"Gender stereotyping is an accurate predictor of my behaviors."

My maiden name is Keto, so threads like this always confuse the hell out of me at first. :laugh:

My friend would love pureeing Mexican foods -- melted cheese, salsa, light sour cream. It was like a creamy blended taco, apparently. It'd get protein and some vegetables in, too, and it's not as bland as some of the other things she could have.

GOD HATES FIGS

I make this all the time, minus the mustard. I'll have to try adding that in. Also, pop it in the microwave for about 30 seconds for a delicious warm Mexican fiesta in your mouth.

Excellent work! My work pants are too big but I don't want to buy new ones until I'm at my goal (another 10 pounds), so duct tape and rope it is! I hope they know I'm emphasizing "casual" in the term "business casual"

I've got those stubborn "last 10 pounds." And then I'll re-evaluate to see how I like my results once I get there. The weight just flew off me, but these last 10 are going to be difficult....

HAHA! Yes! I gotta say Big Rock honey brown is one of the most amazing beers I've ever had (Sleeman's is pretty good too). And I found Magic Hat at Liquor Depot last week and I almost cried out of happiness. Once Target's here, I'll have no reason to go back! :laugh:

Depends what you get. Seagrams and Royal Crown are good. Canadian Club is trash (then again, it IS rye). I do miss the US prices. Rumor has it that the extra alcohol cost goes into the health care system, so I can't complain. I'm just investing in a new liver whenever I drink.

Thank you!! I had the same question, because sometimes I think I pull it too tight, too. Good to have a frame of reference.

My exboyfriend once told me "How are you losing all this weight? I don't date girls with eating disorders, you know." Umm...yeaah...and he also had an overeating disorder, which he didn't categorize as an 'eating disorder' apparently.

I'm in Edmonton. I should probably eat snow too, my backyard is overfilled with the stuff right now. But I'd probably log it under "unflavored sno-cones" as opposed to water.

^This. My hubby gets upset if I try to cook. Apparently the Playboy Gourmet tells him the best way to impress your ladyfriend is to cook her delicious, healthy meals. I ain't complaining. :wink:

Eric: Sexy librarian! For the record, I'm a legit librarian, got a MLIS that's ALA/CLA-certified. I don't know if I qualify as sexy though. :grumble:
-
Bleh. I know what you mean. I have one friend who told me never to eat cheese. She said "it's HORRIBLE for you!" Really? I lost 33 pounds eating cheese damn near every day! Healthy fats are a good thing. The most frustrating part is that she's convinced herself that weight loss "isn't for her" because she's followed those…

Elk is AWESOME for lean meat. I had an amazing elk steak the other day, and it was 4 oz, 130 cals, 2g fat, 30g protein. Nomz.

MOAR FRIENDS! Add me!

I met my husband on the Beastie Boys message board. We decided to meet up one time in 2006 as friends when he was visiting my city and the rest is history. I already knew so much about him, since we'd been friends for years, so it just sorta happened. Either way, we had to tell the older relatives that we met on vacation…

You are correct.

Your muscles need some time to recover...my calves were burning yesterday, so I took the time I would have gone to the gym, did some light housework instead and called it a day. Still enough to get some circulation going and my heart rate up, but not enough that I would do any more damage to my muscles.

Totally. I find it obnoxious. I hate most sitcoms that contain canned laughter, save for Seinfeld.
-
Haha! Can you believe customs made sure I didn't bring any in? How rude!

Edmonton. Disclaimer: I'm an American, moved up here 5 years ago, and have been squatting here and milking your health care for all its worth. You all are too polite to tell me to stop. :smile:

I've always KINDA hoped that another cashier would say something like "Dang girl, you eat a lot of vegetables!" Since they don't, this always inspires me to buy more in the hopes that next time they will. One of these days, I'll buy 300 pounds of nothing but veggies, and stare at them expectantly. That should do the trick.

Jack Daniels on the rocks. Used to love Jack and Cokes until I realized how much sugar and empty calories it was! So, just cut out that unhealthy soda and I'm left with uber-healthy whiskey. That's how it works, right?

I'm on day 4. I've got two sets of weights -- 2 pounds, and 5 pounds. My hubby does the exercises with me with the 5 pounders. Has anyone tried it with 2 pounders and had good results? Or should I kick his *kitten* to the curb and steal his weights? :tongue:
-
I live in the northernmost city in Canada with a population over a million...so yes. Yes I do. It gets down to -40 here (same in fahrenheit and centigrade), so there's no way I'm leaving my house in that sort of ridiculousness! There's no plug-ins at the gym, and my car often refuses to start at that temp...so not about to…

You're the same height and starting weight as me. I'm down 32 (over 8 months), though my body looks much better at this weight than it did previously. Don't worry too much about the number -- focus more on how things are fitting and what your tape measurements are.

I used to put ketchup on my hot dogs and hated mustard. Completely opposite now.

I married an intelligent, nerdy bookworm with an excellent sense of humor. :heart:
