  • I've been fluctuating between 143 and 157 for quite some time now. Nobody has noticed a thing. Personally, if I notice that someone looks like they've lost weight, I don't like saying, "Hey, you've lost weight, you look great!" (Someone took this as 'You didn't look good with the pounds on' -so whatever) Instead, I say,…
  • I'm not up as nearly as early as you. I get up just before 6, feed my kids and send them off to school. If I go to the gym, I usually end up there by about 7:30. Since I have blood sugar issues, I HAVE to eat before a work out. My favorite is 1/2 cup of multigrain cheerios and 1/4 cup of almonds. I also like a piece of…
  • My girls are older -16 and 12- and it gets so hard finding time for a work out, let alone having to eat well. I've been yo-yoing for the past few months and am just getting into a slump. It's been so frustrating for me. The first thing I know to do is just toss out all the junk food. I absolutely despise having to waste…
  • Anything that is greasy and/or fried. Hamburgers and McDonalds fries are terrible for you before bed. My favorite bedtime snack is popcorn. It's never hindered with my sleep, and it's light on my tummy. ~
  • OK, thanks y'all for replying so quickly! It's just a part I don't particularly like -especially when I attempt to wear skinny jeans. Still plan on moving along!! :flowerforyou:
  • My top 5 for this week: Blue Skies, by Blue October Under Pressure, by Queen I Feel Free, by Cream Girl on Fire, by Alicia Keys Zoot Suit Riot, by Cherry Poppin' Daddies Who knows what next week will bring!
  • I have to agree with you on this. Personally, I really don't hang with girls, as most are so busy looking pretty, buying the best heels and handbag, and bashing each other behind their backs. I think girls do this because they are selfish (everything's about me, me ME) and possibly even more insecure than they'd like to…
  • I LOVE that you love New Kids!!! Not sure about their new stuff, but I still listen to a few "oldies" now and then ;) ~M~
  • Well, I am a very moody person, and have eclectic tastes in music. Chilling around the house: Rosemary Clooney, Ferras, Enya, Leona Lewis, John Coltrane, Leonard Cohen, Marketa Irglova, Espen LInd...(I could go on and on) If I want to Boogie or get pumped up: Linkin Park, Pink, Aerosmith, Green Day, Say Anything, The…
  • This should be fun and interesting to play... I'm thinking a Cranberries song for some reason. Dreams! ~M~
  • When I was younger, I saw Annie. My dad somehow knew the producers of the show, and got us tickets to the after-hours party. I got my playbill signed by almost all the actors, it was soooo cool. I've been to a few concerts and symphonies. I think my favorite was Boston opening up for Styx. This was about 3 or 4 summers…
  • You know, I love Muse, but only know a few of their songs. Am listening to "Survival" now on my youtube, and am Loving It!! Wow! I do hear some Freddie in there. Definitely gotta get that album now. I'll be back with some suggestions for others to try out. ~M~
  • Coffee (of course), and a home made breakfast burrito!! 2 eggs, scrambled 2 slices jenni o turkey bacon sliced roma tomato 1/2 avocado, sliced 1 tbsp. hummus wrapped in la banderita low carb soft tortilla
  • I don't have an album that gets me going from beginning to end. None that come to mind anyway. For cardio, I have to have a mix of things, it helps keep me focused easier. I need something fast paced and intense from beginning to end, without it sounding like the same song over and over again.
  • That really sounds fun. In my High School Theory class, we all had to write our own piece, and it had to fill up a whole 3 minutes!! It was worth three grades, and I received all three A's. I used to always scribble notes on a page, knowing what they sound like in my head. Wish I had the time to sit and write again, I do…
  • I have quite an eclectic taste in music. Was in marching band and jazz band for several years. I play a few instruments. Some of my all-time favorites are: John Coltrane Linkin Park Sarah McLaughlin (ahh, such a beautiful voice) Espin Lind Bob Dylan Marilyn Manson The Rolling Stones (who DOESN'T like them??) Concrete…
  • What is "bump"? I see it a lot here on the forums.
  • 2/3 cup of Multi-grain Cheerios (dry) -I put some in a baggie and can munch on it pretty quickly while I walk around the house and get things done. I buy the baby carrots that come in small mini-bags. Usually about 15-20 carrots per bag. I open up some hummus (great for protein) and dip my carrots (or any other chopped…
  • Dude, that's so awesome!!
  • OMG, I would totally go to Laser Tag with y'all!! Also, try outside Paintball. I'm such a wussy, but I've heard from others how much fun it is.

  • 15 Pounds is Awesome!! Congrats to you!
  • Go back through your settings and see if you can get it to re-figure your calorie count. Being as small as you are, you should be eating at LEAST 1400-1600 calories a day.
  • On the far right side next to each food you eat is a red dot with a white line in the middle of it. Click that and it deletes the food you want off your food journal.
  • Hello to you too!! I've been on and off for a little over a year now. I've been (back) on since July 10th and have lost 6 pounds -WooHoo!! Go me!! And you and your 15 pounds -WooHoo!! Go You!! Welcome back!
  • There's groups on here??? How do you join?
  • Yep, I've been on and off of here for at least a year or so. This is such a great app, and easy to use. I suffer from depression, too, and can easily get sidetracked from what's good for me. I'm back on, and have been back on for a few weeks now. My weight got to even MORE than my original mfp weight... so it's not showing…
  • Yikes, hope you get that checked out. And I hope you get to feeling better.
  • The thought of food makes me nauseous in the mornings. I usually drink coffee for a couple of hours. If I know I have to do my exercising in the mornings, I'll gnaw down a few Cheerios. Otherwise, I'm more of a brunch time of person, after 10 am. It works for me.
  • It's my maiden last name spelled backwards, and the year I was born.
