  • Billy Corgan, James Iha, Jimmy Chamberlain. But, I was at an autograph signing for Smashing Pumpkins, so it wasn't as if I didn't expect to see them :) Chuck Gaitica- Really only "famous" in Detroit area. He is the local weather man Chris Chelios- Hockey player My husband and I went to Cleveland, and when we were at the…
  • I clicked on this thread specifically to say Jello pudding pops, but you beat me to it. So, I will add Chocolate Kissel and the cookies with chocolate in the middle, I think they were called magic middles, but I'm not sure.
  • My last concert was Rod Stewart October 2013 at The Palace of Auburn Hills, in Michigan. I am going to see Tom Petty at Pine Knob in Michigan on August 24th. ETA: Whoops, it hasn't been called Pine Knob in many many years, but that is still how I refer to it, but it is actually DTE Energy Music Theater.
  • The app shows the breakdown of the percentage of calories from each macro that you have eaten so far that day. So if your goal is 1500 calories per day, having your fat goal set to 30%, your daily goal for fat would be to have 450 calories come from fat. If you have eaten 1000 calories so far that day, and 400 calories of…
  • I also jus started Stonglift 5x5. I love it. The app makes it easy to remember what I am supposed to be doing, and how much weight. Also, I didn't want something overly complicated, so Stronglifts was a good choice for me. As an aside, has anyone ever told you that you look like Starbuck from Battlestar Gallactica (the…
  • That is a good sad song, but I like the version by J Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers better than the Pearl Jam version.
  • I am going to be the Matron of honor at my friends wedding in September 2015. We are wearing Lehengas, which is similar to a Saree. Basically, parts of my tummy may show! I started doing Stronglift 5x5, mostly because I just wanted to start lifting, but an exposed stomach is extra motivation for me, especially as I have a…
  • Crestfallen by Smashing Pumpkins Cats in the Cradle by Cat Stevens Lover's Cross by Jim Croce My favorite song to sing when sad is Long Long Time by Linda Ronstadt, because you can really wail out your sorrows with that one!
  • At least you're honest :smile:
  • "Oh, no! Two women love me. They're both gorgeous and sexy. My wallet's too small for my fifties, and my diamond shoes are too tight!" Who can name where this came from?
  • Got it. Sorry my app wasn't that fancy :smile: I didn't know the fitbit did that.
  • It depends on what you are doing that makes your fitbit add those extra calories to MFP. I have a step counting app on my phone that synced to MFP. MFP kept giving me extra calories to eat because of the steps my app counted. BUT, it wasn't anything out of the ordinary that I was doing. Walking around my office, going to…
  • I am only two workouts into weight lifting, but already I love it more than any cardio I ever did. I look forward to the next workout as soon as I am done. Although this may change once my weights get heavier :) I am doing Stronglift 5x5.
  • I did my first workout today. I worked with a trainer a couple of days ago to get my form down. I was really excited to get started with this, but I had to wait until the trainer was available because I am super accident prone, so I didn't want to start without working with him first. And I must say, I loved it! I had more…
  • To teach him to go to the bathroom on his own, have you tried taking a warm wet towel and rubbing that area? Momma cats teach the babies to go by licking it, which stimulates them to go.
  • I'm a crazy cat lady. I only have one right now. I think I'm going to have to take her to the vet though, because she hasn't been eating :( Her name is Roxie, and she is a rescue cat. She was probably about 2 when I got her, so she's about 10 now. When I was a teenager, we had 24 cats at one point. Only 10 of them were our…
  • Mushrooms and tomatoes. I can eat salsa and marinara sauce, but if there are big chunks of tomato, I pick them out. I had a friend who couldn't eat anything that was white. So, no milk, but chocolate milk was ok.
  • I just went on this website, and entered my typical workout with my average heart rate. It said I burned a lot less than what the machine says I burn. So, I messed around with what I would burn at different weights. As I decreased weight, the supposed burn increased. Which is opposite of what I have always read, that as…
  • Sprinkle baby powder in them.
  • "You can't handle the truth! Son we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You Leiutenant Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury…
  • I love love Promise not to Tell! Her other books are good too, but that one is the best. I'm currently re-reading The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood.
  • I just remembered another great obscure film. Swimming with Sharks with Kevin Spacey, Michelle Forbes, and Frank Whaley!
  • I've seen it! Can't quote it though. My husband and his friend love movies like this, and whenever his friend is visiting, they always watch movies. So, they made me watch this one. I actually did like it. Now, Troll 2 (which they also made me watch) is a movie that, to me, is so bad it is still just bad (although they…
  • Average all of your calories out for the week. If you have to go out to lunch one day, and it puts you over on your calories, that will cancel out the day before or after where you didn't get to eat as much.
  • I haven't actually started yet, I am going to see a trainer in the next week or so to make sure I have proper form. But, I tried BW squats, and couldn't get parallel either. I read a couple of things online, and watched some videos, and decided that I had to turn my feet out slightly. If I have them facing forward, I can't…
  • Triple sec. 1.5 ounces has 188 calories. I was making margaritas, and they came out to 700 calories each! I used sweetened lime juice instead of margarita mix, thinking it wouldn't be as many calories. Well, I never checked the margarita mix for calories, so I don't know if it would have been more, but the sweetened lime…
  • When I was a kid, no one in my family, including myself, could wiggle their ears, except my grandpa. He died right before my 8th birthday. Ever since then, I have been able to wiggle my ears.
  • Your dinner sounds delicious! Her dinner sounds...eck. So, even if I were the type of person who would want a pig roast, she may not do a good job of roasting it. It may taste nasty, you never know. Your cupcakes sound amazing, and in the creative category, will beat her pig roast. Seriously, she is a chef, and the best…
  • Do you weigh yourself in the morning before eating or drinking anything?
