I don't think I would mind if it had been cold and snowing this whole time. Of course, yes, I'd be pissed that it's snowing in May...but we've had a few days of almost 70 and I want that so bad! Driving around with my moon roof open...LOVE IT. We have a wood stove for our main source of heat, and a month or two ago we were…

I honestly have no idea...BUT my guess would be... Our body goes into Starvation mode after a certain point, where it holds onto everything it can. Eventually(like in the case of eating disorders), your body NEEDS something to keep living, so it starts "eating itself" and taking in everything it can that your body has…

Start trying to make a baby! Seems a little odd, I know. But I promised my husband that when I reach 150 we can start. I might go for lower, and depending on our situation(housing, money, etc) we might wait. But for now, that's the goal.

"Singin' in the Rain" on A Clockwork Orange...every time I hear/think of that song now...oh boy.

LOL very true...minus the fact that we got 1/2 a foot of snow so won't be able to try for a while again.

I can't help you get over the habit...as I have one just as bad. BUT...I use sugar free creamers/cream. Coffee in itself isn't too bad...so personally, I'm trying to cut my additives out. For example...I was using 1 1/2 Tbl with my 12oz of coffee. Now I've cut down to 1 Tbl with my 12oz. In a week or so, I'm going to cut…

I know there are a lot of things I have no control over, and I do accept that. The major issue though, is that a lot of things also rest in my hands. If things don't go a certain way, I'm the first person to be blamed, and as I'm sure your wife can tell you, working with peoples lives, you can't make mistakes. Very…

I am currently trying to find a new job, but until then...I'm stuck. And I've been trying to find a new job for the last few years. I've been with the company for 5 1/2 years and have been trying to get out for 3...that's how crappy the job situation is here. Especially with no degree to speak of. I'm lucky to have the job…

I could only transfer if I wanted to take a huge cut in pay. Which would cause more stress. And I'm actually not in direct contact with them. I see the nurse less than once a week and see the other gal even less than that. That's the good part. It's just stressful mostly because I'm a people pleaser, and having people mad…

I completely agree with you! Although I do have a goal in mind of when I'd like to lose the weight...I think I'm doing just fine. I still eat pretty much whatever I want. Yes, I don't drink pop anymore, but it's not like I've banned myself from doing so. I still "sneak" sips of my husbands pop, or will randomly decide to…

Welcome! This place is wonderful. I've been on since August of 2010, took a little break from end of September to end of December, and came back with a vengence! You will be surprised at all the motivation and support going on in this place. Feel free to add me!

Heart Rate Monitor! It's the only true way to know. I could've sworn I was burning so many more calories doing my 10 minute solution(and that could be the thought MFP put in my head...) but it really wasn't burning much. Same with walking. I would probably trust the machines a lot more than MFP. But like I said...get a…

When I do something like this I enter it in as a recipe. The whole thing...the chicken and everything. I know you don't end up eating ALL the marinade, but in my mind, it's better to over estimate than under!

The Girl Who Played with Fire is good too. Now I'm looking forward to reading the next one! I've looked at Shutter Island, maybe I'll have to pick that up!

Completely agree with The Dark Tower series...AMAZING. I loved them and when I finished one I couldn't wait to get the next one.

It depends on how low calorie your talking. When you set up the account and input all of your details, it should've asked what you wanted to lose a week, and your activity level. If you want to lose 2lbs a week, and your honest with yourself, work as hard as you say you do, and track everything...chances are you'll lose…

Are you talking about at the bottom of their reply? You need to edit your signature to do that. (Right underneath: Message Boards>>Introduce Yourself>>??) If you're talking about the goals themselves...I picked dates that were significant to me, estimated about how much weight I SHOULD lose by that point, and made it a…

What a wonderful question! I've lost almost 40lbs and can definitely tell a difference. I'm dying for the day when it will be gone! Or at least for the most part.

Mine used to be mostly blue, and now they're mostly green. But they turn blue when I'm feeling down(Gee...you don't think I had depression issues in highschool do ya?!?!)

I have a split Uvula(The hangy thing in the back of your throat).

If you put everything in as a Recipe, then figure out how many servings there are, it will do the math for you. I made chili this weekend too and did a pound of burger, 2 cans of chili beans, 1 cup dried beans, a jar of home-canned tomatoes, a small can tomato sauce, and some chili powder...that usually runs me about six…

I've heard Vodka is pretty low in calories...can't remember an exact number though. Oh, and I am a Vodka drinker to the core. Every once in a while I throw in some of the Captain...but mostly Vodka.

I have a bit more weight to lose than you, but I'm also a mother! We're planning on having more, but not until I'm a healthier weight. This website is AMAZING.If you stick with it, I think you'll love it!

Definitely did NOT go away from walking around. With the first round we went shopping and I walked around for hours. It does go away after a few days though. I'm thinking I just can't do the Shred 2 days in a row right now.

Thank you for the information!

That's what I'm thinking, because the Wii Active doesn't bother me if I do it every other day. The Pilate's was only a one day thing though, so that's where I'm hung up. My thighs are very muscular, (I was a dancer for years, and could leg press more than majority of the guys in my highschool weight training class) so it's…

I was thinking it had something to do with this. Just wasn't sure how to fight it off.

I have not gone back to 30 Day Shred. This pain is so terrible I can barely walk...let alone work out. I've done Wii Active again, but never 2 days in a row, and haven't gotten the pain from doing it that way.

Dark Hair and Light Eyes...too bad my husband has brown hair and brown eyes...lol

Seven months to lose 35 lbs. But I also took a break from October to end of December. Still have quite a ways to go.
