  • I agree with a lot of has been written so far .. without knowing exactly what you were eating while celebrating your hubbies return (congrats, btw), it's virtually impossible to give you an accurate answer. However, here are a few things I've learned in the many years I've been yo-yo-ing on the scale: Scales are funny…
  • I'm absolutely totally stoked about this!!! And since I have two copies of the series, I'll end up buying two copies, just so that they look complete (I have regular version & the special editions). This thrills me for two reasons --- one, that SM has been writing again (!!!!) and two, that she was obviously working on the…
  • Can I just say how I chuckled when I saw the first line of this thread is that you were inspired by the Twilight Eclipse challenge? :D And I'm in .. though I have to get back to you on my goals. I've fallen off the wagon (again - grrrr) and need to re-evaluate what's been working, what isn't working & create a workable…
  • Sign me up as well, if you don't mind! I am ashamed to admit that I've had the discs for well over a year, and have tried it on two occasions, but haven't been able to stick with it - but a lot of that is due to my overwhelming schedule at work, home, volunteering, etc. I would Really love to find a group for the support &…
  • There are a bunch of variations of this recipe that have been around for years (passed around a LOT at WW meetings) ... White cake w/ diet sprite Devils food cake w/ Diet cherry coke lemon cake with diet orange soda (never tried this one myself)... But its definitely a good alternative to the higher calorie version! Thanks…
  • Hello everyone!! Yes -- I'm actually still here! Sorry I haven't been around much the last few weeks. Sometimes real life is a real pain in the butt!! hahahaa I have so much to catch up on! The Eclipse trailer was awesome, but the info that was leaked off of the Walmart DVD (the two minute behind the scenes clip) was even…
  • TO clarify -- my pet peeve is in the complicated way that manufacturers label their products to make it hard to figure out what they're really saying ... not that someone misunderstood the labelling! Hope that wasn't misinterpreted!!
  • This is a HUGE pet peeve of mine -- but the issue here is that DD doesn't call it a "low fat blueberry muffin", its a "reduced fat" muffin. So what's the difference? To be labeled low fat, the item has to have less than 3 grams of fat. To be labeled reduced fat, it has to have 25% less than its original version. The…
  • Though I have to admit that Edy's Samoa Light ice cream isn't all that bad! Good thing I gave up sweets & fast food for lent .. no more cookies or ice cream for me!!
  • I hear you, and sympathize greatly. See -- I'm a troop leader, as well as our troop's cookie manager. I have about 50-80 cases of cookies in my house at any time! :laugh: :laugh: I concur with what others have said here .... supporting Girl Scouting is the primary goal, not to derail your healthy eating habits! Our troop…
  • I gave up sweets & fast food. Eating at McD's last night made me sick ... probably partly from the food & partly from inhaling it so quickly (I had a messed up schedule so didn't eat for about 7 hours - I was famished!!) As for the sweets, I use splenda in my coffee, and i will continue to do so, but I am eliminating all…
  • Thanks for the tip! I had forgotten that was there!!
