EEEWW!!! Bile, I guess, cos I could clothespin my nose shut, close my eyes, scrunch up my face and be grateful it would be over soon. Would you rather inhale a fly or a spider?

My willpower is better in the morning and at the gym. When I _____ I always _____ with a great deal of _____.

Thanks, Ed. And I mean thank you. What a sweet thing to say, to recognize how we are carrying ourselves through this journey.

Feel free to add me, any or all of you. Glad to share this journey.

I did a class last night for the first time. Today my knees and feet really hurt. But...I am a little older, and I think after I lose some more weight I might try it again. For now I much prefer my workout at the gym. Go figure. But it was a blast, and I loved the music. I'm proud of myself for keeping up for the whole…

Well, you have come to the right place. This community is strong, motivating, encouraging, and will help you with any questions you have along the way. I have found it a really valuable site. Welcome. We are all in this together. Yes, you are right in that a size 12 by summer is totally do-able. I KNOW you will make it.…

I am definitely not a morning person. That said, when I do exercise shortly after getting up it results in my feeling better all day, feeling more energy, and, novelty of all novelties, makes me want to exercise more. Now I NEVER thought I would ever write anything like that. Today was one of those days. First thing after…

Rouge Runners? Unstoppable? Fitness Witness? Team Rouge?

Laura, I have sensed in your MFP comments to others an unusually-caring and sweet person. Your story bears that out. To have endured such tragedies at such a young age and within a short period of time could only have been devastating. And now for you to rise from that difficulty into wanting a new and better life is…

Hi Brian. Well, if you're looking for a community of encouragers, you've found it. There are so many people here who keep you pumped about what you're doing, compliment you on every tenth of a pound lost, and see you through the rough spots. I am glad to be one of them so feel free to add me. I will go add you right now.

I asked my nutritionist this very question on Wednesday, and she said that it depends on when I go to bed, as about three hours before bedtime give my body time to digest the food. I have been trying really hard to finish by 7 pm, and have been successful, for the most part.

I will: *feel proud *not avoid mirrors *wear shorts and a bathing suit next summer *enjoy the comments of others *shop, shop, shop

Come on, do it again. I have no plot ideas (yet) either, just a title and three characters' names. I'm getting a bit apprehensive, to say the least, but can't wait to start. If you sign up, let me know your user name so I can add you as a writing buddy. My name is the same as on here, memah. Add me, too.

Yep, I'm all signed up. This will be my second year. I am going to add you as a writing buddy, valqis, okay? Please add me. memah

Kaiti, I just added you as a writing buddy on the NaNo site, and I hope you will add me. This will be great fun. Now we can share our fitness and our writing journeys together.

I couldn't believe it when I saw this. I am already signed up, and will def add you as a buddy. Please do the same. (My name there is Memah.) I got my nephew and a good college friend to join, and my college friend got two others. I did NaNo last year and when I broke my leg in Feb. that gave me lots of time to spend…

Drinking water as we "speak...":drinker:

"stick to coat a.....pan" What do you mean, stick to coat? Thanks. Veggie recipe looks really good.

I love Curves. Lost 52 pounds with their 30-minute workout three times a week AND eating well, of course. I found it not so hard, fun, social, and very motivating. I am going to join again after my two-month gym membership ends with the fitness program I'm in now. I completely recommend Curves, but don't know Curves Smart…

Growing up with two English-teacher parents instilled many good qualities in you. My poor husband is stuck with an English teacher, and let me tell you, he is long-suffering! I am a writer, and it hurts me to see things like "alot," or incorrect use of "lose/loose," along with the many other errors. Our English language…

I would like to join. I feel that I might be the oldest person on this whole MFP site at 65. But if I am I don't even care because I don't feel what that number sounds like. I have lost between 10 and 11 pounds since September 7, and am working to make October even more productive in terms of weight lost. I am still…

Michigan here, southwestern lower corner on the lake. Where are you. Good to have a Michigan buddy.

Hey Ryan, maybe you can help me. I'm 65, attempting to lose a total of 38 pounds. I have already lost 10 (since September 7). I ride my recumbent bike for at least 30 minutes on the weekend days, but M-F I go to the gym. There I do 40 minutes on treadmill, alternating between 2.8 and 3.2 (I am a relative beginner). I do 20…

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the suggestion of the Paul Eugene videos on You Tube. I just did one, and wow, it's the perfect thing for me. I am going to continue these. I am really grateful :flowerforyou:
