^^This except for with seafood :)

I wasn't sure either but if it does, it makes my list! (I was trying to reply specifically to the person asking about Gone With the Wind and messed it up :)

The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Atlas Shrugged, The Princess Bride, Jane Eyre, Great Expectations.

My husband still likes a good old fashioned fattening meal. When I plan the menu for the week, I ask him if there is anything he would like that week. Then I plan for those hamburgers, taco salads, etc. I try to find lighter versions but if not thats ok too. I keep my calorie count lower for the rest of the day. On the…

One thing you can do is to find a wall, curb, step, etc and put your foot against the raised surface to get a good stretch. You could also have someone massage your lower legs. Take the heel of the hand in long, slow motion from the bottom of the leg to just before the knee joint using a high-ish pressure. This will hurt.…

The Princess Bride. Second time reading it.

I have heard numerous times that it is best to eat carbs earlier in the day. The metabolism and digestive systems are supposedly more active. I however usually save my carbs/calories for dinner. My husband is not dieting and he will request certain foods to eat during the week. For the most part dinner is my only starchy…

You look fantastic! Great job! P.S. That sunburn looks like it kills :)

I weigh everyday. I am only going to log when I am consistantly at a certain weight.

I do not cook differently for my family. Every week when I plan the menu I ask my husband what he wants to eat that week. He usually gives me three to four meals (not always the most healthy). I then carefully plan those meals into the week. I'll make sure that I eat light for the rest of the day and that I don't have too…

Bump. I would love to hear if anyone has plan to do splits.

I do. There are a lot of staple item that I buy that I know roughly the amount of calories of. Right now my husband and I are not eating corn syrup and so I've spent a little extra time at the store reading ingredients labels.

5'1. 119 lbs currently, looking to get to about 105lbs. No longer 21 but not yet ancient.

There are actually groups on here for us short people. I am 5'1 and at 119 right now. I think people think I'm crazy when I say that my goal weight is 105 lbs but there just aren't a lot of places fat can go on a small frame. Trust me, there are lots of us out there.

1 1/2 hours on elliptical. Too hot to go running outside during the day :)

I keep to general guidelines but I don't specifically cut anything out and I don't log my calories. Carbs are my great food love and so I really have to watch them. I plan my meals for the week in advance and only have carbs for one meal a day. The rest of my meals and snacks include lots of fruits and veggies and well…
