I was little and I sneaked into the living room to watch TV while my mom was asleep. I ended up watching Alien Killer Clowns from Outer Space (I think that's what it's called) and I've never been the same. That same summer we went to the circus and…
