I stopped eating it because of the calories and until I could learn to fit it into my diet in a healthy way. Last night, my husband brought home some beautiful looking steaks. I cooked them (I can cook a steak, I actually won a small competition once). We sat down to dinner and after one bite, I was done. I couldn't take…

I have a few times. However, I have an immediate family of 24 that comes over for cookouts often. Preparing a meal for that many people is a workout. I like to do it about once every few months though. I wouldn't trade them for anything! :heart:

NASCAR drivers burn a ton of calories from their adrenaline going, heart rate up, and arms control so long and their fires suits being on so long. It gets hot in there (over 100 degrees) and they lose a lot of water weight each race and have to stay hydrated. However, we are not all NASCAR drivers...lol. :tongue:

The only time I log anything that seems "normal routine" is if it is out of my routine and I break a sweat doing it! Also, I have to do it for more than 20 minutes and only log 20% of the time. Am I making any sense or rambling? LOL For example, I logged cleaning yesterday...but I scrubbed the bottom of the pool and…

There are only 2 vegetable I don't like, and technically they are roots. Radish and Horseradish. I actually like more vegetables than fruits. I find different ways to cook them. A year ago, there was no way you were getting me to eat a pepper or an onion. Then I realized how much flavor they add to other foods. Now I love…

For Mayonnaise, I switched to Hellman's Olive Oil Reduced Fat Mayo, and I LOVE IT. I am a mayo snob too, and even if I wasn't eating healthier, I wouldn't go back. It tastes like Subway Mayo. Fat Free cream cheese is just...ummm, gross to me. However, I love Laughing Cow products! I could eat those alone. The one thing I…

I recently overheard a couple of ladies at CHURCH, of all places, say "I heard she wasn't eating at all". As I walked by them :huh: Really? I wanted to go up to them and say "It is only 10 a.m. and I have had 6 egg whites, a mini bagel with cinnamon cream cheese, a string cheese, a banana, and a glass of chocolate milk.…

So...I started my period this morning. I went on two walk/jogs today. A year ago, that would have landed me a trip to the ER. I am sitting here eating an ice cream sandwich, some guacamole, and chips and enjoying the show. I do have to say, all in all, this has been entertaining. Some people have no compassion or…

I am totally CRACKING UP! Oh, I have had those moments...ahhh, memories.

Mine is open, and I get tons of crap for it. :grumble: I just updated my profile with WHY I am not eating as much as MFP says I should, just so people know. Get's old explaining it.

Yeah...those kinds have landed me a stay in the hospital a night or two before. One time on Halloween. But the best part was I was still 17, so they had to put me in the pediatric unit, so I got all kinds of candy and stuff! :)

I was thin. I was 130 pounds. I was HEALTHY, then I got the shot. My thyroid stopped working and I gained over 100 pounds in the blink of an eye and spent YEARS finding a doctor that would listen to me and test for the right things. The ONLY thing that changed from me being healthy and thin to being sick and fat was that…

:drinker:

I have been on BOTH sides of this. Used to be so bad that I was in the bathroom every 15 minutes. Either getting sick or just sitting there. Cramps so bad, I couldn't breathe. So...I would NOT be able to do anything. And if I tried, there was a big mess. Now (after having my uterus "thinned") I have better luck with it.…

Actually, I am right where my doctor and dietitian want me right now due to multiple medical issues. The numbers are still going down...I was just pointing out that even though they are, I am gaining inches back from not exercising.

I have 3 cats. Every time I exercise, that is when they decide to play. My bum is a resting place for the fat one when I am doing push-ups. When I am doing sit-ups, one bats at my hair. Then if I am doing jumping jacks, my ankle bracelet is free game for attack!

Try getting in a few extra calories with nuts or trail mix. I found it helped with feeling sluggish and gave me the extra that I need.

I have mine set to 170 for now. When I get there, I will probably set a new goal. I just thought it would be a good first goal. That is when I plan on starting the toning and strength on a more "hardcore" level. If that makes any sense. :tongue: I see no problem with setting a new goal after reaching your original goal. Be…

Orange cat is Cheese. Tortoise Shell Calico is Pippa. Gray Calico is Sister. We had a long haired gray cat named Hazel (To go with Sister, Sister Hazel) but she got outside and has been missing for two weeks. :( I miss her.

Awesome NSV! I am going to star using Zombies Run! This week. It should prove to be fun. :)

I would probably take him something. I like to walk in the rain. :wink:

I have not read them. Probably not going to. I am not into those kinds of books. I have a lot of friends that have read them and some loved them and some hated them. I guess it would depend on your style. If you are easily offended, you probably shouldn't read them.

You sir, are a genius!

Yep!

The only time that has ever had a positive effect with me was when a WAITRESS asked when I was due. :huh: Got a free meal out of that one, because she was EXTREMELY rude about it when I told her I wasn't pregnant. She had the nerve to say "Well, do you want to order a salad then?" :explode: I was up over that table faster…

Everyday. Morning. After Pee. After Poop. Lightest clothes I own. Before Breakfast. Exhaling. Make sure I am not holding my cellphone.

Sounds fantastic and would fill me up right away! I will have to try it. ;) Maybe with Flatbread instead of a tortilla shell though. I like those.

A friend of mine posted this and I have it printed out and taped everywhere in my house: :heart: If hunger isn't the problem, then food isn't the solution. :heart: You need to change how you think. I used to plan my day around when I was going to eat and what I was going to eat. No more! I plan my day as it comes and when…

Congrats! I love this place. :)

She was wonderful and she seems like an AWESOME mother. I hope she goes one to do great things and doesn't give up. What a wonderful gal!
