Hey, thank you so much for the detailed responses! I went in to tweak my current weight to bring it up to date and the system reset all of my goals/macros. Argh! I'll avoid those Atkins bars except in extreme emergencies. I didn't get any cravings from it, but it threw off my numbers. I'll up the sodium and keep watching…

I'm sorry - that's really weird. I checked and it's set to public...(?) I toggled it and toggled it back again. Maybe that will fix it. I currently have them set for 5% carbs/15% protein/80% fat, but maybe that's too high. My cals are also set to 1500 but that's what I had figured previously from my TDEE to eat at a…

- The Original New York Seltzer - Peach Flavored Hi-C - 'Tato skins potato chips - Coke in glass bottles (I stockpile the tiny ones that come out at Christmas time) - Burger King's Burger Bundles (Can you tell I was a child of the 80s??)

Haha, thanks! I don't know if I'm tough enough for regular derby either. That's why I'm 38 and it's still on my bucket list! I don't mind getting bruised up, I just don't know if I'm aggressive enough to be an asset to a team. I found out about Roller Derby Lite in the checkout line of the grocery store where my 9 year old…

Three words: Brine, Brine, Brine. You won't regret it!

I started running last April @ 182 pounds. I'm 38. It can be done! Try the Couch to 5k app on your phone (any will do), it's a very easy way to get your body used to running gradually. Go for it!

LOL - that's my ringtone! I always hope it's not really a phone call but the TARDIS showing up nearby...

I'm excited to see it, loved the book. And I'm also excited about Harrison Ford and Ben Kingsley. I was surprised to see a trailer for it when we took the kids to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 last weekend. That has me thinking perhaps I could bring them (ages 9 and 7). Most of what I found disturbing in the book…

Hi! If you'd like, come on over and join our October group here:> http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/51218-chalean-extreme-october-2013 A bunch of us just started on Monday/Tuesday this week. I think we have a mix of first timers and second rounders. I'm just starting my second round, having finished the first just a…

Wow, this is really great information - thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. I've got the article up to read after I post here. It's almost worse to start to understand how calorie expenditure/fat burn works, as now I'm prone to question blanket statements (i.e., muscle burns fat!) and I now need to get down to what…

Sounds delish!

You can also put a chicken carcass in the slow cooker at bedtime with some water, cut up veggies (carrots, celery, onion) on low, strain it in the morning and have instant homemade stock. Couldn't be easier!

For healthy, I always go to Skinnytaste.com - Gina's recipes always turn out great! I find it hard to go healthy AND frugal (ie, avoid the condensed cream soups and seasoning packets). I usually buy chicken in bulk and freeze 2 breasts per bag for whatever crock pot dish I'm making. Usually you can just shred the chicken…

Usually in the packet plain. With some celery salt if I have it in my work bag. It's a very quick, low fat, low cal way to grab 17g of protein. I keep a few packets in my desk.

You know.... we haven't watched Torchwood yet. I know! I know! Mostly because it's one of those shows we need to watch after the kids go to bed, and being the Doctor Who fanatics that they are, they want to watch it too and don't get that it's not kid-friendly. I do love me some Captain Jack though, so it is on my list!…

My girls, for some reason (probably my own fault) are really into weird stuff, so thankfully DW has never bothered any of them. My 9 year old thought for sure she was going to be afraid of the Adipose until she saw the episode, now she wants the plushie to sleep with. They've always been really into Tim Burton stuff - my…

It's so ridiculous, certainly not something we have $$ for - flying from Central NY to London for a 4 day weekend! But talk about once in a lifetime. The tickets to the event itself are very reasonable. My daughters are already griping about being left behind, but with airfare at $950/ticket, well, they're SOL on this one…

High Five for both of us being on the same wavelength! :laugh:

The knight built up his immunity to Iocane Powder?

I hear you on the loud kids. Luckily when it comes to DW they are pretty quiet as they are both very into it as well. My 6 year old is manic. She saw a commerical for Broadchurch on TV, froze in place and said, "WOAH. That guy looks JUST like David Tennant." Which I thought was hysterical for a 6 year old. And then I had…

I love hearing his accent as well. We have to turn on closed captioning when we watch it. It look us about 3 episodes to figure out his character's name and his partner's name, so that's when we knew it was time to turn on the CC!

I love this thread. I am no expert even remotely in Indian cooking, as there only about 3 that I make (basic curry, dal and saag paneer). I don't suppose there is a healthy way to make saag paneer? Probably not, since the cheese is the best part! I don't want to hijack, but if anyone has a recipe for coconut soup, please…

I think start days will probably be staggered because everyone has their own preference for a resting day. I rest on Sundays and like to save Saturdays for a long walk or run. So I'll start CLX on 9/30 since I'll do the circuits on Mon-Weds-Fri. Thanks for creating the group! Edited to add - it looks like you added a…

I'm going to be the dissenting voice. I do not like Honey Crisp apples. I don't typically care for sweet apples though. Give me something a bit more tart and crunchy any day. As someone who lives in NY's apple country, I'll take a McIntosh or a Jona-Mac. Jona-Macs are the BEST, but not always easy to find at grocery…

Well, I'm definitely going to do it. I've been on the fence for a few days. I'll be starting Round 2 on Sept 30. I did not do the cardio dvd's last time, so I'm going to give them a whirl next week for the first time. Will probably sub out sometimes for running & walking too. Is there actually a separate group for us…

It was on BBC back in the Spring, I believe. It started here on BBC-A in August. 8 episodes. It's kind of like Twin Peaks in basic story premise, but without all the David Lynch weirdness. A 12 year old boy is found dead in a small coastal town, David Tennant plays the Detective Inspector. Arthur Darvill is also on - he…

I had the most delicious dream about David Tennant (as the Doctor of course) last night. I blame all the Broadchurch episodes (is anyone else watching it? It's excellent.). Or just the fact that the man is beautiful. I've come back to this thread looking for the fabulous "Oh yes!" gif. It needs to be on my Tumblr. STAT.

Hmmm. I might. I just finished the program today. Trying to decide if I want to go another round with Chalene or move on to the barbell/weight bench. Our weight bench is old and we need to clean it and the weights up as well as find someplace to put it if I want to use it though! I'm going to take a week off from weights…

Okay (a) Robin Hood is adorable and totally crushable. And (b) He isn't a cartoon animal, but I would be remiss if I did not admit to Howl from Howl's Moving Castle. :love:

Gah, high school sucked so bad. 20 years and I still have clear memories of how sucktacular it was. I'm going to go with the "nobody/outcast" group. I had a few friends, we were weird. Didn't really have any other friends, not sure if people didn't like me or if I didn't give them the chance to decide whether they liked me…