  • I can't say for sure that I won't end this week without a gain (TOM arrived for me last night), but I can give you these tips that I try to stick to each month .... water water water -- helps with the changes in your body make up and helps to replace the fluid loss through menstruation & the end of the built up water…
  • Hi ladies .. Okay, I have to ask --- how long did it take before you were able to complete the workouts without feeling completely discombobulated & awkward & just plain out of breath? I have the Turbo Jam DVDs and have tried them before in the past, but I just can't seem to catch on to it in a comfortable manner. It all…
  • Good morning!! Could someone please find a way to add about 3 or so more hours to each day? Because maybe THEN I'd be able to get everything done!!! Pam -- Good luck with your surgery hon! I'll be thinking of you! I'm struggling this week .... a lot of pressure at home, work, extras (Girl Scouts, etc) is just pushing down…
  • Tearose -- while the trailer is interesting, this is NOT the official trailer (despite what that site says). For one thing -- Jacob in this trailer is portrayed by Steven Strait & the clips of him are from his film "The Covenant". Additionally, at least two shots of Bella are Kristen from other films. Summit Entertainment…
  • Hello fellow Twilight fans!! Looks like I have a lot to catch up on, huh? Busy busy busy weekend w/ the girls, which meant very little relax/computer time for mom. And it looks like it will be that way for most of the upcoming weekends with Girl Scout cookie booth sales, and other commitments taking up a lot of hours. I…
  • Each person's body is different ... you'll have that person who exercises a lot, doesn't eat those 'exercise calories' and loses a lot. Then you'll have a different person who exercises a lot, does eat the exercise calories & loses a lot. And all the various combos. There are many variables, but essentially, what works for…
  • Kid -- love the new Twilight images!! Aml -- good for you for trying to end the cycle! I am as well ... and it's so hard, as I feel i have already developed bad habits that my daughter has picked up on, but hopefully its not too late to reverse them! Sorry so short -- busy day at work! Talk to you all soon!! Much hugs!!
  • First -- bummer, I don't have Showtime. :( Second -- where did you hear that NM is being considered for an Oscar?!?! I hadn't heard that yet! I'd love to hear what category!!
  • Good morning!! Congrats to all the 'losers'! It's so great to see everyone doing so well! If we can all keep this momentum up, we'll all be so proud of ourselves come June!!! I jumped on the Wii today to do a body test and am very pleased with the results! Let's just hope they're still in that same direction by Monday!!…
  • Ack -- 3rd page? Whoops! Must keep a better eye on this thread! Yesterday was just too busy to check in here -- sorry!!! And today's not looking too much better! I'll be back a bit later to see how everyone's doing!!
  • Good morning girls! Kid, Mali & Wannabe -- congrats on the weight losses!! That's excellent news!!! I'm also down 2.3 from last week! Woo Hoo!! Wish I could chat more at the moment, but I have some things that have to be done here at the office ... talk to you soon though!! IC
  • I need to dust mine off & try to get back into them!! When I got Turbo Jam 2 years ago, I loved it, but I had such a hard time getting the choreography down! Then, once I did, I was enjoying it so much - and was seeing results. Then I got sick, life got hectic, I had to move, etc and here it is, two years later, all the…
  • Hello all!! Wow its been a ridiculously busy day!! I feel like I've been running non stop, but on the other hand, that doesn't feel so bad, either! :D Could it be because without all the junk in my body (sugar, white flour, etc), that my body actually has more energy? Wow what a concept! hahahaha Welcome to our newest…
  • Hey gals!! WOW has this been a busy week for me! I've missed checking in here the past few days! Welcome to all the newbies!! Look forward to getting to know you!! I've been sticking w/ this so far - only one day did I go over my points, but I still made good choices considering the alternatives, so I'm glad about that. I…
  • You can find instructions online that will help you determine your frame size. I wondered this about myself not too long ago, so I went to a few different sites to try different methods - just to get an average consensus. Here's are two that I've used : http://www.ehow.com/how_2346297_determine-body-frame-size.html…
  • Good morning ladies!! I hope you all had a wonderful day yesterday and are still motivated this morning! I actually was able to squeeze in 30 minutes on the Wii last night -- which almost NEVER happens! It's not a ton of exercise, but it was 150 calories I wouldn't have burned otherwise! :D Welcome to our newest…
  • Actually, be careful of those sort of postings. Summit Entertainment has made no official announcement about the status of "Breaking Dawn", nor have they contracted with either of the casting agencies they have used for the Twilight Saga. With each movie, there have been 'casting updates' online from websites that have…
  • Talkative is good!!! :) (As you can see from MY posts!!) And I'm still getting used to some of the new changes here on the forums!! I never participated in them previously as I found them to be difficult to navigate, but I'm liking the new style!! Glad that you've all found the thread & are signing on! I'm "friending"…
