So I made this cake over the weekend... mixed reviews. Some really liked it, others said it was ok but not as good as they would have liked. Nobody really disliked it though. It was heavier than a flour cake, but not as dense as a brownie. A little dry, but not overly dry. I liked it. I used whole eggs rather than just the…

I get it. Good for you! My wife always says she has a b00by-do... you know, when your belly sticks out farther than your B00by do? Well, years ago she jokingly observed that I now had a d!nky-do. Nice. You get the idea... My d!nky-do is gone. Woot!

Some guy I worked with in the 80's just started calling me Bearman one day (because it rhymes with my first name - Blair) and it stuck for years. Then in the 90's when I was creating a user account for Ebay I decided to use it, but it was already taken. So Ebay gave me a list of alternate names and I picked one...…

Yup. Your body is simply getting rid of junk that it once stored for "a rainy day". You've convinced it that the day is never coming so it's doing some house cleaning. It's a good thing.

Justmetookiee... looking good. To post your pics, use the "IMG Code" that photobucket gives you and enter the following: But change the IMG to lowercase letters.

Looking fabulous Laumanu! To get your pic to show, just change the IMG to lowercase letters...

Here's mine after 80 pounds lost...

I do! We go out for a special time whenever mom is otherwise occupied. Sometimes it's simple, like a move and other times its more involved. There is an annual "Daddy Daughter Dance" that happens nearby and we attend each year. This is a special black tie event, open only to girls and their father figures. We see all ages…

What he said!

As soon as you accept anything, you open the door to defeat. Five pounds might not seem like much, and really, it isn't, but it's the crack in the door. Anytime we justify ourselves, or compromise ourselves, we are silently giving in. It's our queue to look in the mirror and say NO. Have you set your goal? Do you know how…

LuckyLeprechaun - nice perspective. I get it.

Amen to that! Add to that list the opportunity to set a new goal. I know you mentioned it, "and so on and so forth", but goal setting can be a fun and challenging reward in itself. And you don't "get" to do it until the last one has been reached. Two of my biggest rewards are being able to keep up with my daughter to enjoy…

I own a gourmet food truck... making and serving natural, artisan ice cream.

MacGyver wait... is that a word?

I usually have some sort of fruit smoothie, but to up the protein I throw in one, or a combo of the following... Raw, shelled pumpkin seeds - great protein but lots of calories Dry lentils - I like Tru Roots Sprouted Beam Trio - lots of protein and fiber without the fat of nuts and seeds Cooked Quinoa - really makes a…

"Do something other than nothing" or "You're gonna hate me before you learn to love me" or "Healthy? You decide." All said by people I know...

I've often asked my self these same things. Why can't I just make my own? Typically, I have a morning shake that consists of water, a cup of frozen strawberries, and Arbonne Essentials vanilla powder. It's very yummy, satisfying and filling. Sometimes I add some grapes. Here's what you get... Ingredients Calories Fat…

What Wisebadger said. Me smiling back at me is a fine reward!

Thanks for posting!

I hold doors. Is that weird?

No need to explain Barmum. I didn't mean to suggest that you were not being a great mum for your son. Sorry if it sounded that way. I know a little of what your go through on that front and I salute you. I use a similar free stuff site and experience the same at times. Some folks are generally ungrateful and at time…

Hang in there. It get's better. Doctor's aren't supportive; they're informative. Look elsewhere for support and avoid the disappointment in your doctor. This will pass it you push through it. Exercise is relative. We each have limitations for whatever reason and the key is finding exercise that fits within our current…

Well, my boobs have definitely gotten a lot smaller. And this is good. :tongue:

At the risk of sounding presumptuous, I will respectfully suggest that it is not your boobs that need to be re-evaluated, but rather your relationship. That, however, is for you alone to decide. As far as boobs in general go, I think all men are attracted to boobs by nature. It's how we're wired. Most of us have been…
